enojy posted:Are there any good hard cases for this thing yet? Seems like every case so far has problems. I picked up an Insignia case from Best Buy after returning the soft carrying case I complained about earlier. It's kinda plain but feels sturdy as heck and I'm pretty sure my first 3DS case was this brand and I never had a problem. I haven't got home yet to put the Switch inside to see if there's anything stupid like a broken-glass lining.

Or is it still a mess of multiple logins?

It took IS years to realize that it sucked and remove it from Fire Emblem, why'd Nintendo have to bring it into Zelda? There are special weapons/shields you can get that are immune to damage

I'm in a monkey's paw style situation where I can get a free Switch, but I have to track it down myself  I hope this isn't a repeat of the Wii where it's going to be impossible to find and I have to phone every store in goddamn Canada every 5 minutes to try and find one.

This console has some rough edges but I'll feel a lot better once a screen protector is on there. Joy Con desync? Doesn't seem to happen to me. Can't power up with the Pro Controller? That's dumb but I guess I'm putting it in sleep mode like they intended. Shape of power block? I guess they don't have power strips in Japan. Oh well. Dock scratches the screen? Well, I guess that...w....what? I can't fathom why they would allow the dock to scratch the screen. Mine has a microfiber cloth in there until this screen protector gets here.

I know its not low balance or anything, so I assume the system is getting flagged by "dude not in Japan is trying to buy from Japan". Anyone else experienced this? I'm guessing I'll have to look into points cards from Japan if I want to pick up Disgaea early.

okay my left joycon is absolutely losing charge quicker than the right. my right goes down 1 block and the left by 2. :| wonder if this is a contributing factor to the desync stuff? havent got that yet but i wonder if i hadn't of been checking it... charges fast i guess, but still. might be picking up that pro controller with a remortgage sooner rather than later. re: scratch issue- i think they honestly didn't expect people to be sliding the switch out by the sides or shoving them sideways into small entertainment centres but here we are, expect wii condoms by the end of the month. i got mine all set up like the switch trailer.

Oh yeah, I guess you need to use the eshop codes on the stores to buy stuff. I haven't bought anything yet outside of getting some free demos. I would buy Metal Slug 3 from either the JP or EU eshop, but a lot of the places with digital codes are sold out of them right now.

I'd just stick to the demo unless you can read Japanese. There's a Dragon Quest Heroes I & II demo if you want to disappoint yourself with how poorly it runs. I think that's about it for now, besides the Neo Geo games and that ridiculously lovely looking magical princess whatever game.

The UK plug points the correct way to fit into my 5x2 power block. It's the opposite way round from the 3DS charger that I have to pair with a slim USB adapter plug for optimal socket usage. Played more Zelda and Fast RMX today, they are both really good. I'm really loving how reactive the NPCs in Zelda are, they consistently have dialog that references things I am doing/have done.

That's super disappointing to hear, I don't have it in me for more than one muso game but Hyrule Warriors hit the spot for me and I was hoping Switch would get a sequel or at least a "deluxe" edition with all the 3ds content. Hopefully a Switch-only game will be better optimized and run decently.

Sorry to interrupt the mostly-Help Centre chat, but there's a cool video trending on the Switch's potential AR qualities: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOUPbSakz9M&t=231s Just thought I'd share. Oh, and I'm personally hating the arrow keys on the left joycon, especially for weapon switching in Zelda. Usually a controller will force you to move your finger up to use esoteric buttons, rather than down. It's that the drat two-player-gameplay-out-of-the-box functionality that's making the Joycons a little less cool than Wiimote and Nunchuck.

I tried it in portable mode only; it took me all of 2 minutes to come to the conclusion that the frame rate sucked and uninstalled it. I figured docked mode could only be worse, but then again, I forgot the Switch supposedly underclocks for portable mode.

I bet Fire Emblem Warriors and the possible Hyrule Warriors port would run better, especially the former, since it's a Switch game at its core. DQ Heroes I & II is a port of a PS4 game by a third party. enojy fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Mar 5, 2017 |

I just came off Hyrule Warrior Legends the other day so that might affecting how I see the port.

Played through the Snipperclips demo by myself and enjoyed it, but has anyone run through the main game in single player or does it get to the point where you have to have 2 people? Also, I noticed I had worse joycon desync issues when I was playing 1 2 Switch and doing those big or rapid movements (ya ya, make your jokes). However, just chilling on the couch (~10.5ft) I don't have issues luckily.

Just did a stage of Shovel Knight on portable using the button d-pad-- worked a lot better than I was fearing. I thought it would be nigh unusable, but the buttons are so shallow that it's just a bit awkward instead.

The screen-dooring even with high-density (e.g. "Retina" style) VR headset displays is still bad enough to make some people physically ill.
