Only use for Dock play so still in great condition. Original Joy cons still work. Have yet to get the joy con drift issue that other claim to have. A few smudges from use, but Switch is still going strong since the day I got it. ^^
Got my new Dock. Looks nicer and having the built in Ethernet port is nice. To confirm, the built in Ethernet port does run at gigabyte speeds. My Switch is finally hitting the download/upload that I pay for. : P
Decent MOBA with a Pokemon Skin. Ranked does need work. I would love role and Pokemon locking like you see in LoL. It would at least encourage players to actually play their respected roles.
Let Nintendo experiment. One of the reason why I like them so much. They try to be different from Xbox or Sony. Whether the end product is good is up to personal taste.
Not surprised by the answer. It was nice to see the question asked during the survery but we all knew Capcom wouldn't deliver. My only reason to double dip would be 2 things.
1) Cross-play/Cross save feature. 2) My friends getting the PC version.
Seems like my 2nd reason would be a reason to double dip.
@Judgedean Definitely sounds like it's using USB 3.0 speeds at least. Now I MUST have this dock. I can't get more then 30 Mbps via my USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter.
I'm more interesting in getting my hands on the new dock. Anyone know when it's suppose to go up for sale on the Nintendo Store? While not a deal breaker, I'd love to know if the new LAN port is actually running at Gigabyte speeds.
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the new Switch if I can, but I mainly want the new dock. I'd like to know when the new dock will be sold on it's own. It has yet to show up on the Nintendo Store.
Yes, please allow for crossplay. At the very least cross-progression. The FPS difference won't matter much in a co-op game. Hell, Dauntless plays like that. It has cross play with 30 FPS on Switch and higher FPS on others. It's doable they just have to make it happen.
Still enjoy the game. It is a game that is best played with a group. I remember having a few "clan" battles in the early days. Those were a LOT of fun. ^^
Nintendo own their IPs. If they want they want to shutdown fan projects, they have the power to do so. The public may not agree, but nothing we can do about it.
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Downloading an update for any "physical" copy of a game is standard practice these days. We should all be used to it by now.
If the Switch Dock does get a firmware update, I would love for the USB 3.0 input to actually run at USB 3.0 speeds. It would allow for 3.0 USB Ethernet adapters to run at Gigabyte internet speeds.
I didn't like Monster Hunter till Monster Hunter World. That entry made it very easy for newcomers and off putters to get into the game with ease. Hearing Rise having some QoL taken from World, I'm looking forward to this game.
I guess it's something. Being able to keep the same party to do other dungeons is nice.
Now if they DO make it possible to gather Myrrth and/or do the Moogle letter together, that would be nice. Be tempting to actually give the game a try.
I enjoyed One Strike as well most of my family members during the Thanksgiving holiday. Even got the DLC because of it. Going to have to give these other free games a try.
I'm hoping it does decent. I wouldn't mind seeing a few games that wouldn't work well on Switch be cloud version. PSO2 Cloud for example would be a nice welcome addition. Along with any other free-to-play titles.
@Daniel36 To answer an old comment, the region lock applies to the friend code system as well. The one in the FFCC RE that is. An AUS buddy of mine and I tried to add each other, we got different people with the codes.
In order to play with anyone from a different region, both player must DOWNLOAD the game from the eShop that it in the SAME region. In this case, he either needs to download the NA version or I need to download the AUS version (which at the moment is impossible right now).
@Ulysses Agreed. The remaster may have turned out much differently if they decided to focus on the console only. Hell, if it was just Switch only, local co-op MAY have actually been a thing.
@Daniel36 We'll just have to wait and see. True, old fans of the series are mix and will probably wait it out to see if anything changes. Wouldn't hold my breath though. We'll see how the game handles in a week or so.
I'll wait for a sale or something since I have plenty of game to keep me busy anyway. But I don't expect any "local co-op" or "cutscene with other players" patch happening anytime soon.

