Loading the castle doesn't happen like that on PC and PS5/XSX/S. You get a slight pause of a second or two and then the door swings right open. You can stand in the doorway and walk back and forth. This is an actual loading screen that pops up for 19 seconds, with inside and outside being completely separate.
Dualsense is bluetooth as well afaik.
I'm not really well versed in these topics, but Digital Foundry seemed a bit disappointed that Nintendo went with 8nm. I wonder if they could go 6nm in combination with a slightly bigger battery in an updated model if the battery time in this original becomes too big of a negative. Otherwise I might wait for the OLED model instead.
Just finished several matches yesterday. It works just fine and looks gorgeous on the 7.9in screen
Would not be surprised if they follow the Switch pattern in this case.
Agreed, I think TOTK could have been positioned as 'THE' launch title the same way BOTW was 8 years ago. Maybe a cross-gen SW1/2 release, but I wonder if they would have sold less overall that way( not something I care about, but definitely Nintendo would have likely discussed).
Steam Deck loading (well door pausing) is a few seconds as well. The Switch 2 version is simply underwhelming.
Oh really? Cool, not sure what that person was talking about then. Any performance differences from Switch 1( assuming you've played it on that previously)?Just finished several matches yesterday. It works just fine and looks gorgeous on the 7.9in screen
It looks a lot better than the Switch version for sure, especially the first three levels which were rough as hell.Bayonetta 3 at a locked 60fps
Cannot fucking wait to play that
When I pulled mine out of the dock while downloading a bunch of games, it was ridiculously hot. I was shocked really. I thought the dock was supposed to provide extra cooling but, I'm not sure how well that's working.
I've played mostly handheld and it's been fine, it's like the fan in the system didn't run while docked. It turned back on just fine but listening to the fan closely in the system it sounds funny, a clicking and always modulating the speed.
Is there a setting to turn if off for handheld mode but keep it in Docked mode?
Nice mini review. The dock is very similar to the original which was upgraded with the OLED model to a more premium version. Guessing the fact they have had to include a fan in the dock this time round it was all down to price. But it's still what it is a functional docking station. Mine is behind my TV so no big deal.
iFixIt posits that maybe the materials used might be more resilient. Still, for the price increase of the controller we need to demand better… Nintendo is tempting more lawsuits and regulators' intervention like this…
You answered yourself. HDR thing (aka you are better off turning it off…), motion clarity, contrast/raised black levels.
It is not what you own but the "eh I paid for something that does not work as advertised and
" or maybe well… it is 
.Mmh, MKW fine it is kind of designed around LCDs, but Metroid Dread and other games which actually make use of deep blacks of OLED screens… yeah, not sure if you are serious there
.
Dumb... Do you know if any of the current 8bitdo controllers wake it?
They do not, you would always wake it with the joycons I guess.
Sounds like you got a lemon. Get a replacement asap.
Plus the screen protection issue (people not realizing you shouldn't remove the clear screen film) and poor packaging with some screens getting staple damage .... I might return my unit and wait for the OLED.
