Hey buds. My Switch won't charge or dock to display out to my TV anymore. How do I fix? :(

Did it get unplugged from the wall/surge protector? My plug loses connection from the slightest amount of jostling.

I've been having some issues connecting with a certain friend during our lunchtime Splatoon Salmon Runs, has anyone else had constant Local Play connection issues and maybe a way to solve it?

It's Marvelous proper, and also, it's a port of a Vita game, so it'll run fine.

Do you know anyone else with one and have you tried their dock? Have you tried plugging directly into the usb-c cable?

The ps4 version (and switch version) runs at 60fps and has more enemies on screen, as well as slightly upgraded graphics. Also they were released at the same time so neither is a port of the other

No, done in their style but developed by Marvelous who have a decent track record of making good Vita ports so hopefully Switch will be fine. It's hardly a graphically intense game anyway.

So was dqh, which runs smoother on vita than switch (with obviously lower qual textures etc of course but still)

The 1080p patch for Minecraft is apparently such a big event that it produced an article in Time magazine.

TIME posted:

We Just Learned How Minecraft Can Do 1080p on the Nintendo Switch

[...]

"We did spend some time analyzing our GPU usage and optimizing things before we did this move as well," he says. "We needed to spend some time looking at the fill rate and being more careful with that, just because of the number of pixels in 1080p. We kind of knew we could do the optimization and we would get there with the performance. But yeah, ultimately, the fundamental problem was switching resolution."

More specifically, switching the user interface at different resolutions. Reavy tells me the user interface on each of the console versions — besides the Switch, they include the PlayStation 3 and 4, PS Vita, Xbox 360 and One, and the Wii U — have custom user interfaces. "Every interface seam is handcrafted by our art team to suit the exact resolution of the console it's on," says Reavy. Everything through May ran at a fixed resolution. But when the Switch arrived, 4J Studios had to grapple with its signature feature: transitioning dynamically between different resolutions without hiccups or pauses.

It's fine with a controller on the PC. I love just sitting back on the couch to play it.
The fact that the first 40 hours of the game is basically a ticking clock that you have to complete a bunch of stuff during I was always struggling to min/max my time and efficiency. If I were doing a second play though I might be fine with casual controller style, but first time through I always felt like I had to be quick.

Only reason it's blurry is because most TVs don't support integer scaling.

Except some Pana's and Sonys and then they only interger scale at 1080p.

I love Sims and Stardew Valley.
I have no desire to drown my neighbor in their pool or bring a farm my dead grandfather left me back to life.

It's almost as if people enjoy the incremental progress of games like those because it gives them a sense of order in a chaotic world.

Square Enix have released a new trailer for Lost Sphear, and announced its release date.

It's coming on October 12th in Japan, and January 23rd 2018 in the West. It'll cost 5 800 Yen in Japan, it'll be getting both an eShop and Retail release. In the West, the Retail release will only be available through SE's online store, but you get some pre-order bonuses with it.

I feel like you could easily order like 10 of these and store them away if the western is going to get a website-only release and sell them for a profit.

Infinite mini golf has a very 3D Ultra Minigolf vibe to it, which I like. Hit a ball into an anaconda's mouth and get a hole in one is what minigolf should be about.

The only golf game you should be excited about is that one that has RPG elements and kinda looks like an amped up Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
