gently caress this thing is so versatile! I love it! Been playing muliplayer Snipperclips and Fast RMX on the TV and in airplane mode all day now I'm going to sit up all night playing Zelda in bed. The only real annoyance so far is working out how to effectively communicate the controls to the person using the other Joycon as they're labeled differently.

Aw man I'm sort of there with you, sorry. I used one day of vacation today. Found out this morning it won't even arrive until after 2p PST  . Which, for UPS, is code for Monday

Modus Pwnens posted: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. No issues removing it? I may try to do a quick measure/cut to get rid of the overlap and use it until the glass one arrives in a couple weeks. Louisgod posted: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. Thats good to hear. It was a 3/5 stars on Amazon with some complaints the last I saw, but you gotta figure most reviews include the bad more than the good experiences.

Cowcaster posted:i mean if you're trying to talk yourself out of getting a switch you realize that overcooked is already available on ps4/xbox/steam and ultimate chicken horse is on steam early access and will show up on all three at full release, or is that Yeah, I mean. I'm gonna get it eventually. I'm just sad that everything I'm looking forward to outside of Zelda is some kind of multiplayer game and many of them are already released for other platforms.

I loving love that a lot of indie PC games are coming to the Switch because I love portable hardware. I played the entirety of The Talos Principle on my phone clipped into a bluetooth controller, which was streaming the game via Moonlight from my gaming PC. The Switch is that absurd Steamboy Kickstarter but real and also has Nintendo games. I'm not gonna be ready to call it my favorite console ever until a good two-three years from now but the potential is certainly there.

Geight posted:I can't find out how to make my Switch connect to my TV, everyone else says theirs just immediately connects when put in the dock, mine doesn't do anything and the Switch's screen stays on This is dumb but my first time, I had the dock power cord "plugged" into the USB port instead of the power port. Otherwise, yeah there's really only one way to put the switch in so it's not like you're likely to be doing it wrong.

Mr Phillby posted:gently caress this thing is so versatile! I love it! That's more or less how I describe controls to people, top/bottom/left/right buttons rather than the actual labels. Oh and Google Express/Target canceled my neon order cause it's out of stock. Can't say I'm too surprised but a bit annoying that it took 12+ hours for that to happen.

UPS hasn't dropped off the Pro Controller yet so I've been playing Zelda with the Joy Cons and they are not bad at all. They're more comfortable in the grip but it's all very usable. I haven't noticed any desync or anything like that. If it matters, I applied the system patch (with the joycons connected) before doing anything at all. Anyway, Switch is good, Zelda is good, Joy Cons are good. For what it's worth, any framerate drop in Zelda has so far gone unnoticed by me. Before you rejoice, though, I typically don't notice it too much while playing games unless the framerate gets really really really low.

I was able to go to Fred Meyer and impulse buy a switch and Zelda at lunch, if anyone is still out there looking. Hearing about the weird performance in TV mode is a bummer, since I never travel anywhere with games, but I suppose I can just sit at home and hold it.

For anyone wanting both a screen protector and a lil travel case, I picked this up alongside my Switch at Best Buy last night: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-carrying-case-and-screen-protector-for-nintendo-switch/5731701.p?skuId=5731701 I didn't even realize it included a screen protector until I opened the box, and it's an official Nintendo product so it seems pretty decent. I'm sure something better will come along later on but for $20 for the case + screen protector it's a pretty nice little pack. Has room for 5 game carts and a little pouch that can hold a USB cable to charge it. Also can function as a fold-out stand, which I'm more comfortable with using than the one on the back of the system.

How/when do you get to scan Amiibo in BotW? I tried just holding a few over the sensor and it didn't seem to do anything. I know the sensor works because I used it in Shovel Knight to read and write fine already so I figure I just need a menu or something that I haven't seen yet?

Fast RMX is wonderful. TV and handheld, it's just great. Snipperclips is as cute as I wanted it to be. I'm tired, so no Zelda till tomorrow. But that's basically my plan for the whole day. So relieved that Tesco and DPD came through and actually delivered everything! Gonna need that sd card sooner than I thought though...

Hell yeah this is great. I.put Zelda in set it up and did stuff. It did automatically download the patch. It gave me the option when I tried to open it. Weird. Loging in and buying SC was the easiest its ever been to buy a nintendo thing online. Downloads are blazing compared to psn I'm used to.

What are the pros/cons of downloading from the Japanese E-Shop? And how do you do it? Also any chance of the JP release games like Nobunaga's Ambition coming Stateside?

So Nintendo's servers still suck cocks because it's taken nearly 2 hours to download Zelda.

Imagine the only real cons is losing out on any MyNintendo points you would got for those games on the US store along with the menu icon and text being in Japanese.

 Went to check my mail for the BOTW PDP headphones and the UPS truck was in front of my house with lots of scanning/beeping inside. The driver handed me this stack exactly as is and I had to kick my door until my wife opened so I didn't drop anything. Her reaction was "what the gently caress, how much did you spend?!?" Edit: unboxed

Why Nintendo didn't make the Joycons perfectly symmetrical is baffling, they're so god drat small that even tiny hands wouldn't have issues reaching the buttons/stick if they were lower down in tablet mode.

Already annoyed by a few things like no headphone jack on the pro controller. Also I started up the Snipperclips demo using the pro controller and apparently you can't play it with the pro controller maybe I don't know? The issue was, I lost all control with the pro controller, couldn't go back to the home menu or anything. So I had to get up and remove it from the dock just to hit the stupid home button. Pretty dumb.
