Has anyone had difficulties with waking their system up using the pro controller? When it's docked and in sleep mode, I try hitting the home button on my pro controller and nothing happens. I have to get up and physically hit the power button on top of the console.

It's been janky just a few times, might be poor line of sight to the dock. Any time I've consciously provided a clear path, it's worked fine.

I found you can wake it up multiple ways. Tapping a. Tapping home.

But holding home for 2-3 seconds does it ever time for me

Yeah, hold the home button for a few seconds and it works. I find it unreliable at waking the console otherwise.

I got the Guardian and archer Link. They're both really, really nicely done. Scanning anything into the game isn't worth the effort unless you're doing some kind of amiibo assisted speed run.

My first playthrough is gonna be DLC and amiibo free. Subsequent ones will be good for messing around with the game via loot.

The DLC is just the shirt, some rupees and a few weapons, and the amiibos are mostly just rupees, basic weapons, and food, right? I'm not super far, vah rudania, but I'm so full on weapons/food/rupees all the time I'm not sure why I'd use amiibos except to make a second playthrough easier. I have my eye on the archer link, but that new nendoroid link looks so much better.

Here's a teardown of the console by Ben Heck

He starts identifying the chips and finds the 32gb system memory to be right on top of the completed unit, meaning all Nintendo has to do is swap out a small part at the end of the manufacturing process to have more internal memory.

The cable I charge my pro controller with got stuck on my desk chair and pulled the console while docked (with the official plastic HORI screen protector on it), no actual issues to the console other than a few rogue tiny scratches on the screen protector.

Not so sure I want it to be hacked so early, as it going to probably force them to close even more stuff off. The hacking on the 3DS caused saves to be locked to the system and the removal of the web browser.

Nintendo doesn't have to remove features from the switch to combat hacks, because the switch has no features.

Nintendo doing that to the 3DS means they don't actually give a gently caress about fixing their poo poo security, but instead they would rather just put a band-aid over a gaping wound.

Some of the early things I've seen from hackers indicate the Switch has a revision of the 3DS kernel, thus the code bounty for 3DS exploits they're running.

All that means is the seller sent that product to an Amazon fulfillment center. If they have a fakes that look like they are real, I doubt Amazon would notice when putting it into their system. Your best bet is to find something "shipped and sold by Amazon."

Oh wow wait, so since I bought the 25 dollar version on the Switch I'm getting another game for free in the future? I didn't even know that and I still bought it. What happens, there's an update in April that adds a game?

This was a few pages ago, but you already have the extra two campaigns. The latest one is delayed for other platforms.
There's a third one planned for later in the year, which you'll get for free.

You may want to do amiibo from the start as there are apparently rare armor drops that are only obtainable through amiibo if that is your thing. Including: Ganon's sword, Sheik's mask, some other crap I forgot but i think the OOT outfit. The benefits they offer with the shield/bow/etc they drop are really not huge as they break so quickly and you get those items fairly early, and the Ancient materials from the guardian are easily farmed later in the game should you so desire. Speed runs only appear to care about Smash Bros Link amiibo. I got the DLC but I don't think i ever backtracked to find the chests, doesn't matter.

e; Can someone repost that list of Nindies with trailers and release dates?

Seems really well built. The biggest surprise was Nintendo didn't put their brand on the Chip from Nvidia.

Just played a good 5 hours of Zelda and being able to go into a much higher level place than I should be and find a way to survive is why I love this game. It's seriously as open as you want it to be and, even though it's really tough, you can definitely beat almost anything at any time you want. I'm looking forward to someone going straight to the final boss and defeating it with a stick :)

I work retail at a higher end liquor/wine/craft beer store and let me tell you about the "unicorn whiskeys"


Stuff like Blanton's, Eagle Rare, Weller 12yr, Pappy Van Winkle, etc. these whiskies are exceptionally rare and always being hunted down by idiots who think that they are connoisseurs and read about how good they are/rare they are so they drive all over or call every store in a region and try to aggressively interrogate us employees to see if we're hiding any in the back. Think of these like the Nintendo Switch, except instead of there being an initial rush of people trying to find them for the first couple of months, people are always calling or coming in and trying to bully a bottle out of us or if we can "go check in the back" FOREVER, FOR AS LONG AS THIS INDUSTRY WILL EXIST. Every day, every week, forever.

The only respite from this endless barrage of whiskey reddit fuckers harassing me on a daily basis is that sometimes we DO have some of these rarer whiskeys hiding in the back and I just lie straight to their face and tell them that we don't because they're cherry picking collectors who are likely trying to resale the whiskey anyway. Sometimes I do it in a very winking, knowing way to let them question whether or not I'm bullshitting them. I will only offer these rare items to regular customers who are looking for something really nice, or extremely cool and nice people who don't cold-open with "DO YOU HAVE ANY X". I am the gatekeeper. Treat me like a human.

Blanton's and eagle rare practically warm shelves around here
