I mentioned Link to the Past, not Link's Awakening.How do you use the d-pad in Links Awakening? I can't see an option in the settings and only the stick works for movement for me.

This is the first time I get a Nintendo console that's getting support where I live, in a LONG time.
I'm in love with this damn thing. It looks gorgeous, the games it gets are gorgeous, the whole thing is amazing.
But...
I think I got one of the consoles with the shitty d-pads, I tried ALttP and I can definitely relate to how diagonals are really hard to press. I got the console from EB Canada, they won't cause issues with exchanging the console, right? I hope they'll let me just kind of open the box there and check it on the spot for the return.
The damn thing is a dream come true besides the outright defective d-pad. Honestly I'm glad that it is at least not an inherent issue.
Is there any way to measure or quantify the malfunction of the d-pad?
I'm anxious about returning it, I hope it goes well.
This is a stupid ass question but is there any vid out there of how the d-pad is *supposed to* work like?
No, but Nintendo still has rumble defaulted to on in the settings menu. I assumed they'd be smarter than that and have a UI that's been modified for the Lite and not display settings clearly meant for the OG Switch, but oh well.

Thanks. I guess I'll hold off on trading in my Switch fir the Lite.No, but Nintendo still has rumble defaulted to on in the settings menu. I assumed they'd be smarter than that and have a UI that's been modified for the Lite and not display settings clearly meant for the OG Switch, but oh well.
Man, that's so bizarre. I can't imagine what could be leading to these discrepancies in a dpad.Yikes I just tried mine with Zelda LTTP. It's terrible.
Initializing the console now and will send it back. Man, I love it otherwise. It's exactly what I'd want out of a Switch.
I'll go back to never using my old one and hope they fix this at some point.
I made this video to show how mine are working in case you want to test how yours compares.
I also made a video, and unless I suddenly forgot how to use a d-pad, I think there's pretty clearly a difference:
Yeah I was able to rig up a Frankenstein's monster of adapters to get an Ethernet cable attached to the one I bought for my sister. I used a USB C to USB A adapter then used a USB A to Ethernet adapter and that did the trick.I have a somewhat general question- is it possible to get a wired Internet connection through the charging port, through some adapter or something?
Should be the same way as the original Switch in that regard, the only feature removed was the video output. USB devices like controllers and ethernet adapters should still connect and work fine.I have a somewhat general question- is it possible to get a wired Internet connection through the charging port, through some adapter or something?
Amazing, thanks!Yeah I was able to rig up a Frankenstein's monster of adapters to get an Ethernet cable attached to the one I bought for my sister. I used a USB C to USB A adapter then used a USB A to Ethernet adapter and that did the trick.
Great to hear! Follow up question- are there ethernet-to-USB C adapters out there? :pShould be the same way as the original Switch in that regard, the only feature removed was the video output. USB devices like controllers and ethernet adapters should still connect and work fine.

Would it be too presumptuous to ask for the videos to be threadmarked so that people have a visual reference for the dpad issue?Thank goodness we both now have 2 videos versions of that is working and a bad D-pad.
Sure there are. Anker even makes a combination Ethernet adapter and powered USB hub, it's $26 on Amazon. I'm sure there's plenty of options around.Great to hear! Follow up question- are there ethernet-to-USB C adapters out there? :p
Found a direct converter for about $17 CAD, looks like that's resolved. thanks c:Sure there are. Anker even makes a combination Ethernet adapter and powered USB hub, it's $26 on Amazon. I'm sure there's plenty of options around.

It's for controllers that connect to it.No, but Nintendo still has rumble defaulted to on in the settings menu. I assumed they'd be smarter than that and have a UI that's been modified for the Lite and not display settings clearly meant for the OG Switch, but oh well.

Yes, Yes, and too early to tell, but I know Link's Awakening looks amazing to me, and I'm usually a stickler for native res.Couple of questions.
- Does Switch Lite support 5.0ghz Wi-fi?
- Can you wirelessly pair joycons to it?
- Any consensus on if the smaller screen actually impacts perception of aliasing?
You have more willpower than I did...I got it to my car from Bestbuy and took it back and bought more joycons.
Yes. You'd need to prop the Switch up, but after that you can indeed play splitscreen with a separate pair of Joycons.
For me, the loudness varies from game to game. On max volume Street Fighter Collection doesn't sound anywhere near as loud as River City Girls.FWIW, I just tested my speakers on Superbeat Xonic and at max volume the thing is absolutely BLARING at the title screen. I'll have to download the SNES games to test LttP for diagonals on the dpad.
I'm not sure what to do now. I would like to play my OG Switch portable but I find it to be uncomfortable.
If you don't want to get a Lite, get the Satisfye grip, it makes a world of difference on the OG switch.
Damn wtf is with Nintendo and dpads? They invented these fuckers and forgot how to make them.
I remember when the Lite was unveiled, the d-pad was a concern for some people here and honestly I thought they were being alarmist. I thought there was no way Nintendo would repeat the mistake they made with the Pro controller with the Lite.
The issue I have is the pro controller incorrectly inputting up/down when I'm pressing left and right. It makes Tetris infuriating to play. I'm glad you aren't having issues but it's a well known flaw in the controllers design.what's the problem with the pro controller's dpad? i have over 100 victories in tetris 99 Invictus Mode and i don't think i ever had a problem with the dpad. Launch controller too.
huh. don't think i ever had that happen to me.The issue I have is the pro controller incorrectly inputting up/down when I'm pressing left and right. It makes Tetris infuriating to play. I'm glad you aren't having issues but it's a well known flaw in the controllers design.
ain't gonna happen.