Re: Introducing Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's New Starters - Which One Will You Choose?
Depending on the evolution, first game where I pick a fire pokemon as my starter. I'm usually a grass or water starter.
Re: Pokémon's Diamond And Pearl Remakes Have Been Updated To Version 1.2.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Better late then never. Honestly, game freak should have handle this like they usually do. This secondary dev team is decent at best.
Re: Capcom Is Already Preparing For Monster Hunter's 20th Anniversary
Monster Hunter Rise is one the best games for Switch. Can't wait for the Sunbreak DLC. : P
Re: Here Are Japan's Top 30 Best-Selling Switch eShop Games For 2021

Re: Nintendo's Switch OLED Dock Can Now Be Purchased Separately
Thanks for the heads up. Been watching and waiting to get my hands on the OLED Dock. It'll be nice to actually have 2 docks set up in my house. ^^
Re: Pokémon Unite Wins Google Play's Best Game Of 2021 Award
Decent MOBA with a Pokemon Skin. Ranked does need work. I would love role and Pokemon locking like you see in LoL. It would at least encourage players to actually play their respected roles.
Re: Nintendo Takes More Risks With Prototypes, Says Metroid Prime Developer
Let Nintendo experiment. One of the reason why I like them so much. They try to be different from Xbox or Sony. Whether the end product is good is up to personal taste.
Re: Review: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl - A Middling Pair Of Remakes
Chibi art isn't a big deal. But the EXP share is a little disconcerting. EV training Pokemon is gonna be a slight pain.
Re: PSA: Don't Worry, You Can Order The Switch OLED Dock's Rear Cover
Interesting. Now when will the new OLED dock be sold separately?
Re: Capcom Says It's Unable To Add Cross-Save And Cross-Play To Monster Hunter Rise

