@@liquicitizendirk2147 do you want it to charge fast or not? That's why usb C is used vs micro B. That's why phones havent used it in a while. Just charge with a 15 watt charger and if there is still issues its not because its usb C. As for portable batteries the situation is different now, plenty work.
"Don't loose your Switch, otherwise you will loose all your game saves." I'm pretty sure that is what we are least worried about when we loose our switch.
You can buy another Switch if you lose it or it breaks, the 50+ hour game saves added up between the bigger games available on the Switch kinda makes your saves worth more than the console itself.
BONUS TIP: If you go to settings you can configure a zoom feature, which allows you to double tap the home button to zoom in from any game or screen. You can also move around and adjust the zoom intensity, and even lock the zoom in place while you play!
Tip #0: If you have a A/V Receiver(at least a 5.1 one), set the audio to Surround. That way, you have a good audio. And connect the Switch to the GAME or CBL/SAT ports on the Receiver. Also, the turn on signal gets received by the receiver, which changes to the port the Switch is connected to, this is called CEC, which is a feature even PC GPUs should have by now(and surprisingly, DON'T HAVE). The TV turning on when the switch sometimes is in sleep mode is CEC too.
The console wars is honestly stupid. Every console has a different purpose, but people treat them like worse version of the same thing. Example: If you want competitive online games, A switch would be a really bad idea. But if you wanted to play video games at a party and used a PC as your console, it would be a bad choice.
PC isn't considered a gaming console. And if you want to include it in the console wars then PC kicks butt in every category. Remember when console gamers were using "can't see above 30fps" and "we don't need 4k"? Well now all the console gamers want 60fps and 4k when PC already had that years ago. In addition, we have free online, cheap steam sales with AAA games becoming sub $20 in a year, and emulators for pretty much every console up to the previous generation. PS/Xbox users just try to justify their decisions whenever PC is brought up in the console wars.
otoed1 all previous gen of Nintendo consols can be emulated on a powerful pc, this includes wiiu, and plus we can run every games above 60fps, u consol peasants just dream it
Have you ever wanted to restart breath of the wild but don't want to get rid of your save? Well just make a new switch profile it takes like 2 mins and can restart breath or any other game when you open a game it asks what profile you want to start the game with. choose your second profile and bam new game and if you want to play your first save close the game and choose your main profile. Hope I could help.
Even when the Nintendo Switch is docked, you can still plug into the headphone jack and it will automatically switch the sound source from the HDMI to the audio jack of the console. Plus, you can also adjust the volume via the quick menu. So if you plan to use a Bluetooth headphones with the console, a Bluetooth audio transmitter is a good addition for the Nintendo Switch.
"I hope your really excited to NOT use them." That got me there 😂 The fact that you can't use the kickstand while charging really bugs me and I think its a huge design flaw on Nintendo's part.
As the Switch is a Bluetooth master, it probably can connect to several devices, like two Joycons. It's not an official feature but this could be a really useful Homebrew application, just like savegame ex-/importing. Hackers just gave a talk on hacking it at 34c3 in Germany. To sum it up, Nintendo fucked up again, but left more room to correct it. However, Homebrew is on its way...
I charge mine all the time while it's in tablet mode and I'm playing with it on a table. Get the $12 stand from pdp totally worth the money. If you have Icarus from 3ds you could use that stand but it makes the switch lie too far down, but the pdp stand has a lovely slot on the bottom to let the charge cord fit in and nubs to hold the switch in place.
Nintendo released an official charging stand and while initially it looks overpriced, the USB-C head on the stand has a clever spring mechanism allowing for wear/worry free placement and removal. Also much smaller than other charge stands. It's completely worth it.
one day the nintendo switch would be like the nes to us right now and people would be like "do you remember the ds?" or "do you remember the nintendo switch?" and other people would be like "whats a ds?!"

@@0Moh I agree, I mean considering Discord Nitro exists the cost isn't really an issue but it's still annoying especially to countries where $20 is quite expensive
Aiden L it would be pretty rare for people that have no switch to view this video because it's like looking at tips and tricks for a wheelchair when you don't have one. It's useless to do so.
