They are pretty tiny, and indented, so while I can touch feel them I still am not sure and have to get a visual. Maybe if they were outcrops instead of indentations. But painting the symbol is such an easy mod I can do it with my kids art supplies probably.

Or even in the not-too-recent past? https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=xbox+one Odd enough; the PS4 pro doesn't seem like it comes with a pack-in.

Neither Xbox One nor PS4 had a pack-in at launch. The last console to have a pack-in game was uh, I guess the Wii U 32GB with Nintendoland, though that only sort of counts since the Wii U was available without it. So other than that, the Wii was the last one with Wii Sports.

It's cool that the Switch gets silly coverage like this, for some reason this dumb toy launch makes me care about stuff like that

Anyone have any experience with these screen protectors? https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Protector-amFilm-Tempered/dp/B01N3ASPNV/ref=wl_mb_wl_huc_mrai_2_dp The news about scratching switches from the dock makes me want a glass screen protector but the news about screen protectors causing a bunch of heat makes me pause.

Amazon has Neon Switch in stock and the particular seller has them 10% off for $269.99? Really weird, 2 units left in stock. I wonder if I could contact Amazon since it is less than a week and see if they will give me 10% in credit back.

https://www.amazon.com/Compact-Play...P7WWVH0F4FTQYRH At my most cynical I'd wonder if the charger port was placed on the bottom of the switch specifically so you can't charge while playing in table top mode unless you buy this $35 piece of plastic that Nintendo is conveniently getting license fees from.

Yeah I didn't even notice they were marked until after I put mine one wrong and had a REALLY HARD TIME getting it off.

Inzombiac posted:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MR63I6F/ref=ya_st_dp_summary Can you comfortably put a usb cord and some games in it? I'll probably go with this one since the official one seems to be sold out everywhere. I bought a pro controller but I'll probably sell it on eBay or return it since I don't really have a need for one yet and snapping the joy cons in and out is half the fun. I'll wait until games that pretty much require a dpad come out.

Ehhh, it seems like it is just for the main unit. You'd be tossing it in a backpack or something right? Like you wouldn't just be carrying around that case by itself? I went for it since I won't be going mobile without my work bag and almost all my non-Zelda games will be digital.

I love this game/system so much. I busted my Switch out during lunch 30 minutes ago. I had my JoyCons and my Pro controller. My coworkers and I just had a mini-tournament in Fast RMX. Everyone was amazed and it's crazy how well this game runs in split screen table-top mode.

I don't mind just throwing the cable in something else since if I was taking it somewhere where I'd play handheld for more than 3 hours, I'd probably have another bag anyway. I'll go with this one. Hori is quality.

Cerepol posted:99% sure the charge port is on the bottom because thats the best way to plug a docked item in. Yeah the only other solutions I could think of is making joycons dock both ways which would be a reliability nightmare and also having the headphone port on both sides of the console, or on a joycon.

They should just enable cloud storage for save game uploads with the paid online subscription like what PS+ does. It just saved my FF15 saves last week when it crashed during a battle and corrupted my save files.

I just got the Hori Tough Pouch from Amazon. It's pretty nice, a step up in rigidity from a neoprene sleeve. It's off gassing like a motherfucker, though. It also isn't anywhere near zero clearance, so I might pad it out a little bit over the Joycons.

BambooEarpick posted:ffffffuuuuuu. Guess what? We live in an age where information is gathered, amassed and sent out to the masses at lightning speed with flawed data. Failures are going to happen, the chance you will have one is low as gently caress. The save data thing is dumb but I will hope that will change in future updates or when their online service is up and fully running later this year.

Oh, dumb question time. I'm going overseas in a few weeks. I bought an Anker PowerCore+ 13400 last year and it's been moderately useful. I take it that I can just use the USB A-C cable that came with the Pro Controller and just go ham if I don't want to unpack my charger?
