Got a Switch off of Craigslist, no more going to the store everyday!

I'm having trouble linking my Nintendo Account. I remember someone saying if you have caps in your username it won't work, which I do. Yet it won't even let me use my verified email. Anyone have this issue as well, or should I just call Nintendo?

I had to use my email instead of my user name. Also had to do a password reset. :shrug:

So what is there, exactly, to stop someone from purchasing games from other regions and winning on currency conversion? Isn't there some legal issues with that or..?

Nothing

Ugh if I don't put down Zelda I'm not going to get anything done, it's overwhelming

Ocarina of Time made Zelda 3D and is a drat good game, but Breath of the Wild seems like a real evolution of Zelda in every regard. And it's the first Nintendo game in a long time that has had this much meat to it.

I hope they keep making big open world games like this

Yeah this is my second day with it. Sat down for coffee with it...lost 4 hours and now my loving coffee is cold.

Both my left joycons are fine so it does seem to be a manufacturing defect.

Actually let me double test that. Yeah even behind my back I have to get about 3m away before it cuts out. 6m it's still fine and at that point I have to get behind a wall. So the people who are failing at like 1m totally a defective con compared to mine.

Grey or neon?

I just don't use the dock because Zelda looks washed out on my TV for some reason.

Put one of those joycon grips upside down. Don't recommend. Required an uncomfortable amount of force to remove.

Joycon and grip are fine though. Just scarry.

So I finally got my hands on a Switch, able to try it out for an hour or so. Here are my thoughts on this:

This screen is tiny and utter trash. If I want to appreciate what I am seeing in any way, I need to have the joycons slotted in, holding it close to my face. If I prop this thing up on a table somewhere in a realistic fashion, it's utter trash and lmao @ the thought of playing Skyrim on such a tiny display.

The joysticks on the controllers feel cheap, make awful noises when snapping back, and, generally handle like trash.

There is virtually no space between the bumpers, leaving no space to my rest my index fingers. I have to put them
under the joycons, behind the bumpers.

The "controller" you slot the joycons in feels like a cheaply made chinese knockoff.

I am forced to hold the Switch kinda awkwardly, since the left joystick is really far up, and the right one realy far down. It just does not feel comfortable, and in addition, the thing is quite heavy too.

So yeah. Tiny loving screen, a cheap feeling and an overall lack of comfort makes this a joke, at least to me. 450 bucks for this? Lol.

lmao what even is this

I am sorry, next time I will open my personal criticism and opinions with this:

"I have been a long time Nintendo fan and I play all games they make. I bought all of their consoles and love them to bits. But I have a few concerns about their newest console:"

No need to get defensive because people don't agree with your lovely opinion. Hth

I can't believe I wasted a couple minutes going through the last couple of pages instead of tackling these dozen guys guarding a tower in Zelda.

Maybe cause I grew up at some point I don't get the impulse to go read about things I don't care about/hate. That seems like a sad thing to do with one's self.

And yet here you are posting!

Riding a horse in Zelda to explore feels like using a Skell in Xenoblade to explore in that it completely ruins the experience of getting distracted by the little things that make the game fun.

I've used a horse once and will never use one again.

I don't use fast travel at all. So I like horses auto following paths!

That's from the rubber bit rubbing against the screen. You can probably wipe it off, I was able to.

I tried with microfiber alone. I'll get some cleaner and see if it helps.
