I went into both yesterday, not even got a display for the Switch - madness being half term and all.

 

They took it down? Bizarre.

[rgraves]

Eh? That says nothing about U1 or U3 speed support?

 

Just confirms what I said, that it needs a day 1 update to support SDXC.

 

You high deKay?

Where was it? all I saw was a tiny bit in the Wii u section!

Joke post? The U number is just the UHS equivalent of the Class system for older SD cards, it only signifies the minimum performance for the sequential write speed, the only thing we don't know is how gimped or otherwise the SD card interface is on the NS, the one on the PSP was shit, artificially limiting faster cards to a mere ~8MB/s.

 

I'm thinking of UHS-I and UHS-II, ignore me.

I didn't say it did. You asked about (or replied to) my post saying the update was for SDXC card support, which I pointed you at.

In the Back-of-the-Inns store it was to the right as you walk in.

Yeah I don't think Nintendo have said anything about supported speeds yet, which is the problem. If cards can only be written to at 10MB/S then there's no point buying a U3 card, although at £35 there's probably no harm in buying that Toshiba card anyway. I'm still going to hold off mind.

The Switch doesn't support U3 cards, so it'll only perform at U1 speeds anyway.

Erm...you said this - and I replied asking where/how you knew that?

 

So, let's try this again - how/where makes you know that - that it doesn't support U3?

See my other post. I was mixing it up with UHS-I and UHS-II.

oh shit. I am cancelling that toshiba card then. What Is the best 128GB I can buy at a reasonable price then?

 

The one you've just cancelled ;), there is no other cheaper branded card from an actual memory chip manufacturer, all the alternatives cost significantly more.

 

Avoid the SanDisk Ultra, should be done by the ASA for false advertising, worst range of cards apart from mainstream Kingston, but as they are the only major brand not to make their own memory, they at least do have an excuse for being shit.

[daifuco]

reordered. Thanks for clarifying it.

[Strafe]

Launch day can't come soon enough. We're reduced to talking about memory card formats and not about amazing graphics and controller functions.

 

Next up: switch packaging cardboard type revealed!

That was in the unboxing video. Do keep up.

[daifuco]

There must be a Nintendo Direct before launch.

[Professor_k]

I'm staying away from the unboxing video.  My unboxing is the only unboxing that matters followed by *hours and hours of sweet sweet Zelda and Cow Milking TM.

 

*3 hours

Has a full list of mini games been released for 1 2 Switch yet, or just some of them?

[Girth Certificate]

I don't imagine they will, it'll be more fun* if you don't know what to expect, Warioware style.

This is a must read article. It explains  1 2 Switch from a historical perspective.

[daifuco]

Actually this video really shows what 1 2 Switch is. A game that requires sense of humour and friends.

Well worth £1.99

I've just watched the video of the guy going through the system menus again and I couldn't see any mention of Bluetooth in the settings.  I have a horrible feeling that the Switch isn't going to let you pair Bluetooth headphones to it.

It does allow them according to recent interviews.

Only Rllmuk could make an SD card discussion more divisive than a thread about escorts

[Super Craig]

Just got an e-mail from Amazon. They're not honouring the misprice.

Same here

[Flub]

Lucky escape. That would be 1.99 you'd never see again

[Jonny5]

Yeah, same email here. At least they did it pretty quickly rather than letting us think we'd gotten away with it.

There's a secret 29th game on 1-2 Switch - Feel The Burn.

you have to hold the joycon and rub your hands together over an imaginary fire of ten pound notes. 

[MidWalian]

The secret 30th game is about shoving a joycon up your rear to massage your prostate HD rumble style. First one to generate milk wins.

 

It will sell really well if that was true.
