Damn, I still haven't finished BoTW, it's just that every week there is an indie/ non AAA game that becomes my "break" from Zelda.
Week 1: Snipperclips
Week 2: Blaster Master Zero
Week 3: Binding of Issac
Week 4: Little Inferno
Week 5: Snake Pass
Aaaaaand now it's Graceful Explosion Machine.
I swore no more back log... it's starting all over again...

Im just in two minds about Mario Kart coming out.
I had it on WiiU and played all the cups, unlocked everything and was always annoyed at no Battle Mode.
Now I see a battle mode and have my Switch on the go at work but do I pay again when I played all the courses already?!?!?!?!
Not sure what to do, any others in the same dilemma?

I am buying it for no other reason other than to starve off the inevitable drought the Switch is gonna see during the Summer. Play MK8 while we wait for the hype train to leave the station at E3 just to keep our Switches in action

It's still outrageous that Nintendo released a 32-bit home console in 2009 with the DSi.
They're always so out of touch!
Was backwards compatible with the ds, technically. Vita is obviously a home console considering it has no psp backwards compatibility.
A question for those who know how motion controls work.
We all know that the Switch handles rotation pretty well, that are the roll, pitch, and yaw, but can it detect movement along a single axis? For instance, if I move a joy con strictly along the X axis on the palm of my hand without ever rotating it in anyway, will it be able to accurately detect the motion?

Guyz how does Switch compare to Scorpio?!!??!!?!?!??!!????
Maybe using the IR?
Pretty much
Sorry if this has already been discussed (it's a big thread!), but is anyone experiencing smudging issues with the rubber grips? Not scratching, but just straight up smudging in the bottom left and right of the bezel? If had a Switch over a week now and it's still utterly pristine but the smudges every time I take it from the dock are a little annoying.
Technically the GB Micro wasn't. And if that can't be considered a handheld, then I don't know what can.

Same here. With a microfiber cloth and some breath dampness you can get it off. At least it came off my screen protector.
That's how the Wii did it. But it's not possible on the Switch for a variety of reasons. That's the one thing that disappoints me about the Joy cons. That and the analog/ D button placement. But I love just about everything else about it.
Are you sure that's really the game? Not just a display box?
So I was thinking of getting GEM to offset my only other game, Zelda.
What is the best way to do it? Directly through the Switch (The store layout really sucks) or can I do it online?
Also ..... how can I find which games have demos besides clicking on each game and seeing if there is a link for the demo?

Wish I could playing Mario Kart 8 this very moment.
I believe you can, pretty sure the trailers showed that in action. 2 joycons at least, no reason why 4 shouldnt work.
Significantly better at handheld games.
The downclocked Tegra X1 should be able to push about the same TFlops as Scorpio.....minus 5.7
Yeah, I thought the same but I can't find any definite info on that.

is this charger okay for the switch?

The Switch is a bit less powerful, but it will be a little bit more difficulty to carry the Scorpio around, such as playing with it on the train imo.
Well so far Breath of the Wild comes across as better than the Numbers Game.
Bumping this...
I just noticed that Celeste has already a price listed on Nintendo's site, 15 bucks. I guess it's coming out soon if the price is already fixed and validated : http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/celeste-switch
It's a sidescroller plateformer game about climbing a mountain, by the developers of Towerfall Ascension.

MS hasn't revealed the box yet, but I'm pretty sure it would be difficult to take the Scorpio with you on the go.

Where do you see your gameplay time for each game?

Nah. It wasn't backwards compatible with the DS because it was a DS.
That's also the weirdest fucking distinction to use as an argument that something isn't a handheld.

Found a Nintendo Pro Controller at StopGame after going in to check on something in stock for a friend. They had one left sitting on the shelf brand new so I grabbed it. I've been looking for them since the system launch!
Minor note, it looks like the Amazon listing might be a bit off on that. Looking at the Jackery store itself, instead of two 3.4A ports, it's 1A+2.4A ports. If the Switch doesn't charge off one port just try the other.
If the Ethernet adapters work fine when docked but not with the extension cable...it's probably the extension cable (or perhaps the seating). Do you know the spec of the cable (USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1*?), and what length is it? If it's a longer cable you might want to try a shorter one. I'd guess it's just a signal degradation thing.
*Technically 3.0 got semi rebranded to "3.1 gen 1" once 3.1 came out, which itself became "3.1 gen 2". Or "Superspeed" vs "Superspeed+", or 5gbps vs 10gbps. I'd be kinda surprised if the Switch used 10gbps USB cause it isn't necessary for what it has now, but who knows.
This is the cable I got:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FM4ZWV0/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It claims to be USB 3.1 Gen 2, but I have seen a few reviews complaining about issues with data transfer/USB peripherals when using the cable. I've stopped using it for now since I'm a bit concerned about the cable potentially causing long term damage to the Switch.

Has anyone had any issues with MicroSDXC cards not being read by the Switch? I bought a 128GB Lexar one that is read perfectly by the computer but not at all by the Switch. I did the system update, but afterwards, it tells me on reboot that the card can't be read.
Tried doing a fast reformat but was unsuccessful, and now trying a more full reformat.

I'm grabbing it for the updated visuals and to play MK8 local multiplayer on the go.
Zelda showed there is a big difference between 720p and 900p, and MK8 will be 1080p native. So I think the better graphics is enough for me to jump on this one.

With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe coming out soon I'm on the fence with physical vs digital.
Normally it's a no brainer since BB GCU and Amazon have 20 % off but the portability of the Switch has me not so sure anymore.
Like last night I was in bed playing Zelda and had the urge to play some Binding of Isaac. But I was way too lazy to get up and get the cart, and I was suddenly wishing I had a digital copy.
First world problems I know.

Digital for convenience. Especially games that are good for short sessions and regular play.

are you formatting on the switch or on a PC? i formatted my SD card for Wii U on PC but when I put it into my Wii U it wanted to format it again and said I wouldn't be able to use it on any other device. So I guess it does it in a way that you can't do on PC and maybe the Switch is the same?

I wish we could install the game somehow to our switches from the game carts.. But I guess Nintendo doesnt want that to spur piracy. I am running into the same issue in that Amazon was selling Mario Kart 8 and Mario Odyssey for 47.99 to Prime members and I jumped on that.. Might reconsider and go digital.
Quoting for new page.
I don't need it to charge while playing, as I don't play while charging. My concern is the battery getting borked by the charger.
