I've never gotten to a point it needed to be charged, but I'm not a good reference since I plug it in after two or three days so it doesn't die on me.

I don't remember the source, I think it's one of those guys from the hacking community trying to break the security, but seemingly the whole OS is completely different, not a fork or the same with modifications, it's entirely different from the one in Switch 1 built from the ground up and they just decided to use a very similar UI/UX.
I think it makes sense, if the BC had to be done using a translation layer, it definitely couldn't "just run" anything from Switch 1 and the OS is something you have to rewrite for each new device to do proper optimizations afaik.

Overall, really happy with my Switch 2. What's impressed me most is the secret boost to many older Switch 1 games. A ton of games that had framerate issues are now locked at at least 30 FPS and loading is vastly improved. I honestly thought it would be the exception, not the rule, that a Switch 1 game would play better on Switch 2.

What time is it?
It's a comfortable controller and NSO has a GameCube offering. The controller can be used in most games but it does lack some features (missing buttons: -, L3, R3). It's the controller I've spent the most time with on the Switch 2 though I don't own a S2 Pro Controller.

Yeah. Personally, I loved it. I had the black GameCube though, so the stock indigo one does nothing for me.
I think what I miss are the hexagon outline around the control sticks. They made going in particular directions flawless.

Playing games with original controllers is a great experience. It's impossible to play some gc games like f zero well without the analog buttons.

l ordered the GameCube one given it has the new C button. I prefer playing games on original hardware, although I'm on the fence about the n64 and snes ones
I just see myself playing GameCube the most, hoping they add some good titles
At a minimum I know I'll play Wind Waker
They're great as additional controllers if you have friends over. I have so many Nintendo controllers between switch 1 and 2. Now I just need friends

The N64 controller is awesome. The rumble really feels like a rumble pak is plugged in.

The Battery Charge Indicator or Percentage Displays Incorrectly on Nintendo Switch 2 | Nintendo Support
Steps for when the battery amount displayed and the actual remaining battery use don't match. For example, you are able to continue using your Nintendo Switch 2 console for a few hours even though the battery charge indicator displays the battery is almost depleted.en-americas-support.nintendo.com
Just wanna say thank you and for anyone else who has a battery drain issue, this fix works!

Replying to myself here lol to confirm that indeed fixed my issue. Switch 2 doesnt play nice with HDMI-CEC at the moment. Should be fixable with a system update id hope!

After a few hours in docked mode with the SW2 Pro controller, it's gonna be hard to go back to portable.
My Savage Raven grip finally shipped. Hope it's here tomorrow.

That's the hope. This is also my first controller that has grip buttons. Game changer these buttons.

It's funny- the OLED TV I bought seems like it was built with the Switch 2 in mind: 4K, 120fps, HDR10, VRR, 4 HDMI 2.1 ports. It's like I'm getting a Switch 2, except 48" on my wall.

Tears of the Kingdom at 4k is fucking amazing.
Portable looks good at 1080p, but I don't think it's 100% native 1080p. Sometimes the image is sharper than other times. However, docked, it always looks great.
Art style > realism
Nintendo really are the best video game makers.

With Tears of the Kingdom, I like having the grips being:
GL = B
GL = X
That way I can run and jump/glide with my thumbs still on the sticks.

Has anyone tried Tormented Souls? It's on sale for $1.99 and looks like a decent survival horror title.

thx for the heads up managed to grab one, realized I didn't have an online sub so they nailed me on that too the bastards.

I have. It's really an old-school survival horror, with scarce saves and everything. It's definitely worth 2 bucks.

Hello and thank you for any help you can offer. I have some basic questions about the Switch 2.
- What is considered the best screen protector available?
- Which memory card is the best?
- Is there an official list from Nintendo of all the games that are enhanced on Switch 2?
- Of the enhanced games, which ones (in your opinion) are enhanced the most?
- Is the Pro 2 controller necessary or worth the upgrade if I already have a Pro Controller from Switch1?

Man.
I'm such a sucker. I just purchased the official GameCube controller from Nintendo.

