Split Joycons, one in each hand, slouched over a couch for life. Get that antiquated Grip and Pro poo poo outta here. Zelda is good, and I'm ready for Splatoon. The Switch is good.

I just picked mine up but I might stop by Best Buy to pick up a screen cover or something Since the PDP one is too big apparently (the one that is out for delivery to me now) and the Hori one has low ratings too, I got this one, but it won't arrive for 2 weeks so I may just cut the PDP one down to size to hold me over or just baby the system when docking. It is glass and apparently a perfect fit.

Going to wait a few months to get the Switch with a glass screen and non-poo poo joycon connection issues.

This is going to sound silly, but I need some realtalk. New to Nintendo ecosystem. I think I may have an accunt I set up for Pokemon or Fire Emblem Heroes or something... what do I need to do to be all set up and ready to go. Indoctrinated, as it were... anything important?

The PDP one sucks. It is too big, and also doesn't come with some of the quality of life things that I expect from screen protectors these days. No included spray/wet wipe, crumpled lovely little tabs you can't pull off without touching the underside or exposing it to dust, no hinge method stickers, no way to clean dust off the underside after the inevitable first failed attempt because it's oversized. If none of that made sense to you, congratulations, you're not an rear end in a top hat. But still don't buy the PDP one.

Haven't seen anybody mention it but the Hori screen protector is once again stellar, easy to put on and makes the console look as if it doesn't have a protector on. Really glad I got it day one considering people are seeing scratches on the screen. That, and kids.

Grimes posted:Careful sliding the switch in the dock, I guess, or get a screen protector. Why did they make the screen plastic? there's a slight bit of a gap tho so unless you're ramming it in i cant see those kind of scratches popping up. fakeedit: i just checked mine and there's a little thing at the bottom after the gap that could be doing it actually, i checked under light and it leaving a slight mark, not permanent, like a finger print mark and i've barely taken it out of the dock. :| guess i'm gonna buy a screen protector. kinda hoping they or a third party make new standalone docks or something. realedit: lmao of course the hori ones are now selling out.

I'm just disappointed that the TV Mode is crap compared to the handheld mode. My wife loves handhelds but I can't stand them so I'll be staying away for awhile. Should have kept my loving WiiU to play Zelda.

I'm never going to play this thing undocked, so it's sad to see that it's not a very good TV console. Starting to feel a little buyer's remorse. Zelda is good and all, but I could've played it on Wii U and been fine I guess. Damned if I don't want Mario Odyssey though.

Anybody truly regretting... you can probably get cost for it to a friend/craigslist, etc... It's a bummer about Zelda's docked performance, but theoretically, couldn't they at the VERY least patch it to run at 720p? If not just find a more elegant way to fix it?

Soul Glo posted:The framerate on Zelda is worse docked because it upscales from 720 to 900 Like, I kind of expected native 1080p at this point. C'mon Nintendo, what are we doing here? I guess my beef is that this thing really doesn't serve well as a handheld OR a console. Both sides are compromised.

My Walmart order just went straight from being stuck at "processing" for days to "shipped" with a tracking number and info that says it got shipped a while ago and is still supposed to arrive today so maybe there's still hope for some of us and the tracking info is just like 80 hours behind. Also all FIVE of the $299.96 pending charges fell off my card statement suddenly so maybe I got it for free. A FUCKIN CANARY!! fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Mar 3, 2017 |

Soul Glo posted:The framerate on Zelda is worse docked because it upscales from 720 to 900 It doesn't upscale. It runs natively at 900p. That image is then upscaled to 1080p for output to the TV. The unfortunate part is setting your TV output to 720p doesn't change the native resolution in docked mode, it downsamples to 720p. It still runs at 900p, which means you get the same slowdowns. man nurse posted:Like, I kind of expected native 1080p at this point. C'mon Nintendo, what are we doing here? Please. Even the PS4 and Xbone don't do 1080p properly.

Two thoughts: 1. There doesn't appear to be a way to disable Wifi but keep Bluetooth enabled. If you put it in airplane mode with the Joycons out you get a warning to reconnect the Joycons to play. Which leads me to thought two: 2. When attached to the console, the joycons do have a physical connection to the console. Huh.
