and props to them for releasing them on youtube for free.

i guess the switch is their imac moment. or ipod. or iphone. or go all the way to performa, hell something liek that.

from EZA, the wife of one of the guys in their podcast (jones) said his wife was watching him play - or was playing, i forget. he was pointing out to her where the frame drops were and she didn't notice a thing. i think a lot of this is perception. when you know what to look for and look for it, you'll see it. if not, then nothing. it's like learning to taste wine jsut so you'll hate the wine you've enjoyed before because it's got the wrong this or that to it.

the more i play the switch, the more sense playing other games on it makes sense - not that i've played anything other than fast rmx yet. pc master race + switch is a great match.

@2CUTE4YOU question: i saw that thing was huge. does it have room up for a bluetooth adapter for the 3.5mm jack? it adds about a half an inch of height to the switch.

i got the hori one. issokay. SUGGESTION if you are going all digital, get a pouch/case with the elastic game cart holders. they can hold sd card adapters to hold microsd cards.

and in other news.... SPLATOON GLOBAL TESTFIRE CAN BE DOWNLOADED (not played) NOW IN JAPANESE ESHOP!!! coming soon to other places, i dunno.

@CircuitWrangler3 i do agree with zelda's role as you mentioned. that's one of the jobs of a system seller after all. it was never a technical showcase as it doesn't use the showcase hardware feature of neither the wii u, nor switch. but for a small team at shin'en to vastly improve it's game for it's switch hd remake/port, then nintendo only mildly improve it's own with all their resource and access, shows that shin'en clearly went above and beyond.

@JaxonH i'm one of those that bought all of them.

@JaxonH it's especially impressive when you consider that nintendo themselves couldn't optimize their own first party flag bearer zelda from it's wii u origins to the switch. the performance difference between zelda wii u and switch is miniscule and near nonexistent compared to neo and rmx.

shin'en's been around since the gba? wow. something tells me that their indie status is by choice. they've likely been made offers already.

switch needs game organization options. folders and the like. there are digital hoarders out there you know.

the 'all of them' choice should not require more wealth than scrooge mcduck. rather, less sense.

there was a shortcut thru that waterfall all along?!?!?!?! DAMMIT!!!!

@3MonthBeef reg is the nicest politician who never ran for office.

howsabout super snipper clips maker while you're at it, reg? maybe a season pass and snipper clips puzzle sharing portal as well.

brave, man. brave. best of luck. maybe they can make an nx version.

it'd be neat if the joycons came in that color scheme. i'll take a silicon skin if not.

that good ol' nintendo tax heh.

damn straight it's a 9. i'd give it a dime, really. i haven't played zelda yet because of it. just... one... more... championship... i think between this and shovel knight, my rage quit quota for the month has already been met.

@BornInNorway81 the article provided it, the qutoe jsut proved the nutshell for it to be in.

@neufel i think that's every week in japan heh.

i was looking forward to this game, but the switch made me completely forget about it. maybe something better can be switched on over.

didn't nintendo get caught selling a hacked rom themselves in the virtual console?

boiling bolt and post-human war look interesting. striker's looks to be a good choice for multiplayer. pankapu is a stylish platformer and that space is a tough one. it's going to need something to distinguish itself.

anandtech article about the switch power consumption:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/11181/a-look-at-nintendo-switch-power-consumption/2

a quote: the Switch apparently can’t pull enough energy from standard 5V-output power banks to meaningfully recharge its battery while gaming. So with a 5V power bank, if your Switch is fully depleted, you’ll need to stay attached to the bank the entire time you’re playing, or take a break and let the bank recharge the Switch while it’s sleeping. In the case of the latter, the recharge rate should only be a bit lower than if you had used the AC adapter.

maybe they don't want to oversaturate the switch with platformers. kindah ard to do since it's bone dry in the eshop. the indies gave luv to nintendo when the bigs left. they better not shun the indies jsut because the bigs are back.

i asked a certain hipster in the live chat for the switch launch if the memory cards were hot swappable, and he said yes. i tried it and no, they aren't. the system turns off when you remove the memory card.

the joycons slide in and out just fine on the switch, and the grip, but not with the straps. they have no positive reassuring click with the straps, and it feels like they're being broken as it requires force to get them out.

i think the first problem ca be fixed with some system software witchcraft. the second one, lube is not recommended as that gunks up over time.

