I'm officially in line at Best Buy. Apparently they got like 100 in stock. Quite a line, but far from that number. Godspeed all you goons out there looking for a switch tonight. Wish me luck!

Hey so why is the wifi on this thing such poo poo? It won't find my network half the time, and when it does, the connection is so slow and unstable that I can't even update the console.

I'm never going to play this thing undocked, so it's sad to see that it's not a very good TV console. Starting to feel a little buyer's remorse. Zelda is good and all, but I could've played it on Wii U and been fine I guess. Damned if I don't want Mario Odyssey though.

Internet Kraken posted:Why is it bad as a TV console? Because it looks and runs better undocked, apparently. Which is cool and all except the battery life is poo poo, and I have no interest in taking this thing on the road anyway.

Soul Glo posted:The framerate on Zelda is worse docked because it upscales from 720 to 900 Like, I kind of expected native 1080p at this point. C'mon Nintendo, what are we doing here? I guess my beef is that this thing really doesn't serve well as a handheld OR a console. Both sides are compromised.

My hot take on the Switch so far is that it's gimped as a TV console because it's spec'd to be a handheld, yet it only has like 3 hours of battery life so what's the point. Therefore it's not great at being either one. I hope time proves me wrong but man Zelda ain't even runnin' at 1080p and gets slowdown in TV mode. I'm perfectly happy to just leave this thing docked and only use it as a TV console but it's sad to see that games might not run as well on that mode. Even the home menu is 720p. Oh also the joycons are rear end. Good thing I picked up a way overpriced pro controller.

Well, I beat Zelda. Guess it's time to leave my Switch in sleep mode until Mario Kart comes out.

Mahoning posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Wii U have literally every Zelda game available on it? Between Virtual Console, remakes, and backward compatibility, that covers everything right? It didn't have the gameboy ones.

well why not posted:super weird that Link's Awakening isn't on it. It has eight other Zelda games in the VC. I just hope the VC on Switch isn't a trickle feed of releases like it had been on 3DS and Wii U. This is the console to start rolling on that service.

I wish this thing had Miiverse. Or streetpass. It feels so bare.

I do not want to have sex with the cartoon anthropomorphic dog. if we're laying it all out on the table in this here nintendo thread, I'd most def go on friendly platonic dates with her though.

8-bit Miniboss posted:Sort of a known issue. Power off your Switch completely (not sleep) and turn it back on. Tried that multiple times. Even stood right next to the router with the switch in hand and it couldn't find the son of a bitch. Finally tried changing the security type on the wifi and now it seems to find it. Geez.

I'm not interested in either of those games but I'm holding out hope that they'll announce something cool.

That direct sucked and nothing in it made me excited to own a 3DS or a Switch.

Out of that entire direct the only games I am going to buy are Mario Kart 8 and Street Fighter 2 and I've already played both of these games on other platforms in the past. Arms looks really bad. Splatoon is a no go because I'm not really in the market for a team based shooter. If I were to play Minecraft or Payday 2, Switch is certainly not the platform I would do it on. Other than that, get hype for Monopoly and Rayman Legends again I guess.

Bill Barber posted:I've cracked the code. You never leave your house and as such, are continually discounting the #1 thing that makes Switch versions of games extremely desirable; portability. I would be more excited about portability if the battery life was worth a drat, but as it is, it's not very effective as a portable system. Besides which, when I'm out and about, it's not usually to play video games. That's something I do when I'm at home. I'm glad there's people that are excited to play 2 hours of minecraft outside of their house, but I can understand people being pretty underwhelmed by what was shown today.

It's the year 2017, no console should be rolling 720p anymore, let alone the successor to the Wii U.

I bought Mario Kart 8 on release as well as all of its DLC and I traded it in so I could buy the Switch version when it comes out.

I'm going to buy Street Fighter II for the insane asking price, sorry in advance.

I think that during E3 Nintendo will announce the debut of VC titles on Switch with the surprise release of Mother 3, available on eShop right now!

Still heartbroken that the Switch doesn't have Miiverse. Can't believe they abandoned it immediately after introducing it.
