Nintendo Switch

[Brer Oswald]

It's not every-time, but the XBOX One does that for me too.



How was the experience of playing the Switch on the go?

Switch on the go was really cool, although I haven't been out too much. I've been playing in portable in bed. It's so relaxing and it runs amazingly!

Is it weird that I'm not having any major issues so far? Not to jinx it but...it's been really good for me.

One thing I've found is that I absolutely love the included Joy-Con grip. If I ever buy a Pro Controller it'll be for multiplayer.

I liked the joycons, and the grip is good too. The tiny L/R button (and me mistakenly hitting ZL/ZR) took some getting used to but it's still alright. But the pro controller is sooo much more comfortable. Bigger, more comfortable, buttons are bigger and more spaced apart...it's a normal controller with a great battery life (and gyroscope!) For any extended play time on TV (or portable if you want to take pro controller with you I guess) it's great.

I was going to wait to get it, but I do not regret getting it at all right now.

I'm actually having some of the response issues with my left JoyCon using the grip. No joke.

I haven't had a disconnection issue at all yet. Probably because I play in my room and my bed is pretty close to my TV.

Looks like it was Nintendo's idea to have Skyrim on the Switch.

With how much I'm enjoying Zelda I might give this a chance too if I have the time for it. I still think they should go to Rockstar about porting GTA V too. It's clear that the Switch is capable of running any game that was on PS3/360 which is insane when you think about it. I know it's been over 10 years since they released but still.

It doesn't disconnect, it has slow response or no response at all for the analog stick.

I haven't heard that one before. Sorry to hear that.

I am hoping that for the holiday system the price will be less, or it will include a game.
Hope everyone here who has one is having a good time with it, and if the success continues, then hopefully third parties will start with projects and ports as well.

Same. Heck, even the joycons detached work great!

It's likely that there will be a holiday bundle with Zelda or Mario Kart at the current price, plus if you take Black Friday into account, maybe even less.

I'll take video. The individual joycons holding and on the console are fine, just the grip sucks.

Still loving the hardware.

Bet no bundles from Nintendo but everyone will have some sort of "Mario Kart 8 and Switch for $299" deal to push Mario and Zelda.

To be honest, that's what I think will be the case.

Generally Nintendo has holiday bundles. Wii U has one with Mario Kart, and one with New Super Mario Bros U.

I'm expecting a Pokémon bundle just like they did with Sun & Moon.

A little bit of advice for everyone who has a Switch: go to "News" and watch the trailer for Super Mario Odyssey. It's a gorgeously high quality version of it and just looks so good playing on a Switch
