How is it supposed to work without analog triggers though?
Just press ZL to toggle between the two states.

but it's the only solution to out of the box multi-player. Pro-controller or wait for the Dpad accessory which I'm is coming at some point.

I hope EA is seeing this and it understands how succesful can be a good version of FIFA 18 with the local multiplayer.
I'm crossing my fingers for rainbow six siege. I think it should be possible technically and Ubisoft seems like is staring to play attention to the switch sales so... it's possible!Absolutely. Any FPS with good local multiplayer would be a joy to play like this. Like Timesplitters or Metroid Prime Hunters or such.
They're pretty good buttons, I haven't tried a 2D platformer with one, though.Cuningas de Häme;236672910 said:I like the face buttons, they work really well. Do you have the Switch?
I mean, pics won't do justice. They are pretty good buttons, Bront.
D-pads suck anyway, it was good in NES and maybe SNES, but after that it became outdated. ***

I imagine it's not as ideal but it's pretty good for something like Zelda or Puyo Puyo
what did you do for the other 2 hours when the battery ran dead!?This is why, and why people buy Mario Kart again. 5 hour layover in JFK at an airport lounge with the wife who NEVER wants to play games was willing to pass the time with some rounds of Mario Kart and now Puyo Puyo Tetris. The instant conversion to multiplayer is seamless, amazing, and built in without any extra hardware. Once your start playing and someone sees they can jump in with no added work they become much more willing to participate. Easily sides right into my backpack.
Yes, what other options do Playstation fans have? Or Xbox fans?Well Nintendo fans have to embrace it, gonna be no other options for a while.

(youre totally right, im completely taken with my switch...)
i just played some rounds of puyo with my wife. this is not a normal thing to do
I agree with you, but also I haven't seen positivity like this around a Nintendo console in a long ol' time. Even the 3DS we love these days had some of the most negative press I've ever seen in that first year.Switch is a very young console who many advocates act like has got 5 years under its belt.
Life long Nintendo obsessive, here, but people need to give this thing time to make whatever mark it's gonna make.

you didn't think this through
I'm a bit worried that the excess of Nintendo Switch threads will cause a backlash from people that don't own it. Like, I like it and i think it's a bit too much, lolSwitch is a very young console who many advocates act like has got 5 years under its belt.

Wonder if they'd be willing to bundle some SNES themed switch joy con/dock with a couple of VC games. Could be smart.There's a demo for Master Blaster Zero. The D buttons work surprisingly well. It would be cool if Nintendo released an SNES controller for Switch Virtual a console.

Any blunders like a lackluster e3 could hurt it by giving them ammunition.
Hope it keeps performing well, in any case.

Impromptu drunk Mario Kart tournament. Like 30 people showed up, half of which I'd never met and they brought pro controllers and all kinds of stuff. It was incredible.
This is in Alabama of all places too. Loving this device and the positivity that surrounds it.
I think what you are seeing is already the backlash. The backlash to the extreme negativity many on GAF spat out at the Switch before it was released.I'm a bit worried that the excess of Nintendo Switch threads will cause a backlash from people that don't own it.

When you experience this, it's hard not to love the Switch:

I get the apprehension. Even the 3DS had a terrible launch and wasn't worth owning till the end of its first year. Wii U owners had to "beta" test the system on top of having very little to play. Surprised Switch avoid both, I'm guessing delaying the launch from last November to March allowed it to release with very few issues.Switch is the first Nintendo console I haven't had at launch since the N64 (when I was 5 years old). I didn't buy it this time because the Wii U had a disappointing first year and I wanted to avoid that.
This is kind of like seeing an ex a year later and they've lost 50 pounds, got their dream job and are seeing someone significantly better looking than you.
I've always loved Nintendo 3rd party sports games, until they go babby. The madden wii games made me actually want to play Madden instead of 2k, with the ability to throw and run with the Wii mote. The fifa and madden Wii U versions allow hot routes on the fly by drawing on the screen. I really want a retro co-op mode for fifa and whatever other games they bring over, where it's a USF2 style upport of the 98 series for the switch. Madden 98, NHL 98, hell just gimme an arcade of those games and I'd be happy.Does anyone else find themselves wanting games on the Switch they wouldn't normally buy? What I mean is, I want NBA2K18 and FIFA for their Switch experience. I'd never in a million years buy them on my PS4 or Xbox, but I find the idea of playing them wherever I want with whoever wants to play just very appealing. And it's not because I'm starved for games, I'd argue I have too many as it is!

Just took the switch on a 2 week work trip that was book ended by 2 14 hour plane trips and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. This is the best system for a working person ever created. I had a couple of quick Puyo Puyo and Fast RMX multiplayer sessions with some lapsed gamers (>35 year olds) who all said they were going to get one after just one play session.
The difference in gaming with switch vs gaming on VR (my job) is night and day. One takes 5 seconds to start to play the other takes a few minutes of setup, is finicky as hell and not polished at all.

Im just worried they will be gimoed versions due to the hardware weakness and EA overall incompetence at handling these things.Does anyone else find themselves wanting games on the Switch they wouldn't normally buy?

Knowing EA they are gonna fuck it up.
Hopefully then T2 delivers a solid version of NBA2k that sells well to provide a good counterpoint to EA's self sabotage. You'd think EA would've learned from their opportunity squandering Wii days but I guess not.This is a given.
It's a safe bet that aside from lacking visually, Fifa 18 will be lacking basic features of other versions.
And it will cost more.
So, how long until Switch in space pictures?
How will Fifa cost more? Do you expect them to sell it for $70? lolThis is a given.

It's a tough sell, but tbh I can see it selling pretty well just because of the portability factor.

That's cool and all but I don't play locally and if I did I would respect my friends more than giving them a gimped little half controller that wouldn't work for over 50% of today's games.
I love the split joycon scheme (one in each hand), but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't love them more with a proper dpad and proper triggers.
That would be really bad in a game like Sunshine. Just release the GCN joycon
I love me some Siege, but I can't see it happening without being seriously toned down.I'm crossing my fingers for rainbow six siege. I think it should be possible technically and Ubisoft seems like is staring to play attention to the switch sales so... it's possible!
You're the minority. Get a pro controller.