8:35. I second this. Instead of buying a "Pro" controller, just buy another pair of Joycons and now you'll have a total of four controllers to play Mario Kart Actually, the joy cons are more Pro because they are so versatile.The "Pro" controller is more like a "Classic" controller
David Navarrete or buy the Hori Pro Controller of your unto wired controllers for your dock. It's officially licensed by Nintendo and it's only $30 bucks.
I'm already considering it, but it's hard to find a good review that actually gives detailed information about the sticks. They usually say "They feel great" and nothing else Also, I think it doesn't have rumble support My plan is to wait until holiday for the Snes30 Pro and see how well it performs before choosing a controller
No, it doesn't. No HD rumble, no NFC support, and the controller overall feels kind of weird. I bought one and promptly returned it the next day. I later got one from GameWill on Amazon and I like it so far. It even has turbo, though I haven't really used it. Though it's the same as the Hori controller, no rumble and no NFC amiibo support. It's a decent one though, even works with PC, I think.
The sticks on the pro controller are much smoother than the joycons. The joycons aren't bad though I was surprised, the pro controller is just much better. Didn't help I had a bad right joycon right out of the box, QC on the joycons are horrible, had to send it in to get fixed/replaced.
Got mine yesterday, ZELDA IS THE BEST ! Hopefully I'll get the new pokemon too, I've been playing Pokemon yellow, and it got me back into the game again
Did you realize once you sign into an account, look one the Nintendo news and a new article will appear, and it shows all sorts of games for the Switch in the photo! Including AC
How much money would it really have cost them to put a thin layer of felt on the inside of the dock. With the price of those docks i feel like this is a ridiculous oversight.
Well, there are two lines of some foam like material to help prevent the switch from making direct contact with the hard plastic of the dock. But it's poorly positioned and doesn't do much... Also, having that thin layer of felt may contribute to encasing heat given off from the switch, helping it overheat, could be why they didn't go with it?
I've personally bought a thin layer of "wool" that can stick to a surface and sticked it inside my dock ! It's soft and works well to avoid scratches :D
personally I hope that they make a upgraded stand down the line that gives a better charge rate, some padding for the tablet itself and put a heat sink in that big empty space
The docks are cheap plastic and the most expensive thing in them is the tiny circuit board that handles the HDMI, etc. Nintendo clearly created the dock as an overpriced piece of hardware and didn't bother with quality.
*when you keep watching switch videos despite not having a switch hoping all this knowledge will make you a nintendo master the day you have enough money to buy one*
Great video brother. Found some amazing things I definitely did not know before. Thanks. I do have one thing to add however. Something I did not know right away anyway. Undocked and in sleep mode my battery runs down blazingly fast. It took me a while until I learned you can hold down the power button at the top for 5 seconds and get a menu to fully shut down the console. That saves the battery.
Whoda thunk a piece of hardware that runs games and uses display power would have less battery life than controllers that literally only use power for inputs. Magic, huh?
I recently bought a Switch and was getting ready to return it when I saw a video that said no Bluetooth headphone support. Luckily that was patched years ago now. I solved the problem of the dock potentially scratching the screen by putting two small pieces of athletic tape (cloth tape) on the little raised places on the dock. Also kudos to Dbrand. It just goes to show how good of a company they really are. They didn't have to say anything but they chose to.
Wish I watched this when my gf and me first got the Switch. When we were putting on the strap for the first joycon it was easy. The second one wouldn't connect. This was before we had any idea there was a lock button and Nintendo didn't mention this in any instructions. Then my girlfriend was like, "You just gotta force it in." And I was like, "Pretty sure nah." and she was like, "No, look!" and JAMMED IT IN the joycon. It kinda hurt my feelings. Now when I connect the joycon to the switch to play portable it's all wobbly and shit. So annoying.
