Looks like the GameCube controller is back in stock.
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.It feels heavier though. I think it's a great improvement over an already amazing controller.
Is the battery life still insane?
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.Considering the SoC was ready for years and most of the OS is reused from Switch 1… how is this happening? :/… There should have been ample time to figure this out, right?

They find it to have a good ergonomics. I wonder how oddly shaped their hands must beWhy do people want those? Nostalgia?
Why do people want those? Nostalgia?
Yeah. Personally, I loved it. I had the black GameCube though, so the stock indigo one does nothing for me.Why do people want those? Nostalgia?
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.Why do people want those? Nostalgia?
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 onesWhy do people want those? Nostalgia?
The N64 controller is awesome. The rumble really feels like a rumble pak is plugged in.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 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
So i checked out those links you provided up there about it being a known issue and i THINK i fixed mine. Now with mine (Bravia OLED), the issue was that when i turned on the Switch 2 when it's docked, it would come on fine on the tv but every single time, after 30-45 seconds or so, i would lose my video for 3 seconds or so and then it would come back, and it wouldnt happen again. So it was only when i first turned it on.
I saw that people were solving their drops by turning OFF "Match TV Power State" in the Switch 2 settings. I went and did that on my Switch 2, put the system to sleep, and powered off my tv. Turned my tv back on, powered on the Switch 2 in docked mode and it went on and the issue did NOT occur this time! I'm going to see how it is later today, and if it still doesn't happen again, i'll consider it solved for my situation. It seems that perhaps Switch 2 doesn't play nice at the moment with HDMI-CEC.
The OS in general has alot of bugs they need to fix.
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.Mine makes the transition much easier.
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.After a few hours in docked mode with the SW2 Pro controller, it's gonna be hard to go back to portable.

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.Looks like the GameCube controller is back in stock.
I have. It's really an old-school survival horror, with scarce saves and everything. It's definitely worth 2 bucks.Has anyone tried Tormented Souls? It's on sale for $1.99 and looks like a decent survival horror title.
Does that include the DLC shrines and Divine Beasts?Completed all the shrines in Botw. One more divine beast and then on to Ganon

Hello and thank you for any help you can offer. I have some basic questions about the Switch 2.
I think that's it for now lol. Thank you again for any help!
- 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?
So I just got the Switch 2 Pro Controller. It feels really good. The two grip buttons are a very welcomed addition.
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 feel some kind of way now that you (of all people) got the Pro Controller before me...

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.After a few hours in docked mode with the SW2 Pro controller, it's gonna be hard to go back to portable.

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.
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.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

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.
Meanwhile I've barely touched it. Mario Kart is way too expensive and am still waiting for DKB.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.Even though the Switch 2 is just a beefier Switch, I guess that's all I wanted out of the next Nintendo platform.

Is it soft or hard (with a soft coat on it) ?I'm not the biggest Dbrand fan but the quality of their case is excellent. The hand grips make a massive difference to handheld play.

The handgrips are solid but the rest of the case is squidgy.Is it soft or hard (with a soft coat on it) ?
Okay thanks, not my type then.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.

What are those thumb grips? They look nice.I'm not the biggest Dbrand fan but the quality of their case is excellent. The hand grips make a massive difference to handheld play.

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 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.
Memory and storage manufacturer Silicon Power just released the Hypera microSDXC Express Card designed for the Switch 2, arriving in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB capacities. The company says that this memory card can hit read speeds of up to 800 MB/s and write speeds of up to 700 MB/s — this reduces download, install, and load times on the new handheld, allowing you to seamlessly play AAA titles without worrying about buffering. It was also tested for reliability, ensuring that it will withstand the rigors of daily use so that you don't lose data due to the card's failure.
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.
