I mean even Aonuma admitted the gamepad disrupts gameplay. I don't think he directly said he was talking about Star Fox, but he said this not long after the release of it.
I was about to bite on a charger too. The test did state that the charger he was using only supported 5V/3A but the actual official a/c adapter was 15V/2.4A. So I am wondering if a 19V or higher, 3A would allow playing and charging.
In my professional opinion as a school teacher, keep his ass home and build some memories!
Thanks, I'll keep an eye out.
Does the switch use QC 3.0 or does it use USB PD? With the included power supply using 15v, that looks more like USB pd to to me.
You won't see movement until Thursday. We have them but orders won't come through the system till Thursday
Same here for the Zelda.
Couldn't agree more. They took a great game and ruined it, for no reason, with motion controls.
Mine have been that way since I applied my gift card balance to them at the beginning of Feb except for Bomberman, since I still owe like $20. That one JUST changed recently.
Did you get charged as well for the console yet? I got charged got my joycon earlier but Switch had some issues with my bank which I had to call and fix but it still says "failed authorization" on the BB website. Wondering if I need to call again.
That is a good question. I tried looking for some info on it, and based on what I could find is that it supports PD 2.0 and its "believed" not to support QC.
I don't think it is worth it personally. The only reason I kept my preorder is because it had a $25 off w/ visa checkout with it.
That looks good. Likely the same theory I have as well. I went ahead and grabbed that one as well to try and see how it works. Amazon is great with returns so no worries there.
Good looking out. I'm wondering based on that if either of these might be good fits then for a portable battery charger. What do you guys think?
I thought I wanted a charging grip too. Then I realized you need an AC adapter to charge the Switch on the go anyways. And when the Switch is charging, the joycons attached to it are charging too.
Charging grip and AC adapter cost the same amount, though, and charging grip comes with a USB-C charging cable. Seems like the charging grip is the smarter buy (although I wouldn't buy either).
Most of these accessories just seem like convenience purchases for families/younger children who don't remember to charge things. Which in turn seems to have only confused people more. I've seen multiple unboxing videos with people showing the charging grip and saying "You can't change the joycons without this."
That's what I was curious about, since I recall an article somewhere where the USB consortium mentioned that QC is not a compliant standard for USB C. Since USB c supports usb 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 Qualcomm just did it anyways for mobile. USB PD (power delivery) allows for a large range of of power standards and if the device, cable and power source are to spec, the device will draw what it can from the power source with no issues at all. If they are not all to spec, you can end up with a burnt paperweight
Theoretically, yes. Pro controller comes with a USB-C cable, too. It's just the cable though, so you still need to plug it into a USB port of some sort (although everyone has 10 of those USB wall plugs at this point). Someone has even charged the Switch via their computer.
Yeah I got charged. I figured out that they changed the status because I noticed my bank account had dipped overnight haha
Thanks lol. I called Best Buy and got the payment updated again and I see another authorization on my charge so hopefully it is fine now. I doubt the system will be too hard to get but I still don't want to end up with everything but the system on March 3rd.
Yup, that's what i've been thinking also, don't find it super necessary tbh.
The only game I can think of that was cancelled due to poor reception is Fable Legends. But I'm sure there has been more examples.
Unless you plan on gaming for 20 hours straight, the Charging Grip will be an unnecessary purchase. You only need it if you're buying an extra set of Joy Cons, since you can't charge two pairs on the Switch tablet.
Yep, the Joy Cons charge when connected to the tablet portion even when you're in portable mode.
A very few select individuals think NS will be as highly coveted as NES Classic.... but I'm pretty sure you find one if you really try during the 1st week.
They're currently not available for purchase, but these are the cases I would go for if I didn't have the one from the ME. They both look snazzy, have the Sheikah eye logo, and both of them are hard shell cases.
My Switch stuff all went to Preparing. I am showing pending charges on my credit card. Am I okay?
Even worse for me. Every time I go into the warehouse I have to look at it
So close yet so far

Same here. Switch and Switch accessories are all preparing but Zelda SE is still status quo as pre-ordered. Actually all my NS switch games, Zelda normal edtion, Bomberman, and 1/2 Switch are all still listed as pre-order status. It may be more difficult to prepare and ship hardware vs software and may be why BBY working on getting it out sooner.
Most GameStops are going to have just under a handful available for walk ins. It looks like Best Buy's will have more walk in units available per store though. Meijer should have some too if you have one of those near you. Idk about any other stores though.
Zelda, 1 2 switch, and Bomberman, the console, joycons, and other launch accessories are all pre paring for me now.
