I keep getting connection errors trying to do online races. Online battle works, though?.

Glad I'm not the only one! It's good when it works though! Maybe the volume of players is the issue?

Hopefully the fact that MK8 is selling incredibly well will encourage them to just port every single good WiiU game to the Switch from now until the holiday season. Captain Toad Deluxe please.

Please give me Pikmin 1, 2 OR 3. I don't even care which.

SDXC. Called support, ran through all their troubleshooting steps which I had already done prior to calling them. Going to have to send it in.

Oh well, hopefully a motherboard swap on their end will solve that. The microSD slot is part of the motherboard.

Match making is going to take some time to settle down since everyone's kinda the same rank and it's not going to leave someone in limbo if there are no other similarly matched people to give them. Once more people get online and get ranked up it will start separating them.

The tilt controls in the joycon are definitely better than in a Wiimote. Don't think there's an accelerometer (or w/e) in them though. ARMs uses the buttons to punch and your joycon movement is just to aim isn't it?

I might try this after work. Did you call them and just say (roughly) "this shipping delay sucks. I'd like the discount on a digital purchase instead" or what?

If you aren't already interested in Skyrim you will hate it. The combat is insanely unfinished and the world is boring generic fantasy garbage. I put in maybe 4 hours on PC and oh man I hate it.

I said Botw scratches the same its Skyrim in did for me. At the core its about picking a direction and just going.

Its different. You can join the thieves guild and so stuff. You can watch Vikings yell at each other. There's a lot more like that to do.

No idea how it holds up. Its getting old and...d amn Zelda ruined open worlds for me I think.

Its better than zelda in some ways and not in others. The side quests are a lot more varied for instance from single questlines with more plot than the whole of zelda to small tasks that are more interesting than collect 10 luminous stones.

My switch's wifi performance is loving terrible. It constantly reports DNS errors despite having a strong signal. Downloads get interrupted repeatedly. The eshop loads maybe 25% of the time. Power cycling temporarily fixes the issue sometimes but not always.

Is this something specific to my console or does the switch just have a terrible wifi adapter and/or software?

Got to say it's nice finally having something that makes this feel like a console instead of just a portable indie machine with mk8d. Arms is the next "big" release then Splatoon 2 right? I don't remember any big name games coming out, street fighter 2 doesn't count.

I have zero issues with my switch on a hotspot wifi connection from my phone so maybe try a lan adaptor and if that doesn't work it could just be your switch not playing nice with your network.

Zelda not consolie enough for you? I'm just glad to have a game with replay value. Zelda was 10/10 gory every year. But has no replay value unless I wait like 4 years to forget everything.
