 NINTENGOONS DISCORD SERVER https://discord.gg/nnH4wXF Great place for questions and stuff  Released March 3rd, 2017, Nintendo Switch is the latest console from your friends at the house of Mario. This thread is intended primarily for discussion on the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch news, however, large corporate news about Nintendo in general is welcome here. New and information about 3DS and mobile games should primarily go in other Nintendo threads. Fan created memes that aren't directly from a game should go directly into PYF or something. What is a Switch? Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console, a tablet running on an NVidia processor, which can be played as a handheld or placed in a dock hooked to your TV or monitor. When hooked to a dock, the Switch runs in a higher power mode due to not being concerned with battery life.  What is this crazy controller? Nintendo Switch has a few controller options. Number one, included with the system, are the Joycon(Joycon is singular and plural). Taken together they act as one controller, or they can be used seperately as two controllers for simpler games.  Each controller has "HD rumble" (uses a linear actuator, similar to a speaker, rather than a simple rotating motor, to generate more subtle vibration) and gyro motion control. The right contoller has an IR camera and an NFC reader. + and - are your start and select equivalents. There is a screenshot button on the left joycon and a home button on the right. The rails allow you to slide each controller onto the Switch itself or into a Joycon Strap, which makes each controller's sR and sL button easier to access. Additional pair of Joycon cost $80 but can be found for less. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Con-Pair-L-R-Neon-Red-and-Neon-Blue-45496590130/55449978  The Pro controller has all of these features as well, except for the IR camera. It retails at $70 but can often be found on sale. It has an extremely long battery life.  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Switch-Pro-Controller-Black-HACAFSSKA-00045496590161/55485228 Details -Nintendo Switch costs $300 -Comes with a USB Type-C charger, HDMI cable, left and right Joycon, Joycon grip, two Joycon straps, and Switch dock. Battery off dock runs from 3 hours(low end, graphics intensive game) to 7 or 8 hours(2d game like Shovel Knight) depending on wifi and brightness settings. Joycon batteries last about 20 hours, and charge by being attached to the Switch, or another (not included) charger. The Pro controller lasts about 50 hours and can plug into any USB port. -Up to 8 Switches can connect to each other for multi-player, either wirelessly or by LAN(LAN adapter required) -A paid on-line subscription service launched in September 2018. $20, detailed below -NO REGION LOCKING. You can create an account for other region eShops and play games you buy there with whichever account on your system you want. Adding currency to your account may be tricky. -Has a capacitive touch screen, meaning it registers more than one touch -Uses micro SD cards; Switch has only 32GB on-board memory, so if you plan on downloading many titles, you'll need one. -Nintendo Switch uses cartridges -Switch is more powerful than the WiiU, but won't really measure up strength-wise to other consoles. It can run ports of modern games like Doom and Wolfenstein 2 decently enough - You can log into any Nintendo Switch with your account and play your own digital titles, but if you are not on your primary Nintendo Switch you must be online to do so. The game will kick you out after 3 hours of not being online. On your primary Nintendo switch, there are no online checks for any of your games. Nintendo Switch Online -$20 for a year membership for one, $35 for a family plan for up to 8. You can add whoever you want to a family plan. As admin you can see whatever they buy, however. - Includes online play(free to play games like Fortnite do not require) - Includes voice chat service on a companion app. While the companion app is no ideal, it actually works quite well. Most people would prefer a system based solution, but the app actually works quite well, give it a shot - Includes NES Online, an ever expanding library of NES games, available regardless of when you subscribed. So far this includes 20 games, with 3 being added each month. These have Nintendo's best NES emulation so far, as well as online multiplayer. For single player games you can control a hand and point out places of interest or applaud your friend - Includes Cloud Saves. Cloud Saves are kept for at least 6 months after subscription lapses so you can re-up. Some games like Splatoon 2 or Pokemon Let's Go are incompatible. Hopefully because they were not designed with that in mind. The official reason is Nintendo worries about savescummming and item duping. Cloud Saves are unlimited - Special offers, this is nebulous so far. Special offers to date include exclusive Splatoon 2 gear and the ability to buy special NES controller joycons. Games Below post Accessories There's a lot of great Nintendo Switch accessories you will be interested in. Here are some popular ones Hori Compact Playstand - Great portale stand that leaves room to run your chargin cable Hard Case for system and Dock - Easily carry system and dock AmFilm Glass Screen Protector Nintendo Switch Screen is plastic and could be prone to scratches, never hurts to get a protector Anker Power Bank - This is an officially licensed power bank by Anker for Nintendo Switch, the only one officially licensed by Nintendo as far as I know 200 gb MicroSDXC SanDisk - If you want to go digital you'll need a big SD card. 200gb is the best value usually 8bitdo SN30 Pro - a great Pro controller alternative a lot of people love, compatible with just about anything, works on Switch with no adapter needed 8bitdo Magic Adapter - Got more controllers? This lets you use basically anything. Wiimote. PS4 controller, Xbone controller, this adapter makes all of them work with the Switch. Orzly Carrying case - When you just want to carry the Switch and some games and small accessories, and don't need the dock Joycon Comfort Grips - 2 pack of grips that make it much more comfortable to play games using a single joycon. Great for multiplayer games where you will be passing around single Joycon controllers USB Ethernet adapter - The switch dock doesn't have an Ethernet outlet, so if you prefer a wired connection you'll need one of these. If something says it is compatible with Wii/WiiU it should be compatible with Switch On the Go cable - Want to use 8Bitdo NSMagic, or an Ethernet adapter, or a wired controller, or GameCube adapter, or USB headphones, but you aren't docked? You need an on the go cable, a usb-c to A/B converter. Then you can plug whatever accessory in even when you aren't docked. Special Editions Holiday Bundles to add later Recommended Social Media Follows GameXplain GameXplain covers all Nintendo news. If there is any new trailer, news, or credible rumors, they will quickly have a video up on it, as well as comprehensive analysis, previews, and reviews. Yes the one guy has a voice that's a little hard to understand sometimes. He had partial hearing loss, cut him some slack Nintendo World Report more Nintendo news and reviews, their guys tend to be older, more jaded, and more rambling. The main reason I link them is they do more reviews. Nintendo Voice Chat Weekly IGN podcast on Nintendo, a fairly good news round up with quick review summaries, eShop summary for the week, and interviews Cornshaq This guy's main gimmick is he reviews about five games a week. These are mostly PS4 versions of games, and usually the cheapo indie games you would never think of playing. But most of these games also have Switch versions, and no one else reviews them, so if you have a spare $5 and are wondering if that game from someone you never heard of but looks kind of interesting is worth your time, his reviews are quite nice.

