Yeah it's great, everyone seems to love it and I'm having a blast playing it with my boyfriend too!
You could try, but no way. I mean this without any intended hyperbole -- BOTW is the best game I've played possibly ever. And the Switch version is the best version. So for me at least, the Switch easily beats WiiU launch.
Plus, I subscribe to the soft launch theory. We're all beta testers right now. The real launch is holiday season 2017. And by then the Switch library should be very strong, both in terms of what's available and what gets announced.
Get back in there! Plus we have DLC coming.
I'm around 60 hours and am my taking my time and soaking up all the richness of Hyrule, so I would not be surprised if I go 150 hours or more before beating Ganon.
Yep! It's just great fun. I play it with my girlfriend and she basically never plays games otherwise.
Btw, whatever happened to that Mario vs Rabbids rpg? Why is it so quiet on Ubi front?
I believe they have a survey setup for Switch users to help give them ideas about gaming on the Switch or something like that. I haven't taken it personally yet.

Sadly that's not related to HDMI-CEC.
But "Mirror TV Power State", or something, is the HDMI-CEC setting.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Not sure. The statues were clearly in that Ubisoft video.
That said, wasn't that an LKD rumor first? LKD ended up with a horrible track record.

Finally got mine today from a fellow gaffer. Really slick so far. Feels really good and the portable/home console doesn't feel like a gimmick at all. Super seamless and totally viable both ways. The kickstand is awful, but that was the feature I didn't really care about anyway.
My left joycon seems fine, but I wasn't terribly far from my TV, and nothing was obstructing the console. My dock might be a tiny bit bent, not sure what it's supposed to look like but it's definitely not a perfect 90 degree angle. But it seems to be sliding in and out fine so far.
Started Zelda and it seems fanatstic so far. The grip was not to my liking at all. But I didn't mind playing with a joy con in each hand. Still, it's not perfect and a pro controller seems mighty tempting. I wonder if Gamestop would give me $150 for my 3ds towards Switch accessories instead of a Switch. I'd love to deck it out.
I put it in handheld mode to go upstairs and when I came back I never put it back in the dock. Handheld mode is great!
Very happy so far.

Are you docking it while the system is on? If so put it to sleep first. Otherwise it's going to be running even if the TV is turned off.

Nintendo land is one of my favorite games ever, but I had more fun with 12S as its easy to get my casual family and friends playing, I have friends that didn't own a console since the NES and they want to get a Switch.
Does anyone have an answer to this? I still can't figure it out!

My dock doesn't power on anymore. No green light, no charge. Any tip?
Well false alarm. My plug adapter didn't like Switch plug.Everything is ok now.

Problem with NSMB for launch was that it wasn't exciting, especially because the 3DS had one a couple of months before.
Looking back, Mario Maker should have been the launch game for Wii U.

A few days before the Switch Conference, she amended that rumor by saying it was pushed back to September.
It's still coming and planned for later this yr.

I managed to get myself a Switch. Why is it so damn hard to remove these joycon straps?
Aren't the blue ones for games on cart not in the system?
My Blaster Master 0 is blue so I guess not.

I got my Switch this past Saturday...been playing Zelda since then...I have only used it in handheld mode (waiting for my screen protector to come before I do).
As far as I can tell, with everything at it's max (volume & brightness) I get around 2 hours 45 minutes of playtime before it shuts down...that's pretty much expected right?

Got a Japanese account for demos and what not but now my news feed is plastered with news from Japan. How do I get rid of it? I couldn't find a setting and I'm afraid there isn't a way to do it without getting rid of the account. 😑
Edit: First result in Google, grap3. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSw...o_remove_japanese_news_from_your_switch_feed/
Ugh... Seems like a process though and I'm afraid of botching it and losing my Zelda save.

It's one of those games which takes what it has and dials it down until it works instead of fully being built around the spec.

No idea, I was worried I broke them the first time cause they attached so damn strong but managed to get them off and I'm not putting 'em on ever again. Made sure they were the right way too, still really hard to remove.
Crimsonclaw111

Yeah I doubt I'll ever attach them again. I have these grip covers that make it literally impossible to remove.
Oh well.

