doesn't work that way.

trust me..

you can't simply connect the 2.1 speakers to the ps4 controller headphone jack.

need dac and toshlink cable.

and Sony sneakily removed optical output from PS4 Slim

but if only wan to output to speaker. I think going through TV better? I dunno
or can bypass through speakers? hmm

Simply think switch is like tablet. If tablet can run your 2.1 speakers, switch shouldn't be an issue

While attending the Nintendo Switch London event, Game Reactor Spain learned that the console will support micro SD cards up to 2 TB. With SD cards with such capacity being uncommon today, it’s clear that Nintendo has been thinking ahead.

Additionally, the Game Reactor Spain reports reveals that the Nintendo Switch is ready for external USB drives, which will have to be connected to the console via the dock’s ports. This option, apparently, won’t be active at launch.

Actually you need to compare apple to apple. As a handheld, the Switch has to have a earphone jack (just like Vita, mobile phones, 3DS, except the Gameboy I think, which has its own connector, not standard 3.5mm). And for this purpose the Switch's earphone jack is badly placed cos the earphone cable will dangle across the screen.

As a home console, there is actually no need for a console itself to have earphone jack (just like DVD/Blu-ray players dont have it). Your TV or amp/receiver is your entertainment center's audio hub, with multiple audio/visual sources coming into it (console, DVD/BD player, set top box...). If you have external speakers, you would connect it to TV's audio output (3.5mm or optical or HDML ARC) or the amp/receiver, whichever is your audio hub. Why would you have 1 set of speakers connected specifically to a console only (and then perhaps another set connected to DVD/BD player, another set connected to set top box...). For this purpose, the ps4 or switch does not need earphone jack. In fact there is no guarantee that the 3.5mm jack on the Switch will still output audio when it is docked, cos logically it shouldn't.

By the way the PS4's controller does have a 3.5mm earphone jack, if you want to use earphone. You can also connect external speakers to it as well. Now Xbox One also copied that and have 3.5mm jack on their revised controller.

The Nintendo Switch’s hardware specifications arched some eyebrows when it was revealed that, once again, Nintendo was launching a console with a shrimpy 32 GB of flash memory on board. Now we know what it really means to a user. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild requires 13.4 GB of storage space if it is downloaded to the Nintendo Switch. That is a little under half of the internal capacity of Nintendo’s new console.

remember to get expandable storage if you planning to go full digital.

If the controller has an audio jack that means the bluetooth connection doesn't just sync the controller, it also brings forward the audio to the controller. So anything that can plug into it should work including speakers.

Whether can work or not depends on whether your speakers can connect using 3.5mm cable. Some speakers can use 3.5mm cable like a lot of those mainstream logitech speakers. Some speakers don't have 1, only have RCA (the pair cable) or optic or something else then ofc cannot.

it simply doesn't work when i plug into that controller.

Hm, different website say different thing.
Maybe $80-85. That's still fine i guess.

how can a USD60 game be SGD100?


if local retailer mark up the price, you can always buy from amazon...with the weaker USD now, probably cheaper too.

Cause i read from eurogamer, they selling at £60 in europe. That would translate to about USD80 -> SGD100. Then i recall europe pricing for games not the same as us pricing, cannot just convert liddat.

Anyway, since we follow US, so yea shld be USD60 -> SGD80++

The price for the accessories is crazy !!!
What's Nintendo thinking ???

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

indeed

I think the best add-on is the pro controller. but then it comes default with joy-con grip so that makes it not so essential.

 

[mocax]

all the games will be running from catridges, don't need much.
gamecube virtual console games probably 1 or 2GB each.

from the presentation video, seems like the joycon itself crammed a lot of features inside, not an ordinary controller....