I’m traveling across the country and regret not bringing my Switch with me. I brought my 3DS instead so I could force myself through my backlog on there but it’s not the same.

I was just gonna ask about TWEWY, is this a big deal? Never played but been into JRPGs lately so had that on my shortlist.quote:The World Ends With You: The Final Remix comes out on October 12 and apparently only allows touch controls while in handheld mode. According to the game’s Nintendo webpage, the game offers Joy-Con controls or touch controls, but seemingly not a combination of the two.. When the original released on the DS in 2007, a combination of face-button and touch controls were used so that players could direct the game’s two main characters simultaneously. The new version of the game apparently offloads this hybrid approach entirely, with users in Japan—where the game is already out—noting that the Joy-Con controls stop registering once they’re attached to the Switch. Unless the North American version is drastically different in some way, which based on reports from when the game was shown at PAX West it doesn’t, this means that in handheld mode it plays similar to the iOS port but with additional story content and a few other extra features.

I love my Switch. I play it on my lunch breaks, I play it at home. My wife and I play Splatoon 2 together online because we each have our own Switch. We have parties where our friends bring their Switches over and we play eight-player Mario Kart. It’s good.

Never played but been into JRPGs lately so had that on my shortlist. Makes sense I guess, I can't imagine how the game would work otherwise. I probably will never use the touch method though so if I play mobile I'm gonna set the system on a table and use Joy-Con pointy controls.
