The dock needs a charger that meets PD standard, the switch itself can charge off of any usb charger more than 1 watt Whether there's some hidden off-standards thing nobody knows about lying in wait to brick your switch if you use the wrong charger, nobody can say. It's not likely, but it has happened once already

Woooo! Just got a SWOLED, and I'll be selling my regular (and regularly overhesting) switch to gamestop. I'm currently transferring my account info as well as my wife's. I have a question though, my sons each have supervised child accounts no email address associated with them. How do I transfer those over? They're supervised under my main account (and a part of our family plan), and I'm not yet finished moving my account over; will the option be there for that? Edit: nm, it allows for a Nintendo ID, which works for me. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Aug 6, 2022 |

If you're looking to charge the Switch itself and not use it with the Dock them most any third-party PD charger will be fine and most will be smaller (and even cheaper) than the OEM one. Read this page. If you're looking to replace the Switch Dock then get the Genki Cover Dock.

Sakurazuka posted:Lol mixed sex bathing is not a normal thing in Japan and that scene in XBC3 exists to make people playing go 'huh this is not normal what's going on here?' Oh, you misunderstood, I said mixed baths exist, but I guess I thought they existed a bit more than that. Weird since I did go to Japan to some communal baths (which yeah were gender separated) so yeah ooops sorry for the bad wording.

If you want a Dock with a built-in Ethernet port and the switch just has to match it In other words, no (I too use it almost exclusively in Docked and have no reason to upgrade to OLED) The Maroon Hawk fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Aug 7, 2022 |

Incorrect! You'll very likely NOT overheat your switch.  For real, though, it's likely going to get me playing undocked way more going forward. Fuuuuuuck, this screen looks so good. Oh, also, it's got 64gb onboard memory. Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Aug 6, 2022 |

Lol I forgot the onboard memory was only 32 gigs If you trade it in and buy the new one then and there, they should give you some time to do the transfer if you ask

SettingSun posted:I don't play my Switch handheld if I can avoid it. Are there other perks for upgrading my aging Switch to the OLED version? Not really, all the perks for the OLED version are for handheld (better battery, fancier screen), with the only other difference being the OLED dock having an ethernet port (which you can get a USB adapter for $10-$20 so uh, not worth it just for that).

I asked the rep on the phone, initially, about how I'd go about transferring my stuff and they said "you'd have to take that up with Nintendo." So I looked up some videos, and while it was definitely easy, it wasn't that quick. Ah well, I'll sell this one for something I guess.

They usually give you a good deal on a trade in specifically for upgrade purposes. I got $200 for my ancient jet engine PS4 to put towards a brand new $300 Xbox One X. The only time this wouldn't be a good deal for you would be if you have a launch year(~) Switch, which is hackable and sells for $300+ in poor condition on eBay.

Nintendo was pretty quick to alter the Switch to fix the vulnerability. There was a brief run of Switches before prior to the one with the better battery life that were unhackable.

I'm have a fairly mint XAW1006 Switch. That means it's definitely moddable, right? I should probably flip it before it loses its value.

you should keep your moddable switch and mod it yourself. It rules.

Low frame rate games are going to look studdery on any display. Edit: The SWOLED screen is an all around upgrade. It just makes the image look a lot crisper and colors pop. It's still a 60hz 720p screen, but there isn't anything it does worse than the LCD screens of the older models. Detective No. 27 fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Aug 7, 2022 |

Modded Switches let you use homebrew, emulation of older games, let you install Linux and Android, and opens up options like streaming games from your PC. Also piracy. If none of that interests you or you have a Steam Deck or whatever, there's no point in modding for any of that besides maybe the homebrew and piracy.
