Will the Pro controller charge if connected to the side ports on the dock with the Switch in sleep mode? Or does it have to be on? Finally got my first low battery on the Pro controller after 2 weeks. Much less than the 4-6 months I got out of the WiiU pro controller.


What kind of music does it have? Maybe I should download the iOS version to preview it.

The dock will charge whatever is plugged into it regardless of if your system is in there. Plug in your phone if you want.

Wii U was great if you like Nintendo stuff, but that better do it for you cause games from everyone else generally didn't happen. Probably a lot to do with why Nintendo is going hard after Indie stuff now and hopefully keeping the trash out this time.

Because people who didn't buy a WiiU told them they got burned, much like people who haven't purchased a Switch are saying how it is poo poo with "no games". Like the PS4 or XB1 did any better, or really any console release.

ps4 didn't have anything good until bloodborne, i mean in 2017 it is a great system but i am sure in 4 years the switch will have a great lineup. i mean gently caress look at the 3DS it had a shity release but it ended up good in the game.

my favorite armchair analyzing for Nintendo products is when they release the 2DS and the youtuber blentalfloss was outrage at the idea the system exist, and had a "i hate nintendo and their dead now" meltdown. i mean it marketed for kids, cheeper and it come out the same day as Pokemon, and people couldn't figured it out. in the end the 2DS did a ton of good for the system.

I hope they give the Epic Dumpster Bear guy dev kit though. The game looks like trash or a joke game with all public domain assets, but as a platformer it actually has great level design and the controls feel good, and the touchscreen gimmick stages were a welcome change of pace. It used the gamepad better than most of Nintendo's games.

Did they ever fix or have plans to fix the controller sync issues, dock screen scratching, etc. stuff? I'm wondering if I shouldn't wait until they release a new version of the hardware ala DS lite before getting one.

Yes, it just adds an account to the switch. You can still play the game with your main account. It's probably delayed to finish all the languages or something.

Those are isolated hardware issues, not present in all units. If you have a desyncing left joycon you can send it in under warranty. If you have a pinched dock, same, but I'd say just stick a book in it and leave it in a window while you're at work and it should set in a better position.

I mean, maybe EDB is ok? But the screenshots on the eShop look like the most awful thing and I just can't justify spending the 4 dollars or whatever to play it.

Maybe EDB2 will be better.

Wondering if I should finally start Horizon or not, but can't stop the Zelda train.

Horizon is good if you never want to wander off path, it's an open world but it's very regimented. The robots don't interact with each other in dynamic ways for example they're always only in their pre described areas. You also can't climb everything you see which is a bummer. Good game though.

For some reason I was under the impression that it was a reissuing or port, rather than a new game altogether. Fascinating. I'm still saving up for a Switch though, so I'll grab it once a few more mainline titles come out.

Ya, the whole Nintendo is doomed/dead thing is old at this point. They don't overextend themselves and serve their niche. That is pretty much like saying Apple is dead if their watch fails.

Even though I have a N3DSXL, I still like my 2DS. I use it as a beater for when I travel so I don't lose or damage my Majoras Mask N3DSXL. I actually kinda prefer the 2DS for games like Mario Kart because of the shoulder buttons.

Have you tried rebooting the Switch? (hold the power button for 13 seconds don't put it into sleep mode). I had some slow down issues in Zelda for a few days and had the Switch crash on me while downloading splatoon and they went away after the reboot. There might be a memory leak of some kind in the switch UI and there is no shutdown just "sleep". Or maybe I'm an idiot and can't find the shutdown button.

Just hold down he power button on top. Cant remember if there is a way to in the UI for when it is docked, but I thought that there is.

You hold the power button for a while and a menu will show up that gives you the option to shut it down completely, it's not a button exactly.

I did that at first but then found out the Joy Cons don't charge if the system is completely off and stopped doing it.

Isaac showed up while on my lunch break. I was concerned, because I removed Zelda and inserted the cartridge, and nothing. i had to take it out and put it back in two more times for it to show up. Weird. Game plays just fine though.

This is likely a hardware problem, saw it on YT :(

I feel like I had somehow found a way to access that from a controller but I guess I was just imagining it. You have to hold the home button on the switch itself to access the reboot/shut down menu.

The power button, not the home button? Holding down the power button should bring a menu with "Sleep Mode" and "Power Options"; selecting power options brings up the options of Shut Down and Restart.

Keep holding it, 13 seconds. It should cut power. I'm sure it's not a real shutdown so you might want to make sure you have all applications closed.
