Nintendo Switch Thread

[bork]

I've been using this third-party dock [for TV playing in a different room from what I keep the official dock] for a couple of months now:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PY85MJC

The dock can be a little finicky, but it's worked alright so far and I haven't had any problems with the Switch.

I see at least one review from last month saying it bricked their Switch.  Stuff like that is enough to keep me away.

The DIY replacement that Occam posted seems safer.

[Occam]

Found a shell that's probably better (you retain the LED and spring loading mechanism): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0759CH5Q3/

These shells may actually be better than the original dock by Nintendo because they allow for better ventilation. People are saying their Switch remains much cooler when using one of them.

[Cindi Mayweather]

last gen was fine (it lasted like 50 years so of course there will be good and bad) but devs deciding to pursue cinematic garbage in games was certainly a detriment, aka most of sony 1st party was complete shit. don't @ me about how much you enjoyed uncharted or last of us or whatever trash cause i don't care about your terrible taste.

Fighting games and re-releases of classics were the best part of last gen imo

Gen started great the  went down the toilet

Anyone have a screen protector? Not sure if I should get one. I'm paranoid, but careful with my things.

[Occam]

Yes, a tempered glass screen protector. Feels great, much better than the actual screen. Switch has a relatively soft plastic screen and it can even get scratched by the dock. If you don't use a protector, you are going to get micro scratches (or worse) sooner or later.

[mormapope]

I heard that if you sneeze on the Switch screen, the system becomes contaminated and the screen WILL fall off after six months.

Stay safe, stay clean.

[Occam]

There are two kinds of Switch owners. Those with screen protectors and those who don't mind scratches.

[pilonv1]

If you even think about putting the Switch in the dock it's guaranteed to at least scratch up the back of it, and probably the front.

[tiesto]

I really hope we get that Ninja-kun compilation in the states... and while we're at it, gimme some Super Chinese...

Ya ur paranoid

[kingv]

I just have one of the plastic screen protectors. It seems to work.

I have a tempered glass protector on my phone, and now my screen protector is scratched and I’m not sure how to get it off 🤷‍♂️

[Sho Nuff]

Oh yeah, the first thing I did was the mod where you put little felt pads on the inside of the dock. Hell of a design oversight.

How did you manage to install the screen protector without getting air bubbles? The bane of my existence.

[Akala]

paranoid as well, I got an amfilm protector on mine. tbh it's not scratched or anything.

I think with the pads you're probably fine.

RE: bubbles i don't think glass ones give as much issue with this as thicker plastic but it's not something I do a lot of? use a credit card lol

[Cindi Mayweather]

Post good screen protector plz

[Cindi Mayweather]

Also got Castlevania collection. Dracula III on the go, baby.

About time Konami gave the superior Castlevania (classic CV) some love. Only thing missing is Rebirth. And Rondo I guess.

[Akala]

Post good screen protector plz

I got this one.

Yep that's the one I got too. Works great

[Occam]

Why you should use a screen protector:

[Cindi Mayweather]

Jesus.

*orders screen protector immediately*

[Human Snorenado]

Is this the best controller adapter for the Switch, and does it work well with the DS4? I swear to fucking god my 8bitdo controller hates pairing with my Switch and the joycon drift is awful.

Look into a brook.

Brook has a highly reputable name especially in fighting games. I’d suggest them over Mayflash any day.

"why you should order a screen protector"

"watch this guy attack his switch with an exacto knife and forcefully bend the joycons to the breaking point"

"this is normal behavior for capital G gamers - BE CAREFUL"

Yes, it is fantastic and is well supported. I applied the latest firmware update and then it worked perfectly, including rumble and motion control. The correct setting for Dualshock 4 is purple. Plug it into your Switch and then plug the DS4 into the adapter once to register the controller. Set Switch to "wired controller". Done.

You never know when you might have a heated gaming moment, stay safe fam.

He showed that the screen is easily scratched when touched by objects that are a 3 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which is pretty soft. Glass is more than three times as hard. As comparison, pure copper has a hardness of 3, and that's not really hard at all.

[demi]

Ok, but we already know the Switch is prone to scuffs and marks from the Dock alone, don't need some sped with a knife to tell me that

[demi]

I appreciate the video man. Whenever I get attacked by a crazed knife weilding maniac I will know I am in deep shit because all I have on me is my Switch

[Occam]

It's not about the rest of the video, which after all is from a channel that tests the durability of phones and other portable devices until the breaking point.
It's not to show that you can destroy stuff, it's to show exacly how much force does what.
Unless I misunderstood you, you said it was paranoid to use a screen protector on Switch, which it isn't if you want it to remain free of scratches.

[demi]

No, I think he's paranoid over it because he's clearly careful enough to not shove a Switch in with his car keys or a giant knife -- he already "modded" his Dock with foam pads from the start.

He's more than welcome to buy twenty screen protectors as long as it's through an amazon referal link though.

[BisMarckie]

If my Switch is all scratched up I just buy a new one.

Don‘t want people to think of me as some virgin who cares about his consoles.

[kingv]

Switch is a fucking Moh Bomba.

Also, it only plays kiddy games and ports.

Just ordered, it'll be here tomorrow. Thanks!

I assume the Switch screen's plastic because of durability; won't shatter like Gorilla Glass.

BTW I am playing Dragon's Dogma and this game is the shit. Can't believe I missed this first time around. Best portable system ever

[demi]

Ya it's your fault we won't get a sequel. Sleep on that

[Cindi Mayweather]

[Svejk]

Dragon's Dogma is the goddam bee's knees.  Fuck every other game.

[Occam]

It makes sense they didn't use glass but it really should come with a plastic screen protector preinstalled, which would probably cost Nintendo less than 5 cents a piece.

[Sho Nuff]

FU I bought it at launch to support my roommate who was the producer on it, but I never played it

I mean yeah that makes me a bad roommate but at least Daddy Capcom got my yens

[demi]

Does Switch version have the SUPERIOR intro song

[Sho Nuff]

Blasphemous has some absolutely amazingly creepy settings. Finding it quite cool so far, although the gameplay isnt all that amazing.

I hope you write your memoirs. You’ve led a very interesting life.

i seen some shit man. maybe if I change the names of the companies and position it as fiction

“Jeremy Katomi and Hamburger Miyamata, creators of games that inspired such classics as Bubsy 3D and Giana sisters  would constantly talk about loli in company listservs.”

[bork]

Firmware update is up- actually adds features, including invites to people on your friends list to play games online HOLY SHIT YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR FRIENDS LIST NOW 

[Tasty]

HOLY SHIT A USEFUL FRIENDS LIST??

[bork]

Nintendo beginning to get close to Sony and Microsoft 2006 online levels 

[CatsCatsCats]

That’s good, but I’m not going to shower them with praise for basic functionality lol

[nachobro]

fingers crossed for parties and console level voice chat for switch 2

cloud saves for all games by switch 3 here we go

[kingv]

Switch vitality sensor is what we really need.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Celeste and Undertale both on sale

[Cindi Mayweather]

Also watch and learn Sony. Nintendo allows you to go to eshop without closing the game you’re playing.

edit: is detention good?

[Chooky]

i really couldn't get into super meat boy, but i was never sure if that was because of the gameplay or because of the newgrounds edgelord theme. always made me hesitant to try out celeste.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Is Celeste by the same people? I love Meat Boy.
