Have you picked up a Switch? If so, what do you think.

  • Haven't had any raptor screeching sounds emitting from a glitchy system, haven't had any left joy-con desyncing. No dead pixels, nothing wrong with it. Except the lack of games. Have had a blast with Zelda, but I'm just now finishing it. (Minus the Koroks.) Otherwise it's comfy as heck, just wish the OS had a bit more life to it. It's kinda boring and "dead" right now, wish it had something.

  • Like, music or sound effects. The eShop doesn't even have any music and it's a foreign and scary thing when you listen to the music for the Wii U and 3DS's eShop. But the OS still looks incredibly crisp and feels user friendly. Too crisp. Half of me likes it, the other half wants a bit more flavour. It's a difficult to describe system, that's for sure.

  • It's great! Just got a new one for my room and my lights work really well!

  • i picked one up and i was surprised at how light it was. i was expecting to strain a little bit.

  • Its great. Perfect for doctor visits with my grandmother (which are often). Its also my preferred system for indie titles that aren't graphically demanding. My only issues are the d-pad on the joy cons, lazy 30fps ports of 60fps games, no virtual console (yet), and the inability to backup saves physically (granted I could see cloud saves as a future paid online feature.)

  • @Switchful Does the OS support different types of controllers? I hated how the Wii U could only use the Gamepad. @Trav That's great to hear. Is the 3 hour battery life an issue? For the others, do you play it for a long time, or do you pick up and go?

  • I still only have the Joy-cons, Pro controllers were sold out. at least they're still comfy

  • I quite like the Joycons. I was surprised how well they fit when I tried them. But ngl, I would've liked them a bit bigger.

    Yeahs0
  • A bit bigger would be nice, yeah. But surprisingly even with my beef fingers they still fit like a glove. I can easily nudge the right control stick while pushing the ABXY buttons without it feeling too foreign in it's current size.

  • @Burgundy: Not yet but I could see that being an annoyance while traveling.

  • Will fellas, apparently a Switch Mini could be out soon, so woo

    Yeahs0
  • Odd, normally they make XL's first. Last time they made a mini for portable was the Gameboy Micro, and I think the Wii for home consoles. Granted, this is probably just for portability, if they're stretching that aspect more. I'd be all for a Switch XL, despite going to need to have to carry it in a case. Normal Switch easily fits in a hoodie pocket, or baggy short pockets.

  • Update: Still not experiencing raptor screeches, dead pixels, or de-syncing, but the left spot on the console you click the left Joy-Con into no longer keeps the Joy-Con completely stable. It sticks, but a few Newtons of force can easily push it out with no button press. I've been pushing the back button of the Joy-Con every time to take it out, but I might have been pulling the controller early.

  • @Burgundy - You could use more controllers on the Wii U besides the Gamepad.. you could use all controllers from previous systems dating back to the Gamecube! You could even use the 3DS as a controller in Smash Brothers! I'm not getting a Switch yet.. currently not worth it!