C- C- Combo Breaker!
Getting hyped for E3 this year, now that all platforms are available to me it's going to be fun to see what Nintendo has in store too.
I don't hate NSMBU but no way man. Not by a long shot.

No there isn't more software on Switch Vs Wii U at launch. Wii U had 23 titles on launch day, and the majority were pretty solid 3rd party games. Wii U didn't really have a AAA game like Zelda at launch though.. Just a new super mario bros rehash game and nintendoland. So outside of Zelda, Wii U's launch blew Switch's out of the park. Though to be somewhat fair, who knows what Nintendo would have had if it released during the holidays in terms of 3rd party support. They're definitely not going to release more than one AAA 1st party game though at launch though, as they never do.
FWIW, I also consider it the best of the series.

What's the difference between Treasure Trove and Spectral Knight? I've never played Shovel Knight, not sure which version to get
SinCityAssassin
Member
oh hey you're back.
Zelda alone is several times better than the entire Wii U launch window lineup, and based on sales so far, clearly most people agree. Fast RMX and Snipperclips are also decent supplementary games.
The problem with the Wii U is that people were clearly fatigued by the NSMB games at that point. They certainly weren't system sellers.

Treasure Trove is all 3 current campaigns (and a 4th unreleased campaign) for $25 while Specter of Torment is just Specter Knight's campaign for $10.

Gotcha, thanks man
Discovered a weird limitation today.
I was playing Zelda on the couch handheld but fancied using the right joy con detached for the better gyro aiming feel, while keeping the left still attached to get a good grip on the system as it rested on my stomach but.. you can't actually play like that. The system won't let you. Basically it seems that if you detach one Joycon they want you to detach the other one. Kinda disappointed cos it felt like it would have worked nicely for me!

if it helps, you DONT have to press the release buttons on the back of the joycons to remove the strap (the ones you press to remove them from the console).you only have to make sure the little white lock/unlock "lever" is unlocked - then just slide them off.
i found trying get my hands to press the release button on the back made it more difficult to pull them off. but knowing i didn't need to do that made it a bit easier. it still won't easily slide right off, but it should help.

WOW. So one of my left joycons totally has that problem that Giant Bomb was experiencing with it popping off with minimal force. Here's what happened:
My Switch was on the table IN the RDS Case, completely zipped up. Stupid cats knocked it onto the floor. Open up the case and the left joycon is dislodged. Click it back in and immediately notice the click sounds way softer. Like half as loud as the right one's click. I inspect and sure enough there is damage to the locking mechanism when compared to the right joycon. I can clearly see where it looks like some of the locking mech has been kinda "chipped" off.
What blows my mind is that this was from a fall IN A CASE. In the RDS case no less. And the fall was maybe 2-3 feet. Unbelievable.

Indeed I am. Hi.
Does anyone else get funny noises plugging the switch into an external speaker? I've got 2 speakers that plug in via the headphone jack, and both of them overlay this DRDRDRDRDR sound on top of the audio. The speakers work fine with my computer, and my headphones also work fine with the switch.

That actually might help a lot and I wish it was communicated better in the packaging. Thanks.

Damage report!
My switch was in the hori case and I dropped it from about waist height. I took it out and gave it a look over and everything was fine. System on and off. Joycons detach, reattach. No white spots or distortion on joycon rails.
But the L button: The "L1" button is damaged. The button moves freely but there is no spring action or click. No response in-game. Feels a little soft at the bottom. If I had the little tri tip bit I would open it.
If I opened it, there would be something wrong with the metal coil spring or the perch it sits on. Something damaged.
I'll call nintendo tomorrow and see if I can send it in for a fix. And maybe to the antenna fix thing, too.
Oh and I guess I'll get a set of neon joycons tomorrow.

well i guess we both had some bad luck with our Switch dropping IN A CASE today. I can't believe the joycons are so fragile that they got messed up in a case for both of us.

I've gotta say, the lack of a real d-pad in the joycon is bumming me out. This device would be the ultimate portable indie machine with a real d-pad. The Pro controller is great, but doesn't help when I'm playing in bed.
I just had a real bad time in some Shovel Knight levels. 😔
