I only tested Galaxy and it seems the same to me. No real changes I could pick up.

I managed to make it work by switching other cables around but this is the honest truth. It needed another foot to be of adequate length.

Will the 8-Bit do ultimate controller work with the Switch 2 since it works on the Switch 1 in Bluetooth mode?

has anyone been able to get the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller to work with the Switch 2? it acts like it's paired but the Switch 2 doesn't recognize it (can't get it to work either using Bluetooth or the 2.4Ghz dongle)

Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered is FIXED!!!. At least FF3 is for me. You all might think I'm nuts but when I accessed the magic menu in FF3 on Switch it would cause a weird menu lag that ate my inputs. I just tested this out on Switch 2 and the game is not doing the laggy crap when I access the magic menu. I confirmed it still does this on Switch but Switch 2 its like butter now. My $80 dollar purchase is finally redeemed and I'll finally get to play FF3!

I asked the lady that brought me mine if I was suppose to get the bag with chips. LOL, she said I'm just bringing everything that they told me to bring for this order. This was a really cool experience but man was it stressful up until launch day.Walmart sent some Pringles and a Coke in each bag.

This determines whether I think about buying the system or not, not buying a new controller for couch co-op Mario Kart.

What time is it?
Everyone should buy this gem, especially at that price. It runs amazing on Switch 2.
One of the few boomer shooters that I really like. Too bad the bosses are subpar.

Yep, just walked into a random Target and bought one EZ PZ. No line.

I went to the midnight launch last night with a buddy and got home around like 1-130 and got everything set up and downloading some games. This thing feels REALLY good. The size is much better than before without being bulky like the Steam Deck. Feels really premium and looks it as well. I like the understated look unlike something gaudy like the ROG Ally.
This morning I happened to go to target to see if they had any pro controllers and they did so I grabbed one and holy shit these sticks feel great. These are by far the best feeling sticks I've used. I love how easy and intuitive it is to remap the paddles as well.
I'm restarted BOTW and this looks and feels so good.
Very satisfied so far.

Trying a LOT of 3rd party ports.
- Witcher 3 runs and looks remarkably well on handheld with the right options on and off. (No blur, no anti aliasing, everything to high and sharpening to off or the first option.) 30fps but stable and fine for the handheld experience.
- LA Noire runs stable now, but for some reason this game looks bad in motion with the 30fps.
- Firewatch has an absolutely horrible framerate and performance. Maybe even worse than before. Not sure what to think here, but it's shit on other platforms as well.
- Ethan Carter runs 60fps with max FOV handheld and performance. A real looker.
- Alien Isolation runs the same and still has horrible input lag due to double buffered v-sync.
- load times are a bit quicker but nothing to write home about. Witcher 3 still takes a long time.
- 30fps is just about acceptable on this screen but the extra power should be used to make most games 60.

apparently even the Ultimate 2 doesn't work, hopefully 8bitdo gets a patch out ASAP if it's something they can fix

It's shorter than the switch 1 cable. I'm now using the Switch 2 HDMI for my soundbar and the Ugreen HDMI from my soundbar for the Switch 2 lol

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Loading it up now, I'll let you know
EDIT: the update is taking FOREVER to download, Nintendo's servers must be melting

Got two switches this morning (1 for me 1 for wife. Separate stores) no issue, just like the switch 1 launch.
Feels premium. Hard to describe, but holding both systems in hand. Both joycons, both pro controllers, the difference is actually pretty large.
Downloaded everything after the system transfer, which went pretty damn fast, surprising me. The eshop is completely different animal. Not only is it instant, but no lag/chug at all, and videos play, with sound when you just go over them, no hitch. Remarkable. Downloaded the Zelda updates, and it feels like a new game. Shocking actually. I may have to replay both games.
Side note-I was checking out all the menus, both on the system, and in the eshop. I clicked on the voucher tab, and the system froze. Had to take it out of the dock, and hold the power button for 20 seconds before I rebooted it. Don't know if its a bug, but I couldn't do anything, and there was a loading circle in the lower left hand corner, and the only button that worked on the pro controller was the B, but it just made a noise.
Other then that, smooth sailing. Oh, and I got bigger hands, and the new larger joycons, and especially the buttons on the inside, are so much better. It doesn't seem that much bigger in the pictures, but when holding them, its a huge upgrade for those of us with paws.

In line at Staples now and am hoping this isn't some horrible trick and they only have 2 on hand: otherwise my odds are pretty good since there are only 5 people in line including myself compared to Target practically next door with closer to 100.

same, I ended up running out to Target and getting the new Pro controller (I had gift cards so it was <$5 out of pocket)

So about the 4k and 120hz conflict, if I have 120hz mode activated that means the console automatically inputs at 1080 or 1440p?
Should I just turn it off to have 4k?
Love the console for now. Played Bravely Default for 2 hours and the remaster is AMAZING! I never played it before and I adored BD2 so I am really hyped. The game looks and runs like a dream.
Also tried a bit of Mario Kart and the game seems pretty fun so far.

From what I've heard and seen, at least Age of Calamity and Bayonetta 3 seem to run better, but my console only arrives tomorrow so I can't check.

Just walked into Best Buy in NW suburbs of Chicago when the store opened to buy an MicroSD Express card and a couple of games to get $20 rewards. They still had Switch 2s for sale. This release has been plentiful.

Switch 2 literally doubling the performance of the late Arkham Knight port to Switch 1.

Won't be playing this game but that's very encouraging to see I'd personally love to see a boost on a bunch of games that aren't getting patches like Dragon Quest XI.Switch 2 literally doubling the performance of the late Arkham Knight port to Switch 1.

Not picking up a whole console for just one game, but this bodes pretty well for the Switch version of Deadly Premonition. It's the only console version that runs with an unlocked frame rate.
NS2 should make it stick to the 60fps ceiling in the open world areas, where it often runs in the teens on NS1.

Is there a way to make the icons smaller on the homescreen so we can have more than one row like it was on the Wii and WiiU?