Me neither but I wanted to see if it has a Easter like the gamecube. Example hold the Z button on your controller as the console power up and it will do a toy jingle instead of a normal GameCube jingle and do it with four controllers a puppy jingle will replace it
Auto Brightness I dont know about Switch specifically because I dont have one and played not too much portably, but in many phones, it actually consumes more battery than setting the brightness you need because the lighting sensor/camera has to be turned on constantly. People think auto Brightness is meant to save battery but no, it is just to not surprise you with a shining screen right after you turn on the device.
A statue of a man and a statue of a woman stood looking at each other for hundreds of years out in a park. One day a wizard, feeling sorry for the statues, brought them to life for 30 minutes. Right away, the two of them ran into some nearby bushes and you could hear all kinds of strange sounds and moans from there. After a while they came back out, giggling. The wizard told them "You have another 15 minutes left, if you want to have another go." The statues looked at each other and the male statue answered "Fine, but this time you hold the pidgeon and i'll shit on it."
Hi, Andrew, i got a Nintendo Switch for my birthday and I LOVE IT I can't get Breath of the wild until Christmas so that's sad, Screen Protector is very good, when anything gets on my switch I and still go on with my life knowing it's not damaged at all. P.S. get an Amazon Nintendo Case bundle because you get everything you could ever need to start your switch Adventure!
I love my switch too, i have a plasti-glass screen protector. I’m going to get a switch carrying case for christmas, wich can hold a dock, switch, pro controller, cables and comes with some cases for your games. Really handy if you want to bring over your whole switch package to a friend.
Bro, it's hard, I got my Switch in September and I still don't have BOTW I have to wait until Christmas but I would say get Odyssey it helps a lot it has 999 Moons for you to find and you can also find hundreds of other things to do.
This was very helpful. One thing ive learned, dont bother putting a case on unless you plan on taking it off every time you put it on the dock. Unless its super thin, it makes the switch harder to get on the charger and stresses the c port.
Cartridges are faster, hold more data, and are less likely to break than discs. Your main point makes no sense; carts actually cost more to make than your average disc. They went with carts because they decrease loading times and made the portable form factor easier to achieve, not because they were going broke.
That joycon strap attachment sliced my finger when I first used it and went to take it off. Had no idea the little lock was there and the metal inside the joycon itself is was bit me.
By the way, another cool thing you can do with the Switch, is that you put an Alaskan area code and they will not charge you tax, but i have not tried out this theory myself.
7:38 I accidentally dropped my switch down the stairs it went down the stairs from its side and landed on the front my floor was super hard There wasnt even a scratch or any damage
It's also never been advisable in the history of electronics to look for a higher voltage power source. It's also idiotic to recommend finding a battery back up that's higher than 15V. The fellows at this channel just don't have a clue how any of it works.
Agreed. What you need a USB-C charger that supports USB Power Delivery, a specific technology that switches to higher voltages only with compatible devices. I am yet to find a power bank that supports that though.
I bought one a week or so ago along with 8 games, and gift wrapped it for my wife and I for a Christmas gift. It's going to be the longest week in a half man!
jordan ramji for now. I'm sure you'll be able to get TH-cam, Netflix, Ect later on. I mean you'll also be able to play old games with a emulator and buy the games in the EShop.
There is a trick you can do to connect to a proxy that makes the Switch go to any site you want. It requires a PC though. My only concern is the fact that there is NO way to backup saves, natively. I'm hoping an update will fix it. That, and the Bluetooth headphones issue.
Just got the switch, and the hold the home button tip was something I did not know and appreciate a lot.I'll play a different times and I like being able to just the brightness on the fly without having close the game and go into settings
Even tho , it still feels half-baked... :( Nintendo probably we're TOO excited to show it off, then they we're like : Nintendo : WE CAN'T WAIT ! WE CAN'T WAIT ! LET'S BAKE IT ALREADY !! Nintendo staff : At what degree ? Nintendo : Mmmmm...50° !! Nintendo staff : No ! That's barely even ba- ! Nintendo : SHUT UP ! I SAID 50° !!! Nintendo staff : How about the Legend Of Zelda : Breath of the wild ? Nintendo : 1000° degree ! Nintendo staff : What ?? Nintendo : DO IT !
