My switch 2 comes in and out of the dock as I’ve pretty much only played handheld, and they aren’t noticeable without light, but there are a ton of little scratches all over the screen… even with a (supposedly) glass screen protector!!
I ordered a dbrand killswitch which comes with a dock extension that doesn’t cover the screen but I have to put up with the official dock shredding my screen for a while until it gets here :/
@GravyThief idk if someone else already responded but…
Gen 3 > gen 4 because ds has gba slot as well as ds slot
Gen 4> gen 5
Gen 5 > Gen 6 by the ds Pokémon transfer tool on 3ds
Gen 6/7 > bank
Bank > home
Home > Gen 8/9
Edit: guy with graph up there said it way better than me 😂
I love how mechanical the driving became and I’m so excited to pick it all up. The soundtrack and visuals are great, I love how characters have skins, knockout tour is super fun
10/10, maybe blame recency bias but I have no gripes haha
Only time I ever used the lan mode in mk8d was with my high schools esport league. We won the state championship game in a lan lobby! Still in disbelief we even have a program like that, but that lan game was exhilarating 😂
I had the oled s1, and the new lcd blew my socks off. Haven’t noticed any issues with it either. Just having higher fps and res in handheld is enough to make it way better, and the colors at max brightness are more than sufficient to keep me happy lol
I got a jsaux case on Amazon and a glass screen protector (idk the company) for 27$ and my case has a firm shell, room for a ton more cards, far more wiggle room for wrist straps and other small accs, and a carrying strap on the outside. Heck, if I buy a grip case (which I will, I find myself playing handheld much more than docked), it will fit too. Nintendos is so much more expensive and for less capabilities and a lesser screen protector…
Double dipped as soon as I saw a switch 2 version, and it was on sale too! My cloud save got loaded fine, just too busy with Mario kart and DELTARUNE to give this a spin lol. The bit I’ve played is very impressive though!
@mr12calvin if you played 8dx and booster pass, you spent 85, yet nobody complains about that? If I had to buy an 80$ game (which sucks but mine was only 50$ with the bundle lol) this would be the one, I’ll likely be consistently playing it until switch 3 and so far I am absolutely loving everything about it, it feels so smooth to play and the visuals and soundtrack are fantastic
I want to play this (by which I mean I want to play as Miku) but I think I’ll wait for a sale at 80$ 😵💫
Let me amend, my sister is a big sonic fan so I’ll buy her the miku dlc and play it with her since I’ll be grinding mkw when I’m in the mood for a racing game
I'll keep maining pc but nice to know i have a portable option better than the switch 1 version and my phone now lol. Definitely will try this out this week for funsies.
Will be attending my local GameStop midnight launch. I got MKW bundle, street fighter 6, will buy deltarune day of.
I will also install the GameCube games and zelda editions, I've been meaning to replay the open world zelda games but I've been waiting for this moment!
@mariomaster96 i completely forgot about SV! I'll definitely try that out too. Still not sure i want to give TPC 40$ for dlc though lol
Still have my white joycon with my switch oled, they're recently starting to show grime and scuffs but no drift or bad buttons yet. If mine give out, I'll probably mod these or some old busted ones a friend gave to me rather than buy new ones with switch 2 around the corner though
Edit: some of those official colors are very pretty though...
(US) so glad i managed to get one in at my local GameStop because online pre-orders have been a disaster lol. Waiting for mynintendo invite tomorrow to buy my GameCube controller and I'm set for launch day.
I'm a big fan of the big band music in MK8 (might even call it the best video game soundtrack ever) but I should give this a listen to see where the series evolved from
@obijuankanoobie I have both of those as well, same thing happened to me. Guess i need to get back on it so i can be ready for the launch of the dlc haha
I'd love to still play this game but I lost motivation when i tried to reshell my switch lite a couple years ago and broke the screen ribbon connector. Managed to save my pokemon saves blindly but haven't tried recovering my island or starting a new one. Maybe a project to try starting this afternoon?
@Ralizah overclocking and forcing "docked" output with homebrew could allow for 1080p in handheld, especially since switch lite and oled chips are more powerful than og, just limited in software (because Nintendo)
My source, though, is old and unknown so i could be wrong
@Daniel36 I know you've heard from some people already, but this is a game that's pretty easy to drop in/out of and enjoy casually. (I play on PC, not switch though)
It's an absolutely beautiful game and mainly focuses on collecting resources to upgrade your spaceship and harvesting tool. One of my favorite parts is the starship combat, very simple but makes you feel really cool lol.
I can't speak on how the switch port fares, but I do think it's missing multiplayer and settlement construction due to the weak hardware

Re: Poll: Switch 2 Battery Reportedly Lasting Under Two Hours With Mario Kart - How Is Yours Holding Up?
@Truegamer79 they call it a portable console because you can take it anywhere so yes?
But with games running at 1080p60 and a big, bright screen I’m honestly impressed it goes over 2 hours at all lol, kinda conflicted

Re: A Hidden 60fps Mode In Xenoblade Chronicles X Gives Us Hope For A Switch 2 Upgrade
