No, unfortunately. Have any Switch games been hinted at having that?

I want to say this was touted as a feature of the switch at some point, like as a bullet point at some presentation or another, but there's nothing to support its existence in the UI and no games support it as of yet, so I don't know that it's actually a thing that will ever exist. Modern AAA games are so large now that the whole concept seems ridiculous anyway.

Picked up a Switch yesterday, and the Headphone volume is painfully low.. Which really sucks, because the game I picked up first is Voez.

I assume this is an 'European Legislation' thing, like it is for Sony hardware. Is the volume likely so low because :

a) I bought an EU console?
b) I selected an EU region when I set it up? (I've changed the region in option to Japan, but no luck)
c) My headphones (Sony MDR-XB950) can't draw enough power from the console?

It's probably c since I haven't heard anything about issues otherwise. I use EarPods with my Switch and the volume is fine to me.

Even if I connect the headphone jack into a pair of mains-powered speakers, Voez is unplayable :ohdear:

I was going to say C but I don't know. Amazon says your headphones are 24ohm and my headphones are 64ohm and I don't really notice any volume difference between that and my earbuds from some old MP3 player. The max volume is at a comfortable level, not deafening. Maybe Nintendo did that to prevent kids from making themselves deaf by putting the volume too high. I don't have Voez so I don't know if it's too quiet or what.

I don't get big bang puyo puyo. With tetris, it's obvious. You place the piece into the piece shaped hole and the rows clear. With puyo puyo, it sometimes gives me a piece that won't do a bunch of combos. Then it clears one thing and says "MISS" and moves on. The point is to just beat the AI at all but the AI just racks up points and I die after one round because I can't figure out how I'm supposed to set off the chain or whatever.

Edit: Like this most recent one gave me a piece to set off a chain. But then at the end of the chain, it's 3 yellow puyos in a line on the right of the screen and then a bunch of singles stacked up on the left. I set off the initial chain but then it says "MISS" when it gets to the unchainable garbage at the end. Now I'm at 12k points and the AI is at 32k. I don't understand how I'm supposed to win this.

This is basically the same as what Funkmaster General posted but with picture examples

It's pretty bullshit when I can pick up the same game from the same publisher on PS4 for £18 from amazon. I'm sure I've read that it is in fact nintendo forcing publishers to price match digital and retail games, so because the retail is £35 as you get a couple of lovely keyrings, we now get to pay that much for digital thanks to nintendo's policy.

That policy is an invention of Eurogamer. The digital price in the us actually is lower.

Yes that and because I've never done it before and wanted to try. It's $52 so I saved $8 too.
