I've heard a lot of reviewers and videos that kind of politely go "eh, when it works, it works ok, but it's really *haha* ridiculous can you believe it?"


No one (that I have seen/read) has been appropriately harsh on it... yet.

Bottom inside lip of the joycon has terminal connections that connect when clicked in place on the system. Thats not just for charging.

That's what I thought but I remember some early tests saying "No they're still connected wirelessly even when strapped to the system" and I never really cared enough to check

I have no idea how these things work it's like magic. Does plugging them into that weird controller dock do anything? Do they draw extra battery power if on the screen vs off it in tablet mode? Is the only way to charge them to dock the system then plug them into the system?

Not for local multiplayer, which is what my family uses Tetris for. Not unless I want to get 3 more sets of joycons, which, no, I cannot do that, and playing online is... ehhh.

We keep the N64 at my parents' house for The New Tetris and Dr. Mario 64. I think as long as that beast keeps working that's going to be our main Tetris machine, and I'm OK with that because New Tetris has still never been topped.
Master the single joycon modes :v:

(...not that they're ideal or anything either. I've settled for one hand mode with my right hand on top to press the rotate button, and I vaguely recall one of the other modes being like graphing calculator Tetris with dpad/rotate on the right)

Or there's other options like the 8bitdo stuff or wired controllers of some sort.

The ways to charge are connected to the system (not sure if the system being plugged in or docked is required), or the charging joycon grip while connected to a charger, or one of the joycon charging dock things.

also it's weird that the Switch doesn't have a microphone in it when the Wii U had it, the 3DS had it, the DS had it

of course, those platforms all had it so that you could blow into it to make a thing happen in a game, but you'd think Nintendo wouldn't be able to resist doing it again. blow into it to make the platforms rise for mario to jump on!!

hell, how are you supposed to yell objection if Phoenix Wright ever comes to Switch?!

Probably won't really know until later what's dropping. There's not much info on either NOE's or NOA's site about this week's releases. Of course, with Spla2n they maybe didn't want to put much out this week. The only other Switch game is some Match 3 puzzle game: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/boost-beast-switch

The bad things I've noticed of the app are it's a battery hog and the screen never shuts off mid voice, and you can't look at say, your texts or whatever between matches and still talk.

The voip sound quality is fine, the instant room making and switching works well, and the extra features are nice fluff. It's also nice way to talk to strangers after playing with them.

Hopefully by the time this is a paid service, the prior issues are fixed.

Welcome to Nintendo in general really.
In their defense though, the 1 or 2 games are usually really good. You'll want to treat their hardware and offerings as supplemental and get your main gaming fix elsewhere.

Every month this year since the Switch released has at least one major quality title launching in it. They're all listed in the OP.

I mean, that's kind of subjective to what you consider "worth a poo poo".

So far we've had Zelda, Mario Kart, ARMS, Disgaea 5, and Splatoon 2. ARMS I only skipped because it had such close proximity to Splatoon, and Disgaea 5 I'm holding off on until I have time for a JRPG. It might get overshadowed by Xenoblade or something, depending on timing. Later this year, we're getting Mario, and probably some other stuff.

That's not even touching the indie games, although I wish there was a more concrete release schedule for those. Mr. Shifty is a good Hotline Miami stand-in with a fun gimmick, Shakedown Hawaii looks like basically all the best parts of 2D GTA games in an art style that I love, Stardew When, and so on.

There's also been kind of strong implication from Platinum that they'll be porting Bayonetta, Bayonetta 2, and Wonderful 101 forward. Which like, those are ports, but they're great games especially for people who skipped Wii U.
