Yeah, a sort of Virtual Console on iOS and Android would be unbelievably cool, but is almost certainly not going to happen. The Switch seems to be reviving Nintendo's fortunes, which is great but probably further reduces the possibility of classic Nintendo games making the jump to iOS (like...

The developer of Dead Cells has actually hinted on several occasions that they'd like to make a Switch version!

Yeah, Castlevania would be among my top. Advance Wars would be another, though I'm hoping War Groove scratches that itch.

Zelda is the obvious answer, as pretty much everyone has said. I would add ARMS as well, because it's genuinely pretty great but also one of those weird games that could only exist on the Switch.

So much depends on what you do with your iPad. I moved from an iPad Air to the 2nd Gen 12.9" Pro, and for me the larger size is crucial because I work on mine daily, and having two full-size apps on the screen is key to some of my workflows. On the other hand, I find that when I open Kindle to...

For me, unquestionably in handheld mode. As a new parent and generally busy person whose spouse doesn't enjoy games, being able to pull out a handheld for 10 minutes here or there is mostly how I'm able to play these days.

4K video might be possible with such a thing, as the chip is powerful enough. Even with active cooling in the dock, however, I don't think you'd get enough horsepower for decent 4K upscale of games without a dedicated gpu in the dock, and at that point the cost would begin to skyrocket. Even the...

It's a killer gaming device, but as a tablet it's pretty lacking. I'm sure some video apps will come, but it doesn't seem like that's a focus for anybody at Nintendo.

However they do it, I've been dying to hear more about their Virtual Console plans for the system (or variation thereof). I'm particularly hoping for N64 games, which seem like the perfect fit to me. So far, as was noted, only the subscription based thing has been mentioned, and that with very...

The games typically follow a certain formula, and it's a good one. I'd love to see local multiplayer battles, which could work great with the joycons. I've also always wanted a smartphone companion app where one could see their team on the go.

I fully expect a new Apple TV (in the Fall?) to support 4K, but more important for me is that it supports one or more of the HDR standards. I'll probably be in the market for a new TV in a year or two, and I'll definitely be looking for HDR. I'm pretty sure the pieces are in place. The new iPad...

For what it's worth, I have an old iPad Air that still gets a lot of use (especially recently, while I've been waiting for the new 12.9"). For its entire near four-year existence I've used it with the Smart Cover and nothing else, though I have a sleeve I'll put it in if I'm throwing it in a bag...

This (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/06/06/logitech-slim-combo-case-ipad-pro/) is probably close to what you want. You might not need the keyboard, but the back case is there and Logi typically makes pretty great keys...

It's beautiful and I can't wait for the reviews and videos at the end of this year, but my usage needs hardly justify it. Alas.

I'm actually pretty thrilled that there aren't many new features, but rather the focus on the underlying technologies. On a day to day basis, however, I expect Safari killing insta-play video ads will be my favorite feature, small as that may seem. And perhaps the fact that "faces" will finally...
