Ya there's no way I'm doing that either. Is there any armor for you to upgrade? Have you done or want to do all the shrines? The story honestly feels really fast without all the side stuff. It took no time at all to do half of the "dungeons" in the game :(. Most of the time is getting from point A to point B and all the side missions rly. This might be the best Zelda I've ever played but I just wish the story could be 100+ hours because I'm greedy.

I know when I beat it I won't touch it until dlc.

I got a defensive armor fully upgraded. Offensive totally upgraded. I'm not grinding to get heat armor better or any of that.

This console kinda reminds me of when I first got my N64 and only had Goldeneye for 4 months between xmas and my birthday and I grinded out as many cheats/unlocks as I could (got all but invincibility and 1 other). With the release schedule on this console, I may try to get as many seeds and I can and grind out more in Zelda. Maybe not all 900, but enough to max out what they are good for (not trying to spoil anything, but it is over 1/2).

Mostly, as the redesigned DS4's that came with the Pro and slim have smaller light bars and have 3 extra hours of battery life or so. It also does audio and has much stronger rumble (something people turned off and added hours of battery life to DS4's). Also, I think it keeps the gyro on full time, where I notice with my Switch pro controller that when I do motion aiming in Zelda, I kind of have to give it a little bump/jerk to get the gyro aiming active, so it isn't as quick/smooth since I had to go so far left/right just for it to register than I am motion aiming.

On top of that, undersized battery in the DS4.

It's still what, six hours versus the prontroller's 50 and it has the hd rumble thing going on for it and the nfc sensor and the ps4's controller audio is the most aggravating thing ever and I'd be surprised if there isn't a person alive who doesn't turn it off immediately
And I've never had issues with the gyro aiming on the thing to activate

How long before someone just makes a snap-on "dock" that just connects to the USB C on the Switch and has the ports of the dock on them? I mean, Nintendo should release something like this because the dock is poo poo and pointless. I wouldn't mind a bit of more bulk to my Switch to have the dock "built-in."

You don't want it. It's too ergonomic and comfortable, all of the buttons have just the right amount of tactile feedback, the battery lasts so long there isn't even a battery indicator, it's probably the best controller I've ever had.

Only if you screencast or tabcast, which you shouldn't do because it's dumb and works like poo poo. If you're just hitting the Chromecast button on your phone's Netflix app or whatever, the Chromecast is being told "play this Netflix video with this username and password" and it does the rest.

Why does it seem like the Switch needs a huge wall wart, but as soon as it's portable people just plug in whatever USB-c that's available

The easiest but pricey option would be to get a replacement cable/charger that Apple laptops use. You'll pay extra, but you're guaranteed not to worry about lovely manufacturing melting the power brick or charging slowly.

For anything cheaper, make sure to check the cables and devices approved by that one guy from Google, but keep in mind that the Switch's dock uses a 31W charger and a bunch of the wall warts out there only go up to around 15W and so will charge slowly.

Cables are pretty simple as long as you stick to ones approved by that Google guy or similar technical experts, since you don't care about data transfer, just that it has the proper power wiring.

For other chargers, the main catch is that the Switch uses 31W and laptop manufacturers are the only other people who have really put that much power across USB-C, so there's only a couple of other chargers that go above 15W.

Edit: NEVER NEVER NEVER buy a random USB-C cable or charger or power bank off Amazon or anywhere else if you haven't seen it go through technical testing by somebody. Some of them, including by brand names like Anker and RAV Power, are so badly made that they will :supaburn::supaburn::supaburn:literally short circuit and catch fire:supaburn::supaburn::supaburn: if you plug a device like a Switch or laptop into them.

I don't think it's a definite thing, because I've been to the womb like a dozen times already and haven't noticed a single frame drop yet.

I've seen frequent slowdowns with Azazel/Brimstone + Tammy Head combos, and one particularly egregious run involving Toxic Shock. The slowdown can definitely happen with certain item/room combos.

I just had an Eve run with a dozen fly buddies, 5 familiars (incl Brimstone), crazy rate of fire on pulsing tears, and made it through mom's heart without slowdown. I haven't unlcoked Azazel yet, even though I'm pretty sure I've had multiple runs that met the criteria, but will try him out as he seems to be the hero present in the handful of slowdown complaints.

Yeah the only time I seen slowdown is when there is a ton of tears on screen. If it filling up the screen, then it generally causes lag, otherwise the game runs great. I imagine this can be fixed soon, but it a annoyance that won't get in the way of playing the game right now.

Hear me out here... Tecmo Bowl HD. Same play style as the NES. But modern graphics.

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the announcement back in February. It's perfect for the Switch. A Virtual Console release would be okay but I'd rather have a new game with made up names than the NES ROM with all of the names stripped out.

Sell it as a 2-in-1 cart with Ice Hockey HD and maybe have a 6 Joy-Con mode.

It's not necessarily "lots of tears", even; I've had a couple of machine gun runs with 0 issue. There's just something with Brimstone and whatever screen filter involved with Toxic Shock especially that seems to slow poo poo way the hell down. It's not frequent enough or problematic enough to kill the enjoyment of the game, so if this is the only issue in a Nicalis game I'll count my blessings.

Yeah I am very surprise it runs so good right now. I keep bringing up the Vita version, but I played that version a lot when it first came out and that was a super rough version. And while Methodis kept saying there was lag in the womb (there isn't), on that version it DID have lag there for sure. And Azrael would cause slowdown even on his small brimestone.
