A tiny behatted rat👒🐀!
Speaking of SD cards, is it possible to upgrade the Switch's card without losing your save data and downloaded games?

EDIT: Are any of the 3rd party Pro controllers worth buying? Or should I just get the official one if I have the money?

The save data is all on your console. The games you can just move into your PC and then into your new card

I picked it up in person myself but I'm wondering of that's a case of the tracking being behind the actual status of the delivery

Either way your best bet might be to try and contact them

I recently got Puyo Puyo Tetris and I feel like it's caused a lot of false drops for me.

If wearing it in is actually a thing this is the only game I've used the dpad for so it'll take some time.

I've had mine since launch and it's still pretty tough to play Puyo Puyo Tetris using the D-pad because left/right sometimes inputs up and drops the blocks immediately. I was waiting to send it to Nintendo in the hopes that the issue would be fixed by the end of the year. It's especially frustrating because the Pro controller is $20 more than the most expensive controller I've ever purchased. :(

Yep whenever I get the itch to buy one I just look up a review or two, then come across the dpad complaints and remember the price tag

stop staring at me

My girlfriend and I share a Switch at the moment but she's away on trips a lot and likes to bring it with her. That green and pink Splatoon bundle looks pretty tempting...

Does anyone have that bundle? I'm curious about the carrying case. It looks like it has a little flap to prop up the Switch, but I can't find any other pictures of the interior.

Also, having never played Splatoon before, how is the replayability of the multiplayer?

Is that what that flap is for? I figured it was just to store cartridges...

Well, I do have that bundle. The carrying case is quite nice. It feels very sturdy, but not heavy or bulky, and the design on it is really slick looking.

Splatoon is a good time. It's quite casual and there isn't much teamwork involved since there's no voice chat or anything. It's a super chill game, which might hook some people and might turn off others. For me it didn't have much staying power, but I did enjoy what I played of it.

But let's be honest, the real reason to get that bundle is because the joycons look snazzy as hell.

I've got that case, the flap inside does fold up to serve as a stand and it's got five slots for cartridges. There's also a small mesh pouch on it that I guess is meant for joycon straps but the case bulges in an odd way when it's fully loaded with Switch and straps so I only throw those in when I'm going somewhere with friends. If you want I can take some pictures when I get home.

Very replayable in my experience. It’s been pretty much my online shooter of choice since the first game came out.

The easiest thing is to toss the hat on each jump after like 30. You get 2 jumps counted per jump and you can vary the timing to reset if you are getting closer and closer to the rope. Its so much easier than every other trick out there
...like jump, and throw Cappy to do the halt-your-jump thing? The timing works out there?

The one in the bundle? It's the same as the Splatoon one, I think. It fits the console, five carts, and maybe two joycon straps.

...and no charger so that you can actually play. I still don't understand what they were thinking.

In Rocket League, the most important tip is to hit the ball toward the goal. It sounds like sarcasm, but you will be better than 90% of the other players if you do this because most people charge the ball and hit it just for the sake of hitting it like a bunch of idiot four year olds at their first soccer game. Simply thinking about which way the ball is going is enough to dominate most matches.

Assuming you can find a match where you aren't the only person who wants to play instead of idle for item drops.

It’s not bad at all, it’s a good game. You should definitely pick it up if the aesthetic interests you and a fun wacky boxer multiplayer game sounds fun.
