A thing that people with Bluetooth headsets may be interested in (though it's still really dumb that we even have to consider it).Teenage Fansub posted:Tabletop charging solved: When can I buy one? I'm not even joking, that's great. Argue posted:So, any power bank I use with a cellphone should be able to work with the Switch, right? My power bank says "Capacity: 20400 mAh/ 3.7V / 75.48Wh", and it's got two output ports, one 5V 1A, and one 5V 2A. Anything I should know? It will work, but even on the 5V 2A port it will charge slow. The Switch's bundled charger uses 5V 3A. Also, beware which USB-C cables you use, because some of the lovely Chinese knockoff ones are wired wrong and will literally fry your devices with short circuits. When in doubt look up the blog of that one engineer from Google who tested a bunch of brands for Chromebook purposes.

Can I use the cable that came with my pro controller to charge the console?

ChocNitty posted:Since Fast RMX was only $20 I said F it, and got it. I liked that I could continue cooking in Zelda, and watch videos of other games in the nintendo store, and have the game download in the backround at a decent speed. Its multi tasking like a proper home console. Huh. I read it has haptic feedback but when I was playing I didn't really notice it at all. Weird though that you would feel the tires on a hover car.

brickseek doesn't actually seem particularly useful for checking stock, seeing as it just kinda shows what the first total shipment was, which definitely just sold out immediately between preorders and walk-ins

My switch arrived friday on my lunch break, and I brought it back to work to tether to my phone and update and whatnot. Hilariously, The switch saw all the individual access points on our network, rather than the handful of SSIDs we have. so it was quite a long list of NETWORKNAME NETWORKNAME NETWORKNAME NETWORKNAME NETWORKNAME NETWORKNAME OTHERNETWORKNAME OTHERNETWORKNAME OTHERNETWORKNAME OTHERNETWORKNAME OTHERNETWORKNAME OTHERNETWORKNAME That's the first time I've seen something behave like that.

This has probably been covered umpteen times, but in my brief search I found nothing. Is the pro controller worth having at this point, or does the joy-con do a serviceable job for Zelda?

Also has native PC support.

also not sure if it was covered, but i just did some math : Dock : 60 Charger : 30 Joycon : 80 Grip : 20 HDMI Cable : 8 .. so it's $198 USD to replace everything in the box that's not the system. Edit : wrist straps not counted because they're presumably included (at least on the picture of the box) with the $80 joycon. Nerdrock fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Mar 6, 2017 |

there's a another version where the dock is $90 and comes with the charger, so it's a wash either way

You can buy a dock without an extra adapter for $60. Nerdrock posted:also not sure if it was covered, but i just did some math : Lol Best Buy has this at their instore pickup counter as an argument for why you should buy their Protection Plan or whatever.

This was an interesting (albeit wince-inducing) video on the durability of the Switch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJP6gERPmMk I really like that they made the button legends go all the way through instead of just printing them on top

I finally found a Pro Controller. It came with a USB C to A cable if anyone didn't know. The d-pad on the thing is kinda ehhhhh. I'll have to get used to it.

Mine still says "processing" with an expected in store pickup of March 9 (which is what they originally promised). Just feels kind of weird that those orders randomly opened up last week. Yeah this just got canceled, bummer.

Utnayan posted:I would like to know why too since Nintendo officially said you cannot do this in their support page. screenshots: the main dir:  the save folder:  the album folder, screenshots obviously.:  the contents folder is just full of poo poo like this:  this is what the switch is telling me:  i think that 216mb is the update data, there is nothing stored on the system memory by the looks of it. i checked yesterday and have saved more since then but both file sizes for the two files in the save data are the same. originally i thought one was my save and the first file was my brothers due the size diff. but now im wondering if that's actually the update data but then again that doesn't make sense since that would mean the top file is the sniperclips demo and the size that windows is claiming on my sd is too small for what the switch is telling me. then again, isnt 20,848 wrong for 216mb? i dont know how you work this poo poo out, someone do it for me. :| i mean the quickest and easiest way to test this would be to just boot up zelda without my sd card in, but i'm paranoid it would default back to system memory and ignore my current progress and i just found a sweet sword.

So here's something coming to a bunch of platforms and one of them is the Switch: AWAY: Journey to the Unexpected. A first-person adventure game with 3D graphics, 2D characters, and some rogue-lite elements.

That's how it works for board games, and it's: not great. I preordered a copy of the second printing of Terraforming Mars back in November, like shortly after the first wave sold out all over the place. I'm still waiting for my copy of Terraforming Mars. Last time I checked in with the seller, they said the reprint was on schedule for last week sometime, so if I'm lucky I'll have my stupid $60 board game this month sometime.

Well theoretically Nintendo being as big of a company wouldn't take a long time to get more hardware out. I just don't have the time to go hunting for a console. Scalping is a plague.

The Switch keeps going in and out of stock with online retailers. As far as in person ones - shrug.

I remember hearing that the same company that handled the software/emulation for NES Classic is handling the VC Emulation on Switch - is that confirmed, or was that wishful thinking/rumor? Does the NES Classic offer save states, or is it just whatever save mechanic was in the original game? I went back to play some old school Mega Man a few months ago, and realized that while I like going to revisit the classics, I'm at a point in my life where I don't have the patience for them without being able to cheese my way through the game using save states.

I went to two stores asked if they had Nintendo Switch, the first one told me they were sold out for the next two weeks. The second I'm pretty sure told me to never come back, ever. Amazon is offering to sell it to me now, and ship it when it's in stock.

It's just rumor. I think from Laura Kate Dale, whose info was completely solid up til the initial reveal but sketchy since then. The NES classic has four or five save states per game with the option to put locks on them so you don't accidentally overwrite

IMO it has to be because Wii Sports was a huge success and it wasn't a pack in in some countries (like Japan) that they probably got greedy and thought they can catch lightning in a bottle again. Even though they literally hosed this up when they launched the Wii U and Nintendoland wasn't a pack in either.

Nintendo wouldn't do anything like allow selling games on their console like the App Store. Or is there a big huge thing about getting a game released on the Switch. Like as a dev if I wanted to play around with some prototypes on the Switch I can't just Wifi it over.

I mean, Unity and UE4 should just have an export target for Switch, but you would need a special devkit model probably to get it running on the actual hardware. Nintendo has said that they plan to vet the eshop games a lot more thoroughly than they did in the past, to avoid drowning in a sea of shovelware that's always "on sale".