Re: Want Cross-Play And Cross-Progression In Monster Hunter Rise? Let Capcom Know In This Survey
Yes, please allow for crossplay. At the very least cross-progression. The FPS difference won't matter much in a co-op game. Hell, Dauntless plays like that. It has cross play with 30 FPS on Switch and higher FPS on others. It's doable they just have to make it happen.
Re: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For October And November 2021
Looking forward to getting my hands on that new Switch dock. Haven't seen the Nintendo Store put it up for sale yet.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 3.4.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Joeynator3000 We do have more event quest coming after the last collab is over. Your wish may be granted.
We can at least look forward to Sunbreak. I'm happy to see Master ranking finally coming to Rise. ^^
Re: Nintendo's Monster Hunter Sale Discounts Five Games And Lots Of Rise DLC
Small discount but better then none. Good time to get players into trying out Rise.
Re: Pokémon Unite's Latest Update Fixes Crustle And Lucario Bugs
Nice. Glad they squash it rather quickly. ^^
Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting Another Game Update Next Week
@Riderkicker Yep. Friends and buddies help make games last longer.
The loosing streak thing is with any game with a competitive element. Best to walk away and try again later.
Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting Another Game Update Next Week
Still enjoy the game. It is a game that is best played with a group. I remember having a few "clan" battles in the early days. Those were a LOT of fun. ^^
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
Nintendo own their IPs. If they want they want to shutdown fan projects, they have the power to do so. The public may not agree, but nothing we can do about it.
Re: NERF: Legends Will Allow You To Shoot Enemies With Annoying Soft Darts In October
@abdias Have 3 younger brothers and a younger tomboy sister. The nerf guns were popular toys in our family. It help settle many arguments. : P
Re: Nintendo Switch OLED Model Vs. Standard Switch / Switch Lite: Full Tech Specs Comparison
The docks is what I' mainly interested in. I hope it's a gigabyte LAN port. It would be a huge plus.
Re: Eek! The Physical Copy Of Monster Hunter Stories 2 Might Require A Download
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Downloading an update for any "physical" copy of a game is standard practice these days. We should all be used to it by now.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Do More DLC For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Or Just Release Mario Kart 9 Already?
The game should get more DLC or at least give us some info on a new Mario Kart 9 or something.
Re: Talking Point: Surely It's Time For Game Boy On Nintendo Switch Online?
GBA game would be nice. I don't see it happening anytime soon. Now if the WiiU was still around, then it be possible. : P
Re: Soapbox: Hurry Up And Release The Switch Pro Already, My Switch Is Dying
I don't have any issues with my Switch console. My joy cons also don't suffer from the drift issues gamers seem to have.
Give me some details on the "Pro" version first before I buy please. ^^
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 2.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Sweet! Looking forward to the update! ^^
Re: Free Super Mario Party Update Gives Massive Boost To Online Play
About time. Guess I'll give be playing this game again.
Re: Talking Point: Wii Features We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch
I'm not a big retro gamer so I can do without the virtual console system. Eshop shop music and animations would be nice.
Though, I'd rather they put their efforts into the Switch's online system and infrastructure. It works but could be better.
Re: Capcom Will Broadcast Another Monster Hunter Digital Event Next Week
Master or G rank would be nice. Maybe seeing one new biome would be cool too. Would help to bring some old and new monsters to the game.
Re: Japanese Charts: Monster Hunter Rise Stays Top For A Fourth Consecutive Week
Nice. Monster Hunter Rise is a fun game to play. ^^
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Finally Returns To Australian eShop, Seven Months After Its Removal
Now if only the region lock was removed.
Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0
If the Switch Dock does get a firmware update, I would love for the USB 3.0 input to actually run at USB 3.0 speeds. It would allow for 3.0 USB Ethernet adapters to run at Gigabyte internet speeds.
Right now, it's only running at 2.0 speeds...
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
I would love to see a Star Fox game on the Switch. Never got a chance to try out the remake on Wii U.
Re: Review: Monster Hunter Rise - A New Apex For Capcom's Beastly Franchise
I didn't like Monster Hunter till Monster Hunter World. That entry made it very easy for newcomers and off putters to get into the game with ease. Hearing Rise having some QoL taken from World, I'm looking forward to this game.
Plus, another game to play for my Switch. : P
Re: Where To Pre-Order The Monster Hunter Rise Nintendo Switch Console And Pro Controller
@Dryden Heads up, seems the pre-order for the pro controller are up on Best Buy and Gamestop for US costumers.
Re: Next Patch For Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Scheduled For Later This Month
I guess it's something. Being able to keep the same party to do other dungeons is nice.
Now if they DO make it possible to gather Myrrth and/or do the Moogle letter together, that would be nice. Be tempting to actually give the game a try.
Re: Buy One Qubic Fighting Game "And Grab 3 Others For Free" - This Weekend Only
I enjoyed One Strike as well most of my family members during the Thanksgiving holiday. Even got the DLC because of it. Going to have to give these other free games a try.
Re: Video: Does Cloud Gaming Work On The Nintendo Switch?
I'm hoping it does decent. I wouldn't mind seeing a few games that wouldn't work well on Switch be cloud version. PSO2 Cloud for example would be a nice welcome addition. Along with any other free-to-play titles.
Re: PSA: Use A Wired Connection When Playing Smash Bros. Ultimate Online
My switch dock already has a wired connection. If you have the option, wired ethernet is always the better option.
Re: Director Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Will "Try To Put Things Right"
@Zimon Many would love that idea. Course that require them overhauling the current way multiplayer works. Low chance of that happening.
They should at least make it so you can swap host around or have characters that qualify get drops of Myrrth.
Re: Director Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Will "Try To Put Things Right"

Re: Director Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Will "Try To Put Things Right"
I guess this is something. They are at least TRYING to fix it.
Now if they could remove the region lock, that would make so many of us happy. I'd settle just to have that removed.
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Pulled From Australia's eShop
@Ulysses Agreed. The remaster may have turned out much differently if they decided to focus on the console only. Hell, if it was just Switch only, local co-op MAY have actually been a thing.
Re: Reminder: You Can Now Download The Free Lite Version Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition

@MagnaRoader sorry, your right. ALMOST the full game.
