Boy, this looks fun. I wish I had a Switch.

Edit: I know people were making GBS threads on the Switch for not having enough games but I seriously think I'm going to have a backlog of games to play by the time I manage to get one.

Edit 2: Give me some loving Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents.

anyone take the plunge and buy one of SNK's games on the Switch? if so, is there any netplay on them?

No netplay, and some audio and display issues that are being patched soon (too dim/audio lag, but it doesn't make things unplayable if you want to take the plunge now.)

Hope down the line we get some of the other ACA games that aren't Neo Geo, like Lifeforce/Salamander.

I realized tonight that I was going the wrong way in Zelda and making it unnecessarily difficult for myself. I knew not to go straight to Ganon but today I wandered south of the plateau and things got way easier.


I love how even the English version of this has subtitles instead of voice.

The only thing I've had to go on in Zelda so far is temperature -- can Link little babby rear end survive this climate? No? Well, turn around then.

It seems like if you follow an unspecified but predetermined path, you'll pick up appropriate gear along the way. If you don't go in that order, the game becomes harder. I'm thinking it's east, northwest, southwest, northeast.

Bought this to have a better kick stand:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXK5P86/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fits the switch really well. It doesn't completely block the rear air inlets and is way heavier than I expected it to be (it's aluminum, but it's solid). Going to take it on the plane in a week and enjoy not craning my neck from the one angle of the normal kickstand.


Also the donkey video was hilarious.

I really fundamentally love this console. But jesus loving christ, Nintendo:

1. L Joy-Con issues
2. Docks scratching the screens.
3. The poo poo design of the Joy-Con straps
4. And my own personal problem, the left side of the Joy-Con grip becoming loose
5. No Gorilla Glass or anything for the screens.

They need to address and fix this poo poo. Besides the 360, I can't remember a console with so many fundamentally annoying, lovely design flaws.

The screen being plastic was done for the same reason it was on the Kindle Fire HD and the Droid Turbo 2. It's way more durable. Someone drop tested the Switch and the screen absolutely wouldn't break. I'm glad it's not gorilla glass.

Docks only scratch screens if you're a giant retard I'm pretty sure. I can't possibly fathom how people are getting rounded plastic to put gouges into the screen.

There is a tiny percentage of defective docks that do scratch the screens. Probably no more than any product launch, except every one is plastered all over and treated like the majority of docks have the problem.

There are photos online of people who have claimed that when they dropped their switch in their driveway and it got scratched it was instead done by the dock, because then they can blame nintendo and angle for a replacement

I mean it seems like the easiest thing to prove for a DIY website or something, just put it in and out of the dock for half a day and post the results

And I refuse to believe that Nintendo hasn't done exactly that and came to the conclusion that the material used is fine

The real test is check your dock for a slight bend on the front panel. The normal gap between the switch and the dock front panel is pretty small. I could see a slight bend making it enough so that if you drop the switch in at an angle that it can get scratched.

I know YouTuber​ Blunty says the dock scratched his screen. There's not really any reason to disbelieve people who are claiming it. The rubber guides, if they get dusty, that dust could be very abrasive.

Nintendo has been using these things in offices and event centers that are routinely cleaned, and now people are taking them home to their filthy houses and putting them entertainment centers they haven't dusted since they bought.

That's the thing about plastic, it doesn't bend much before it breaks. :v:
