Finally got myself a switch in the brief period where they were on sale on Amazon today and I am beyond hyped. Is there a general consensus for what games are must buy right now? Bonus for any games that would be good playing on the bus on the way to work and back.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
I bought fast rmx earlier and it loving rocks. Also got metal slug and this poo poo was meant for switch.

Which king of fighters should i get? 94 or 98? I want a beat em upand cant be bothered to wait for usf2.

Im gonna buy snipperclips if my car doesnt cost too much to fix but theres no loving "see all" on the eshop i just noticed, only recent and coming soon and snipperclips vanishes unless you go in the news feed.

i learned it from watching you
I found snipperclips via search, but yeah having an "all" menu would be really nice, I was looking for it in there and not seeing it. Weird oversight.

I'm super excited to finally have this thing after the month of pre-order cancellation/scouring the internet fiasco that was finding one of these. I think I might have the joy-con charging problem, but I bought extra joycons so hopefully I can just send the one offending one back for repair, if it's actually an issue.

Bit of a long shot, but do you happen to have two routers on the same network?

I spent a LOT of time debugging an XBone, but I have a very nonstandard setup.

Naw but I did end up remembering I still had another router that Verizon provided me that they did not take back when I cancelled their service. I connected it and connected the Switch to it and I am finally able to play Fast RMX multiplayer games which I was never able to do before, which was giving the same error message as the Splatoon testfire, so i'm positive it will work now.

I'm going through some older areas again before I set off on my 3rd divine beast and holy poo poo there's so much I've missed. I love how they somehow gave the game a open air barren tone while having a really dense world at the same time

Gyro aiming is the best thing to happen to console shooters since the addition of a second analog stick.

But but gyro controllers are so expensive!

But yeah it's got a learning curve but so did a second analog stick back in the day. It really allows you to not need liberal auto aim though, so if Overwatch comes to the Switch I seriously hope Blizzard includes it.

This will be my first time playing Splatoon.

I've tried gyro aiming with the Steam controller, and it can sometimes work as supplemental, to help with more precise aiming in games like the Division, but I really don't think using full gyro will work for me.

So, though I've had it since launch, I finally played 1 2 Switch for the first time. Weather was nice, my brother invited us over and I brought my Switch.

After a few beers, I busted the Switch out and we played for like an hour or so. Probably played around 20 of the 28 games I'd say.

The game is fun, especially to play with friends or family (though I couldn't really see my wife and I playing it the way we do Snipperclips).

The fairest knock against it is the price. If I had to put a price on it I'd say $20. Mayyyybe $25. If you can get it for around that price and you feel like you have family/friends that would enjoy some fun minigames, it's a pretty good game. I'm actually looking forward to playing it with other family members soon, if that says anything. But yeah, it's hard to get over the price.

Did Splatoon 1 have real matchmaking? I'm either winning by hardly anything or losing by a lot. By the end one team has each person with nearly 2000 points and the other team all under 1000.

liking Splatoon 2 so far. My biggest complaint is that resetting my camera doesn't alway reset the Y axis and I sometimes gets stuck holding at weird positions and I can't recline in handheld mode like I was hoping since I just got a new computer chair that is comfortable on my back

Yeah good matchmaking for battle like someone just said.

How are they going to match people fairly when it's the first time the game has existed? It's just gonna be random for the Testfire, but I still had a few close games in the first hour. Especially since experience is so polarized right now, you're either going to have Splatoon veterans or full-on noobs, but no way to tell the difference.
