But the only reason I use it on my iphone is for music and audiobooks, which don't require it to be in sync. I mean it's awful sometimes and drops out randomly if I like swing my arm past my phone sometimes, but it's handy for simple things. I just can't see pairing my headset to my switch and carrying two headsets around. (I know you can pair a device to multiple bluetooth devices depending on the device, and mine supports it, but has anyone REALLY gotten that to work well?)

I said no one complained about the iPhone not that the bluetooths have no issues. If your having issues of course your going to look it up to try and fix it. Doesn’t mean you blame your iPhone.

I use my AirPods on PC and don't notice any lag. I've tried lovely knockoff earbuds before and they lag like crazy.

I still can't believe people are so against 3.5 earbuds. Even a lovely 10 dollar set will have far superior audio than anything on Bluetooth. And you don't even have to charge them!

Yeah I have some extremely decent IEMs that are as good for the Switch as they are for anything, and cheaper than most Bluetooth solutions.

From personal experience (granted, only up to 250 dollar Bluetooth headphones) this is absolutely the case. Wired is going to beat wireless every time, you're going to lose fidelity converting a signal to digital. It's the same concept of wired internet vs wireless but you don't even have 5Ghz to save that.

They should loving make 5 GHz headsets instead of further ruining 2.4 with Bluetooth and its FHSS nonsense. It's a garbage protocol.

I have decent Sony Bluetooth headphones that definitely sound miles better than the incredibly cheap plastic wired earbuds my bank gave away free to children :colbert:

I think my AirPods sound really good and they’ve never lost connection even once. I read that Apple has some proprietary tech that augments the bluetooth, it seems to work well.

Gekido Kitaro's Revenge is the only game I regret purchasing. It should be a fantastic game, old school classic beatem up with a visual upgrade with a full campaign and 2 other separate modes, including a roguelite mode where you hunt down treasures in a randomly built town. But the animations for the enemies are so overpowered, it's not fun to play as they get priority over all your attacks.

Please buy it.

Thanks for the recommendation. That one is a bit pricier on Amazon.ca but I got this one that seems pretty much the same: https://www.amazon.ca/Funturbo-Nintendo-Multi-Angle-Adjustable-Compatible/dp/B07CGCL449. It is awesome and now I am sitting at my desk playing Mario+Rabbids with the Pro Controller.

It's all right. It's a serviceable brawler if you're really thirsty for a brawler but it doesn't hold up to it's blatant inspiration (Guardian Heroes) nor some the other options you have available on other consoles. It might be the best on Switch but it's very much a 'default' kind of scenario.

I've noticed a lot of people just immediately writing Blade Strangers off. I'm not saying it's just because the game prominently features more female characters than male. But,

I feel like that's most fighting games. in my opinion it's because it looks ugly as hell and iirc the dev doesn't have any track record on fighting games. I'll probably get it anyway though

I'm torn on Torna, on one hand the gameplay was fun enough that I'm down for more, but I feel like they pretty much covered the plot in the main game. Like how many more times do you need to fight Malos.

I dunno but does it help you to know that you get to play as Siren when you fight him this time? :v:

The story is supposed to be a fair bit different in terms of structure and tone according to what they've said on the treehouses, so even if you know the major plot beats it seems like it should be pretty interesting. Definitely going to be hella :smith: though. They also cut out a bunch of the most tedious stuff from XC2 (no more gacha, merc missions, town development, and by extension that means no more class system, and field checks are massively streamlined since there's no party shuffling). And instead there's a new Community system which looks more like the XC1 NPC affinity tree (sorta), and a new camping system which lets you chat with party members and craft stuff.

All that stuff plus the heavily revised combat system has got me pretty excited about it.

It’s more that it’s a indie mascot fighter, which isn’t something that really would have people champing at the bit, and the most prominently featured characters have... prominent features and not much else going for them, while the interesting characters (Shovel Knight) are literally delegated to the background.

The people who like mascot fighters are already distracted by Smash, and the people who like anime tiddies are distracted by SNK Heroines, so yeah, not much of a poo poo being given about Blade Strangers.
