to be fair, the joycons are supposed to have like a 20 hour battery life, so
just charge them while you're sleeping or whatever.

You can't buy a 3DS that comes with a drat charger included, an HDMI cable is extremely generous.

So generous of them to include a cable that is a few bucks and most of us probably have several dozen laying around already anyways.

Anyways I keep on SWITCHING my perspective on thisbthing. I think I want it but maybe six or seven months down the line.

I hope the Virtual Console input lag for Switch isn't as laughable as Wii U. I'm currently playing Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii U VC and the input lag when playing on my TV with a classic controller is borderline unplayable. I wanted to play XBCX on Switch VC.

That's bizarre because Xenoblade isn't a virtual console title at all, and runs natively as a disk image on the Wii hardware internal to the Wii U. I think it's your TV.

It, like all Wii titles on the Wii U eShop, is not emulation, no matter how Nintendo presents it. Xenoblade as an eShop title runs identically to inserting the disc into the Wii U or into a Wii.

Oh, I thought you were unaware that it was on the VC like I was until recently. That's... interesting. I'll have to mess with settings on my TV more, maybe change something on Wii U display settings? Very strange but the lag is noticable.

They were new when we bought them. They were a Mario & Luigi special edition, though, so maybe that's why the came with them.

Or do you mean "new" as in "new 3DS". Cause they're just regular 3DSXL's.


Edit: Saw the other post, apparently it is "New 3DS". Sucks that those don't come with chargers. Pretty stupid. Can't think of any other machine I've bought that didn't come with a power cable.

You only really need a charging grip if you are getting an extra pair of joycons. However this effectively makes a second pair of joycons cost $110.

If a dock costs $90 if you want to have the ability to easily move to a second TV, you're getting to the point where it actually just makes more sense to buy a second switch. Maybe that was their plan all along.

You plebians just don't know what epic literature is. You should try reading Stephanie Meyer, E.L. James, Dan Brown, or Ayn Rand.

I'm currently playing XC (digital dl) on the Wii U and I have no issues, so it's probably your TV. Does it set the mode to Game by itself? Some TVs don't afaik, which makes the input lag very noticeable.

EDIT: keep in mind the game does have some framerate issues in big fights, which makes stuff like Dunban combos a bit laggy at times

It is set on game mode - as long as it didn't reset itself after an update. I'll check later. Are you using a WiiMote and a Classic Controller?

you know, come to think of it, the JP and Int'l launches of the Switch combined would actually make for a solid offering. Zelda, Bomberman, Disgaea, Tetris, DQH, Skylanders, Just Dance, 1-2-Bargain Bin and the indie stuff reads much better than just the JP or Int'l launches, respectively

Disgaea 5 Complete is a launch title for Japan's Switch lineup but not NA? :saddowns:

Nintendo made the WiiU and people didn't grock that it was a new console. Then they made a new 3ds and thought, "to avoid confusion we will name it the New3ds" As you can see it totally worked 100%.

They figured everyone in their target audience had a ds something previously so they did not include a charger in the box. Its funny, they were sure to point out in the Switch conference that it did come with a charger in the box.
