I've SWITCHed! - General discussion - WARNING IN POST 1

TitianGerm

Does anyone here use wireless headphones with the Switch? Thinking of picking up a wireless dongle so I can connect the Switch to my Bose headphones.

Quick, possibly stupid, question. I have my switch set as the main account with my daughter linked, if I download Mario Rabbids on my own switch from the US store, is it possible for her to also play it through her own switch?

I'm awaiting delivery of this... Hopefully next week. Id read positive review on it, and I like its small form factor.

This is the one (or very similar to) that has been mentioned here a couple of times. It can do two headsets at the same time, and when docked. Could be the one they are referring to.

This one seems to be similar but cheaper - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07WD39PZM

Great thanks. I had come across this one and that's what had me asking.

If I needed a headset for the Switch I'd probably go for this though.

I picked up one of these - Gulikit Route Air - a few months ago - havent used it that much. There is some small lag thats noticeable but my headphones do not support APTx Low Latency (just standard APTx) which is what you need for lagless audio. So make sure you have that codec support before you buy new headphones (those headphones linked above do not have any APTx support so I would avoid buying them for this use)

Weird... But yes the gulikit one linked above from amazon

Finally jumped on the Switch bandwagon yesterday, picked up an OG model with BOTW.

Also signed up for Nintendo online - seems outrageously good value at €19.99 for 12 months, given all the NES & SNES game access etc. Also Tetris 99 is wildly addictive.

Can any of the NES or SNES games be downloaded for offline use at all?

Sorry, probably been answered several times before!

You don't need to be online to play the nes or SNES games, they are already downloaded. You need online access once a week I think it is to check your subscription is active.

Does this work in handheld only, or can it be used while docked?

According to the questions on the amazon page

Question: Does this work when its in the dock ?? Or do i have to buy extra bits for it
Answer:
Yes it does! It comes with a USB 3.0 to USB C adapter to plug into the USB socket on the side of the dock. I have tested this, and can confirm it works

I've been given a Splatoon 2 bonus gear code, its of no use to me as I don't have the game.

Free to whoever shouts first!

I see that tomorrow is the Switch's third anniversary. It would be a lovely day for a Nintendo direct, a nice shadow drop (MP trilogy?) or maybe a chunky firmware update.

Wishful thinking?

As much as I'd love to see 3 again, I would rather see 4, which had been supposedly almost finished years ago!

I think it's terrible value for money but will keep it as its needed for the Mario maker levels.. also no harm in me completing a link to the past again.

Overall though I love the switch, I don't know why I waited so long to get it.

Yikes. Castlevania Symphony of the Night just launched on mobile. Switch version please? Pretty please?

Konami need to launch a classic collection too many to name really Metal Gear Silent Hill Mystical Ninja Castlevania etc etc

CiDeRmAn

SotN on the Switch would be simply excellence incarnate.
If they could also release The Orange Box and have Black Mesa/Portal 2 on there it would be the greatest thing of all time, forwards and backwards.

CastorTroy

With the new season of Castlevania out this week, it would be a good time for a Switch release for both Castlevania and netflix
