Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

...I just now realized I posted in the wrong thread, this....game just made me lose it completely. I need a hug.

@Joeynator3000 LOL I wanted to tell you about that but I thought your edit already took care of that. Guess I was mistaken.
And are you sure it's the game that's making you losing it completely...?

Yes it's the game, I can't even type without making typos anymore...xD

Hugs..........?

...lol.
Anyways after dealing with Sanya's check-up bill sometime this month, I'm gonna start saving up for the Switch. No idea when exactly, guessing June-ish.

Can't find Switch with its MSRP anywhere. I can find one, but it's too expensive. I think I will wait for them to restock.

A Neon Switch appeared on Amazon from a 3rd party seller yesterday for only $269.99.The seller has over 1000 feedback so is obviously reputable.Problem is it was out of stock within minutes of appearig,even though it still says they have 2 left in stock.Amazon really need to remove that listing. Just getting peoples hopes up.

Plenty of them in stock around here and not to hard to find controllers for it either. Well at some stores anyways. Some stores are more or less empty shelves. But good luck finding a decent case for it or any games.

My general impression is that the interwebs is set on the demise of Nintendo as a hardware manufacturer, so I think no matter what the Switch does, it's doomed. Nintendo needs to pull in the casual audience (that does NOT frequent the interwebs) FIRST to get an install base going that will sustain them, and then move on from there.

They are not going to crack the "gamers" (I use that term lightly - literally just to signify people that play games lol) that frequent your mainstream gaming sites unless they build a base and software library that simply cannot be ignored.

@WebHead
To be fair I have seen quite a few usually fairly anti-Nintendo people be pretty positive about the Switch. Not just because of Zelda. Of course it all depends on how much decent content starts coming to the platform. But early signs are pretty damn good even outside of just the sales figures. Easily the most positive reaction to a Nintendo product launch I've seen since the Wii.

@skywake indeed. people are really liking the seamless setup transition and ease of play. plus even if its not going to match ps4 pro or xbox scorpio in power, its still stronger than wii u and its a helluvalot easier to program for.

Does anyone happen to know what the resolution for the Switch Home Menu is? I'm having some trouble finding that out. I have a friend that's kind of annoyed since he saying that the Home Menu is not outputting at 1080 on his TV or monitors. I would like to be able find out if this is actually intentional or an actual issue with his console.

On my TV it's 1080 actually...

Does anyone's Switch wiggle in the dock a little like mine does? Someone posted a thread about theirs wiggling, and when I tested mine, I noticed when I press down on the right side it moved a little bit, but the left side doesn't at all. Is that normal? I'm not really concerned about it since everything works fine, but I thought I'd ask if it happens to anyone else.

Gamestop being Gamestop again.

I've noticed that when docked the Switch can seem a little loose, but again everything works as intended, I'm more concerned about the scratches that are appearing on the screen protector.

RiME costing more on Switch is pure BS. Anyways, apparently the re-release of Lego City Undercover has vastly improved load times, which is excellent news.

I'll get the PS4 version then! _{Oh, wait. I don't even have a Switch yet..}
