understandable. if Isaac on PC with mods and all that isn't doing it for you, the vanilla switch experience certainly won't.

Are you a member of Best Buy Gamer's Club Unlocked? New games (not matter when they came out) are always 20% off. Grab you some Zelda and/or Mario Kart. Those are the only games I have on Switch thus far.

I don't know what is more sad to me, Pokken being pretty low on the list, or SOTC remake being even lower.

Marvel Infinite is super low on that list as well, which is probably for the best.

I was planning on going physical with the Switch because carts are cool but that plan went out the window the first time I saw the cartridges were the same size as my loving thumbnail.

I wish they were more like... Sony Minidisk size.

So go digital is what I'm saying. For the first time ever Nintendo is actually tying purchases to your account instead of the device so if you lose your Switch you don't lose all your digital games. Somebody steals my Switch I just have to replace the hardware and not the five $60 games I was carrying with it, too.

This isn't the first time. Your games have been tied to your NNID in the Wii U and 3DS era too.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it only possible to delink your Wii U/N3DS and move your digital games to another console if you currently had possession of, say, the old Wii U and a new one? That is not the case with the Switch.

You can do it but it requires a call to customer service. I've had a 3DS, 3DS XL, and New XL and sold each system prior to getting the new one. Takes a couple of days though.

You could call Nintendo and have them do it in case of theft/destruction/etc, but it would also mean losing all of your saves. Can be pretty catastrophic on Pokemon alone.

Nope, a call to Nintendo Customer Service can migrate all your Wii U or 3DS stuff to a new system (if you lost or broke the old one, for example). Your saves were lost though. Does the Switch do cloud saves?

Zelda came in so I finally have something to play on my new Switch.

The Joycons feel weird and I feel like I have to contort my hands to switch from the sticks to the buttons on each side, and in Zelda I have to do that all the time. Will a Pro controller help with this

Nope. It's something Nintendo is aware of according to Reggie. There's currently no way to back up your saves in any way.

I had to buy a pro controller immediately.

Noticed a weird thing today. I actually put the Switch in dock mode today for the first time to play some games. When I finished, I put the Switch to sleep and changed the input to my PS4. My TV would occasionally flip back to the input channel for the Switch. Is there a setting I need to disable?

You'll want to turn off HDMI CEC or whatever your brand TV calls it.

I have the SFC30 and it is great. Solid on MK8 and Tetris. My only complaint is that the buttons are a little stiff, but that might just be that I'm used to using the SNES controller that came with my console 25 years ago that is mush.

I got one of their SNES replicas. The weight and feel of the controller is just about perfect. The only note I'd make is that the buttons are a tiny bit clicky -- you can feel them actuate, whereas the official controllers are mushier. The D-pad is a little stiff, but I believe it'll feel more like the older one in time. I love it, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a bluetooth SNES controller.

Do you have a newer Samsung TV? It's a known issue and should be patched sometime.