Here's a fun thing though: When Nintendo was doing all those events to show the Switch before the launch, the scratch problem didn't seem to be present, or nobody mentioned it (which would be weird). And in those events they did dock&undock the units a lot. So... Maybe we are clumsy? Idk, but it just seems curious.
Tai Prev Since all of the scratches appear irregular, my current theory is sand got stuck on grips,or peopel are really careless. And keep in mind, you only hear the bad stories.
Tai Prev eghhhhhhhhh I understand what your saying but just realize this, company's make products on TV and at events better than they really are at retail. Hell I remember the Xbox 360 launch, everyone was so excited but then a pretty large amount of them got the infamous "red ring of Death" and couldn't do anything with their xbox's.
Daniel Mitev I went to one of the events. It depended on the game you were playing. Zelda allowed you to dock and undock as much as you desired and it was highly encouraged you do so. I think a few other stations would allow you to dock or undock the system too. Disgia and Sonic Mania both allowed it as far as I can recall. It was very hit and miss. Generally, if it's a one player game, they allowed it since there was no chance you'd be removing sight from whoever you might be playing with.
Hey, I recommend buying the wired controllers rather than the pro controllers, they are the exact same but they use a wire and can usually be bought for around £20 British pounds, some have really cool designs, like the breath of the wild one
Well thanks for the tips! My family got us one for christmas which was a huge suprise, and i just wanted to take some extra precautions. You know, keeping it clean, and safe mainly.

Aiden L it would be pretty rare for people that have no switch to view this video because it's like looking at tips and tricks for a wheelchair when you don't have one. It's useless to do so.
pandiadot (I'm not sure whether you're saying the switch is a handicap or not.)
(no offense)
Regarding "match TV mode" to avoid TV turning on when you dock, that one is easy: just put the Switch in sleep mode before you dock it.
Who else here doesn't have a switch yet still watched this video
Nova Biscuit me
Nova Biscuit me
ill have one this Saturday
Kevin Teran how
Nova Biscuit I had to pay 600$ cause that was the one they had 🙄
Diego Umanzor wow...
8:35. I second this. Instead of buying a "Pro" controller, just buy another pair of Joycons and now you'll have a total of four controllers to play Mario Kart
Actually, the joy cons are more Pro because they are so versatile.The "Pro" controller is more like a "Classic" controller
David Navarrete or buy the Hori Pro Controller of your unto wired controllers for your dock. It's officially licensed by Nintendo and it's only $30 bucks.
I'm already considering it, but it's hard to find a good review that actually gives detailed information about the sticks. They usually say "They feel great" and nothing else
Also, I think it doesn't have rumble support
My plan is to wait until holiday for the Snes30 Pro and see how well it performs before choosing a controller
No, it doesn't. No HD rumble, no NFC support, and the controller overall feels kind of weird. I bought one and promptly returned it the next day.
I later got one from GameWill on Amazon and I like it so far. It even has turbo, though I haven't really used it. Though it's the same as the Hori controller, no rumble and no NFC amiibo support. It's a decent one though, even works with PC, I think.
If you use the joycon like that it is extremely hard. I thought the same as you but i now regret it
The sticks on the pro controller are much smoother than the joycons. The joycons aren't bad though I was surprised, the pro controller is just much better. Didn't help I had a bad right joycon right out of the box, QC on the joycons are horrible, had to send it in to get fixed/replaced.
Anyone else think the weathered look after the damage from the decal looked really awesome
it is kind of badass like rust on a vintage car
Looks like it feels rough on the hands when playing not worth
@@thatcoldsweataftershtbutth3025 fax
Yeah but on neon color is kinda shit
Just bought a Switch Saturday. Super excited to get into Zelda
Get ready, if you played Ocarina of time youre going to love it.
Jason Bonilla hey wanna gameshare with me on switch and yes u can gameshare on switch
Got mine yesterday, ZELDA IS THE BEST ! Hopefully I'll get the new pokemon too, I've been playing Pokemon yellow, and it got me back into the game again
Dylan Bowling hey dude u wanna gameshare?
