Is this a decent card/price? Trying to go all-digital.
Also does anyone have any experience with the Magic-NS? I have a PS4 controller laying around but no PS4 so I figured it might work better than a Pro Controller...

At this point I almost recommend a 200-256gb card if you are going all digital. That price shows up in Canadian for me but it seems like a good value.
So guys I must have been to excited. Is there a warranty document in the box when you buy the system? I checked mine but don't see anything. Though everything is Japanese.
I just want to vent some frustration with Nintendo just leaving money on the table with JoyCons.
Am I fucking crazy?
Hori is making a JoyCon with a D-Pad but no rumble, gyro, wireless mode. But it's also only $25.
;)
For $30 each I would collect tons of JoyCon retro throwback controllers.
I thought we were finally getting a Game Cube one during Smash Direct but it was a fake out.
To be clear, this is what I'm talking about:

Money on the table!
Who cares if some of these wouldn't be practical for full time use? At $30 it's all about the novelty and the fun of collecting, making frankenstein consoles.
The retro-themed standard JoyCons are also odd ommissions, they'd sell like gangbusters.
Consider this: people have been buying special edition handhelds despite already owning those systems forever. There are people who have multiple 3DSs because one has Link and the other has Pokemon.
Now you can collect stuff and change the system however you want for a lot less!
More fun and a lot more practical than Amiibo, IMO.

I'm buying one of those Hori joycons on day one. I was not expecting to buy so many Neo Geo fighters when I bought a Switch, lol, and the non-d-pad on the regular joycons is not optimal. I do feel proud though in that I can still play Garou decently with a regular joycon!
Get the "not so dock" dock.
https://www.amazon.com/BASSTOP-Portable-Nintendo-Replacement-original/dp/B071YVC3NJ
You have to do a little bit of working transferring the official dock innards into the new shell you just got, but it's worth it for sure.
So I know these two aren't really comparable, but I'm between buying Hollow Knight, Breath of the Wild, and Battle Chasers: Nightwar. Which one is your personal favorite? I don't have a ton of time to game anymore but am really interested in all three. The more satisfying/"happy" the better, probably.
With little time.. Hollow Knight. With little time, and longevity, BotW.
Yeah but I liked the idea of having one dock at home, stationary, and another at work, stationary too.
So........finally picked up a Switch from GAME yesterday. Got Breath of the Wild, the console and a carry case for £304 in total. The Switch itself was pre-owned, however was brand new (all still in original sealed packaging). Have since also got Mario Kart 8 and Kirby, and downloaded Fortnite. And got a Hori controller and a screen protector.
Do I need a power adapter for that to work? (sorry, see edit)
Would assume so. I use the one that came with my dock to directly charge the switch. I haven't done the dock thing as I can't get it here.
It can be stationary. I use mine on my streaming desk. You can simply use one really. Instead of having the cost of two docks. It's small enough to fit in one hand. Just carry it, and the power adapter, easy. Otherwise, you're going to have to put forth the money to buy two docks. If you try and go the cheaper 3rd party dock, well, there's a risk involved in that. You can buy two of the replacement cases I linked to, buy another official dock, and have one at home and one at work.
There isn't as far as I know. You have to have a dock, or dock solution. Without either of those, you can't connected it to a tv properly.
Right, but you still have to use a power supply. That's what I meant when saying "dock solution". Probably could have worded that better.
The C-Force "adapter" is what I've tested. It's ok for the most part, but not reliable. Sometimes it worked fine, sometimes it didn't work at all. /shrugs

You can read the reviews, and they are pretty much in line with what I experienced.
Does anyone have these can tell me if they slip off the joy cons? i bought similar ones from ebay but they were so loose!

I purchased an eshop card to pre-order Mario Aces but when I scratched it off it removed like 4 digits. Nintendo has to open a case and email me back in two business days.
Something really weird is happening with my Switch online.
Maybe my memory is failing me tho.
When am I supposed to be shown as when online, is there an icon or text to check so I can be sure I'm online?
Is the green dot beside your profile shown only if you have a pending friend request?
I'm never shown as online even if the console is, I need to play a game where there's some sort of online component (like ACA's leaderboards) and if I hit the home button to exit the game and check my profile it says OFFLINE SINCE 1 Minute (or similar wording), never ONLINE.
I have like 50 friends.
I NEVER see them online anymore, something that before I would see all the time. Their profiles are always offline, but I can check their games list and playtime activities. Up until 3 or 4 weeks ago I'd see them popping up as online all the time, even 10 or more online at the same time... nothing since, can't be real.
Also maybe I'm wrong but iirc it also told me how long has it been since a friend was online last time? Now all of them just have OFFLINE.
Checked my profile/account setting and they're all set to allow notifications, to get friend requests, to show my games and activity to friends etc.
Any help? Going crazy!

