Any mentions of fan noise while playing in handheld mode?

Holy smokes they tried magnets during development to keep the joy cons connected to the Switch!
Dude practically live tweeted USF2's changelog from what he noticed so much he played.
Saying he liked and played is an understatement xD
Wait for the nindies direct on 28
wahh?
i thought the docked mode increases clock speeds and thus framerate?
dont tell me the upclock cant compensate for the paltry resolution increase from 720p to 900p??
Seems to be the case of Zelda alone. Probably didn't help that the game was basically ported from Wii U instead of developing from the start.

Do we know how long the HDMI and AC cables are guys? Planning my setup rn.

5 feet each, is what I believe I heard from a podcast.

It's possible that for botw, there was no clockspeed differences going from handheld to docked mode..Its like Nintendo rushed it to sell the switch, as well as maybe not alienating wii u owners.

Well, shit. That's pretty short if I wanna put it on a single shelf on the wall while plugged into everything.
Nintendoooo >_<
edit, oh, AC is also USB. Shouldn't be too much of an issue to get longer cables then.

Oh wait, my mistake. Apparently the product filing puts it at just under 6 feet.

Ah! That's a bit better lol. Thank you!
It works fine for other games. Supposedly BotW has more graphic improvements while docked (like a larger view distance and some improved effects) which are the cause of the problems.
No. It's a full cut from the wii branding
Figured as much. Ah well! I'll just see how I get on with the Joy Cons for the time being!
well watching the docked/undocked comparison from gamexplain, those differences are minimal and yet the slowdown is tangible.
Gamestar.de said it is "almost silent".

Might have been asked and answered already but here goes..
Does the Switch, when docked, have to be visible for the joycons to work. I know Gamexplain and others had issues with the left one desyncing.
My problem is that my TV takes pretty much the entire width of the table and if I put the Switch in front of it, it will block a portion of the TV as the TV stand is very low. There are no places to put it anywhere else but on the subwoofer next to the table. Not sure that's wise.
So my possible solution is having the dock behind the TV near one of its side... but would that cause interference with the joycons?

Any word on the speaker quality? Is it louder/better than how it was on the 3DS (which IMO was absolutely awful)

Yeah, Justin is close to my age. It's hard to imagine him not being into a new version of SFII. I think younger players underestimate how much love and nostalgia is potentially out there for a new version of SFII.

I haven't heard anything else about that either. If it exists, it could be part of a day one patch.
Also, anyone want to see a stupid video of a guy constantly pushing over a Switch on purpose?

This is one of the most embarrassing, terrible videos I've ever seen.

Wait, still the same shitty Mii customisation options from 2005? Fuck you Nintendo.

Not sure where to ask this...
If I buy eShop cards to buy Zelda digitally on Switch right now I'll be able to use them right?

they're ergonomically identical, the weight difference is miniscule - (9 grams = 0.3 ounces)
the charging grip is transparent black.

It isn't exactly the same. For example you have more hair color options, like in Tomodachi Life.
It's not that big a deal anyway, Miis for the most part have been shoved into the sidelines with the Switch.

No they are improved. And why so angry over Mio's? What changes weee you hoping for and still call them Mio's? It's like you are purposely looking for something to be outraged about?
Thanks, I wondered if they may have changed it a bit to justify not including it with the console but I guess not

I play my PS4 on a computer monitor. I plug my headphones into my controller with the regular headphone jack.
I can't do that with the Switch right? Can't plug my headphones directly into the joycons or the joycon adapter. Can I buy a wireless headphone I can plug into the dock or something?

You can do aux bluetooth adapter + wireless headphones, or just plug them in to the Switch.
