That blew my mind. They're letting you use the kind of memory you can buy by the pound when the alternative is either proprietary horseshit like Sony or on-board and nothing else. What a dumb thing to complain about.

Complain about the garbage dock and the charge port being underneath. And the plastic screen. And for being the most fragile thing Nintendo has ever made. But don't complain about the fact that there's an SD slot.

Yeah do people really LIKE the apple model of $100 for 32gigs more? I always loved the android model of get whatev you want for however much you want.

I think its incredibly consumer friendly. Of course I always buy the lowest sized android model of a phone and upgrade memory with the market.

I hate asking this since I'm sure it's been discussed, but is it pretty much confirmed that the pro controller doesn't suffer from the same connectivity issue? I might pick one up if that's the case.

Its really solid and comfortable. Its antenna is much stronger. Buy the left joycon seems to really be hit or miss. Annoying inconsistant hardware.

I suggest trying the joycons in grip and it its acceptable wait to a sale or price drop.

Digging the Switch. Zelda is out of this world. It's unlike anything else. It creates such a sense of wonder, magic, and danger. These are those Nintendo experiences.

Haven't experienced too much slowdown when it's docked but what little I have has not affected my playing.

The left joycon has desynced once and I quickly realized it was because I was holding the controller grip in a stupid way. Glad I have a pro coming tomorrow because the grip is a bit awkward.

Snipperclips has got my girlfriend loving this thing. Might go out and see what amiibo interests me.

Not to excuse broken hardware. But anybody who's read any reviews of any electronics knows there's always a number of DOA units. Sucks but its the nature of things.

The annoying part is its hard to tell without months reviews or independent reports how bad it is. Like if you go to buy a video card from newegg is the 1 star poo poo broke reviews 5% or 20%?

But yeah must be Nintendo's fault because a thing that doesnt work right everywhere doesnt work right here.

By "critical path", do you mean the main quests? I've been trying to follow the main quests and I'm still getting destroyed left and right. Zelda hard :(

Yeah. I went to the oceanand fought stuff WAY above my level. Some shrines combat challanges that I literally could only chip damage the enemies with the most exotic weapons I had.

I now suspect its literally impossible to "race to the end game" because your weapons won't hurt things and will break instantly. I look forward to speed runs for this that will have to gather enough items to beat the game. Kind of like the 15 minute morowind runs.

But thats all speculation because in terrified of spoilering myself because thus game is all about what's around the next corner.

I had to press it three times but then it rumbled and turned on my TV and three A presses later I'm back where I was in Zelda. Hell yeah.

Look at the lights on the bottom. If they are flashing back and forth its searching for system. One solid light its connected. Hit any button if it system didnt show up on tv.

1 home press should bring up the press 3x screen (or bypass it if you started it with the same controller you slept it)

note snipperclips (and I assume other joycon only games) cuts of pro to the extent that it cant even connect to the system during it. You can't use the pro to go to the menu or sleep the system. Weird. Is switch limited to 4 controllers at once? you'd think I could be controller 5 to do menu work.

There's just no fuckin' way...

[edit for less whiny content]: Do I want some kind of right angle USB C charger or something? Please advise...

Its on the the bottom middle so a 90 usb c would balance the whole console on that. Its a really bad design. I think a case could fix it. But that's problematic with joycons removing.

Switch lite will have one onthe back I bet.

The port is on the bottom so it can dock, and so there is space on top for the fans. we had this discussion like three pages ago guys. The switch can charge in its two most used positions.

It wouldnt have been hard to engineer it with contacts like the wiiu tablet(which could dock and had an alternate charging port). So it worked in all 3 advertized play modes.

But since you talked about it already I guess its a settled matter and everything is forgiven.
