Hey there, my friend! If you’re as excited as I am about the upcoming Nintendo Switch, then you’ll be thrilled to know there’s been some interesting info floating around, even though the official reveal is still just a month away.
Let’s dive into the details. First up, it looks like the Nintendo Switch won’t be supporting 3G or LTE. I know, it’s a bit of a head-scratcher, right? For a device that’s meant to be a hybrid handheld, the lack of cellular support could have a big impact on how we use it on the go.
Sure, it won’t be able to connect to the internet without Wi-Fi, but it’s still going to be interesting to see how people adapt, especially when the Switch could have benefited from the flexibility of 3G/LTE.
On the brighter side, there’s a bit of good news! Redditors and gamers over on NeoGAF have uncovered something pretty cool about the Switch that could change the way we look at the device. It seems the Nintendo Switch might actually be region-free. Yeah, you heard that right! Thanks to a power brick spec of AC 100 – 240 V, 50 / 60 Hz, 1 A, which is compatible worldwide, it seems like you won’t have to worry about using a step-down transformer or a special adapter if you buy the Switch in the US and want to use it in countries like India or the UK.
This could also mean that the games will be region-free, which is something Nintendo fans have been wishing for since, well, forever! If this turns out to be true, you could buy a game from anywhere in the world and it would work just fine, whether you’re in an NTSC region or a PAL region. That’s something I’m personally really hoping for, though it’s still not 100% confirmed.
And, hey, there’s more good stuff from the FCC filing! The Switch will support both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi, with 802.11ac MIMO (super fast and reliable), Bluetooth 4.0, and it’s been tested to work in temperatures from 5°C (41°F) to 35°C (95°F). So no worries if you want to game while enjoying a cool breeze or in a warmer climate, it’s built to handle a bit of both.
As for games? Well, the leaks keep on coming! We’ve heard about a Mario RPG crossover, Splatoon, and possibly even a Pokémon game. Sounds like a dream lineup, right? With all these details surfacing, the excitement for the Nintendo Switch just keeps on building!
I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds, but let me know what you think! Are you as curious as I am about the region-free possibilities or the lack of LTE?
