@rjejr Honestly any decent USB-C cords will work. The problem is that people tend to buy the cheap crap, which can ruin the devices. This is also true for other chargers as well.
Also, if you have a pro controller, the USB-C can be used to charge the Switch.
@thesilverbrick There's no real reason to hate mobile gaming so much. There are some good stuff on there among the piles of crap. This game seems to be one of the diamonds though, especially if you like Animal Crossing.
@Ricube They can all be played with the controller, but you don't have access to a left shoulder/bumper (whatever it's called) and the Home button. You can, however, set the Joy cons as player 2 and get the Home button that way.
I think what they mean is that this game is only mobile, not that there will be a Switch game in the future. It can still happen, but I wouldn't use this as "proof"
I think the support is great. Nintendo will never get the same support as PS4 or Xbox because the audience isn't there or they already have a PS4 or Xbox. But if the Switch has the following, it will still succeed:
1. Games tailored for a Nintendo audience.
2. 3rd party licensed Nintendo games like Mario + Rabbids. Nintendo can let other companies make their games so their schedule is free.
3. Sports games like FIFA. People love these and Switch needs them.
4. Nintendo games. Duh.
5. Exclusive and popular indie games.
6. Quirky Japanese 3rd party games. As a handheld, this is inevitable.
The Switch is unique enough to be its own thing and I think it will do well.

Re: Owlboy On Nintendo Switch Made A Profit Within 24 Hours Of Launch
@Agramonte I think it's a good thing. The Switch has its own market.

@BanjoPickles On the other hand, you didn't pay for those games anyway...
Re: Nyko Is Being Taken To Court Over A Bricked Switch Console
@sremick So many companies would be "taken to court" if you can take NIntendo to court over some "standard" that's not written in law

Re: There's Trouble In Paradise As Nintendo Adds Loot Boxes To Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
It's a mobile game? Fire Emblem already has a gacha mechanic anyway.
Re: Niantic Settles Pokémon GO Fest Class Action Suit With $1.6 Million Payout
@GrailUK That's what I think, yes. They royally screwed this major event up and took responsibility for it.
Re: Niantic Settles Pokémon GO Fest Class Action Suit With $1.6 Million Payout
To be fair, they decided to settle, which makes the travel point moot. If they took it to court, I doubt the players would have much of a case.

Re: Dragon Quest XI On Switch Will Arrive "Much Later" Than Other Versions
If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time they formally announced the Switch version.

@8-Bit_Superman nothing delusional about it. Read the description. It’s a scan

Delusional is not the word I would use here. Con artist is a much better one.

Re: This Nintendo-themed Masking Tape Will Keep Your Labo Stuck On-Brand
@G0dlike Nope. That is just Japan’s official store.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th February (North America)
@rjejr Actually Owlboy has no "Switch tax." It's 24.99 on Steam as well.
Atlus has a habit of overpricing their games on 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th February (North America)
@rjejr It's called the "Atlus tax"

Re: Music: Fan-Made Mother 4 Game Isn't Here Yet, But The Soundtrack Sure Is
@DjCUTMAN I see. Wario appreciates your business!
Re: Music: Fan-Made Mother 4 Game Isn't Here Yet, But The Soundtrack Sure Is
Did they really pull tracks from previous Mother games? Nintendo's not going to be happy about that...
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp (Mobile)

@Davidiam007 Skyrim is next week. November 17 to be specific
Re: Random: Say Goodbye To Miiverse With This Touching Tribute
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Considering the Wii U is a footnote now, I don't think most people really cares about it anymore. It's time to Switch
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
@Mart1ndo Maybe a few years? If you're stingy on price, you may as well wait for a price drop.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
@Mart1ndo To be fair, not everyone wants a "powerhouse" like Xbox or PS4 either. But it seems that all 3 consoles found a sizable market anyway.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
@EDF The easy ability to switch from handheld to TV without any additional accessories.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
@Mart1ndo Then why not spend that much for multiple good games on an underpowered console!?
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Is The Best Rated Game Of All Time
@eShopper Awwww, well you should!

I still have my 14 year old controller. This is pretty funny

Re: Nintendo Outlines Season Pass Details for Fire Emblem Warriors
@Leon-mirage: To quote other people...
"Splatoon 2 is just Splatoon again. Why can't they just do DLC?"
"This game has too much DLC. I would rather pay for a new game."

Re: Pokémon Boss Didn't Think Switch Would Be A Success In The Age Of The Smartphone
Eh, it's still on track to outsell the Wii U by next year, so that's a milestone by itself (well, more like a footstone or a meterstone)
Re: Splatoon 2 Designer Explains Why The Maps Rotate And Salmon Run Is Time-Limited
What's odd is how Salmon Run is offered every day (or at least 98%), but it's not offered the entire days.
It's just a weird design approach.
