Lol just realized the system is officially out and we still don't know whether we'll be able to play any virtual console titles we already own on this and how much they'll charge for the privilege.

Well, there's no virtual console on Switch yet...nobody already owns any virtual console games for it.

Do you even have the option to add people? I figured they were just waiting for the online service this summer.

Yep. Everyone has a friend code, but it sends a request rather than requiring a mutual add. My friend code is SW-5545-7688-3001.

I mean, I guess you could leave the back cover open if you're worried about it overheating.

I didn't even noticed, sweet.

What's the charge time on the Joycons? And how do I know the console is charging? I pushed the button on the top of it and it turned off the green light on the dock so I'm uncertain.

They don't, man's best friend was just doing you a solid.

On that note, for those who are on the fence about 1 2 Switch, I say save your money. Most games aren't all that fun or get old quick. I played it with my wife and the only game she liked was the Sneaky Dice game, which makes sense since she loves to play Liar's Dice.

I was able to play the telephone game with my 2 year old because she understands enough to wait for the phone to ring before picking it up, then they added in trick ring tones and it was too complicated for her.

It should have been a pack-in game, $9.99 at most.

So I got a $50 eshop card the other week when Amazon was doing that $8off of $50 deal. $20 of it went to BOTW DLC, $10 is reserved for Blaster Master. That leaves me with $20 for either Fast RMX or Snipperclips.

My dilemma: I usually am not a huge fan of FZero type racers. They are ok for a little while but don't hold my attention and I rather play a Mario Kart or Gran Turismo type racers. Just not big on arcade racers and whatnot. So it would just be to fill the racer gap until Mario Kart next month.

For Snipperclips, I don't know how much I would play multiplayer unless my wife gets into it, need to play the demo with her. So may not get too much use out of it though it seems fun. Maybe we should do Goon Snipperclip sessions.

I really wish I am Setsuna or Shovel Knight were $20.

Just want something that is short and quick to play for 10 or 20 min between Zelda plays.

No, unless they release some type of case/strap that goes around the whole console to the side of the screen

(and can't post for 6 years!)

Still having this weird issue with my Switch when, when docked, using a stereo cable running out of the headphone port into any kind of sound device (external sound card, internal etc) creates a buzzing noise as soon as the sound goes live. It's kind of difficult to describe but you can see an example here -

^^^ not me in the video

Anyone care to try this and test to see if it's just my unit or dock that has this issue? I have my docked switch near my computer with a stereo cable going from the switch to an external sound card on my desk that outputs to my gaming headset. I can hear game sounds and such but with an awful chopping noise.

Sounds like a 60hz bleed onto the audio signal. Maybe some ground issue within the console (design flaw, not broken console issue). Does it do the same noise in handheld mode with the charger plugged directly into the console? If not, maybe unplug the HDMI and any USB from the dock and try it. There are sometime issues with devices that are plugged into power while outputting audio to a separate device, especially if both are on the same outlet/power strip.

It may also be an issue with switching from analog output to digital output for HDMI output.

You may have to buy on of those boxes that separates audio out from HDMI. They are $20 or so on Amazon.

Also, make sure your TV sound mode is stereo as well, maybe that is an issue if it is set to surround?

Got my Switch yesterday and set it up today. So far it seems cool for the most part, but the power plug is oriented the wrong way so as to use maximum strip space, which sucks, and the buttons on the right joycon are too close to the stick. These are both fixable with a power extender and pro controller, so not a big deal. I've grabbed Shovel Knight and Fast RMX but am looking at the stuff on the Japanese store to augment the US release a little. Has anyone downloaded Dragon Quest Heroes? Is it playable at all if I don't speak any Japanese?

But that’s how it is when you start wanting to have things. Now, I just look at them, and when I go away I carry them in my head. Then my hands are always free, because I don’t have to carry a suitcase.
I mean the next ad would probably be tomorrow morning for the Sunday paper, so.

gently caress it I'm doing this. I don't care if I don't get the worthless 20 gold coins lol I'd rather get 60% off. I've already bought Shovel Knight twice anyway.

Edit: nevermind, apparently only the core game works for any system user, and you have to play as the Mexico-locale user to access any addon content. Weird poo poo, too lazy to fiddle with it. I'll just revert back to getting the free updates on the PS4 version.

Yeah, it's good. You can use the left buttons as a dpad so can be more precise than the stick. I already have it for PC & PS4, but it plays as good here as it does on either of them.
