Will there be a trackmania for Switch? I have both trackmania games for the DS and they are great but the resolution is bad.

I got Forza 3 at a midnight release. Some guy asked for my gamertag. I said I don't play online and then left as soon as I got my game.

I really wish Nintendo would take 20% off of digital titles. I'm gonna pre-order Splatoon2 but that is a game I would rather have digital on my Switch since I would probably play it periodically while playing through another title. I hate switching game carts, but can't argue with the 20% I will get off from Amazon Prime.

Especially since when you buy a digital version, you don't even get to put it in your mouth.

UPS shipping goons: UPS is allowing me to select to pick up the package from a UPS Store instead of having it randomly delivered sometime tomorrow. Google tells me it is usually available at 8:30AM the day of scheduled delivery, but the "estimated delivery date" when I go to select a store says Monday.

Does anyone know how this works?

On UPS, it says you need to do it before the day of delivery. Since it is so late, it might as well be the day of delivery. It's already on a truck to be delivered to you and the driver will just get a notification to skip your delivery and they'll take it off the truck and deliver it to a store on Monday.

Switching my Zelda delivery to a UPS store was a great choice. Got it at 10:30. Except I have nothing to play it in because the Amazon van is somewhere out there with it and it I probably won't see it until this afternoon. Also, god drat this box is huge.

Amazon takes its sweet loving time whenever they deliver things to me. I drove around to see if I could find pro controllers anywhere. I called a Walmart that had one but it was gone by the time I got there. Target had three Zelda special editions but I already have one of those.

Fake edit: While typing this post, Amazon showed up with my switch.

I haven't played any Zelda yet. I'll crack that open after dinner tonight. I played a bit of Fast RMX. It's really fun but I'm going to need some practice to not hit the walls all the drat time. It looks REAAALLY good and is super fun. After seeing that picture, I ordered the glass protector on amazon. Also, they just restocked pro controllers. Gonna have on on Monday. Haven't had issues with the joycons. Put them in the included grip and sat on my bed several feet away with no sync issues.

Your TV's wifi is messing up bluetooth, assuming this is what's doing it, because they're both in the same 2.4Ghz range with your microwave and all of it stomps on each other. I had an issue with my work laptop's connection turning to crap if I put my wifi enabled cell phone too close it it.

This is a thing. If anyone uses 2.4Ghz wifi, it's going to interfere with bluetooth.

You don't already own any Switch virtual console titles though. You won't have to pay a dollar to rebuy Switch virtual console titles.

There may be a discount on Switch virtual console titles that correspond to 3DS or Wii/Wii U virtual console titles registered to your account though.

Who is forcing you to buy a game? If you are being held hostage or are otherwise being forcibly coerced, try to call the police.

Otherwise, you are not being forced to buy any games, let alone 2 separate ports of a retro title.

I don't know why you chose this as your hill to die on. Do you own stock in Virtual Console games or something? Nintendo sells us access to ROMs they downloaded from the internet and then wants us to pay again for those same ROMs. That's dumb.

Same rom, different emulation. Buying an Xbox One game doesn't entitle you to the PS4 version; why should buying a Wii U game entitle you to a Switch version?

That's the worst argument you can make as buying an Xbox 360 game (digitally) entitles me to download and play it on the Xbox One for free (assuming it is backwards compatible).

What??

People have looked at NES virtual console files and have found they have iNES headers. An iNES header is something that was created by the guy who made the first NES emulator to handle how to read NES ROMs as NES carts all have different methods of running the game. Some have multiple ROMs, some have custom chips. The iNES header would tell the emulator how to run it. That this is found in official ROMs sold by Nintendo means they (or someone they contracted) downloaded ROM dumps from the internet (or at the very least, did their own ROM dumps and used a format that they claim supports piracy).

In other news. I made a Japanese account and downloaded the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo. It's pretty cool. The google translate of what the buttons mean is hilarious. One of them set "soft and flabby" which I assume was an easy difficulty.