I had the same thing happen to me. If you can give them enough of the code, they'll give you the rest of it. I did it by phone on a weekday.
Yeah I tried and they said they could only provide the first 8 and it's the last that are destroyed. So it has to go to some admin to approve and it takes like 2-3 business days.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, if I register a game cart to my Switch to get the gold points, does it "lock" the game to my Switch or can I still lend it to friends?
You're automatically online when in games if you're connected.
You go offline when you go back to the dashboard so that's why you never see yourself online when looking at your own profile.
Not tried them but if your after them for handheld mode I brought these, they stay on very firmly but they could be bit more thicker :

Ended up ordering this ethernet adapter. Going to test it out on Splatoon 2 tonight. The random drops with full WiFi signal were getting pretty annoying, hopefully this will remedy that.

I just recently got a Switch and I've got Zelda and Xenoblade 2. I'm thinking about getting a Bayonetta 2 but I'm not sure if I should get a pro controller instead. I really just want to play it portable most of the time but if using a pro controller is that much better I'll get one.
My launch Switch died recently, random orange screen while undocked and in sleep mode.
I got it to work a few times by holding down the power button til it turns off fully, giving it some time, then turning it back on, but while trying to diagnose it (by enabling flight mode and a bunch of other nonsense) i cannot get it to boot anymore at all.
Only see the Nintendo logo, then around 10 seconds later the orange screen.
No 3rd party products used, all official and well kept, just bad luck I guess.

The pro controller is great, but I suggest you stick with what you have for now. Especially if your main use ends up being handheld. The games you have play perfectly well with joycons. As time goes on you might find you want a more standard controller, especially for games like Splatoon or Rocket League, then maybe look into one. Though I did prefer playing Bayonetta 2 with a pro controller...
thanks. I'll see about getting a pro controller when it's on sale or something.
I have far too many switch accessories but just ordered the rlsoco case that wirecutter recommends. I already have the butterfox case they recommend for when I'm only transporting the switch undocked. But the rlsoco looks perfect for carrying around everything. Been using a backpack that isn't exactly for the switch lol. Figure I should use a proper case since I'm going to bringing my switch around alot for smash. Also helps its discounted for like 20% off atm.

Worked pretty seamlessly. Switch auto-recognized it, did a quick network test and then downloaded Fortnite. Only time will tell if it actually helps with dropping from Splat matches.
In a bit of a dilemma at the minute. My Switch which I bought at launch has a joy con problem. The right Joy Con latch is faulty and slides off without pressing the button (pretty sure this is a well know issue).
Amazon are only offering a total refund on the full unit... if I bought another Switch, could I transfer everything to a new Switch? User profiles, game played time, game saves etc. so it is essentially a full transfer?

Decided to get an official Pro controller, was getting fed-up of having to swap to the Joy Con to do some shrines in BotW then back to the Hori Pad. Least i got it for a decent price (sub £40, Argos messed me around and gave me a voucher as an apology).
When i'm at home, i leave the Switch docked and play on the big screen. It's only when i travel i take it with me, which is most of the time. I'm happy using the joy cons on the move. Got my Switch dock wired up using the stuff i had with the WiiU, i had to as the WiFi is terrible at times.

I don't think you can transfer the game saves or play time. Personally I'd just get a new right joycon, it'd be easier and less of a hassle.
You can move a User and associated saves to another Switch, provided you have both Switch consoles at the same time to facilitate the transfer.

So what power bricks are okay to use with the switch? At some point I have to do 11/14 hour flight.
Is it possible to use a PS4 stick with my Switch? Is there an adapter I can buy or something?
How's the Hori d-pad? What I really want is for them to switch the position of the thumbstick and the pad.
I just asked my group chat who was getting Mario Tennis on Friday and followed it up with "fuck, another Switch game." I've barely scratched the surface of Hollow Knight, never 100%ed Yoku like I wanted, haven't touched the Octo Expansion, and am probably not going to bother with the Octopath Traveler demo before release. How are people saying there aren't games on this thing?!
