Try switching the router's channel width from 2ghz to 5ghz, or vice versa? That gave me a solid connection, but rendered some oft he older phones in the house unusable, since they don't support 5ghz.

If you want to play anything but PPT in multiplayer, then you may as well get the LAN adapter, since it's required to both have fun, and to not ruin the fun of anyone else you play against.

I'd suspect possibly the vice versa, especially if the router is in another room. The 5GHz spectrum is more susceptible to signal problems when going through walls/objects, and as a result, can suffer from a shorter quality range than 2.4GHz. If your router supports multi AP, try connecting the Switch to the 2.4GHz AP and see if it helps any.

Or, if you're on 2.4GHz already and happen to live in an apartment, that could be it as well -- I've got a billion wifi devices within range at any given time, most utilizing a 2.4GHz AP. In either case, an Ethernet adapter will almost certainly fix it, and last I read, any old USB Ethernet adapter will work just fine. Don't need to shell out the bucks for the official one.

Thumper is a quite fun game, but playing it on PSVR probably ruined any chance of enjoying it on another screen.

Not saying you shouldn't get it but if you have a VR setup it's probably worth getting it for that instead.

I'm a vtuber expert
Thanks for the tips. My router doesn't do 5ghz but I can change the channels, which I did, and that didn't help any either. To use a wired connection I'd have to have a cable running out of one room and down a hallway into the room where the switch is and I'd rather not but it seems to be my only option.

I use a power line adapter for the living room because I live in a high rise and have to fight all of my neighbors for 2.4 and 5 GHz channel room. Not to mention my walls being concrete kind of kills the 5GHz benefits that far from my router.

I definitely feel some sort of way about it but can't really put a finger on it. It's kind of funny and charming because it's just a slightly large rear end in tight pants, and way worse has been going on for many years on other consoles... but yea, it's creepy too. I appreciate an Al Pacino GUHRRREAT rear end as much as the next guy, but it just feels out of place to me. Kind of like how people fetishize Splatoon stuff.

Probably like a couple years out.

New Leaf getting a major expansion shortly before Switch's launch after like 3 years of being out wasn't a good sign for a new main AC coming any time soon, imo.

It was never going to release in March and I thought it was funny when it showed up as releasing then.

I say this because I remember watching somebody play a beta or something years ago at this point and this was the first time I'd seen it since with no fanfare.

I'll hold out hope for a port at least. With a proper AC, I would be entertained for a long time.

The console itself is pretty neat even though I'm still figuring stuff out. Used the stand for the first time this morning and the controllers were surprisingly intuitive for Mario Kart that way. I thought it would be uncomfortable or I'd fumble with the controls a bit but it was a pretty smooth transition.

I'm not sure I'll ever use this thing on my actual TV. Maybe for Zelda.

It's a fun happy console, and you should get the version with bright happy colours :colbert:.

Also it's blue-and-red, not red-and-blue! :goonsay:

You gotta pay extra for the standalone red-and-blue Joycon pair.

Welcome amiibo wasn't a good sign, but the super fire sale of AC amiibo could be fairly reflective of its future. I wouldn't be surprised if we got an announcement at E3, especially with the HD assets in amiibo festival.

I wish the dock and the switch itself was also red and blue and not just the joycons

It's obvious Nintendo WAS working on an AC for the WiiU, but they saw the writing on the wall and scrapped it, salvaging the assets to use on amiibo Festival.

Not to mention Happy Home Designer's lovely sales. I'm guessing they just wanted to expand a bit on Amiibo card usage. I still don't think we will get any AC Switch info until maybe like 2019

Idoubt it, smash 4 has been out for two and a half years ago. Sakurai then worked with the DLC for another year and finally got some rest. You Could start a new Smash and have it in 3 more years minimum or have Smash for Switch so all the 3DS owners feel the graphical jump.

I'd be surprised if we ever got another Smash outside of a souped up re-release of the WiiU one. Sakurai left HAL mainly because he hated "sequelization" but has made 4 Smash Bros games, each one bigger than the last and loving him up more and more (his arms were like calcified or some poo poo in development of Smash 4). How much more poo poo could you even put in?

also some people are talking about VC--has that been confirmed?