I managed to snag a switch on Nintendo UK last night, and now I've got the post-order twitch to constantly check the shipping status. It says next day delivery but the estimated dispatch date is the 7th.

I'd really like it to be more accurate so that I can plan my sick day accordingly

They probably won't ship until Monday and it will get there the next day.

If Nintendo doesn't want the switch to be everyone's #1 console that's a pretty big fundamental problem at their company.

The reason people have adopted their consoles as a side bit to their PS4s and Xboxes is because of Nintendo's previous failures and engagement gap.

Nintendo wants the Switch to be someone's Nintendo console. If they wanted to be a main console, they would have made an xbox or playstation. They made a Nintendo console and it might as well be a separate thing.

You can't even use kickstand mode in 'Flight Mode' because that disables wireless control. It'd be fine on a train or whatever, but unless you're splitscreening you're probably best just picking up the Switch

Airplane mode is just for when the plane it taking off and landing. You can turn your bluetooth and wifi back on once the plane is flying.

Use the gyro aiming with arrows. Use the joystick to get to the right area and then use gyro aiming to dial it in. I can't aim for poo poo with a joystick but the gyro lets me hit what I want to hit.

I kind of goofed the install of my screen protector. Ended up putting it down too fast and got a bubble in the middle. fixed that and got it good but then somehow had a dust spec on the other end of the thing. Fixed that but screwed up the adhesive in the corner in the process. I'll try with the hot shower thing later with the second protector. My mom's phone was a lot easier to do than this. In any case, it's on and is protecting my screen from the dock. I had some smudging on the screen. While some people are getting full on scratches somehow, mine looked like some other people's "scratches" that were where they dock seems to grab the bottom of the screen. I think these are just rubber smudges as they buffed right out with a microfiber cloth. The screwed up corner doesn't reach the actual display so no harm no foul, I'll reapply a new one at a later time. I just wanted to get the screen protected.

I think either way, they will flop. Anyone who wants the latest sports game will get it on Xbox or PS4. Anyone who gets the Switch version either isn't serious about sports games or they are a kid and the Switch is their only console and they sort of like sports games.

Yeah, I also have this screen protector and it's good. I had an issue putting the first one on but the second one nailed it. I'm pretty sure the manufacturer will send a replacement for the one I hosed up on, too.

EDIT: Just watch out for cracking them. My brother texted me earlier and told me how he accidentally dropped the package and the two screen protectors cracked.

YMMV of course but the package specifically states they have a lifetime warranty. They will do one free replacement if it ever breaks.

If you're going off brickseek and you haven't actually gone to the store, then they aren't there. Brickseek seems to just say how many were sent to each store. I drove around based on brickseek info to find a pro controller and they were all sold out.

So the joycon uses gyro controls instead of the wiimote method of IR pointer AND gyros...right? So unless they made some mysterious advances I would expect the joycon to be not as good for pointing since the I think main problem with gyros is they lose calibration very easily. But the joycon seems to work alright for aiming in botw.

What with the ir light on the back of the joycon and why is it there/pointing the wrong way ?

Curious about all this because I haven't heard a firm answer on whether they could make something like skyward sword or sm galaxy work on this console

Skyward Sword would work just fine on Switch. It never used the sensor bar and the joycons have to have more accurate gyros than wii motion plus. Most Wii games would probably work as well. They could make a Twilight Princess with Wii controls that work on the switch. Everything in TP was either waggle controls or short bursts of aiming at the screen which can be emulated by the gyros as seen with Skyward Sword.

So I know there's been some fraudulent memory sold on Amazon. Is sold by _______ company but "fulfilled by Amazon" a safer way of getting quality legit product and/or good return service if it's phony?

All that means is the seller sent that product to an Amazon fulfillment center. If they have a fakes that look like they are real, I doubt Amazon would notice when putting it into their system. Your best bet is to find something "shipped and sold by Amazon."

There is a camera. The right joycon as an IR camera so Nintendo can record you pooping.
