You may want to do amiibo from the start as there are apparently rare armor drops that are only obtainable through amiibo if that is your thing.

Eh, I'm halfway though and I haven't missed having the amiibo goodies. They're just not necesssary. They're strictly for gently caress around runs.

I use the grip when I play games with my kids because handing ANYBODY a single joycon is cruel because it sucks.

Really wish snipperclips supported any controller. Seems like some nintendo BS.

Tried master blaster, coop. It felt like poo poo. But it was played on a single joycon. Which is poo poo. So I dont know of its the game or the joycons.

From all the praise and what with joycons being poo poo, I'll give it a try again with full controller.

Seen a lot of recommendations for this one or others in the same line.

I'm a little confused on portable chargers for Switch.

1) do I just need a USB-c cord with the regular USB dongle on the charger end of the cord?

2) is too much power bad? I have like 3 Anker power batteries... one is 15000 the other is 20000. I noticed you mentioned there were lots of recommendations for the 10000 one. Is 15 or 20 too much?? Will it fry?

People are terrified because lovely usb c cables on Amazon can blow stuff up. I haven't seen any thing about actual blowing up switches.

2. That's capacity not power. Shouldn't be a problem. Even amperage shouldn't be a problem because a device will only draw what it wants.

If theres any actual cases I'd like to aee them. Use a legit usb c like from the pro controller and be fine.

Ya, they make the SL/SR easier to use. Snap in much easier than those stupid straps. Also add enough bulk to hold comfortable. They are still small, but gives you more than a fingertip grip like normal joycons do. I purchased a second set of joycons even so I can leave a pair in these for TV play.

I put some pictures a bunch of pages back, but check the first two reviews on Amazon for good pictures to get an idea on size.

[Ed] I'm tempted to get those joycon slip ons that were just linked... but I have a question... if I have a pro controller, can the 2 joycons in the default joycon grip act as "controller 2"?

2 and 3 were good even if 2 had major issues.

Regardless of Nintendo not meeting demand, it's specifically WalMart or that employee who sold the console's problem. They sold the console one customer had requested and then had no more to sell to the customer who had one preordered. On top of that, Nintendo did pretty well with demand this year. Every console sells out unless it's the Xbox One, but beyond preorders and people clamoring high-capacity stores, there were still some on store shelves around the US. Hell, there are even a few floating around Japan.

Like, are you saying that you played Blaster Master Zero Co-Op by yourself using a single Joy-Con, attempting a control scheme that requires two people on your own?

Or did you play Co-Op with a friend and did not like single Joy-Con use and therefore would prefer, say, two sets of Joy-Cons or two Pro Controllers when that becomes possible?

Could you link the parts that actually support you because I haven't found any.

The first is just about Best Buy stocking procedures, and the second said they will have some extra stock on launch day which is cool but meaningless to the original point.
