That is 5V 2.4A, which qualifies it under "Good Enough**", and the ** points out that some of those chargers will send over 2A instead of 1.5A, which makes them "Good". However, considering that the Switch doesn't use any proprietary charging tech that I'm aware of, it could just be the result of an out-of-spec cable tricking the Switch into pulling 2A. If that's the case, be careful where you plug that cable into. Or it could be Power iQ throwing more power at the Switch than it requested, but I don't think that could be possible.

Ah OK. Well I doubt it's the cable as I bought it in March. Anywho it's a good cheap charger so.

if you were looking at Cave Story+ and didn't want to buy the same thing again, good news! they added new areas/weapons and a new ending to the switch version.

friends, I've been hunting for a Switch and I'm trying to get one before the end of the summer, so as to avoid the nonsense of the holidays. any advice?

I got on one wave of the gamestop bundles, you might just bite the bullet and order online. I didnt wanna have to wait but it was the only way i was guaranteed one. I think they ship out as they get them, i was able to get the colored one which i think mighg be a bit more popular?

I also got cave story and my keychain was the lil girl, i kinda wanted the main character one, but it still looks cool on my switch backpack next to my puyo puyo and tetris gimmick merchandise -- plus all the little extras are neat.

The game looks real nice too, but Egg corridor music seriously gave me a headache. Chippy chirpy static noises are not a soundtrack.

there's four separate soundtracks in cave story+, and the "cave story+" soundtrack is hot garbage. switch to "Organya", its a custom music format Pixel made for the original cave story and is hella good.

Are we entering the period when retro nostalgia means the hip style for indie games over the next few years will be blocky models and muddy, juddery textures? I always forget that people younger than me exist and their first console wasn't an NES.

NES was my first console too, and I'm still nostalgic for early 90s lovely 3D. I'm a nerd tho

You can switch the soundtracks, there's like 3 of them on there I think

My friend bit the bullet today and bought a Gamestop bundle, I believe hers came with BotW and Cave Story.

Make another account, and set its region to whichever country's eshop you want to shop at.

Edit: You may also be able to just change the region on your one account, shop, and then switch back.

You can do the second one, but be warned that doing so allegedly zeroes out your wallet balance.

My wallet balance was already zero, I wish I had known this was an option before I made a second account just to download one demo. Hopefully the UK account will prove itself useful in the years to come.

And if Duolingo + my two years of Japanese in college end up getting me anywhere it might be worth making a Japanese account eventually.