@JaxonH one good reason is to keep the battery from bubbling up after a few years like so many other smart device batteries do. but yeah, i never turn it off either heh.

this is legit amazing. that guy's videos are something else.

i'm not familiar with the switch screen tech. is it the kind which is backlit no matter what? or is it the kind that only has lights for areas of the screen that need light? if it's the latter, then basic black which i use is a power saving option.

the effects from my subjective pov, are to make it look like an 80's vhs tape. it works very well in that regard. it was a ncie surprise to see photography and videography stuff on nlife heh. maybe the next shin'en game will make it look like a wong kar wai film with bokeh balls and such.

@SmaMan nor should you buy medicines from game stores heh. tho' maybe energy drinks count and are fine.

i have legend of zelda but i haven't played it yet. fast racing rmx is the only game i've played so far on my switch. it's a luv/hate thing with rage quits and championship podiums. i haven't even played shovel knight yet on it.

i wonder what shin'en will do next? they went from sci-fi, twin stick, mario galaxy-influenced shooter; to sci-fi hovercar racing; loaded with action in both titles. sci-fi futurism is their thing, with heavy syd mead influence, it seems. can't go wrong there.

i got a rubber/silicon grip for the joy-cons only. they add a grip bump to them and add slight girth overall that makes the switch nicer in handheld mode. they slip on and stay on with no adhesive so jsut avoid a skin that uses adhesives.

my joycon connection issue is that you can easily put on the grip/strap the wrong way, and that they don't slide nearly as slickly off as the joycons from the controller bat grip, or the switch itself.

@Luna_110 don't give them ideas or they'll find a way to make it the first piece of hardware to have paid dlc.

they're neighbors in the seattle tech hood so yeah, they're buds. maybe microsoft will allow an xbox game streaming over wi-fi app on the switch.

i know why there are only nine games on the eshop. it's for guys like me. i got the games i wanted, but am now almost compelled to get even ones i don't want just to populate my memory card and fulfill the urge for digital hoarding, at full price no less.

with xblox play anywhere, the portable xbox is likely a surface pro.

it could also be because nintendo has a thing for apple. maybe some enterprising dev will make a paid browser for the switch. btw according to that wikipedia page, the version of netfront for 'other devices' is called NX.

why are europe and japan getting exclusive launch titles and noa get nought? i know you're reading this, reggie!!!

shovel knight, fast racing rmx, 1-2 switch, whatever indie i can still buy after that. zelda maaaaybe. launch lineup set for me.

like the wii u, the indies luv the switch. all the third party ex-girlfriends are back for a reconciliation tho'. it's like nintendo is hef again and the switch is the playboy mansion in the 80's.

i wish they allowed eshop pre-orders for games on a paltform that wasn't out yet.

good move putting 'repost' in the tweets now when they're retweets of earlier new items. thanks for that.

btw i participated in the ubisoft open beta for ghost recon wildlands. in the survey afterwards, they ask if i've heard of the nintendo switch and my answer was 'yes and have already pre-ordered'. take that as you will for the status of anything ghost recon on switch for the future. it's a neat game from what i played.

@QBertFarnsworth just buy the inevitable line of workout weights for joycons by john cena.

so weird seeing him in jeans that go all the way down instead of jorts level.

the gameboy color is the nokia 3310 of handhelds.

i think the real reason they did this is to prevent any negativity that might be transferred onto them if an accident happens.

no direct, just a first time user video. soft launch verified.
