Haha Jesus. Never defend Nintendo. I've read so much about why they couldn't do this and then... They just do it. They could have done it anytime lol

It's.... possible... That it was a real challenge to get the firmware to do what they wanted with no security holes and without adding an extra picosecond to the OS boot time Their priorities are often very different from what we think they should be

Popping in to say Crusi’n Blast kicks rear end. A must if you like arcade racers. Bluetooth audio support also rules. Switch is good.

I wonder how bad the latency will be. I can’t deal with the Mario jump sound not lining up with the jump That being said I can’t wait to just pop my AirPods in to play games with less audio dependency

I have the splat dongle and I've used it but I can't wear the headphones because I have a big headDr. Fishopolis posted:why are you doing this, exactly? I answered your question. I said it originally because the thought occurred to me and seemed worthy of discussion and this is a discussion board not an agreement board I really don't know what kind of work goes into programming firmware to Nintendo's standards. I'm guessing a lot

If you want the latency for a given (reviewed) pair of phones, check Rtings.com 2019 Airpods: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/apple/airpods-2-truly-wireless-2019 It's *just* noticeable on my Powerbeats Pro using the menu to just tap back and forth between apps.

Looking through Rtings it looks like basically everything has terrible latency over the SBC codec the Switch is stuck with Sony XM4s for example do 38ms to iOS over AAC or 60ms to Android over LDAC, but SBC is 212ms
