My wired connection is having issues. I just swapped my adapter over from the Wii U and now it's telling me that there's a connection, but I can't get into the eShop. I can post screenshots to twitter, but that's it.

Was it working before, or did you just try it out for the first time? I am using the same cheap lan adapter that I used on the WiiU and haven't had issues yet, luckily. Will see how things are when real multiplayer and online play is available.

They grief in game. Granted this was when the game was only like 6 months old so maybe they reduced it but it was still pretty annoying.

Has there been any indication just when Yooka Laylee will launch on switch? Or is sometime 2017 all they have said?

It won't be launching with the other platforms, and is slated as a 2017 release

I think a lot of 3rd party devs were waiting to see what was happening with the Switch before they started committing man hours to port to it.

My only complaint about Zelda's weapon system is that you can't keep attacking after your weapon breaks to finish off an enemy by punching him in the face.

quote:

JonTron is a talented video presenter who we were initially, two years ago, happy to include as a voice contributor in our game. However, in light of his recent personal viewpoints we have made the decision to remove JonTron's inclusion in the game via a forthcoming content update. We would like to make absolutely clear that we do not endorse or support JonTron's personal viewpoints and that, as an external fan contributor, he does not represent Playtonic in any capacity. Playtonic is a studio that celebrates diversity in all forms and strives to make games that everyone can enjoy. As such, we deeply regret any implied association that could make players feel anything but 100% comfortable in our game worlds, or distract from the incredible goodwill and love shown by our fans and Kickstarter backers

Anyone else having trouble with their Switch internet today? Specifically, mine won't connect to the eShop or any Nintendo thing and won't download anything, yet the Facebook and Twitter features work fine so I'm definitely connected to the internet. There doesn't look to be any scheduled maintenance.

Quick poll - After being excluded from being a part of a game that probably would have been a highlight of his life, will a white supremacist YouTuber:

A) rethink some of his convictions and make an effort at being a better person

B) get really pissed, double down on the racism, and blame everything on SJWs / the PC media

I don't think "fix jontron" was among their goals when they chose to scrub a loud and proud white supremacist from their game

I'm probably 70-80 hours into Zelda and I've done all the critical path stuff, but I'm putting off finishing the story because there are still big swathes of the world that I haven't explored yet. I like that they chose density over raw scale when it comes to the open world. I set a goal knowing that I'm gonna follow a dozen tangents before I get to it and I love that. Literal Adventure Game

Just applied the amFilm screen protector. Normally feel like a brain surgeon missing one finger whenever I try to apply a protector to any expensive electronic, but this was super painless, easy, and the screen looks really good. Hopefully some shoe won't drop soon and it turns out that it will cause my switch to melt when docked or something

Eh, that's just how they did it last time. It's actually kinda smart, since I'm pretty sure its main purpose is that of a server/network stress test, and piling people into hour-long gaps ensures they'll get the kind of load they want to analyze prior to launch.