@@hasantariq869 I'm gonna gameshare with my step brother actually, we do it with every console we own :/
dbrand fixed their skins and dont ruin the switch anymore
Troy Brown Aw nice!
Troy Brown so can you just take em off whenever?
@@stankorplank7370 yea you can and they won't damage your switch anymore :)
Awe yeah imma get a skin for the switch im getting in a few weeks
Troy Brown what if you don’t use a Dbrand skin??
Edit: wait no, I don’t use skins. I use a protective shell. It’s cheap and good for you switch:)
Cannot WAIT for Animal Crossing... spring / early summer 2019!!
Did you realize once you sign into an account, look one the Nintendo news and a new article will appear, and it shows all sorts of games for the Switch in the photo! Including AC
Yikes
isnt it march 2020?
Autumn Fantana when they commented the date wasn’t released yet
Oof.
How much money would it really have cost them to put a thin layer of felt on the inside of the dock. With the price of those docks i feel like this is a ridiculous oversight.
Well, there are two lines of some foam like material to help prevent the switch from making direct contact with the hard plastic of the dock. But it's poorly positioned and doesn't do much... Also, having that thin layer of felt may contribute to encasing heat given off from the switch, helping it overheat, could be why they didn't go with it?
I've personally bought a thin layer of "wool" that can stick to a surface and sticked it inside my dock ! It's soft and works well to avoid scratches :D
UnskilledPlayer218 luckyyyy gimme onee
personally I hope that they make a upgraded stand down the line that gives a better charge rate, some padding for the tablet itself and put a heat sink in that big empty space
The docks are cheap plastic and the most expensive thing in them is the tiny circuit board that handles the HDMI, etc.
Nintendo clearly created the dock as an overpriced piece of hardware and didn't bother with quality.
*when you keep watching switch videos despite not having a switch hoping all this knowledge will make you a nintendo master the day you have enough money to buy one*
Great video brother. Found some amazing things I definitely did not know before. Thanks. I do have one thing to add however. Something I did not know right away anyway. Undocked and in sleep mode my battery runs down blazingly fast. It took me a while until I learned you can hold down the power button at the top for 5 seconds and get a menu to fully shut down the console. That saves the battery.
The batteries in the joy cons lasts longer than the switch itself
no shit sherlock
Bruh the swich uses more things to drain its battery and joy cons use just blutooth
Swag Destroyer yeah exactly
Would you want your controller to fucking stop working first?
Whoda thunk a piece of hardware that runs games and uses display power would have less battery life than controllers that literally only use power for inputs. Magic, huh?
With new FW 13.0 now switch support Bluetooth earphone / headphone. And it’s great.
It's the new guy ! Keep up the good work man .
Singularity Tech hes been at gameranx for almost 3 months lol
"don't lose your switch or you will lose all your save files"
Not if you back them up with Nintendo Switch Online
This is more like a Nintendo Switch customer Support video than a Tips and tricks one
I recently bought a Switch and was getting ready to return it when I saw a video that said no Bluetooth headphone support. Luckily that was patched years ago now. I solved the problem of the dock potentially scratching the screen by putting two small pieces of athletic tape (cloth tape) on the little raised places on the dock. Also kudos to Dbrand. It just goes to show how good of a company they really are. They didn't have to say anything but they chose to.
I'm not gonna remember any of this :)
CrazyOuse YT same here
Hey Same Picture
Same
Save the video to a playlist on "Add to"

Wish I watched this when my gf and me first got the Switch.
When we were putting on the strap for the first joycon it was easy. The second one wouldn't connect. This was before we had any idea there was a lock button and Nintendo didn't mention this in any instructions. Then my girlfriend was like, "You just gotta force it in." And I was like, "Pretty sure nah." and she was like, "No, look!" and JAMMED IT IN the joycon. It kinda hurt my feelings.
Now when I connect the joycon to the switch to play portable it's all wobbly and shit. So annoying.
Rican Cobain dang that sucks
Get rid of the whole girlfriend.
Mine is also wobbly lol
Sounds like she likes things inserted forcefully. Great job man!
Switch the girlfriend
….ok I’ll go
i finally got my switch
Legion Entertainment is it good?
