Control Ultimate Edition already came out didn’t it?

Why would they list the console specs on the presentation running order? Why????

 

Also I thought it said the price was 3995 which seemed a bit steep.

Native 8k confirmed. 

[Boothjan]

They will definitely release a Switch 'Pro' or whatever it'll be called, because I only just bought a Switch.

 

Happens all the time.  I bought an XB1 - XB1X announced mere days later.  I bought a PS4.  PS4 Pro announced mere days later.

Because it isn't real.

"New" Nintendo Switch... no charger included.

I think you might be onto something here.

I have it on good authority that the Switch Pro will launch with extra flops under the flaps.

I would like to flip this flap to see the extra flops.

You will need to be wearing flip flops for the flaps to work.

[mdn2]

I dunno guys. I'm flip flopping about whether there'll be extra flops under the flaps. What if when we flip the flap it turns out we're flopless?

FLAPPY BIRD LAUNCH GAME CONFIRMED

Never flip your flaps with your flops.

Well of course it would have nVidia Deep Learning *checks notes* Luper-Sampling 2.0, it can run on the large array of tensor cores a mobile chipset is bound to have.

One of nvidias mobile chips does have tensor cores on it.

You mean like a laptop chip or something like a tablet/phone? I know that some smartphone SoCs have some ML acceleration in there but I didn’t think nVidia’d brought it out that widely yet.

It was the xavier SOC's used on cars. Tegra class. Typicaly they run at 10 or 15 watts which is the same as the OG switch uses when docked.

[Alex W.]

Oh shit that might actually happen then.

I've got the Hori TPU rubber grip thing to make the Switch Lite a little grippier to hold.

 

Does anybody know if the console will still fit in the Hori carry case if that slip thing is kept on the console?

[grounded_dreams]

Interesting discussion from some of the Easy Allies team about what they are looking forward to and predictions for 2021:

 

 

[unleashedmaniac]

I see that Satisfye are finally selling the grips through Amazon in the UK. Pricing is £29 for the Switch Lite version and £31 for the Switch version.

 

Although expensive, I'm guessing this is the cheapest option to get one in the UK at the moment?

[Yuujiin]

I have one of these. Only down side it has no rumble,gyro controls or Amibo functions. I don't use any so this suits me fine. Plus it's like having a full sized controller in your hands.

 

Hori Nintendo Switch Split Pad Pro https://g.co/kgs/B7u6s2

[Marlew]

The Hori Split Pad is significantly better for handheld use than the Satisfye grip. I loved the Satisfye, it's really comfortable and only bought the Hori on a curious whim. Never gone back, two years on or something. The benefits of proper sticks, buttons and triggers are beyond comparison.

This.

 

I feel like this should just be in the signature of every post in the Switch thread. That and how to repair Joycon drift.

[Wickedkitten]

I’m pretty pleased because I sent my left joycon in to get fixed on the 4th and despite them saying there is a huge backlog and it would take about five weeks, they actually posted it back this morning. 
 

cant really see myself going back to using them after getting a pro controller though, it’s too good plus it doesn’t make my hands numb using it

Yep the pro pad is fantastic. Haven’t used the joy cons since getting a second one as switch is almost permanently docked.

I wasn't aware of the Hori Split pad until this thread so thanks for the tip! Are there any split pads that can double up as a proper pad when/if combined together for docked/free-standing mode? Is that even technically possible?

Yes, the joycon.

Opening to the floor. A further clue- not the joy-cons, but maybe third party with Pro style buttons and sticks......

Went to play Animal Crossing last night and turning the Switch on it said my SD card wasn't recognised. It had been recognised all day, but not last night.

 

Anyway, reseating it didn't work, but a different card was fine. And the SD card when put in my Mac was fine.

 

Backed up the card, reformatted in the Switch, and then left it to download 450GB of games again.

 

Animals are fine, thankfully.
