Do you mean the secret compartment on the dock where you have to plug in the power and video cords, so very much not a secret? And you missed the two USB ports out in the open on the side of the dock? It's cool - really - I'm just checking.

Based on this thread, I think that most Switch owners have never even taken the dock out of the box and are powering the Switch itself through an old iPhone charger hooked up through a daisy chain of dodgy Chinese battery packs.

Well there's no documentation about how this poo poo sets up. So I looked at the dock and thought "that looks like a secret panel I can open." I then inspected it closer to confirm there was no visible HDMI ports, so I looked at the hatch again and popped it open. I was nervous about breaking something! I have everything figured out now. Also...

This cannot be worse than the screwing confusion that arose when the New 3DS launched.

Did you mean to make that post, or were you just pushing keys at random?

strange feelings re Daisy posted:

Does anyone know anything about Dragon Fang Z? Googling is failing to turn up anything for me but a brief description and a trailer. The idea of a true roguelike on the Switch has certainly got my interest.

I can tell you that if feels machine translated, but if you've played a traditional roguelike before then you know what to expect and are getting exactly that. I've made it about halfway down according to the game's own progress log, and the speed with which I can boot up and start a run means I've put more time into it this week than Gungeon.
Skills come in the form of "fangs" that drop randomly from monsters, and you can equip them to use later (once they've charged up) or spend them immediately for an immediate benefit.
There's also a "brave" system for weapons that I haven't wrapped my head around fully yet, but it seems like you can accrue points by standing in place during combat to unlock certain abilities on weapons, and those points diminish once you start moving again. Maybe.
There are monster houses and items with random effects (different magical rods, in this case), and ranged monsters can accidentally kill each other while trying to kill you, causing them to evolve. Things can get pretty hectic, but it feels good to use every item in your inventory to power through a bullshit situation.
There's also a sort of puzzle room mode that tests your understanding of the game's systems by requiring you to follow certain steps in order to reach the stairs alive.

I'm enjoying my time with it and haven't had any issues aside from the quality of the translation sometimes getting in the way of item descriptions.

Yeah I ended up requesting a refund for it, that port is really rough. The game itself seems super cool though so maybe I'll play it on another platform one day

I'm debating whether to play both bayonettas over the holidays or wait for the Switch version and resell my wii u copy. It's still sealed, bought it a while ago but haven't gotten around to playing it.

I believe the Wii U version that includes the Bayonetta 1 disc is somewhat a collector’s item now. I’d keep it sealed, sell it, and wait for the Switch ones.

Perfect just ordered an amFilm one, thank you! Is there any must-have recommendations in terms of accessories if I am just planning on using this thing as a handheld?

A hard case is nice for being able to just toss it in a bag. I've been happy with the Hori Tough Pouch, especially with the little holder it has for the controller straps since the thing is pretty much made for short bursts of multiplayer. It comes in black, but I had to get the Splatoon one because cephalopods are awesome.

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