#Dr. Buttpoo/butthed!.!!! /2017 /wutthebutt
Yay congratulations
so lucky
Me too... but I have $200 debt... definitely worth it
Anyone else still waiting for a switch?
Yeah same. Good luck for this Christmas!
Edit: I GOT ONE
I like Cheese thx
I like Cheese me:)
@@will-jb6dw I got it!
I like Cheese I GOT ONE TOO!

Joycon straps?... oh yea.. I vaguely remember those.
I lost them the day after I bought my switch
Safety checks must be a mess at your house
Kinda like the WII
@@silverviz5600 i feel both bad for you, and immensely disappointed.
why am i here? i dont even have a switch...
He told it is useful for people who are planning to get one like me at the end of the video.
Unliked this cause I already have one
Not only u 😭😭
JustDan me ether I just want one
Me neither but I wanted to see if it has a Easter like the gamecube.
Example hold the Z button on your controller as the console power up and it will do a toy jingle instead of a normal GameCube jingle and do it with four controllers a puppy jingle will replace it
The switch need to shut it down completely to put in micro sd then turn it back on then it will do a system update then it'll restart for you
Auto Brightness I dont know about Switch specifically because I dont have one and played not too much portably, but in many phones, it actually consumes more battery than setting the brightness you need because the lighting sensor/camera has to be turned on constantly. People think auto Brightness is meant to save battery but no, it is just to not surprise you with a shining screen right after you turn on the device.
A statue of a man and a statue of a woman stood looking at each other for hundreds of years out in a park. One day a wizard, feeling sorry for the statues, brought them to life for 30 minutes. Right away, the two of them ran into some nearby bushes and you could hear all kinds of strange sounds and moans from there. After a while they came back out, giggling. The wizard told them "You have another 15 minutes left, if you want to have another go." The statues looked at each other and the male statue answered "Fine, but this time you hold the pidgeon and i'll shit on it."
Chaylen Tejeda its time to stop
Noice....
Chaylen Tejeda You got that from google search, nice stolen story btw.
Is this becoming Facebook ?
Hi, Andrew, i got a Nintendo Switch for my birthday and I LOVE IT I can't get Breath of the wild until Christmas so that's sad, Screen Protector is very good, when anything gets on my switch I and still go on with my life knowing it's not damaged at all. P.S. get an Amazon Nintendo Case bundle because you get everything you could ever need to start your switch Adventure!
I love my switch too, i have a plasti-glass screen protector. I’m going to get a switch carrying case for christmas, wich can hold a dock, switch, pro controller, cables and comes with some cases for your games. Really handy if you want to bring over your whole switch package to a friend.
mrbrockpeters play super mario odyssey ofcourse
Bro, it's hard, I got my Switch in September and I still don't have BOTW I have to wait until Christmas but I would say get Odyssey it helps a lot it has 999 Moons for you to find and you can also find hundreds of other things to do.
CrazyHackingLunatic bad day?
Some random guy Who comments no, I just can't stand 10 year olds that fake account age so they can comment on fucking minecraft videos
I wanna see the new guy more, he seems cool.
Preston Garvey god damn it Preston I come back from helping that settlement and you're just sitting here looking at the Nintendo switch
The grizzly Bear hey,at least he didn't tell you to go save more settlements,right?
I got my screen protector and Odyssey and Zelda. Took rabbid kingdom battle back
Another settlement needs help
Here's a really cheap Nintendo Switch if you're interested: GameSwitch.xyz
This was very helpful. One thing ive learned, dont bother putting a case on unless you plan on taking it off every time you put it on the dock. Unless its super thin, it makes the switch harder to get on the charger and stresses the c port.
thanks
Watching all the switch vids even tho I don't have one all I have is the 2011 Wii super Mario galaxy edition which I blarely use anymore
Cartridges are faster, hold more data, and are less likely to break than discs. Your main point makes no sense; carts actually cost more to make than your average disc. They went with carts because they decrease loading times and made the portable form factor easier to achieve, not because they were going broke.
Edward Ramos Can I have that?
