Just need to finish this one last thing for work and then it is Zelda time. I tried playing the Snipperclips demo while on the toilet but got to the balloon level and wasn't sure what to do immediately and put it down for the time being.

Also, gently caress Gamestop! Someone close to me received some bad news today from their doctor and just wanted to come home and play Zelda on their new Switch over the weekend to take their mind off of it. Well the fuckos at Gamestop shipped Zelda, but never handed the Switch over to UPS. So it won't go out until Monday and there are none local in their area. I'd ship them one from here but it wouldn't get to them until mid-week when they will get the Gamestop one anyway.

So I am done with Gamestop for good. I'm already very upset with the news myself, so I am channeling it to that lovely loving company until I can fire up Zelda tonight and take it out on some Bokoblins with a tree branch or whatever.

Hori update

Played Zelda for 3 hours straight docked. Hori screen protector looks good as new. My switch didnt feel hot at all.

Maybe some are not cooling properly? Someone in thread said there's got real hot. Louisgod maybe?

Haven't had a chance to try it fully but zero issues so far.

Couple questions:

-Is there an easy way to toggle wi-fi on and off like with the 3DS? All I'm finding is airplane mode and I assume that won't work well if you use the joycons off the tablet. Just don't want the wifi to kill the battery while I'm in handheld mode.

-Is there a setting somewhere on the Switch that'll turn your TV on when you dock it or do you always have to turn your TV on manually at the same time? Was really hoping my TV could read my mind and turn on when I turn the Switch on.

If you have CEC activated on your TV, the Switch will turn it on and to that input by default (something you can turn off on the switch as well)

"HDMI control" or something, I haven't tried with docking/undocking but it turns the TV off and on when you sleep and wake up the console.

Whenever my Switch is docked and I wake it up from Sleep mode, the tv gets turned on automatically.

On another subject, thinking of grabbing Metal Slug 3 from either the EU or JP eshop, but can you do two players with the joycons?

Nice, that did the trick, thank you though the TV still stays on even after I pull the Switch out of the dock. Close enough I guess.

It switches inputs when docking if TV is already on. It will also turn TV on when you dock it.

Is there a button on the pro controller that should turn switch on from rest? My home doesnt work...

Never mind it does. I have to resync after I wake it up?

ya, it may with a power down of the Switch but not with a disconnect, because the dock would need to have some smarts to send a power down signal. Most TVs have a setting to turn off automatically with no input signal for x amount of time. Try putting the Switch in sleep mode and see if that works. Then you can just wake it immediately after undocking and resume your game.

So it costs more than the entry level product of a notoriously highly-priced brand and a paid of handhelds that either took a platform-salvaging price cut (3DS) or failed.

But you get a plastic shell to put the console in and another plastic shell to put the joycons in, a $130 "value," so that's great. Great deal. Tremendous.

gently caress this guy complimenting his purchase! Watch me get him!!!


Is there a better portable MP3 player than the iPod Touch, for the same price, or less? Oh yeah, the Zune HD! Which was more expensive and was dropped in a year.

Price cuts are indicative of sales performance, not hardware costs. The hardware is typically sold at a loss.

The dock is the least important part of the console, that can go in the trash for all anyone cares. The device itself feels surprisingly god for the money. But I can understand your skepticism since you're looking at it on the internet, and not actually using it in your hands.

I think you can control what Airplane Mode disables while it's active in Settings. I thought I saw a way to enable controllers but disable wireless, which is exactly what I'd want.

Except then I hooked it up to to the TV.

That blew my mind. They're letting you use the kind of memory you can buy by the pound when the alternative is either proprietary horseshit like Sony or on-board and nothing else. What a dumb thing to complain about.

Complain about the garbage dock and the charge port being underneath. And the plastic screen. And for being the most fragile thing Nintendo has ever made. But don't complain about the fact that there's an SD slot.

Well it's 3/3 and 8:20pm here and my amazon orders page still says my Switch is "preparing for shipment" with an estimated arrival time of 8pm on 3/3. Looks like I might just cancel my vacation days tomorrow and see if I can SWITCH to having monday off. I'll have to contact Amazon about when they think it might actually arrive though.

Welp, no Switch today. Amazon claiming there's a delay of some sort but yet my order isn't marked for it. Also got a kick out of the rep saying there were being shipped out in a first-come, first-serve basis but yet I preordered virtually seconds after the Switch was available to preorder. Apparently I'll be getting it in 24-48 hours. Yeah, we'll see...

Yeah do people really LIKE the apple model of $100 for 32gigs more? I always loved the android model of get whatev you want for however much you want.

I think its incredibly consumer friendly. Of course I always buy the lowest sized android model of a phone and upgrade memory with the market.

my walmart preorder got delayed earlier too, getting $20 back for the delay. it said the delivery date would be the 7th until it processed last night and jumped to the 3rd though, nbd though.