Nah.....I didn't buy the DLC. Beat all the shrines and divine beasts in the base game. And beat Ganon as well.

1) Don't overspend on tempered glass screen protectors, the higher priced ones are a scam, just grab a 3pack one with an alignment tool, Amfilm, Jsaux etc are good brands and cost about 8-10 Eurodollars on Amazon.
2) There's no "best" at the moment, SanDisk, Samsung are all good but...there's a shortage for the time being when it comes to bigger than 256GB ones.In the US of A there's a 512GB one sold by Walmart ? Best buy ? that goes for little bit more than the official 256GB ones.
3) There is, just Google it.
Some are paid upgrades (Zelda BOTW/TOTK go for 10 Eurodollars each) while the ones for Mario party jamboree and Kirby go for 20 since they also come with DLC.
Many others are free (Mario Odyssey/Mario 3d world/Top down Zelda remakes etc), why ? Only Nintendo knows...
4) Zelda BOTW/TOTK, Mario Odyssey and Mario 3D world are all good.
Zelda top down/isometric games are also good but more importantly, run much better compared to the S1.
5) People will tell you yes, but, IMO, I wouldn't bother if I already had the Pro1, it's 90 Eurodollars, better to spend that money elsewhere , besides, not being able to wake the console with it isn't that big of a deal to me.
Personally, I went for the 8bit do ultimate C2 for...27 Eurodollars and I couldn't be happier, then again, I just needed a joypad as to not have to detach the joycons from the console all the time.

I've owned every Nintendo gaming platform ever released in NA. I've spent more money on Nintendo games than games on other platforms combined, most likely. My brother has always called me a closet Nintendo fanboy. I just don't talk much about it.

I've never been a handheld gamer. Loathed it at times, actually. But this nice big screen is making me interested in taking the handheld aspect for a spin. I've heard mixed feelings on the battery time in handheld, but I don't intend to play it for long periods that way.

I just bought the Savage Raven in hopes it makes handheld play more comfortable. Even with the Switch 2 joycons being a bit larger my hands are too big to hold this comfortably for more than 20 minutes or so. Would be interested in hearing your opinion of it after you try it.

I've used my switch 2 in 2 weeks more than my entire switch 1 lifetime lol.
Completed Xenoblade chronicles 1, working on Xeno 2, completed Metroid dread, working on dungeon 3 of Zelda totk, working on super Metroid and Metroid prime…. And then playing co op fun with my son on Mario Kart world, super Mario wonder, and tropical freeze.
This thing fuuuuucks.

most of these titles aren't even enhanced much (or at all) compared to playing them on the original switch. so why the sudden surge of switch playin?
You've been missing out this whole time dude lol

Switch 1 went to my daughter. Switch lite to my wife. I hated playing on either because of how uncomfortable joy cons are. Never got to hook it up to a TV.
This one I told my son it is not to be played portable and it's hooked up to a TV in my bedroom.
On my switch 1 I played those games but put them all down fast. In fact the only game I completed for switch 1 was breath of the wild and I did that on my pc lol…
Having its own dedicated space and being my device helps. Also the gaming lul this summer is perfect timing to work on back logs which my Nintendo one is big.

Even though the Switch 2 is just a beefier Switch, I guess that's all I wanted out of the next Nintendo platform. I've played so much of my Switch 2 in the last couple of weeks. It's insane.

It doesn't feel like a Switch to me. I spent 8 years playing 3rd party games on the Switch, and Cyberpunk doesn't look like a super vaseline version of a game with framerate issue when you turn the camera.

The handgrips are solid but the rest of the case is squidgy.
They are also completely detachable obviously, which makes the joycons a decent alternative in docked mode.

I've had it since the day after the SW2 came out. It is a gamechanger for handheld. Until Mobapad brings out Switch 2 Joycon replacements, I'll use this.

I know I'm going to break down and get the dbrand grip. Everything I've read about it is favorable aside from maybe an issue with the Joy cons sticking to the system, but that can be remedy pretty easily. It's my only gripe with the system. I have big hands and playing is manageable, but not exactly comfortable for meI'm not the biggest Dbrand fan but the quality of their case is excellent.
