I got the email for the $10, complained to the support chat they gave me $15 right away then I asked explicitly for the extra month of prime. My order shipped later that night and she said I'd get it within 48 hours.

Cool I'll give it a try, thanks.

Kart is fun. I've played in handheld, docked with pro, and docked with handheld joycon. Two separate joycons feel great.

Seeing you people complain about puyo puyo tetris controllers of all things is weird. I didn't realize we had arcade masters here. Joycon is serviceable and a fight stick is coming. Pro controller has worked fine as well for me and I only hard drop, but when I gently caress up hard drops instead of blaming the controller I realize if it's online it can be lag or you know, I dropped it in the wrong place and fatfingered.

lag can cause your tetris block to go in the wrong spot?

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
I guess I should have traded in my Wii U MK8 and ordered a Switch copy so I could not get it and gripe to get some free poo poo/a good digital discount too. Amazon doesn't look like they're taking trade-ins for it anymore and I didn't really think anything of buying it anyway between having the Wii U and not having a Switch in hand yet.

A Sonic Racing Transformed-like single player would be neat. Or a Smash-style events page with special races/AI battle mode.

Maybe if the next one just up and becomes Nintendo Kart, since it's pretty much there already.

They might add more Nintendo characters in future Mario Karts but I doubt they ever change the name. Mario Kart is one of the best selling game franchises of all time, gotta keep that branding.

the antenna is auto-steer, turn it off immediately. the controller is when you want to say "I'm using tilt controls!" in a lobby and actually mean it for some reason. the other one is auto-accelerate which i've found use for when playing in handheld mode where holding a button down forever does not feel good.

You absolutely did those, unless you really didn't unlock any extra characters!

Really they should just add Captain Falcon and his Blue Falcon to either Mario Kart 8DX, or to Fast RMX. Or both.

It'll be fine, I've used that cable and this thing to charge my Switch at home (UK) and abroad (Majorca).

It's not bad at all if you have the straps on the joycons. Gives a better grip and makes the shoulder buttons more accessible.

yeah as much as i like the pro controller its Dpad feels lacking and not quite as precise as id like so ive ended up preferring the joycon for tetris

I have a similar one but RAVPower (it's a bit cheaper) and it works great. You'll need C to C to charge while playing. A to C will keep you mostly steady but losing a few percent per hour.

Lag can cause your input to delay and make you end up putting in two or no inputs. I've had it happen maybe once on online play when my friends connection lagged the game noticeably.

Probably because there's points determined if you do a reaction tetris or tspin so it needs to know who dI'd what first. I had all of one hiccup though and my friends connection was wifi and poo poo.

Is anyone else still kind of awestruck by this console? I was starting to lose that feeling but mk8d pulled me back in. I already pre ordered Arms and Splatoon 2 just in case my rural bm gently caress delivery doesn't happen.

After seeing people singing the praises of HD rumble I thought "I'd better go turn rumble on to experience this", only to find it's been on all along. I feel like I must be missing something.

Now that I'm thinking​ about it I obviously notice the rumble, but I can't tell what's supposed to be different between this and other consoles. This is with joycons, I don't have a pro controller.
