Gaming Smack My Switch Up: The Nintendo Switch Discussion Thread (was: NX)

Bayonetta 1 and 2

 

Okami HD if you've never played it on another console.

 

Bought “the kids” a Switch for this Xmas. Now I have to will myself not to “test it out” till 12/25.

Xenoblade 2 will be bought me thinks.

 

That’s good advice.

So do any of y’all play the system with the bought separate normal controller? Do you miss out on the Nintendoness doing so?

 

Got Bayo 1/2 on black friday, and from eshop might gunvolt burst and Azure Striker Dual pack.

So much goodness its gotten me to put D2 down for a week so far.

Havent tried any of the additional controllers (probably should have for bayo), but putting the joycons into the slotted grip controller plastic piece has worked fine so far.

Reaaaaally missed Bayo, Microsoft/sony were fools to let this gem slip away.

Edit: Dont try to grammar late at night when tired.

 

So I've got my switch with Zelda.

More games will be forthcoming.



The joycons are so small though, even when it's in the dock that makes it a little more like a ps paddle.

Any recommendations on what I can do to make them larger? It's rather cramping otherwise.

But the Pro is expensive

I ll be getting one but they are a few $ more then what ya pay for the 2 other consoles. I’ve tried to hold those plastic grips on displays and it just feels wonky.

I just hope I won’t lose out on the Nintendoness playing with one.

 

I've just found a 3rd party pro that's the same dimensions and shape as the GameCube controller.


I'll be getting that next pay day. That was a perfect fit for me.

Ok I bought a 128gb SIM card. How do these games actually work? If you own the physical does it use that minus any updates or does it still download onto the HD like PS4?

I probably won’t buy them any games because I have no clue what they want anyway but I don’t want to ask them and clue them in on I got them a console. I ll buy them some cards so they can get what they want that morning online.

 

Ooooh I have a Switch now (as of end of September) so now I can participate itt as well! Sadly, I'm not on it. Currently plowing through RDR2 on my PS4

 

Any game that requires an additional download is clearly labelled with a large, white banner on the front of the box art.



As for general updates, they aren't installed to the game cartridge. However, updates will always prioritise using the internal storage, rather than the micro sd.

 

Amazon has brought back, in limited forms, preorder discounts. Currently bayonetta 3 preorder is $10 off and i just saw Tales of vesperia is coming to Switch, its 8 dollars off the preorder.

With all the major JRPGs seemingly coming to switch a little after PS4 (or in the case of remasters same day), Im finding it hard to justify buying anything for it, sans H:ZD. Switch is basically my second console now instead of my PS4 when i want single player games.

Preordered Tales of V. Always heard good things but never picked it up. Frankly if i had thought Ff10/12 remasters had a chance of being on anything non Playstation i would have waited to get them as well on Switch.

 

The Pro controller is weirdly expensive, considering it doesn't even have analogue triggers. The DualShock4 has that and a touchpad on the front and is still £10 cheaper. Is the NFC reader that expensive?

 

I thought that had no set release date still?

 

It doesnt, but you can still get 10 off. I thought they were aiming for march 2019 though? Cant remeber last time there was even talk about it.

 

Wait how does a controller NOT have triggers now days?

 

It has triggers, but they're not analogue i.e. pressure sensitive. They're just ordinary buttons.

 

Same here. I mostly use the gamepad when it is required like "Super Mario World" for Captain Toad and the courses that require a touch screen and "Arkham City". Otherwise, I use either the pro controller or the Wiimote when playing other games. Using a Switch pro controller as your main controller doesn't take away the Nintendoness of the games. Especially if you buy games that still require the Joy Con.
