I think the easiest way to do this is to set up a private lobby and tell him the lobby ID to join, and you guys can race (or do battle mode.)

Thanks!

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

Definitely going to try this the next time I play Disgaea 5.

It seems super weird to me that they would add those colour modes in, but then not add in a whole bunch of colour modes for colourblind people

Would this help much? It seems to me that it's very easy to make an automated filter that condenses colours to be similar (ie, making most/all colours into shades of grey) but it's much harder to make one that detects "these colours are too similar" and pushes them apart-- and the latter is what would best serve a colourblind player.

DO YOU HEAR THAT? THAT'S THE SOUND OF ME PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK.


Most colorblind options in games are crap and do nothing to actually help.

So I got a bag and a hardcase for my Switch that will be arriving in two weeks. Besides a pro controller are there any other accessories that are extremely cool and good to have

That's a setup Reggie has commented to be Hori's solution. We're still waiting for Nintendo's version.

You'll still probably have to use the phone, though.

Unless Nintendo's solution is dropping this ridiculous phone app idea, I don't see how else you can combine the chat's audio and the Switch's audio in a headset.

I was hoping to read on that list that you can choose a default account or log into 1 account at a time on the system level instead of choosing every time you open a game. I don't know why but that little prompt annoys the hell out of me.

My fear is that they're doing this to lock out the 8bitdo controllers.

The 8bitdo compatibility actually helped convince me to buy a switch.

Wild guess, but I think the "Online Users" notification refers to the popup when you boot the system stating how many friends you have online at that moment

I didn't know that popup existed, but that seems to make sense. Maybe I should add more than one friend so I can see it happen.

Controller updates have always been there, but previously would only occur if you did a hard power on with the controllers attached.
