Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I'll fourth it. Hollow Knight might be the best indie title on the Switch right now, and better than a lot of the retail and so-called AAA titles to boot.

@JaxonH @TheLobster @Ralizah @EvilLucario Ngggh, stop it, you guys! I already brought Hollow Knight, but I haven't started it yet. I'm juggling between Tropical Freeze and Celeste - both of which I kinda put on the backseat because of the Octo Expansion. You guys don't want me to juggle with yet another game with all your recommendations now, would you?

Glad to hear it's looking like a fine game, though. If it's anything like Celeste - which, by the way, is nothing short of an amazing indie game - then that'll be even better. I'll be sure to try it out once I finish the Octo Expansion, but I fear Celeste and Tropical Freeze will take up all my time anyway. We'll see what happens.

@Vee_Flames Hey, having too many games to play is always a good thing.

I need help.
My Right Joy Con is DEAD !
Didn't charged at all, i couldn't sync even i had pressed Sync button between SL & SR button.
What should i do ?

Figured I'd jump in on the Hollow Knight adulation. I had heard the game was great but didn't realize it'd be this amazing. I have so many other games I want to play but haven't been able to put it down. I've barely even played the Xenoblade 2 DLC. I'm about 15 hours in and there's still a lot to do.

Up there with Hyper Light Drifter and Celeste as indie games that are better than most "AAA" games.

@Anti-Matter You might need to call Nintendo, buddy. It's an 800 number so at least the call is free. Edit: I think the call is free. Not sure about from Indonesia. (You're in Indonesia, right?)

@Vee_Flames Better too many games than no games at all!

@DarthNocturnal
When i charged my Switch, my Right Joy Con was displayed with Red Empty bar (Not charged at all) but still able to respond , but after i plugged the adapter cable, my Right Joy Con was not working at all.
When i tried to find Joy Con by Sync, my Right Joy Con was Not founded ( ? Mark appeared).
I had tried holding the Sync button on my Right Joy Con, not working too.

@Anti-Matter Try updating the Joy-con while it's attached to Switch with the charger plugged in.

Go to

Settings / Controllers and Sensors / Update Controllers

Good luck

@OorWullie
I had tried but my Switch kept saying my Right Joy Con battery was empty and i had to charge the Right Joy Con before updating.

@Anti-Matter I definitely think you need to call Nintendo, at the very least they know more troubleshooting steps than we do to try first.

@TheLobster
I live in Indonesia.
There is NO Nintendo Customer Service in Indonesia at all & will be Never exist.
But, well... at least there is a video games service center at my hometown.
I think i should bring my Switch & Joy Cons to be fixed.

Dock your joy-cons to your Switch and dock the Switch.

Then dance in circles around your Switch chanting praises to the High Priest Wario. What have you got to lose?

I’ve been contemplating buying one of a few currently out or coming soon retail releases and eventually decided that Octopath will likely eat up my RPG time so went for Hollow Knight.

I was a bit apprehensive. Partly because there’s a high likelihood that it’ll get a physical release and partly because I’ve not long played Axiom Verge (& Steamworld Dig 2 last Autumn). Metroidvanias are one of my favourite genres but you can have too many.

Glad I didn’t hold out though. It’s fantastic. I’m only just an hour in but everything about it screams quality.

@Anti-matter and don't forget to film it and post the video here, otherwise it won't work.

So Warriors Orochi 4 is releasing October 16th. That month is gonna be very solid for Switch

@gcunit it worked. Thanks. My one wasn’t working for a week but then followed your instructions but danced in triangles and bam it started syncing. This should be a sticky

Mario Tennis Aces in 4 days. Just finished DKC Tropical Freeze, but no way on earth I finish Hollow Knight in time.

Prepare to engage backlog protocol

Yeah I've got no chance at finishing the Octo Expansion before Friday. Gonna try though

Octo Expansion is like the best DLC nintendo has done with the Switch. Definitely try it out. Puts BotW's to shame, easily.

Despite what I said about only buying 1 game in the form of Smash for the Switch this year, I ended up buying Night in the Woods as well. Pretty interesting so far, although I'm only like 20 minutes in. It's almost like a 2D Life is Strange.

Maybe I shouldn't be quite so dismissive of all the indies that the Switch is getting.
