Flojomojo Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 https://liliputing.com/2017/11/vastking-g800-like-cross-nintendo-switch-windows-tablet.html If you were wondering how long it would take for Chinese manufacturers to try to bolt JoyCon-type controllers to a cheap Windows tablet, well, know you know. This is probably OK for playing Rocket League and Skyrim, but I'll bet the Switch does that even better ... and in only a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Those are some nice specs. Now just need to see the build quality of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I figured Nintendo would have had a patent on that design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'm sure they do .... but that won't stop the clone makers. See also GPD XD, which looks almost exactly like a New 3DS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Well, now I'm seeing Nintendo was hit with a lawsuit over the detachable controllers. Older news news I didn't catch it when it came out. http://fortune.com/2017/08/11/nintendo-lawsuit-wikipad-switch-patent/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yup I saw that childish IP trolling lawsuit using sketchy terminology as the usual way to waste their time and money on lawyers. Hopefully Nintendo decides to get more vindictive over such cretins in the future (as I would hope Sony would too) and sue for colossal damages to put them under. Patent trolling is overplayed and rotten. I'm curious about that vastking device on how it will end up if it makes it to market as they're seeking a partner. I'd think they'd have to be worried about Nintendo going after them with 2 detachable controllers with suspiciously look very similarly designed and attached. That's far closer to the Switch than that comedic stupid patent troll going after Nintendo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Didn't Metal Jesus review a system very similar to this a little while back? (He didn't like it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was probably an Android thing. This thing isn't released yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yeah didn't Sony put out the PS3 at first without rumble because of a lawsuit, even though they've had the dual shock controllers since PS1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
