I figured you just thought it was a particularly excited horse.

LOL Indeed.

Listening to the UE4 section. 1080p medium settings docked. Sounds good.

On the whole specs thing, people are too focused on the portable mode, to me, it's pretty obvious that it would have a lower power profile. It's not like you can pick up your PS4 and take it out of the house and use it on a bus.

Digital Foundry's video on their Switch story said that phones and tablets throttle themselves when too much heat builds up. Even on devices which use the TX1 chip. They said obviously you cannot have a tablet style situation where you get good performance for an hour - before the system overheats and throttles performance. You need a stable framerate. Their reasoning for the low clocks on portable mode was that it was a conservative estimate so there would be consistent performance when undocked and that in the future they could raise the threshold for how much power devs can use.

Someone used the same UE4 preset settings that Switch uses and ran some games and demos through their PC to show what it looks like.

UE4 Elemental demo- Nintendo Switch Docked Mode Settings

This looks great to me^ docked mode.

UE4 Elemental demo- Nintendo Switch Portable Mode Settings

At first I thought this one looked blurrier, but then it seemed okay. Looks a lot better than the mobile version they released a while back.

Anyone getting Shantae Half Genie hero? The previous games got good reviews, but this one is made for HD and not 16 bit graphics. I want to get it but was hoping for someone else to road test it first.

I'll be getting it at one point, but I have too many other games on my plate that need finishing already.  I'm also not convinced by the new 2.5D artstyle.
