I have Ankers current 20100 USB-C power bank and it's worked marvelously but ever since the 5.0 update I've been more hesitant to use it.
It's a great product for the money and I believe it's a good value, so I'll most definitely be replacing my current power bank from Anker with this one for the Switch.
@JayJ thinking the same thing. I figure it might be a good starting point for my kids as an introduction to something as large as BotW without getting overwhelmed.
@Henmii umm what?! Sony has plenty of games on mobile. Maybe u haven't heard cuz it's no big deal, just another player in the biggest gaming market, but here comes Nintendo into the mobile market and people expect big things.
@Shiryu @Tisteg80 correct and sorry I forgot to mention that I had to manually type in the IP address but it was very easy to find in the Hue app. Thanks for the tip about embedding.
I have a bloom behind my TV and the rest are just the normal BR30 and a19 bulbs. I plan to do three in the front and one on my left and right for a setup of 5 out of the total 7 that are possible.
I'm having a blast playing this. we should start a petition or find a means to ask more devs to incorporate this into their games, it's amazing and I'm in love with it.
Bought the second one recently because I really enjoyed the first one so much back on the Wii U. Didn't double dip for this tho but if u haven't played it I highly recommend it, I had a great time with and the storyline was just so strong.
I appreciate all the reviews on this site. Including this one. As a matter of fact I think the concept of this game is a lot of fun it's just lacking in content, hopefully a few future updates fix that.
@Shiryu @Tisteg80 sorry guys was working late all week. Finally got a chance to purchase and try it out and I can say it works beautifully. Check it out: (How do u embed videos?)
So forgive me I need to get another power strip and the setup will be much better cuz the position of the lights weren't ideal & the vid really doesn't do it justice.
Regardless of the fact that the layout wasn't how I wanted or intended, the immersion level was still unreal and it just felt and looked amazing while playing.
Honestly I have no idea why devs haven't incorporated this feature into more games. I want to play like this all the time now . Imagine Splatoon 2 with Phillips Hue 😍😍 even rhymes lol.
@Tisteg80 @Shiryu wow that's super dope I hope it works on the Switch this way. I'll try it out and let you guys know. Or do either of u know if it only works with XBONE?
It's reasons like this, not piracy which I use exploits on my consoles for. The collective fanbase, coders and modders come up with some unbelievably great stuff. All hail freedom.
I loved it on Wii U, fun game, beautiful & with a great sense of scale. I enjoyed both the serene exploration and intense boss battles. Highly recommend it to fans of either genre.
@Spectra sorry bud, but concensus critically & commercially is that it's not a bad game, i very much enjoyed the game and my opinion is it's excellent. Every bit worth of the Xeno name, other than the gatcha mechanics I'm in love with the game.
Your of course entitled to your opinion, and your opinion that it's garbage I'm sure reigns true among many. Seems to be pretty divisive but the majority enjoyed it However an opinion doesn't make something good/bad or fact.
@Mr_Horizon You spent 15 minutes in the mine section, stuck. Yea def not a game for u, a bit over your head it seems if all it took was those 15 mins to discourage you from an otherwise interesting experience. For the asking price it more than makes up for it with the storytelling, soundtrack and bleak atmosphere.
@Nincompoop I think your discrediting the game based on graphics. If you've ever enjoyed playing action adventure games like any of the 2D Zeldas sprinkled in with some light RPG elements and intense action then I highly recommend the game for you. looks great in motion and is just a blast to play. Story is pretty good too. Keeps u motivated to keep moving forward and see things through to the end.
Never stop trying. Goku in Smash would be awesome. Snake wasn't exactly a Nintendo character and neither was Cloud. He's one of THE most fun and iconic characters in entertainment medium as a whole. Bring him on!!
@Nincompoop what are you talking about? Do you even have kids? I don't know one family with a child that doesn't have a playroom or bedroom full of toys. when it comes to Christmas & birthdays especially, most people get kids toys not electronics & a tablet.
Great game but just beat the 20th anniversary edition on Wii U so don't see myself running this down again anytime soon. For anyone that's never played it though it's a very cool experience.
@TDS_Computer 🤣😂 Just saying where else do they speak English where it's written that way. I don't think I was rude, exactly why I said Britain gets a pass cuz umm yea, y'all are English lol.
@faint you mean the British way as someone nicely pointed it out. Never seen any books or English classes spell it in that manner. I wasn't aware there were multiple ways of spelling the same word. English is English or so I thought. Britain gets a pass through lol.
The review was great and makes me very hopeful for the second one which I'm highly anticipating and now prepurchasing. I've already purchased this and the DLC on my PS4 so no double dipping here but this shows that they've made a great port and I can look forward to the next chapter.

@Spectra sorry bud, but concensus critically & commercially is that it's not a bad game, i very much enjoyed the game and my opinion is it's excellent. Every bit worth of the Xeno name, other than the gatcha mechanics I'm in love with the game.

Re: Review: Outlast: Bundle Of Terror (Switch eShop)
My only gripe is how often they spell “maneuvers” wrong on this site, and “colors” too as a matter of fact. Where’s the spellcheck at 😋
