I have my Zelda cover reversed. It is pretty. My Splatoon 2 cover will no doubt also be pretty. ITS ALMOST TIME GO GO GO

If you're concerned about hand size or whatever, just get the official Pro Controller. It's nice and comfortable (I got the Splatoon-themed one today myself) and the buttons are much bigger than on the JoyCons.

I probably will either way, my kids will likely be using the joycons more than I do but their hands are probably small enough that it won't be an issue anytime soon. I'm actually more concerned with them breaking them or losing them in the couch or something.

Nintendo is so backwards. They make fantastic games, which is pretty hard to do, but mightily gently caress up their voice chat functionality, which should be way easier to do.

I mean, I guess doing it this way does mean I can just use the bluetooth earbuds I already use for voice chat, so that's cool. And if I give it some thought, offloading that functionality onto separate hardware isn't really a bad idea, unless you're one of those people that does all their regular gaming wearing headphones to listen to game audio.
To me, it's the part where putting matchmaking exclusively on a remote app just seems so weird. It would seem less weird if you could still do the same thing on your game screen, I think. And it would also be pretty cool if they used this concept to add optional second screen functionality to games, but that would probably require too much effort.

Why don't any consoles just let you connect a bluetooth device for audio, anyway? Is it expensive to license? I would think not, since you can get it in a lovely $10 phone nowadays, but I'm probably wrong.

You know you're having a bad day when a Cylon ambush would improve it.
Is there a way to temporarily stop the pro controller from trying to connect to the Switch when a button is pushed? I'm trying to figure out how to pack it without draining the battery.

There is little that makes me happier than taking drugs. Perhaps administering them, designing and carrying out experiments that bend the plane of what we consider reality.

You unlock a full playable version of Stardew Valley if you reach S+ Rank in Splatoon. Better get kraken (cracking).

it is a game where the mechanics endorse abusing adorable dinosaurs because the creator is incredibly lazy.

I didn't think it was bad, in fact, I thought it was kind of impressive considering the entire thing is the work of one person. But I think a lot of people in this thread are gonna be a little bummed out by it.

I don't think it's better than the good classic Harvest Moons like 64 and Friends of Mineral Town but it easily blows away the last decade of that series.

It's worth it if you have the patience and dexterity to apply it correctly. Big plastic screen and the console has some weight so unless you're really dainty with it and buy a case, it'll get scratched. I didn't realize the screen was plastic until I got a nice little scratch in the corner :(

Get a screen protector, glass or no. The Switch's screen is plastic and it will pick up scratches.
