Just got an email from Best Buy saying my Switch has been delayed until next week after telling me it was going to come tomorrow.

Grimes posted:Careful sliding the switch in the dock, I guess, or get a screen protector. Why did they make the screen plastic? WTF. Now I have to be absurdly careful each time I want to play on the TV. Feenix posted:I will tell you. I'm excited that Zelda is so good, apparently... but as someone who has not owned nor played a Nintendo, really, since the SuperNES days, and as a dad of small kids... I'm pretty amped for Mario Kart. You're in for a treat. Vanilla Mario Kart 8 was already the best Mario Kart.

It really impressed me that putting it in the dock automatically turns on my tv while pulling it out automatically turns it off. I didn't know about that feature.

What's the recommended Switch case? I want to take this thing out of the house.

I love that I can put games into sleep mode at any time and jump right back into them right away.

Inzombiac posted:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MR63I6F/ref=ya_st_dp_summary Can you comfortably put a usb cord and some games in it? I'll probably go with this one since the official one seems to be sold out everywhere. I bought a pro controller but I'll probably sell it on eBay or return it since I don't really have a need for one yet and snapping the joy cons in and out is half the fun. I'll wait until games that pretty much require a dpad come out.

Inzombiac posted:Ehhh, it seems like it is just for the main unit. You'd be tossing it in a backpack or something right? Like you wouldn't just be carrying around that case by itself? Yeah. I don't mind just throwing the cable in something else since if I was taking it somewhere where I'd play handheld for more than 3 hours, I'd probably have another bag anyway. I'll go with this one. Hori is quality.

Beastie posted:I hate when the Blood Moon comes and those stories sound frustrating but I guess the developers succeeded in making us fear a game mechanic. I like the mechanic but I'm surprised you can't skip the cutscene when the game is really good about letting you skipping most repetitive cutscenes otherwise. I just defeated the Lynel near Zora's Domain and I had to use almost everything I had to kill him and than the Blood Moon rose literally right after I killed him.  It's cool to finally see them in a 3D Zelda. They used to scare the poo poo out of me in Zelda 1 and LTTP. The redesign looks rad as gently caress as well.

Tried a friend's pro controller and it's so nice and pairs to PC easily without a dongle like the Wii U needed. I still think I'll wait until a dpad heavy game like Mario Maker comes though. $70 is a little nuts even with the motion stuff inside.parallelodad posted:The entire aesthetic and style of Binding of Isaac, I just find so off-putting I've never had any desire to play it. I wish that company could make a game not about bloody poop bible fetuses. Check out Enter The Gungeon. I think it's coming to Switch soon.

chaleski posted:Mother of God MK8 Deluxe looks incredible, I think that might be the tipping point for me getting a Switch As someone that already put a ridiculous amount of time into vanilla MK8, it will be well worth it and I can't wait to put all that time into Deluxe again.  Wiltsghost posted:Highly recommend the switch pro controller. This thing is comfortable. Agree but is it just me or does anyone else think it has ridiculously large face buttons? They're comfortable though and I love how simple it is to connect it to a pc.

How does grabbing stuff from a different region work? Can I switch my account to grab a demo and switch back or do I need to make a new account?

The battle mode in Deluxe looks better than I expected with all those modes. Renegade Roundup looks like it'll be fun as gently caress.

Who cares about warranty when it would probably be up by the time you would need to replace the battery anyway. If it isn't, then just have Nintendo replace it.

Fast RMX is really good and you should all get it since it's only $20. It's super impressive, especially for a launch indie title.

Dr. VooDoo posted:It really is a great arcade racer. Right down to the announcer being perfect too. This would be in a cabinet with big speakers, a rumbling seat, and lots of pulsing neon. When you get your first full bar boost uninterrupted and just go it gives an amazing sense of speed Fun fact: It has the same announcer as F-Zero GX.

XyrlocShammypants posted:What should I get next fam, Voez or Binding of Isaac. I have like every other game already except Setusna since I have no interest in it Isaac. It's an amazing game with literally over 1000 hours of gameplay. It has a really hosed up theme though so make sure that doesn't bother you first.

The Wii U was a good system with many great games that I hope get ported to the Switch.

EpicNemesis posted:I was disappointed with Fast RMX but that might be because I suck at it and can't be assed to learn it when zelda exists. Beating Zelda this weekend and now I'm deciding if its worth breaking into it more or just buying shovel knights since I have yet to play it (or really have any idea what the game plays like, I just know everyone loves it). Shovel Knight plays kinda like a combination of Mega Man and Castlevania but without feeling a ripoff of either. It's a fantastic game that captures the spirit of the best parts of 8bit platformers in general.

FireMrshlBill posted:Even though those pro controllers are fake (I'd hope nintendo would add more color to them than just that center piece), people are going to make shells for them, so just swap them yourself. I saw "The Curious Consumer" youtube vid where he took one apart and swapped the d-pad and analog stick domes for those magnetic swappable Xbox Elite controller ones so he could swap between a dpad and thumbpad. Looked easy enough to break down and put back together. Why would anyone replace the good dpad with a bad dpad? It's pretty much the best reason to even get a pro controller.

Deltron 3030 posted:You know how Zelda alone is worth buying a Switch? I'm pretty sure Splatoon 2 will fit that mold.  It's easily my favorite multiplayer shooter in a long rear end time and I hope more people that missed out on Wii U get to try it. Just Zelda, Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey alone is a better first year than I could remember for any other system. I don't know why the Switch is getting, seemingly, more criticism for that.

romanowski posted:people who don't like gyro aiming are wrong and should feel embarrassed about themselves I didn't like gyro at first in Splatoon 1 but once you get used to it, it makes every other duel stick shooter control scheme feel like poo poo. The key, for me at least, is to make broad movements with the second stick for and use the motion precise aiming. SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Mar 24, 2017 |

If Splatoon 2's campaign is anything like 1s than I would suggest playing the campaign with gyro. It taught me on 1 and made me realize my motion control criticism was wrong.

I'm going through some older areas again before I set off on my 3rd divine beast and holy poo poo there's so much I've missed. I love how they somehow gave the game a open air barren tone while having a really dense world at the same time

There's no auto aim unlike most console shooters so I could see dual analog only players still having some issues.

Tried playing Zelda and Splatoon with separated joy cons today and it's weird and awkward to me. Not sure I'll get used to it but I love having the option.
