I'm so used to the joycons now that the pro controller sticks will probably feel weird to me when I finally get one.

Most of the games that I own on Switch are digital. This isn't even intentional. I keep going to game stores to buy cartridges, but there's none! NONE!

Amazon always has games and does release day shipping. They also give you a discount for pre-ordering.

Excitebike was pretty dope when it was new and the level editor and all on the dang NES wow!

The sound effects still get all in my head.

That was indeed a great game.

It was the Hunter mode in Midtown Madness 3 but one of the battle modes in the MK8D sounds like this mode so it might be MK8D.

This happened to me with the Snipperclips demo... I would literally sell my joycons and just use the pro controller, but the fact that things like that happen and I couldn't even use the pro controller to go through the system setup means it's probably a really bad idea not knowing if any future system updates are going to make me use the joycons. I'm literally never going to use the joycons except in these really dumb situations.
It's really freaking weird to me how eager and willing some people are to just completely disregard one of the most impressive and convenient aspects of the entire system, its portability.

I rarely even leave the house with it, but probably 60% of my playtime on the Switch is in handheld mode simply cause it's more convenient.

Loading a game in a shrine and having it reset the whole shrine and put you back at the entrance is indefensible and easily the thing I hate the most in BotW (just disable saving inside of shrines if you're going to do this for gently caress's sake). Run out of arrows doing some torch lighting bullshit near the end? Start from the beginning with no save-as-you-go convenience for you, you fucker. Also you better have a save from when you first entered since your newer save will reset your progress and keep your item use for an extra helping of gently caress You.

It's crazy to think that people use the console differently because you find one way more convenient, brb changing up my Switch playing methods.

It's really easy to burn through 100+ arrows if you aren't constantly teleporting to stables or other areas with NPCs that sell them.

It also doesn't change the fact that letting you save mid-shrine but forcing a progress reset anyways is loving bullshit.

I was very happy to find I could turn on the Switch while holding the home button on the controller.

Now I just use the pro controller to play the Switch while its docked and hooked up to my PC monitor. It's much closer and nicer looking than the TV.

I can't wait for a portable dock solution so I can throw the Switch on the conference room tv and play mario kart at lunch with co-workers.

Actually I may just bring the dock with me and do that anyways.

Have Nintendo given any indication at all as to why there still aren't Virtual Console games available, seven weeks after release? I can understand if they need to work on the netcode for online play or whatever, but surely they could poo poo out a port of Zelda 1 or Super Mario World in the meantime. Nintendo, if you give me a way to buy Metroid Zero Mission again, I will do it. It doesn't have to be a 100% accurate emulation.

I really like using two joy cons without the connector. I feel like it's much easier on my wrists since I can hold them in any position I want and still play.

I turned off gyro aiming in the settings, so that could be a deal breaker if you love that feature.

If the gyro is being weird you can reset it by putting the right joycon on a flat surface for a few seconds.
