At the switch conference it looked like one of the new hairstyles was frosted tips and I'd probs be willing to buy a new console if I get to play as Guy Fieri

* the nerds say the switch is regular usb c charging (same as fancy new laptops and fancy phones), great news from charger hell which is the wii u

* i hope usb c -> HDMI dongles work, i want to plug it into a big screen without lugging around the dock

* some report from last year claims max game size is 16GB at launch. the 200GB microSD for ~$70 seems like the right size for now

I would like to report that the SWITCH charges acceptably on a 2.4 amp old USB port, and went from like 80% to 100% in a not-completely-unreasonable amount of time on the little tiny power brick that comes with an iPhone.

though I HOPE someone makes a mini-dock / gets the switch working with usb-c to HDMI because FUCK i'm going to have to carry this stupid fucking dock around to plug it into TVs
