Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Spoony_Tech That's true. I forgot about that. I've never cared for GTA, but I do want some 3rd parties, including NBA 2K18. I guess it'll just depend on the deals. I saw Amazon has a 128 for $45 that has good reviews, and Best Buy's best deal right now is a 64 for $30, so that 128 is a better deal, anyway. So I will hold off for now but definitely try to get a 128 if I can. Thanks for your help.

@Spoony_Tech Honestly, I'm not really into sports games, and most third-party games I get on my PS4, so I mainly use the Switch for first-party games and Indies. Which means I could probably go with a 64 GB for when my system memory runs out, if I just want a temporary solution, or a 128 GB, if I want something for the lifetime of the system.

@BLP_Software Small update, retailer finally answered. They claim there's no mark up on Switch units and they're essentially selling them with no profit at all; €329 per unit they claimed. The €320 unit was a UK import, because they're cheaper apparently. Going to send it back regardless, since I'd have to pay for the new adapter, and pay the shipping costs for it, and send mine back. I may as well order it somewhere else in that case.

@Octane Damn really? That's sucky. Best send it back and order one for RRP man. Figured something was up.

Means the boxes aren't sealed either. And that's a security issue,

New Switch boxes are not sealed in the US. Just closed. So anyone can open them

@BLP_Software No seal was the first thing I noticed, but I've heard they aren't sealed in some countries so I didn't give it a second thought.

Anyway, I'm not at home this weekend, but I'll get myself a new one on Monday.

Works on eShop/PSN/XBL credit. Free eShop money!

Now, the question is, which game do I use it towards: Steamworld Dig 2 or Golf Story?

Nintendo Switch red/blue Joycon edition in stock @Amazon

@IceClimbers
Honest opinion... go for Steamworld Dig 2. Golf Story is a great throwback to Mario Golf GBA, but I think SteamWorld Dig 2 is maybe the best indie on the eShop.

@IceClimbers I just tried that on my US account and it's saying 'something went wrong, please try again later.'

Anyone else have success?

Edit: It must be IP based too.

@JaxonH Thanks, I'll go with that. I'll get Golf Story eventually too, but I want to finish the bunch of games I recently got first . Still working on Mario + Rabbids!

How many of you guys have a little problematic pixels? I have noticed that I have 2 bright pixels. They are hard to find but I know they are there. They can only be seen then I am really close to the display and only on dark backgrounds.

I read that Nintendo claims that is normal with LCD displays but I am worried.

@Zuljaras Those are dead pixels. There are almost a million pixels on the Switch screen, and some can malfunction. It doesn't impact gameplay or functionality though.

No problem with dead pixels here. I haven't had any problems with the dock and the scratching issues either, and I'm not that careful when I put the Switch in the dock.

@JaxonH
I've gotta get me some Steamworld Dig 2. But I still need to finish Splatoon and Rabbids... and Odyssey is coming up... and I'm hoping for Stardew Valley soon... and I never did play Skyrim ... or DOOM ... ARGHASDF

@rallydefault
still need to finish Splatoon

One does not simply "finish" Splatoon 2

@JaxonH
Yea, but once I finish the story and put some hours into ranked, I'll consider it "finished" (mostly for my mental health lol).

@rallydefault
I'll admit, I'm not playing every day like I was, but some games I'll come back to off and on the entire generation.

Splatoon 2 and Monster Hunter XX are two of those games. Especially now that another coworker bought a Switch for Splatoon

Yeah I need to finish Mario + Rabbids first, then I'll probably finish Yakuza 0 on PS4, then Splatoon 2's campaign. After that I'll move on to either Pokemon Gold or Steamworld Dig 2. After I finish those two I'll finally get to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.

That will probably take quite some time to finish, especially with the NBA season starting up.

I've recently been playing less on Switch as well, having recently got back into Star Wars Battlefront, and with the beta of the second one in a few days, I might not be playing much next week either.
