Yeah, I've been having connection issues with the left joycon too. loving sucks. Really hope they issue a recall or something to fix it. I am fine with the joycons otherwise, but my cat likes to sit on me while I play and it fucks up the controller. They are really small though. I'll probably grab a pro this weekend.

Did anyone get the Nintendo case that comes with the screen protector? I'm trying to gauge the size on it but can't really tell. I just want basically a small soft pouch to keep it from getting dinged up in my bag.

Ok cool. Sounds like a pass for me then since we have really similar needs for a case. A lot of these early accessories seem really shoddy. I think I'll wait a bit and see what comes out on top.

2 Zelda Questions:

1) I'm early on... but I have run into a rock monster and a bunch of spider tank things. I avoided the tank walker things to get to the temple they were near... they seemed (as did the rock giant) to take no damage from my attacks. Are they just a " later" thing? Or was I not doing something right?

2) I found the 3 shrines easily enough... Stasis, Bomb and umm Magnet. I cannot find the 4th. Any help?

I've found a ton of "come back later" enemies. It's totally a valid tactic to run away and go around a lot of the time.

I brought my switch to work yesterday and holy gently caress it feels baller as hell to walk into my living room, dock the switch, pick up my pro controller, lay down on the couch and continue playing from where I was on my lunch break.

The way the sleep mode works is probably my favorite bit. I just turn it on and I'm in the game right where I was in a matter of seconds. It's so good.

Pre-ordered one on Amazon, it's delayed until April. TRU, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon online all have nothing. The stores have nothing as well.

Yeah they're pretty much gone everywhere. I've been using a beanie to keep mine safe in my bag during commutes. Thinking of just going ahead and adding myself to the waiting list for that dumb expensive leather one.

Has anyone had issues with a joycon not working while playing the system in handheld mode? I've twice had to pop a joycon off and back on, or pop it off and press the sync button because it wasn't registering any input at all. This has happened for both left and right joycons.

Also yesterday I was playing Zelda and the fan cranked up really loud on handheld mode, which I'd not experienced before. Not sure why it would be getting hot when I had only been playing for ten or so minutes and I was in an area I'd been before with no issue. :ohdear:

I've had zero issues with the Joycons losing connection when connected to the Switch and knowing they get a physical connection when attached it's hard to understand how it'd lose synch unless the joycons themselves are bonked.

Usually when I first fire up Zelda the fan kicks in high gear and eventually spins down later but yesterday I turned the Switch on after sitting in sleep all day and Zelda froze. Had to hold the power down and reboot it. Kinda worried to see that and I'm hoping it's a one off.

Both times it's happened was when I woke the system up, so it's not like they drop in game like the desync issue, just that it isn't turning on with the rest of the system.

Gyro feels more natural than mouse or stick.

Mouse feels... easy? cheap-o. Unengaging. Yup, there it is, click. Got it. It doesn't feel like you are connected or like physical skill is involved. I know it's more reliable and top-tier competitive and whatnot, but I'm talking about feel and fun, and it's very subjective and experiential.



I want my exciting game box plugged into my bigass TV and with a different input device from doing taxes.

Splatoon felt perfectly natural and like I was actually engaged in what was happening much more than clicking a mouse ever could for me.

I really want Enter the Gungeon and Hyperlight Drifter on the Switch. Though, given the trouble the devs had getting Hyperlight running at 60 FPS even on PC, I don't know how likely that is.

HLD was built in gamemaker which runs at 30 fps by default. It's not like they had performance issues. It's fine.

I want them to backport older indies like Hotline Miami and Spelunky. I know those were on Vita but lol if you think I'm buying a Vita.

Same, but I can understand why they went for a barebones OS - it takes like three seconds to get from sleep mode back into gameplay, and in my experience at least it's rock stable. Streetpass would be really cool but would screw up sleep mode battery drain

No Miiverse is a loving disgrace though

I do miss streetpass, but yeah that was murder on the 3DS battery. The switch is also bulkier. I only pack it when I know for sure I'll be playing on lunch, but I used to Cary my 3DS wherever just in case. I wonder if they plan to offload a similar idea to smartphones at some point in the future.
