Other than 1 2 Switch, what's the best game to make use of HD Rumble so far?

I wouldn't say either is particularly impressive wrt HD Rumble implementation, but Blaster Master and Fast RMX both have unique rumble patterns in some instances.
You dont know what youre talking about... just enjoy your gray one.

Man, going from Zelda on the Switch to Zelda on the Wii U was great, in terms of controls. The buttons feel better and are bigger, I love the Wii U stick locations as well.
I'm not hating on the Switch, as I love it. I just think that I will need a pro controller for those better buttons and form factor for my hands. I find my right hand cramps while playing the switch. The same way it does for the 3DS and Vita.
Man, I can't wait for more games on the Switch, so I can justify to my wife that I buy my own and stop mooching off my daughters switch. Hence why I purchased Zelda for the Wii U.

Did you try using the Pro Controller? I literally just tried playing with the Joy-Cons yesterday, and I'm around 22 hours in.
How does having multiple accounts work with regards to account interation? I have a separate profile for my friends to play on, but I can't see a play history on the secondary profile. I try to link it to an account, but it gives a warning/error about an account already being on the system.
That's really lame. I have the system for one week and I have almost 300 screenhots already!
You can store 1,000 on the system memory, 10,000 on an SD card.
The intent is for you to upload and share those screenshots.
oh,i just saw the other words,10000 on mSD card,WTF?

I bought Fast RMX. Gonna try this out now.
I don't want to do that and compress those screenshots even further.
I thought that I had to manually move my screenshots one by one from the internal memory to my SD, but looking at my Switch the new screeshots that I took after inserting a SD are already on it, so I only have to move the screenshots that I took on the first couple of days I had the system.
That's good enough for me.

So I played the first cup in Fast RMX. Uh...I really didn't notice HD Rumble. Genuinely couldn't tell the difference between that and regular rumble.

Remind me, how does applying a screen protector in a steamy bathroom help again?

Yeah, everything I've tested so far just feels like regular rumble. Maybe because I'm use to the haptic feedback on my Steam Controller? It's nice rumble, but nothing to write home about.

the steam weighs down the dust particles
If you do it correctly, the steam disperses water up into the air which "grabs" dust particles, and as the steam settles it brings the dust particles down to the ground. It works, but you have to do it properly, i.e. let the bathroom get fully steamed up, then wait until the steam is fully settled. Also, make sure any AC vents and door(s) are CLOSED (you also don't want any significant air flow into or out of the bathroom that might spread particles around), and thoroughly wipe your working surface before applying the protector. Wearing a dust mask and head covering is also recommended to minimize particles or hair/skin falling around the Switch during installation of the protector.
Yeah, HD rumble has been a yawn. It's still the first time we've had real rumble on a mainstream portable system so it's still cool. But the only games I have so far are BOTW, Fast RMX and Shovel Knight. Maybe some other games will use it better and I'll appreciate it more.

It's sexier.
Laptop allows me to do work, watch movies and browse the internet.
The switch allows me to play games. I don't mind carrying my switch around, but I can see why others might not want to.

Thing I have noticed with my joycons, the left trigger has less travel then the right, they both click and work fine but they both also feel like they use completely different springs and locks, in fact it feels like the left trigger is slightly stuck.
For such an expensive pad I expect better from these things when they get built.
don't think sauna steamy just a room which has damp air, it's to prevent dust particles in the air getting in the way because the moisture will stop dust.

Amateurs. Part of their foreheads still showing. Tsk, tsk.
I've come to the conclusion that "HD Rumble" is just like "HD Toothpaste."
All marketing.

Yeah, I'm not impressed by it at all. Still love my switch otherwise.

I was actually more impressed with Soda Shake. I hope this tech is used in Splatoon to help gauge how much ink you have left.

Yeah, HD rumble hasn't impressed me either. Only Blaster Master uses it of the games I've played though.
I have a feeling it will just be good for single/seperate joycon games, like 1 2 Switch and things like ball count as mentioned above. Those type of things are generally not my cup of tea though, so it will be a useless feature for me.
No biggie, other than driving up costs a tad I guess. But I've already paid for the console and a pro pad so no sense worrying about that now. I've never been a huge rumble fan in general anyway.

those games dont use HD rumble...
I find the joycons just as comfortable as the pro controller, but the sticks are definitely worse. I tried playing Zelda with gyro aiming off because either found it unnecessary with the pro controller, but I had to turn it back on for playing in handheld mode.
I actually like the buttons on the joycon better. They're smaller and closer together. The pro controller buttons feel way too spaced out, but maybe that's just cause I'm used to the joycon now.

It ain't great in FAST. There's a few bits(like the twisters) but it's pretty bog standard. Blaster Master Zero has a really weird, good bit of HD Rumble in its intro.
Anyone have experience with HDMI extractor's? I want to get an optical audio input to my wireless transmitter (Astro A50).

I'm pretty excited to see what Splatoon 2 does with HD rumble since there's some obvious uses for it there. Hopefully they put the tech to good use.
I haven't used the screenshot much yet. I've only used it for some Zelda recipes. 
What sites are supported?

Twitter and Facebook I believe. Meh. I hate using FB for anything, and I don't use Twitter.
I wish it would include imgur.

I wish they would include Instagram!
Pro tip: You can connect your Switch with facebook and make it share to an album only you can view. Then you can just save the pics to your phone to use as you wish and it also stores them all in one place online (the FB album).
Thanks. imgur would be great. Hope they add that one.
What are gaf members doing to upload it to the gaf screenshot thread? are they simply taking the card out and plugging it to the pc?
Here's what I have coming in the post tomorrow: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IVMXW7G/?tag=neogaf0e-20
First time using the joycons with steps to play snipperclips with my kids. First, snipperclips is a lot of fun. Second, the straps are a royal PITA. Even with the lock carefully unlocked, they're still stiff to remove. I ended up jamming the metal rail under one fingernail as I was trying to dislodge one strap, and scrapping my finger as the other one came off suddenly.
The combination of metal underneath and little area to grip onto is a recipe for disaster. i think if I'm just playing snipperclips I'll try with naked joycons

They become significantly easier to remove after a couple of times.

Playing with single joycons on their side is soooo uncomfortable. A far cry from the wiimote. With the wiimote nunchuk setup for joycons I think they're great. But individually on their side? Ugh. Do not want to play a game like this ever. And for the record I loved playing the wiimote like this. Joycons are just too small foe this setup. Not comfortable at all.
I love Wiimotes. I keep hoping Nintendo decides to add support for them into Switch firmware. Doubtful it will happen, but it would be nice.
As for Joycons, they're OK. Perfectly serviceable in handheld mode. Pretty comfy in split mode actually. But in NES pad style mode, they're not the best.

wiimotes use bluetooth, right?
it's probably possible
