Nintendo Switch - The Bear and Badger

Minkymu

I have an orzly on my OG Switch and there are faint scratches (you can see them at certain angles) on the bottom corners of the screen.

God knows what it wiuld be like without the protection. I barely undivk mine either. Like less than 50 times since new

Bob

Orzly the way forward boys thanks for the top tip!

Also the kick stand needs redesign

FranticPea

Might be a shit design, but ours has survived the surf across the bath so there's that.

mistercrayon

Does everyone still have the air vent at the top of their switch intact?

Bob

My speakers at the bottom have filled with micro
Fluff which I have to remove with a wooden tooth pick

I’ve got a launch model. Where str huh getting the scratches? I don’t have a single scratch on mine.

Bob

Mines launch too

Bob

I’ll take pics on Monday but it’s obvs from the dock as a. It’s led a charmed life b. It has no good games do barely played c. You can see where the scratches end

regmcfly

The kick stand needs binned.

mannaboy

Same here, no protector, no scratches. Zelda on 52’ 4K telly looks fine too.*

*have not been to the opticians for over a year.

My Switch is temperamental with carts these days, which is a worry. My screen protector is unscratched though.

I wonder if Switch Pro has a glass screen.

Bob

Good news though Waifu Uncovered is now on sale

davyK

Don't have a screen protector on mine but it's perma-docked. I have no interest in playing handheld. But I suppose I should get one.

Made of the most scratch magnetic glass because it’s the type of screen Samsung were Throwing in the bin until Nintendo threw them a final bone for the stupid production machines.

Bob

Which does make you laugh

mistercrayon

I’m just joking but it’s the choice Nintendo would make.

Just realised I don't think I've ever used the touchscreen on mine. There are scratches on the screen from the dock though like Bob says. I've got a second protector on mine now as the first one cracked. I also have shiny worn plastic look around the buttons and where I hold it which I like.

It needs an overhaul really the design is bad in many ways.

davyK

When you think about what the Switch is though - both a handheld and a trad TV console it's not exactly surprising there are some issues. It's surprising that something as basic as the screen getting scratched is one of them though.

RedDave2

Not sure why the dock is designed as it is though. There are loads of third party docks that don't touch the screen. The Wii U will have a standing dock to charge the tablet controller when it's released so don't know why the switch needed such an awkwardly designed dock

Moot_Geeza

90% off Rogue Singularity. Which might be shit, but it's appeared in a couple of hidden gems lists and looks good for some straight ahead 3D jumping.

Today I received my 8bitdo usb adpator so I can connect a ds4.

Wow. 2d Mario is now playable as I have a working dpad. Stranger's Wrath is more playable as the analogue sticks have more usable range.

Pro Controller, seriously, can go fuck itself.

EShop sale:

Spoiler:

Bob

Is it even a sale if Akane isn’t less than a £1?

At this point I’m pretty sure I’m just buying games for the sake of it.

Has anyone played the Amnesia Collection on Switch? Saw it was cheap on the US shop, and am kinda curious.

I CAN'T REMEMBER

I remember when Toki marched up asking for about £35 for a spruce up of an average 80s arcade game. Then it sheepishly settled on a more ordinary indie price. Now it's left begging for a pound.

And it can still piss off.

davyK

Toki was a coin grabbing bastard in the arcade. The Megadrive port was relentless too.

Just checked it out on Switch - have used that soulless graphical style that too many makeovers have. It's a no from me.

I have it. I likes it.
I must really play some more of it!

How does it control? Saw somewhere that the first game in the series is a bit of a pain to control because of the point and click nature?

I don't even know why I want to play it tbh, as I can barely make it through Until Dawn. Got a little less than two hours to go till it's dawn and I hate it all.

Howdy, Stranger!
