I beat Fire Emblem Echoes when it initially released. The game was neglected by many with Switch being the hot new focus, but it's a really good game.

The voice acting in particular is exceptional. Love Alm and Celica. Story was good. Obviously it's a remake of Gaiden so the maps are beholden to original design. But aside from that it was a really solid FE.

Quick question that I'm currently blanking on: when putting the SD card into a Switch in order to get back all your screenshots/videos after a transfer, do you need to turn that Switch off beforehand? I know you need to do it when removing an SD card but I'm curious if the same is true for putting one in. The SD card already has thousands of screenshots/videos for added context. If anyone here could reply ASAP, I'd greatly appreciate it!

@Fizza I'm not sure, but I would guess that it's the case. I'd make sure it's powered off before inserting the SD card, just to be on the safe side.

Man, I'm super impressed with Crisis Core on Switch.

I actually think it looks better than Final Fantasy VII Remake on SteamDeck, even despite being set to high texture and shadow resolution. Basically, I've got settings maxed out on Deck at native 720p, and for some reason it looks blurrier than Crisis Core on Switch. Hair has just as much artifacting as well. Not that it bothers me, its just interesting to note it's not any better in that respect.

in regards to @JaxonH speculation on new hardware releasing together with Legend of Zelda Tears of The Kingdom, my take is, Nintendo could release a themed Switch OLED edition around the game closer to it release, just like they did with Splatoon 3 e Pokemon Scarlet e Violet.

i like HD Rumble.

That's always possible.

I only said there's a chance it could happen. And that's all it is- a chance

They're still making content for W101?

What? How? When does it release?

@JaxonH This is one of the promised Kickstarter goals that was reached. The successful goals were:

  • Switch version
  • Steam version
  • PS4 version
  • Time Attack
  • Luka's First Mission
  • Remix soundtrack
  • Luka's Second Mission

The 2 Luka missions are the reached goals that haven't been released yet.

I'm thinking of trading in my switch for a oled model???? Is it worth it

@PS5_LOVER21 Depends on how frequently you play in handheld mode.

I you play mostly docked there's no reason to upgrade beyond the ethernet port.

@PS5_LOVER21 I had a year1 Switch, and the battery was complete knackered by the time the OLED was released... so I was really in need of an upgrade. The additional storage space is nice, and of course the OLED visuals are nicely noticable on some games.

The white joy-cons and white dock look slick, and the kickstand is much better!

But if your original is in good shape, I'd perhaps wait until TotK to see if "Switch 2" is on the horizon. No point getting the OLED if a bigger and badder Switch is soon to be released

@PS5_LOVER21 It's a gigantic upgrade for portable mode. The screen looks dramatically better, the battery life is immensely improved over the V1, and the new kickstand is great. Extra on-board storage doesn't hurt, either.

No real improvements for docked play aside from a bit more internal storage, though.

@PS5_LOVER21
It’s a must-have for anyone who plays their Switch in handheld or tabletop. And frankly, I think it would become a must-have even for those who don’t, as the 7” OLED screen with amazing kickstand actually makes you want to use it portably. I’ve spoken to more than one person who was pretty much TV-only until they got a Switch OLED, and now use handheld and tabletop just as much as docked. That goes doubly for tabletop, which was always “usable” but wonky and unstable and only offered one set angle. Now? Not even an earthquake could tip the Switch OLED out of tabletop, and you have an infinite choice of angles between 0 and close to 180 degrees.

Aside from all that, the battery life is practically double compared to the v1 Switch. Pretty much every single game is guaranteed 5 hours minimum at max brightness. And when you don’t have to constantly worry about the battery, it makes you more inclined to enjoy the two portable modes of play.

@PS5_LOVER21 Just wait for Tears of the Kingdom, at worst you get the opportunity to get a Zelda themed Switch OLED meanwhile at best you get the opportunity to get a more powerful Switch.
