My new switch rumor logic goes like this1. I am not getting any new games via digital because if a new switch comes out I am going to want to be able to, uh, switch between switches (kid and dad)2. By forcing my family to not enjoy new games until we can acquire a cartridge and swap it in, I am increasing the likelihood that new switch models will come true

3. I am an idiot who thinks Nintendo will cut me a break for being a 2-Switch household and discount our online subs
― El Tomboto, Saturday, 29 June 2019 22:58 (five years ago) link
they have a family plan for online already, its $35 instead of $20/year and covers up to 8 switches iirc
― ciderpress, Saturday, 29 June 2019 23:21 (five years ago) link
Up to 8 individual accounts, no particular limit on switches.

omg I <3 katamari damacy on the switch. Dad is always SO disappointed in me on the make the moon level. I don't care if I ever roll up godzilla and those weird luchador/superhero dudes wading in the ocean, just want it to never end. And now Animal Crossing is coming in March; I may never be heard from again.

Loving that lemon-yellow & white color scheme; it looks delicious. Also WTF @ the apparent existence of Switch games that don't support handheld mode?
― Auld Drink of Misery (zchyrs), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 13:42 (five years ago) link
The inability to have game data reside on more than one switch is still a show stopper for us, I think.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 13:45 (five years ago) link
We’ve barely used ours in handheld mode, maybe two times tops?
― L'assie (Euler), Wednesday, 10 July 2019 13:50 (five years ago) link
Ours spends 99% of its playing time in handheld mode running Splatoon 2. If I could transfer the data from the old one to a Lite model then that might work.
― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 13:53 (five years ago) link
xp theres like 3 or 4 party games that dont support handheld becuase they use the joycons in a specific way that requires them to be detached e.g. 1-2 switch, mario party
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 14:15 (five years ago) link
i'd be tempted to double up on a vita-sized switch but this isn't that much smaller than the existing one. like the colors and the real dpad though
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 14:18 (five years ago) link
Tombot all games support local wireless data migration between two switches and i believe if you pay for online any games with cloud saves will synchronize.

Hopefully the fact that one comes in all turquoise will help lead my 8yo to the RIGHT DECISION and I will be able to finish my play through of The Octopants Travesty

One of the reasons I rarely play handheld is screen glare, tbh.
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 16:38 (five years ago) link
Ooh, I may get one of these. I've been holding off for a price drop and also Do Not Own A TV, and so was anticipating that I'd be playing mostly handheld anyway.
― jmm, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 19:00 (five years ago) link
While using a non-primary console, you must have an active Internet connection to play downloadable content.
So ... if you have a Switch and you want this Switch lite to just play on the go, you can't? Unless you switch the primary account on your Switches?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 10 July 2019 23:11 (five years ago) link
I don't get it. It doesn't switch. It sames. The nintendo same.

if you have a switch you already have a switch that can play on the go
― ciderpress, Thursday, 11 July 2019 02:09 (five years ago) link
We already have a Switch but that’s “we”; sometimes more than one of us wants to play something, or someone is traveling alone, etc

Some comment from NoA President Doug Bowser in some outlet today that there will be a better story around bouncing between devices but who knows what that’ll actually look like.

the mythical "switch pro" turns out to just be a revision of the base switch with longer battery life

that's good - it needs a longer battery life

stealth upgrade without a separate model? interesting, not very Nintendo-like
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 15:58 (five years ago) link
they changed the box and added -001 to the model number, it's not a stealth upgrade

Can anybody vouch for Dragon Quest Builders 2 on Switch? I'm on the fence; I played through the demo and enjoyed it, but the choppy frame rate put me off a little. The PS4 version isn't an option for me.
