if your cart slot stops reading games, repeatedly plugging in headphones can spark it back to life somehow since they seem to share the same failure prone part of the pcb.

Okay okay I finally could not resist, and I licked my Zelda Switch cartridge. Couldn't taste anything. I might be immune to it?

Has anybody else licked the cart and come away unscathed?

Would be cool if the switch was just a new wii-u tablet or some poo poo somehow the processing power and graphics are pretty much the same idk just making poo poo up. There's just so many good games on the wii-u

Wearer of Compasses. Slayer of Gods. Champion of the Colosseum. Heart of the Void.
Saviour of Hallownest.
Two things.

The first, does anyone know of any bluetooth adapters for the headphone port that are tiny? I'm loving the Switch but it's a shame that I can't connect it to my headphones and the only adapters I can find online have a big old boxes at the end.

The second, I never get why I don't like Shovel Knight that much. I absolutely love 8 and 16 bit platformers but there's just something about it that means I don't keep playing it obsessively the way I would with something like Megaman 9.

I don't know how reliable bluetooth audio transmission might be since there's bound to be a lot of 2.4G interference close to the Switch, don't expect miracles if you buy a cheapo adapter

There's only so much you can do to account for stupid people. The straps literally have a little "+" and "-" on them to show which joycon you're supposed to connect them to.

I went to the Y and used an elliptical while playing Switch yesterday. An ArsTechnica article said Shovel Knight was perfect for it but it was highly throwing off my rhythm pretty bad. Zelda, though, was amazing while on an elliptical. I was doing a quest trying to take a torch from one end of a mountain to another, and it was intense, every time a Moblin skeleton or fire Keese appeared I started pedaling like crazy, as if that would make me go any faster

It doesn't destroy it. The problem is that the joycon release buttons are counter-intuitively not necessary to release the strap and in fact make it harder to remove. I can easily put them on and take them off from either direction on my Joycons.

Yeah, it sucks that it seems to be messing up the rails, but again you can only account for so much when designing something. Maybe they should have found some way to prevent people putting them on the wrong way (like the way 3DS cards had a little bit sticking out to stop you inserting them in a regular DS). Hopefully future revisions will iron out stuff like this.

Soon we will discover that they used two different screens for the Switch and you never know which one you're gonna get until you buy it.

Yeah the crazy thing is I have told people elsewhere this numerous times and even linked Nintendo's support page on the issue that explicitly states this and they are still "Nah I'm not going to risk it, you gotta press the button. You're doing it wrong."

Well we know they used a single supplier. Something that's a good brand with a forgettable name like "Japan LCD" or something. So it would be odd for there to be two different screens.

I wish console warriors on other forums that shall remain nameless would stop assuming every person claiming a defect with a Nintendo product is lying or has an agenda, and alternatively other console warriors assuming every Nintendo is defective and an inherently broken experience.

I would be pretty happy if they didn't spend their limited first party development time porting over a game which was in HD on their previous system.

I mean, even if they got someone else to port it for them, it just seems like a waste.

I'm like 70 shrines into BOTW and I'm really not sure where they take the series from here. I'm not sure how they top this without taking it in another completely new direction.

*That's 70 shrines with 3 areas of the map I haven't even been to, with my map marked up with "hey that looks interesting" features all over the place still. I've never had so much trouble trying to decide what to do in a game (and have relegated that duty to the partner).

They're already spending precious development time porting over games in HD on their old system like Mario Kart 8 and the Splatoon engine. What's another game.