TrueJediHero the time you commented this, I use the Wii a lot now so, sorry no
Edward Ramos Well, shit! Guess i'll go raid a Gamestop for one with games and accessories. *Sigh* I don't like using my powers for crimes. :(
my game consoles: Xbox One, Wii, Nintendo 3DS (original blue), yeah I use my laptop a lot
It honestly wasn't ready for release :'(
Heartless Reaper [heartless_soul99] Just like Pokemon go
Heartless Reaper [heartless_soul99] true i could have waited
but still a decent console
the handheld thingy the switch is already late over a year, how long do we need to wait for nintendo to be able release 15 old hardware specs??
yeah i think maybe it was rushed x
Mine's been great, having a freaking blast with Zelda man.
Quick tip, wait a month and buy it, more games and hopefully better software
or if everyone does that it fails. without early adopters every systum and device you love would not exist.
More likely it would force them to get it right the first time.
shit hardware will be the same though
Shock Wire id say wait six months to a year then buy it they'll be more games and maybe a price drop
harris nisar but it is $300
I just got one and then is such a video helpful
That joycon strap attachment sliced my finger when I first used it and went to take it off. Had no idea the little lock was there and the metal inside the joycon itself is was bit me.
I just bought a switch and already the first tip helped so much I thought it seemed super hard to get it off
Walked into GameStop kind of on a spontaneous whim and bought one through Affirm. 10/10.
Good thing i bought last year the SN30 Pro controller so when i get my Switch next month i already have another controller to use.
Dbrand will probably come out with the skins again with a better, milder glue soon - one can at least hope :D
hopefully. They looked cool!
By the way, another cool thing you can do with the Switch, is that you put an Alaskan area code and they will not charge you tax, but i have not tried out this theory myself.
Holy shit I didn’t know you could get My Nintendo points that way!
Don’t lick the game card. It tastes awful.
Yep, that's so kids don't put it in their mouth so they don't choke
It is
Thank you *licking the floor* ( I licked it before bit i kind of like it sorry not sorry)
Yep I just did it and I regret it
You haven't lived until you've licked a switch cartridge
7:38 I accidentally dropped my switch down the stairs it went down the stairs from its side and landed on the front my floor was super hard
There wasnt even a scratch or any damage
Good thing the ants didn't damage the Switch
@@pugzfordayz Yeah I'm super lucky
@Craig Adams Same here 🙏🙏
I put the switch in the doc it scratched it
@@war6725 Tip, either you put the switch in carefully, or buy a doc cover. It cushions the screen of the switch so it works
I don’t use those straps that come with the joycons. They’ve always felt weird since I first held them so I’ve never used them
Volt isn't a unit of power. Voltage is potential, watts is power.
Nerd.
Tearakan nah he just took grade 9 science like everyone else
It's also never been advisable in the history of electronics to look for a higher voltage power source. It's also idiotic to recommend finding a battery back up that's higher than 15V. The fellows at this channel just don't have a clue how any of it works.
Agreed. What you need a USB-C charger that supports USB Power Delivery, a specific technology that switches to higher voltages only with compatible devices.
I am yet to find a power bank that supports that though.
right
Gameranx: I would change the resolution from automatic to whatever your TV is
My TV: is 4K
I CAN ONLY SET IT TO UP TO 1080p!
just bought Nintendo Switch today, I'm excited!
I bought one a week or so ago along with 8 games, and gift wrapped it for my wife and I for a Christmas gift. It's going to be the longest week in a half man!
@@Roller11111 nicee loll
Tip #1 Never buy a console day one, this does not just go for the Switch.
zelda'll likely be cracked pretty quickly and emulated on pc
never buy a console
+Devil's Advocate Yes, if you want to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on your PC you need to install a Wii U Emulator called Cemu! :D
Aj Jingco some bs right here
+Devil's Advocate yeah why buy things when you can steal them.....freaking millennials.
1:50 that is the biggest tip you could give someone , Andrew thanks ,i live in latin america so i can't acces the eshop but now i can
I love the switch. But it kinda sucks how you can't watch TH-cam or even go on the internet.
jordan ramji for now. I'm sure you'll be able to get TH-cam, Netflix, Ect later on. I mean you'll also be able to play old games with a emulator and buy the games in the EShop.
