I want to use my Bluetooth headphones with my switch. USB isn't an option as I'm using all three ports for Smash Bros.

Please tell me what to buy, goons.

Something like this would work :

I've used one in my car. The battery stays charged for what felt like a long time. But it works either off battery or plugged in to charge. Its fairly small, but would just plug into your headphone jack.

Well, that's GRIS off the table.

I was underwhelmed but I'll admit it's pretty. It took me a while to appreciate the animation though, honestly it only hit me in the game's final sequence. Almost inspires me to get Cuphead, another game whose graphics I adore (as well as the music), though the bit of gameplay I've played doesn't really do much for me.

GRIS plays fine, but there's not much there. Someone said it's encourages you to explore but I think it's the complete opposite. Everything looks so foreign I was never really sure if I was in the same place or not and I felt that I was very much rail-roaded through certain paths.

I guess for 10 euro it was worth it, but even then. It's not a game I'd recommend unless you really want some nice art, and then only if you have the set-up made to appreciate it, which I certainly didn't.

In that regard I don't think it's a good Switch game, the spectacle is too small handheld, and you can probably make it look nicer on a more powerful console, though I wouldn't know, all I've got is the Switch.

Great I'll blitz through that.

But in that case what are the things to unlock and how? I know I can look it up on Gamefaqs, but this is more fun.

Also, just "beat" Celeste Ch 9. I really wanted to see the story. It kinda undoes some of the main story's stuff, but it's still a nice portrayal of what happens in our minds, I guess. Thanks assist mode. I quit two screens before the Heart and was already at 1247 deaths before just assisting myself with some invincibility. I can wave-dash OK it turns out. I did actually manage to do one of the later screens all on my own for a bit which was thrilling, but I'd need to replay the whole game and top it off with Ch 9 to ever really do it. Considering I've only gone through the first two C-sides, it may be some time.

I would love a whole game in the animation style of the final cutscene though. That's some wholesome art.

If you're not kneecapping and suplexing every enemy you meet without stopping forward momentum you're doing it wrong.

Mine was 307 hours across 34 games, led by Fire Emblem. It's funny how my monthly hours align with my feelings that the first-half of the year didn't have many great Switch releases but the back-half was stacked.

I am not an expert but I think USB is the only option. Maybe a really long headphone wire?

Headphone wire isn't an option in this specific case, but excellent suggestion.

There are devices which use the headphone jack and pair with a Bluetooth device. These vary widely in quality and support. This is what I was hoping someone here would have a specific recommendation for.

Thanks for all who suggested a USB hub. Great idea.


Edit: Didn't see Deong's post before. This is just the kind of thing I'm looking for. Thanks. :)

Outcast and Academy are the easiest to understand and I think the best in the series.

Academy got some heat when it came out because of the mission structure and the fact you could go darkside.

In reality, it loving rules and I'm pumped to buy it again.
