Dre801 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 LOL. I've been about getting one for a long time. By the time I decide to pull the trigger, a successor will be officially announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of of all the systems I can. Games never go on sale so I’d rather buy cartridges and trade with friends. I’m not going to resell but that’s an option too. Also no need for memory card. I get pissed when a friend gets a game like links awakening digitally. Perfect game to lend to friends.

Dodger Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 So my gf managed to snag me one off Best Buy for regular price and will arrive Wednesday. But it's just the system. So now I need a pro controller and the memory card. It's just regular micro SD card I need right? Hopefully I can get those without much hassle because I'd prefer to be all digital.

crispy4000 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 You don’t need a Pro controller unless you can’t stand the cradle or need a dpad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can get those without much hassle because I'd prefer to be all digital. I got mine this week courtesy of @JPDunks4 I got a 256 gb micro sd card for 60 bucks... marked down from 90 bucks at best buy. I also got the pro controller which is AWESOME and three games. Breath of The WILD, Mario Kart and Mario Odyssey... this is the first ninetendo console I've owned since the game cube. Also BOYW is AMAZING so far. Micro sd cards should be hard to find. The pro controller was sold out near me except at target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Great so I have to go on another hunt to get the other stuff? I'll check out the pro controller and SD cards at Walmart this weekend, They did have a pro controller a few weeks ago last time I seriously looked. Looks like I can find them online without too much of a problem if they don't have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 For micro SD, just make sure you pay attention to the data transfer speeds instead of just buying the cheapest thing you can find. A quick Google search will tell you what to look for. For the Pro controller, also shouldn't be that hard to find, and is often available for at least $5-$10 off MSRP.

Jason Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Also IMO you'll find yourself wanting a Pro controller, but you can always start with trying the Joycons in the provided grip and see what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my friends is trying to get one and we drove around to four or five different stores today and couldn't find any. There was a Fred Meyer that said they had 7 and when we called, they couldn't find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Got a pro controller and a 128gig sd card today because they didn’t have anything bigger so I should be all set for Wednesday when it comes. About how many games can I put on that size card. Never played an Animal Crossing game before but it seems to be crack to a good number if you do maybe I’ll check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Ended up getting New Super Mario Bros Deluxe, Mario Odyssey, BOTW, and Xenoblade DE. Friend Code is 4229 0216 4323. Still interested in quite a few games but will have to wait for the next sales so I figured I'd start with the basics plus Xenoblade just because I never played it and I'll pick up others as they go on sale again.

skillzdadirecta Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 How durable is The Switch? can it survive a drop or two? It feels a bit flimsy. Do you guys have cases for when it's in portable mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys have cases for when it's in portable mode? I'm pretty sure it's designed to survive a drop considering the screen is plastic and not glass. Plus it's Nintendo, so they presumably designed it with careless kids in mind. However, because it's plastic, despite fucking babying mine when I first got it I STILL got a gouge right in the middle of the screen. I feel like the first thing anyone should do when taking their Switch out of the box is immediately applying a glass screen protector.

I don't really feel like going and testing this out on my Switch but I feel like I'd be more worried about the glass screen protector than the console itself if you drop it. For portable mode I have a carrying case which has proven very durable--I shove it into the bottom of my travel backpack and have had no issues putting it under the seat in front of me, in the overhead, etc, on flights. The Hori stand slots in nicely between the joycon joy sticks in the netted area in the top half of the case. Then I have a carrying case for my Pro controller, and I keep the Pixel charger I bought back in 2017 as my Switch travel charger in that case's netted top half area. If I bring my cartridge games I just place that case into my backpack separately. I find propping the Switch on the Hori stand on the hotel desk and then using the Pro controller to be a pretty nice way to play while traveling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't either but like I said, I'm pretty sure drop durability is why the screen is plastic and not glass. I feel like the worst that could happen is the joycons popping off, but probably not even that because that lock feels pretty secure.