There is a trick you can do to connect to a proxy that makes the Switch go to any site you want. It requires a PC though.
My only concern is the fact that there is NO way to backup saves, natively. I'm hoping an update will fix it. That, and the Bluetooth headphones issue.
well its not a god damn ipad my boy, just use your phone/computer/smart tv i dont see why we would need those funktions on the switch
well even the 3ds has netflix (I think) and yt
Japan already has nico nico on it ( which is like a TH-cam for Japan) so we might get it sooner or later I hope so
Just got the switch, and the hold the home button tip was something I did not know and appreciate a lot.I'll play a different times and I like being able to just the brightness on the fly without having close the game and go into settings
Thumbs up for Andrew the new guy!
Even tho , it still feels half-baked... :( Nintendo probably we're TOO excited to show it off, then they we're like :
Nintendo : WE CAN'T WAIT ! WE CAN'T WAIT ! LET'S BAKE IT ALREADY !!
Nintendo staff : At what degree ?
Nintendo : Mmmmm...50° !!
Nintendo staff : No ! That's barely even ba- !
Nintendo : SHUT UP ! I SAID 50° !!!
Nintendo staff : How about the Legend Of Zelda : Breath of the wild ?
Nintendo : 1000° degree !
Nintendo staff : What ??
Nintendo : DO IT !
DR. FUN TIMES Zelda is cooked to 1000 degree! Made me laugh :)
;) :) :)
and then it turned out mostly okay maybe a bit burnt on the outside but still edible
Here's a fun thing though: When Nintendo was doing all those events to show the Switch before the launch, the scratch problem didn't seem to be present, or nobody mentioned it (which would be weird). And in those events they did dock&undock the units a lot. So... Maybe we are clumsy? Idk, but it just seems curious.
Tai Prev Since all of the scratches appear irregular, my current theory is sand got stuck on grips,or peopel are really careless.
And keep in mind, you only hear the bad stories.
Tai Prev eghhhhhhhhh I understand what your saying but just realize this, company's make products on TV and at events better than they really are at retail.
Hell I remember the Xbox 360 launch, everyone was so excited but then a pretty large amount of them got the infamous "red ring of Death" and couldn't do anything with their xbox's.
They had docks at those events? I always saw event units secured with a wire at the bottom.
Daniel Mitev I went to one of the events. It depended on the game you were playing. Zelda allowed you to dock and undock as much as you desired and it was highly encouraged you do so. I think a few other stations would allow you to dock or undock the system too. Disgia and Sonic Mania both allowed it as far as I can recall. It was very hit and miss. Generally, if it's a one player game, they allowed it since there was no chance you'd be removing sight from whoever you might be playing with.
It seems that it might be a manufacturing defect on some docks
This video is circulating TH-cam again and it's making me realise how old the Switch is! Best Nintendo console ever made.
Hey, I recommend buying the wired controllers rather than the pro controllers, they are the exact same but they use a wire and can usually be bought for around £20 British pounds, some have really cool designs, like the breath of the wild one
Whatsappund
The wired controllers aren't the same, they aren't even made by nintendo.
You missed Dark theme and bright theme
Don't hot knife it
Well thanks for the tips! My family got us one for christmas which was a huge suprise, and i just wanted to take some extra precautions. You know, keeping it clean, and safe mainly.
8:47 I'm from the future, Nintendo released a patch to make this doable
Thank for the tips. Ill be getting A switch soon
Same here man!
smak hey wanna gameshare with me on switch and yes u can gameshare on switch
Thank you for this video! Im planning on getting a switch in a few weeks so this was very helpful :)
Heads up since this video is old D brand now has switch friendly skins so you're free to customize to your hearts content.
@Jourdyn Yancy possibly skinits but I don't know much about them so do your own research.
I like this guy. No shoehorned in fake humor. Keep up the good work!
Ah Man i should've watched before buying an customized pro controller.😞 Nice vid
