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


USB-C has multiple different profiles and what the charger supports can be variable, so it's always good to check the specs of the charger.

Standard are
5v
9v
15v
20v


All of these can go up to 3 amps but aren't required to go up to three amps and charger can also support whichever voltages that the maker wants. There's also a 12v profile that some devices and chargers support.

The OEM switch adapter is rated for 15v@2.6a and 5v@1.5a.

So, to drive the dock, you would typically need a 45w adapter that includes the 15v@3a profile. Otherwise, you can only charge the switch itself.

If your adapter doesn't have a 15v profile, the switch will only charge at 7.5watts (5v@1.5a). So, you can have a 27watt adapter (typically supporting 5v@3a and 9v@3a) and it will still only charge at 7.5watts and won't be able to power the dock.

The pro controller comes with an A-C cable which naturally limits charge rate. Its input rating is 5v@0.5A. Nearly anything USB should be able to charge it, but I guess there could be some signaling issues with some types of power sources (like hubs) causing it not to charge. It may be tricked into data only mode when connected to a hub.

I don't know much about street fighter, but I assumed that the character was some sort of grappler cause the fight has Diddy using his jumping grab special primarily.

Yeah, I meant to say high ranks is a genuine challenge but until world 3 even high rank is easy. After that it's challenging and really, really good. Even before that it's really fun. I was really surprised because I hated rabbids (and still do in fact). The only downside is that you're forced to take at least one rabbid in your team.

If you wouldn't voluntarily include rabbid Luigi on every team you have no business playing a tactics game

I imagine the pronunciation of Deejay is Japan is something like Dee dee-ay, Diddy representing him because of the similar name

ONE YEAR LATER posted:

I would legit pay upwards of $100 American dollars to get a digital collection of the entire run of Nintendo Power. I never had a subscription as a kid and only grabbed random issues when I could afford it or if a friend had extra, a full physical collection is one of those dream things I'd buy if I had unlimited space, money, and time.

Honestly, I don't know why Nintendo hasn't put up this kind of deal yet. I guess there isn't much interest though - the physical issues at least are a very hard sell. They sit around in game shops pretty much forever. I picked up about 25 issues from this one shop for around $80 (not a bad price, the other place I went to charged eBay price per issue instead of a bulk price - at least I got to save on shipping - though they also did a bulk discount after of about $30 off) and they remembered me from literally over two years ago as the person who had bought a whole bunch from them before as well, even though I've literally changed my hair and glasses completely since then. I asked, "Has anyone else come in and bought a whole bunch besides me since then?" and he said nope! And mind you, this is in Columbus, Ohio, so not a small town. I live two and a half hours away so it's a long trip to make for these but it's worth it to be able to pick out individual issues instead of buying lots on eBay where nine times out of ten these days I have all but one or two of the issues in the lot already, or where I'm paying exorbitant fees for single issues, plus shipping, and no bulk discounts.

I don't have unlimited space, which is a definite problem, and I don't have unlimited money, though I shared a few of my strategies for minimizing costs above (like I said, that one shop sells any issue to me for literally around $3... I think I've gotten something like 85 issues from them for that price), but I do have pretty much unlimited time. I'm not trying to do this by a certain date or anything. It's a fully attainable thing, there are a set number of issues and it's not too massive, only 285. I've never wanted a full library for any of my consoles (except Virtual Boy, because it's easy) (I'm not crazy) but Nintendo Power? That's something that has a lot of hold over me as a huge fan of the company, of print media, and of video game history.

Mr. Sandman can be interpreted as an innocent decision as DK is often the fighter of choice to represent big punchy boys, but still this:

If you really want to give them the benefit of the doubt, you could construe that the black villager character was an attempt to get the general color pallette/tone between the spirit and the fighter match as closely as possible

And you do fight DK in the latest punch out, even if yeah it's still a big oversight that could have been nipped

There isn't a whole lot of discussion about it on the internet probably because the kind of people who talk about Nintendo things on the internet aren't its target market. Its sales have been somewhat disappointing but I don't think it's in "big failure" levels.

Apparently the Villager used in that fight had his skintone changed to black in a later build. So that one might have been an oversight.

But the other cases? Totally malice. One case of this (Mr. Game and Watch's old feather, which got patched out.) could be argued as "ignorance", but multiple cases is just malice.

And considering that this was a boss that in a game that Sakurai directed:
