Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@WebHead Hori isn't too bad. I've only had issues with their basic fight sticks. Power A is also ok as well. I have some gamecube controllers for the wii by them (because of the fullsized c stick...I love my wavebirds and all but sometimes I just want joysticks that are the same size.)

The problem is that none of the 3rd party controllers have HD rumble or motion controls. This isn't like back in the day where a knockoff GC controller could do everything a regular GC controller could do, but just broke faster.

Everyone's favourite part of Nintendo systems is back! Stability updates!

8.1.0 is out now.

Yea i know @Grumblevolcano my switch has been trying to stop me from playing Resident Evil 0 and reboot my system for over a half hour. But i can't find a damn typewriter to save my game.

Welp, my left Joy Con is starting to wander, too. Little guy had a good run of 2+ years of heavy use. Believed in him the whole, time, too - even through the dark launch days of the doomed left Joy Con.

Was looking for an excuse to get some new Joy Con anyway - do they still sell the bundled Mario Party and JoyCon in the US? I don't think it's a savings anymore, though. You can usually find the Joy Con on some sort of sale.

Funny to hear someone say they're wary of third party controllers while a bunch of people recall problems they've had with first party controllers lol! I've been thru a bunch of lefts as well, hope the next iterations are more durable

This is probably the news investors want to know alongside more Mario Kart Tour info:

Just updated mine, too.... @Grumblevolcano Not had any Joy-cons issues myself, although I recently got a grey pair The originals still work fine, though

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night just unlocked on Steam. OHHHH BOY Switch owners are gonna be EATING next week. The game is SOOOO GOOOD!!! Igarashi is back!!!!!

"The digital PC, Xbox One, and PS4 versions will release June 18th, with the physical release following on June 21st. The Switch digital version will arrive a week later on June 25th, with the physical edition coming on June 28th." .... @Tsurii

So this is odd. I got an error code saying Ive added the maximum funds to my eShop.

This was when I was buying games this morning via the Nintendo UK website on my phone. Spent around £175.

Error code 9001-6542

Just find it funny that that is even a thing.

@Knuckles-Fajita I encountered this when I used to buy eshop vouchers. I guess it's a good way to avoid fraudulent or audiovisual behaviour (or stories of kids spending hundreds unbeknownst to their parents).

@Buizel But I like audiovisual behavior on my Switch! 😜

@HobbitGamer No idea how "audiovisual" came up, that was meant to be "suspicious". Bloody autocorrect!

Of all the behaviors out there, the audiovisual ones are, far and away, the worst of them.

@Knuckles-Fajita It appears you can't add over $200 to your eshop credit at any one time. Or even stockpile more then 6 - 8 vouchers.

Reminds me of those 3DS games that kept reminding me to take a break from playing every thirty minutes or so. Nintendo is a caring mama.

@Buizel @Ralizah I wasn't even adding it at once. I was paying what I needed per game. Guess the limit still applies. Ah well.

When I buy a game on the eshop I go through the checkout process and at the end I add the exact funds for the game I'm purchasing via PayPal. So my account balance is always at zero (I think!)

Yeah, if you buy too many E-shop games too quickly, @Knuckles-Fajita, it'll still do that Your balance is temporarily whatever the cost of the game is, @Tangerine .... Even if it's for a nanosecond

Grezzo is just gonna keep remaking Zelda games until people actually buy one of their original games. At some point maybe they should threaten to remake the CD-I games if people don't buy their next original game. :V
