I have joycon disconnects (primarily the left one) if I block the top of it in any way. I believe this has been confirmed but there is literally no antenna extension in these, and people have already fixed it by opening up the con, and soldering a simple 2 inch piece of wire to extend it. The wire stays inside the controller.

But do you have fishtanks?

Swithcing my router to 5 GHz helped. I wasn't even aware of this option.

Nice tip! I didn't even know the Switch supported 5 Ghz, wifi is shit in my living room, and I didn't have the 5 Ghz radio enabled in my router since nothing I had used it. The eshop stuff comes up instantly now like I was sitting right next to the router.

Has anyone here bought Fast RMX? I'm tempted to give it a go, but once Mario Kart is out I doubt I'd ever touch it again.

You guys don't seem to be exactly loving your new system. If Zelda wasn't on there, what good would it be? I mean, really?

Without Zelda? it wouldn't have launched. There's not much of a reason to own it at the moment.
They would have dragged out the WiiU to Spring, then the Switch marketing would have gone through summer for a fall holiday release.

I bought it, it's like Wipeout with no weapons. It's a decent game, the whole Ikaruga color changing thing annoys me though. You may like it more than me, I tend to not like racing games where I don't actually have tires on the pavement. I probably won't play it again once another decent racer hits.

I actually feel the same most of the time, I don't even like the hovering parts in the latest Mario Kart games. I did used to enjoy F Zero though, which I've heard this compared to.

Yeah it's similar, but FZero GX is a much better game.

Or do the "good" thing and put weird patterns on the sides like the PS3 Genesis collection.

I don't see the difference between the Genesis Collection emulation and what's being shown in this video.

Background images? Gross.

You can remove these in most ports. I don't stand them too, so I remove them.

Who wants to start a cottage industry of high res 4:3 flat-panel displays with me? Composite, s-video, component, RGB, SCART, and HDMI. Built-in Framemeister, officially licensed. We could sell like 15 or 16 of them, no problem.

Edit: Also, tate.

It would be better if it were 640x480 with a scanline option, then there's no scaling.

After seeing that I have no hope of that ever being seen outside of Japan let alone translated either (like I Am Setsuna) so that's a wash. It's just an emulator package so I doubt they'll bother with anything but the local ROM set. Shame really I'd buy that.

None, that's why I just got it on Wii-U. That consoles so shitty I felt justified to buy it so I own at least 5 games.

I really want to own a Switch, but there's just nothing on it yet, and by next Christmas they will have a new revision out anyway. So might as well wait and see how the console develops this year.

Do you really think they will have a revision out that soon?

After the draught near the end of the Wii U's life, I was expecting a spectacular launch line up for the Switch, but not only Zelda was all we got (which is great to say the least), but also there doesn't seem to be any other major exclusives until Mario Odyssey, which isn't coming until late 2017. Octopath Traveller seems interesting though, but no release date yet. Snipper Clips can be fun for the family too.

It's still an unlikely possibility. They released English NES FF2 on VC, and Nintendo did the same with Mother 1.
