Posted March 4, 2017 I'm slightly confused about what you meant with the SD Card storage. Do you mean you can fully backup your games to the SD card and not require use of a cartridge? Or do you mean that the system lets you download games to it? Doesn't the Wii and 3DS already have the latter feature And both used SD cards ? Link to post Share on other sites

The Wii U only officially supported downloading games to an external drive, which is why it's worth noting for the Switch. Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 4, 2017 Thanks @Caleb10E A question that I've got that no one has yet seemed to ask. Does the console support use of external sound output other than HDMI? E.g. in my case my monitor doesn't have speakers so I use external speakers/headset for my sound, which works fine on PC/Mac/PS4. Ok so the end of the video says it doesn't support external sound/headsets, however others said there is a 3.5mm jack so I guess I should be fine. But does that work in docked mode? Even at weird angles? Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2017 dont know what that was all about with the sd cards? the 3ds has sd card slot i for one have a 64gb micro sd in my 3ds and buy all my games as digital downloads however even so i think with the switch i will be buying the majority of my games on carts mainly just because of the price even now on amazon zelda is already less than rrp by about £5 and 1 2 switch is like £10 cheaper than rrp as well gues there is the same argument for the 3ds but i dont envision taking this out the house that much im seeing the portable mode more as a its 1am go to bed type deal either way i cant wait for my switch to arrive tomorrow (i only bought one this morning after playing lastnight at a friends) I lurk a lot Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2017 Do the Switch controllers work also on PC ? i dont remember if LTT has done this but would be nice to see comparison of console controllers on PC basically which console controller would good buddy for keyboard and mouse. Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 4, 2017 Breath of the wild runs like poop in docked mode. Spoiler I agree it's unique but there are too many things not thought of that will prevent me from buying this console. Also what is up with them re-releasing Mario Kart and Splatoon, are they trying to make this console not sell? Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 4, 2017 Good review... I just want to let you know, when docked, the Switch is doing 1080p, not 720. Currently focusing on my video game collection. Here's what I got so far. Keep in mind I'm still grabbing multiplatform games on PC, unless they happen to be cheaper on PS4 or Switch (such as RDR2 as of right now) Currently Playing: Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 3DS Persona 5 - PS4 Splatoon 2 - Switch Super Mario Maker 2 - Switch Super Smash Bros Ultimate - Switch Va11-Hall-A - Switch Just beat: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker - Switch Kid Icarus: Uprising - 3DS Yoshi's Woolly World - Wii U How many games I'm needing: DS: 55 Wii: 41 360/PS3: 84 3DS: 61 Wii U: 15 PS Vita: 34 PS4: 20 Switch: 20 Link to post Share on other sites

Zelda botw runs at 900p in docked mode, i believe. --- as for the video: - 1, 2 switch should have been bundled with the Switch at no extra cost. to charge $60 for it is pretty harsh - the charging port location.. wished it was at the top, or anywhere that isn't the bottom. maybe that could be fixed with a 3rd party case, a special stand (replacing the tablet stand), or as Luke mentioned, a 3d printed object Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, 1-2 Switch should of been bundled, just like how the Wii and Wii U got a bundled demo game. Also, iirc, Nintendo said that Legend of Zelda runs at 1080p for both the Wii U and Switch.
