I actually planned to order pizza this weekend so I could get maximum Zeldaing in but now I'm kinda put off by that picture, tbh.

An Amazon truck overturned today in Nashville, spilling packages out onto the interstate. So if you're in the South and delayed suddenly, welp.

InFlames235 posted:Looks like they definitely haven't fixed it yet then. Hopefully people from earlier in the thread were right that they can increase the maximum range of these things with a firmware update since ,supposedly, they set them purposefully lower than they could go for better battery life. It's in the hardware per FCC filings. Nothing to do with software. If I understood that post correctly which I might not have!

katkillad2 posted:Am I the only one having issues getting this thing connected to the internet? When running the setup it kept saying it couldn't obtain my IP, so I put everything in manually as best as I could. It says it connected, but when trying to do the system update it keeps saying can't communicate with the server... Power cycle it and try again. The servers are also likely getting hammered right now.

Feenix posted:I'm afraid. I have big hands and the Vita never felt comfy to me. I don't have huge hands, but I am a Grown Adult Man, and I used the Joycons to set the console up and then immediately synced my Pro controller. I don't think I'll ever use the Joycons unless it's for multiplayer, or for the few times it will go on a trip with me. The Pro controller is, by far, the best controller a Nintendo console has had since the SNES. I with the Y button wasn't so close to the right analog stick, and the back could be a little more contoured, but it's still a great controller. Played an hour of Zelda, game is wonderful. Currently downloading Shovel Knight and I am Setsuna. Will have funds available in my account for when Blaster Master Zero hits the eShop. This weekend is gonna be great.

enojy posted:Are there any good hard cases for this thing yet? Seems like every case so far has problems. I just bought the Traveler from Walmart. It's not hard, but tough enough that I won't worry about it tossed into a backpack. Also comes with two plastic cases to hold game cards, seems decent.

Just did a stage of Shovel Knight on portable using the button d-pad-- worked a lot better than I was fearing. I thought it would be nigh unusable, but the buttons are so shallow that it's just a bit awkward instead.

I didn't even unwrap my joycon bumpers 'cause using joycons separately are for chumps or people with multiplayer games.Tender Bender posted:I have a ton of cheap microfiber cloths for my glasses and devices, any reason why it would be a bad idea to cut one up and use doublesided tape to stick scraps to the parts of the dock that make contact with the switch? Might get hot down there, maybe that could get funky? You could also just accept that a device you use everyday with your hands is going to get some superficial wear and tear and not stress over it.

Checking howlongtobeat and I am Setsuna. is 20 hours? Feel better about the pricetag now, at least. I'm an hour in, but I love Chrono Trigger, so I'm enjoying it so far.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:I know people were saying their system drains power faster than it can keep up using the charger while playing Zelda? I have been playing Zelda in handheld more for 2 hours now using the charger and it has been at 100% the whole time. I have the screen brightness up pretty high and auto brightness turned off. I have wifi off; not sure if that is why I can accomplish this. What? Why would this happen? I've been binging Zelda docked without dropping a single point in battery. Maybe they meant off a different charger.

FireMrshlBill posted:Oh man, I was doing a Google image search on the dock to get a better look at the rails (too lazy to walk upstairs and look at mine) and the number of images that had text "wondering" if the dock would have its own GPU for a better TV mode.... at their price tag for a dock, you would expect there to be one and usb-c has the data transfer rate to support an external gpu.... I'd pay $99 for a "Pro" dock with better gpu for TV mode. Though I can see issues going between TV mode and handheld mode with it not reverting properly to lower graphics or freezing. They would have to design games to use that extra GPU dock, which they haven't and won't, because why spend money on that dev time for something the majority of your userbase won't have? Not to mention the dock as-is retails for $90 (60 for the dock, 30 for the included AC adaptor), so you're kind of fooling yourself they'd toss another GPU in there for $99.

Wiltsghost posted:Highly recommend the switch pro controller. This thing is comfortable. It would be perfect if the Y and B buttons weren't so close to the right analog stick, but yeah, definitely the best controller they've made since the SNES pad. And before anyone corrects this, Wii Classic controller had the dumb Gamecube octagonal gates and the Wii U Pro controller's right stick was in the wrong place. Also the GC controller was dumb and bad, I know one of you goofballs would pick that one.

Q_res posted:Really? Because I've spent most of the game blown away by how much it reminds me of the original... Yeah I have a feeling most of the people saying that came in with Ocarina. This game has so many enemies from the first game, it's great. Not to mention the moment to moment wide open exploration from the very first game.

LODGE NORTH posted:Does anyone have a problem with the B button either not working or thinking it's aways pressed? In Zelda, there are time where Link will run until the stamina goes away and then if I press the + symbol, I can't exit the menu. I'm thinking there's a flaw with the Joy Con but if there's a fix short of actually buying a whole new set, I'll do that. First I've heard of this one, might be worth it to get into contact with Nintendo's customer support.

InFlames235 posted:Just played a good 5 hours of Zelda and being able to go into a much higher level place than I should be and find a way to survive is why I love this game. It's seriously as open as you want it to be and, even though it's really tough, you can definitely beat almost anything at any time you want. I'm looking forward to someone going straight to the final boss and defeating it with a stick The first thing I'm doing after the credits roll for me is YouTubing just that
