Nintendo Switch |OT| Now you're playing with power; HYBRID POWER! MAYBE!
- Thread starter Anubis
- Start date
I was poking around in My Nintendo today for some reason, and I'm really hoping that we get some news of Nintendo Switch rewards soon. I'm only expecting purchasable discounts on eShop games at most, but still, I have many coins and have only used them once to buy a phone wallpaper.
Good man. I've probably put that much in this weekend. Dolla' dolla' bill, y'all.
Do you guys have recommendations for primarily Nintendo YouTube channels, or general video game news?

Wiiviewer and Vanburen20 are two favorites of mine who are rather obscure compared to the ones you listed. Wiiviewer's been doing it for ten years, too

Another thing is that the sticks have "more room to travel" compared to the joy cons. So setting the sensitivity in Zelda to the fastest and aiming with the bow is no longer an issue. It was way too sensitive on the joy cons. I have large hands but the main issue I had were the tiny analog sticks... The pro controller is absolutely worth it.
So I've noticed that my switch controller has a problem with its left analog stick. Sometimes when pushing forward it seems to have trouble detecting that I'm doing so. For example when running in Zelda, Link will suddenly just come to a dead stop. Going through calibration doesn't seem to be helping and re-pairing it didn't do anything, so I'm guessing that it's a hardware issue. However I've been on phone hold for about an hour now and I'm starting to think that I'm not going to get anyone. Am I SOL? I really can't afford a new pro controller but there doesn't seem to be any other way to set up a repair order.
Puyo Puyo tetris I think only got limited amounts of physical copies for Switch.
Arlo is pretty good too.
I have been thinking about buying a Hori Pokken Tournament controller primarily to play SNK fighters (thanks Hamster). The button layout seems like it would be fine for most/any Neo Geo game. Is this the best D-Pad you can get for the Switch or is there a better option out there?
Is there a consensus on what the cheapest secondary dock solution is for a multi room situation?
Nice! @ Saturday Morning RPG LRG. I wonder what their first release will be.
LRG is always tricky for me. They are always games that look interesting but I'm not sure that I want to pay extra for physical, or they are games that I've played and loved, and want a physical copy of. Either way, $$$!!

I saw the insignia model at Best Buy for 39.99 seemed like the best reviewed/cheapest
I got a Switch last week alongside The Legend of Zelda: Breathe of the Wild and Splatoon 2. Hopefully the former (which I've been playing) lives up to the hype.
I've logged over 1,200 hours of Isaac and don't have any noteworthy complaints about its performance.
The main issue of note early on was some perpetual crashing during leaderboard updates for daily runs but they've largely been addressed via patches.
So once i've finished Mario Rabbids i'll be out of games to play.
Looking for recommendations on a game i can pick up and play quick 20-30 min bursts of, playthrough not much longer than 20-30 hours maybe?
Not a massive fan of metroid style games, tried shovel knight and it's way too hard for me to enjoy it.
I liked the look of stardew valley but i think the campaign is going to be too long really. Maybe i could try Doom or Wolfenstein 2?

I have not read about anyone ever connecting directly to a PC to download pictures. I'm only aware of the SD card solution where you remove it and plug it into the PC.
Where did you buy it from? Is it possible to make a return?
Also, there is a specific article related to the pro controller stick issue on Nintendo's website: http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22738/p/897/c/715
It will walk you through a few possible solutions and, if they don't work, there is a link at the bottom to setup a repair (which may or may not cost money, I haven't done it). It's probably the same phone number you are calling now but I would try again.
I recall there being one portable dock to avoid because the Switch was having issues with it but I can't think of the name. I want to get a dock for the bedroom myself.
Hello everyone, just got a switch and I am looking to buy some stuff from the eshop. I do not like using credit card/paypal/etc. on online purchases so I am looking for legit sites that sell eshop cards. Is https://egiftcards24.com a safe one? They seem to support paysafecard payments which I would prefer.
So I bought a Nintendo Switch last week and I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. I have to ask though, what size Micro SD card does everyone recommend. I see the 128 GB is pretty affordable but I was wondering if I should fork over the additional cash to get a 200GB?
I'm mostly buying physical, but I know the install sizes for games can definitely vary.

Just picked up Golf Story this weekend (several months late to the party). What a silly, fun, addictive game! The mechanics are simple, the story is goofy, but I can't stop playing! Super purchase at $15. Highly recommended to any others who, like me, were lagging behind in grabbing it.

This article is a writer holding himself accountable for poor analysis before Switch launch. It's nice to see someone eat their crow so gracefully. And nice to see how far the perception of Nintendo and Switch have come this past year.

It's essentially an arcade style golf game with a light RPG/quest wrapper and a charming presentation (sort of half Aussie snark and half Charles Schultz Peanuts). You don't have to like golf but if you don't enjoy video golf in the Hot Shots vein maybe give it a pass.
Thanks, was concerned because of the series' history with the 3ds & wii u.

I just want to throw out my dream port. If a "Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together" came out for switch then i'll be able to peacefully retire my vita.
So what do you OCD people like me do to protect the back of your Switch? Just sent my whole system which I had since launch to Nintendo, including my 2nd bent dock which they already replaced but still left 2 huge marks on the backplate. The Nyko slim case seems to be the only one you can use while docked, but even then it got pretty mixed reviews.
Also sent both my grey joy-cons, the finish was deteriorating way too quickly. Wasn't using them that much either since I mainly game with my Pro controller. Ordered some cheap clear protective joy-con plastic cases on eBay. Will get the PDP silicone gels if those don't work out.

Most of all it depends on how many games you plan on buying, I suppose. I hit the limit of my internal + 64GB combo with about 70 games - including none of the excessively huge titles that are available physically (ie; when available for big games, I went physical). You could probably get away with more if they were all very tiny, but a few of mine were between 4 and 9GB.
IMO, 128GB is a good sweet spot for beginners and those planning for long term - based on price and the jump in it when talking about bigger cards. 128GB can be had for cheap often, and goes a long way - though isn't entirely future proof for heavy gamers.
Read through the entire OT in the past week or two and I'm proud to be a new switch owner after trading in my old PS4 (still have a pro, I'm not crazy.)
I also got Mario Odyssey and a carrying case (the matching Odyssey one) but that's all I can afford at the moment. Over time I'll probably amass quite a library on this thing like my Vita and ps4 though.
My only question is if anyone has bought this charging bank? I've never heard of the name before I just think it looks like it would fit in my carry case well.

No solution seems to that great for me don't like the feel of grip cases, gonna buy another back plate and just replace it once it annoys me enough.
Something's odd with my Switch. Whenever I put it to sleep undocked, it instantly disconnects from wifi. I press the power button to put it to sleep then immediately wake it up again just to see an empty wifi icon. This is a bit annoying because I can't download from sleep mode. I'm almost certain I've downloaded stuff before this way, but I can't find anything in the settings.
Edit: Tried plugging it in. Same thing.
