@Grumblevolcano
Sony abandoning Japan was like changing their identity from Japanese peoples to Western peoples.
Btw, did you see my presence here ? 🤔

@Grumblevolcano I agree, If someone never looked into sony's history, you would think they are a US Company.

Nintendo has no one else to worry about, in Japan anyway.

Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

That is why I find the Switch so fascinating, it breaks a lot of the rules when it comes to “shouldn’t do that’s” but they can get away with it because really they have no real competition, not just in Japan, but really anywhere. No one is quite doing what Nintendo is doing, even misusing the first party lineup, you could argue in a lot of ways if you own a PC, there is limited reason to also own a Xbox/PS5 but I feel like even despite limited hardware, a Switch and PC can exist side by side.

@Anti-Matter Well a lot of their decisions are American based nowadays and their headquarters moved from Japan to America (California). Sony are still a Japanese company but like @Snatcher says, you wouldn't be able to tell without looking back at their history.

No. But if that day ever does come, it's not a problem.

First I'd just ask the shop I bought from if they'd swap out a new analog. If not, then I'd just use this shop for $13.50

Ya, it's a little more than the free repair Nintendo offers, but it's still pretty negligible and covers all custom joycon.

Can also use this shop for $15, and they offer both white or black analog sticks as replacement.

Mostly, yea, but Sony is still cranking out the awesome exclusives you just can't get on PC. I know they brought Horizon Zero Dawn to PC, but I don't think Uncharted, God of War, Last of Us, Spider Man, Ratchet, etc. have been. I could be wrong about some of those, though. Maybe the new Spider Man is on PC, actually?

@rallydefault Uncharted 4 + Lost Legacy are coming in 2022 and GoW (2018) is coming in January 2022. You can tell by the acquisition of Nixxes and the shorter gap between PC ports now that Sony's taking PC seriously.

Much like Nintendo will run out of Wii U games to port to Switch soon, there will come a time when Sony's ran out of PS4 games to port to PC and so will likely at some point delve into the PS5 library too.

Based on some of the stuff on the forum I was vaguely dreading the OLED transfer, but within about an hour I was picking up right where I left off on my old Switch on my OLED and my Step Mum was enjoying Animal Crossing on my old switch which had now been transferred into her ownership. A real painless experience.

Transfers only suck if you have a ton of digital games. When I transferred to the OLED, I had several 1TB micro SD cards worth of games to redownload. Took about a week of nonstop downloading to do all 3 of them. But you only have to do it once and then it’s done, and you forget all about it afterward.

And btw, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

Since this day only comes once a year, and so much consumerism takes the spotlight nowadays, I thought I’d post the nativity excerpt as a memorial to Christmas

From Luke 2:

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

Yeah, luckily I only keep the games on my Switch I am currently playing and then delete them when I am done, redownloading stuff as required from the Eshop, so I only had to download a handful of games and I was back up and running.

I currently have Ring Fit on cartridge and downloaded I have Dusk, MH Rise, Mario Kart, Skyward Sword HD, Loop Hero, SPLATOON 2 and Mario Party Superstars.

They should provide Ring Fit as a free digital download. I’d actually use it more if I didn’t have to put the cartridge in (and I can’t keep it in because my micro SD holder cart is occupying that space).

Once again Nintendo's servers couldn't handle Christmas, eshop's been down for a lot of the day.

Luckily for me I am basically exclusively digital, so I can let Ring Fit live inside my Switch. I will also say I remember reading stuff about difficulties getting the cart slot open but I had no issues at all.

Same here, only problem is I have multiple microSD because they still haven't released 2TB cards yet. So cartridge slot is occupied. I do have my original Switch set up in the basement for Ring Fit, but truth is I'd use it more if I had it in my room.

I haven't had any issues with the slot either, and I keep my nails really short. Feels about the same as the Vita cartridge flap.

Be sure to put tempered glass on the screen. It may already be glass but that thin anti-shatter film can easily scratch.

Yeah, no nails here either but no problems!

Also, I had a real issue finding a screen protector on the island but I eventually found one by some company called FR Tec, a tempered glass one. I got my Dad to put it on and I think he’s done a pretty good job. The bits off the screen and like on the bezel almost look like they aren’t stuck down properly but it doesn’t go on any better so not sure what happened there. Maybe if you were really OCD it’d bother you, but it’s no issue for me. What is more annoying is the protector seems to be an absolute fingerprint magnet, way more than the exposed screen on my old Switch.

Oh, and I am honestly enjoying Ring Fit a lot, I am not using it as much as I should, but once the new year starts and I am back to working again my life will have more structure to give me a proper Ring Fit routine.

@Pizzamorg
A good tempered glass screen protector will make fingerprints wipe off super easy thanks to the oleophobic coating.

The amFilm are really good for that, and the iVoler 4 pack with alignment frame. Some claim to have a coating but don't, or the coating is cheap and sucks. But ya. If it becomes too much of a problem, I'd try a different brand. Lots to choose from on Amazon. Just read the reviews to get a feel for what the complaints are, and whether they're something you care about or not.

New OLED Switch owner here, bought it like 3 weeks ago after having V2 model for about 2 years. I have been really satisfied, but I just noticed a big problem, which is not limited to the OLED model but to changing Switches in general. Playtime is not transferred between different devices. Not on the user profile info neither on the game selection menu if you sort the games through playtime.

I know this may not be an issue to some, but I love my data and my numbers, and it was very enjoyable to see how many hours I have poured in each game, sort of like a memory album. And it buffles me how Nintendo couldn't get it right, they keep all our info on their servers, is it that hard to add the playtimes from 2 different consoles? It's little things like this that piss me off with Nintendo, even though they are my favourite console and games company.
