Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I honestly don't blame Sony fanboys for thinking the way they do. The Xbox One is a pretty big disappointment, although that's been changing recently, and the Wii U was very disappointing for most people as well. The Switch had a strong first year, but 2018 is significantly more low-key, although I expect that to change in 2019. Meanwhile, Sony has been banging out some fantastic exclusives, and they have more on the horizon that look incredible.

Every company has its ups and downs, but when it comes to this generation, Sony won by a landslide IMO. I don't necessarily expect that to last though, because both Microsoft and Nintendo are picking up steam.

Totally agree ^

Switch, (PS4 controller and PC as well) is getting a keyboard to connected the joy-cons.

@Knuckles-Fajita Just had a check on the Crash controller problem.

You're right, it can't be resolved by simply going to the controller menu. But I've found a bit of a workaround - while docked, go Controllers > Check Grip/Order to loose joycons. Then slide them back in, and undock.

Quite inconvenient but it works.

@Buizel The hell?

So the game doesn't talk to that part of the OS properly then. Why?

This is so dumb...

@KirbyTheVampire
I don't really disagree, I do think it's the best TV-only home console right now, but I would never assert my personal opinion on others as if it's undisputable fact. If someone else enjoys their Xbox and they love it and think it's the better system, then more power to them. And Switch is in a totally different league because it simply offers something different, so it just comes down to user preference and what you are looking for in a gaming device. Exclusives aside, I prefer the X1X due to games looking and running better, having a controller I like more and backward compatibility. Whether that's worth more than half a dozen extra really good exclusives... that's going to depend on who you ask.

At the end of the day I don't blame someone for thinking a certain console is the best. In fact I might even agree with them, to a certain extent. For example I do think PS4 is the best TV-only console. I don't think it's the best console in all to me, simply because I get far more use out of Nintendo Switch, and to be honest I like the exclusive games on Switch way more, even just in the short time it's been out. But I wouldn't say that as if it's a fact for everyone. I say that as a fact for myself, while still recognizing the value of other consoles. And that's what it all boils down to there- you can have an opinion and you can have a preference but A don't announce your opinion as undisputable fact for everyone as if user preference has no impact, and B don't act like just because you prefer something that it's the only console of any value and everything else is worthless.

Some people will prefer playing PS4, some people will prefer X1, some PC and some Switch. But as long as a person doesn't get a superiority complex where they think anyone who plays anything else has something wrong with them or is clearly inferior because of their preferences or what they value, or think that the hardware others play on is inferior simply because it doesn't cater to their own preferences... as long as the person doesn't do that then they are A-OK with me.

Idk what it is about humans, they always see the need to put down anything beyond their own preference. I'm even seeing it now with GPD Win 2 and Switch. I see the GPD fanboys knocking the Switch, saying how much better Win 2 is, and I see Nintendo fanboys knocking Win 2 because it apparently threatens the status of the Switch. It's like come on... do we have to pit every single gaming device against each other? Fact is, both of you groups like portable gaming- i'm willing to bet if you got passed your insecurities, you GPD fans would actually really get a kick out of the Nintendo Switch, and likewise you Nintendo fans would probably love the heck out of the Win 2. If only you could get past your insecurities, I think you'd find you both have a lot in common! (And to be fair, a good number of people I've talked to in the Win subreddit owns both, just like a lot of Vita gamers bought a Switch- but you can always spot the fanboy a mile away- it's the Vita fan that spouts off about how great it is, and then in the same breath says Switch is horrible and they'll never buy one... that right there is just blind fanboysism. You can bet if Sony made a Switch like device I'd be the first in line- heck I was first in line when Vita released)

So has anyone tried surround sound with the switch yet? I know the Switch is weird when you try to get it working, but it's possible. Anyways I was just wondering what games you tried playing with surround sound...besides Breath of the Wild, because everyone won't shut up about it. lol

I have a 5.1 soundbar, but with my current setup I can't use surround sound. So I ordered something that will fix this, should be in Tuesday, Monster Hunter XX will be the first game I go to. xp

@Joeynator3000

Oooooh, Monster Hunter... Surround Sound... Niiiiiiice

(In truth I started drooling at the mention of Monster Hunter moreso than the surround sound 😁)

...Oh yeah, I hope my PC can handle World. Imagine that game with surround sound. lol
But yeah, if only Generations Ultimate had Dalamadur...he would've been awesome to hear in surround sound.

@JaxonH Yeah, that's definitely true. I do feel like PS4 is the one most people gravitate towards, but to say it's objectively the best is pretty dumb. It's the same as saying horror is the best movie genre or something. Different strokes for different folks and all.

@Tsurii Thanks for that bit of info. No reason to wait for the Gold edition to drop in price in that case.

@Tsurii
Is the Gold Edition of Mario + Rabbids will Always have Golden frame and Golden sky for USA version ?

@Tsurii It got as low as €32 earlier this year, so I expect a similar price later this year. I'm in no hurry though. I'm taking a short break. I've finished around 6 games back to back, and I'm still working on the Splatoon DLC.

I've seen Mario + Rabbids for as low as 20€ in Finland. It's currently 24€ on CDON.

@Tsurii : Dang. Cheers for the heads up.

Walking Dead Season 1 and 2 are listed for switch. (Season 2 also has a boxart!)

The Famitsu article about Smash has me thinking, how well would the Switch do during the holidays if Smash got delayed to 2019. Of course if it needs more time, I'd much rather it got delayed but wondering if Pokemon Let's Go by itself would be enough.

For me, between Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, Xenoblade 2 NG+ and Xenoblade 2 Torna will be more than enough for the fall/winter so while I will buy Smash at launch a delay wouldn't be particularly disappointing.

Ugh...freakin'....JOYCON...I finally fixed you. No more drifting in games...
At first I thought it was the cap thing, because taking it off helped, so I bumped my old thread to talk about it. But then it came back, turns out it was dust inside. Thankfully I had an air can (whatever you call them, for dusting electronics, lol)...still buying a new joycon just because. Maybe the problem will come back again, because it's not perfect, but it'll do for now.

Still no update on my 5.1 sound bar, still waiting on the splitter to make it work. I'll let you know how awesome MHXX sounds with it. lol

@KirbyTheVampire @JaxonH to be fair to the ponies, the xbone was an absolute dog. It was a laughable joke even less competitive than wiiu in a lot of respects. The discounting of xbox was honestly correct. Ps4 was the only reasonable console for non Nintendo type games. The ps4 fans were right.

It wasn't until the s and x the x1 finally joined the race... Very late in the gen, but they finally showed a quality platform. Trouble is those sony die hards refuse to see it.

Personally if i had to choose one of have a hard time. There's things i like about the ecosystens of both and I love Sony games. Otoh virtually everything about all other games are better on x1x to me. Personally i feel like ps4 is better for physical gamers overall with better handling of smaller downloads somewhat, and a very traditional console environment......x1x is way better for digital gamers....ps4 feels almost Nintendo levels of backwardness where digital is concerned. But honestly with download sizes, I'm not sure if be happy with x1x as a physical gamer and limited bandwidth. But otherwise it does not things better with most games... Except those missing exclusives..... Yet something is inviting about ps4s "feel"
