Sorry for you, but I'm waiting to hear if the 8bitdo controller works

Nope cant even connect via bluetooth/USB or even via 2.4 and the dongle.

Its just point blank ignores it.

The new eShop is great

Busy downloading MKW and will take a couple hours

Great screen, nice and big too. Think I might actually play handheld mode more often

How is your battery

@My_King did you order one of these:

Screen Protective Filter for Nintendo Switch 2

Don’t let your screen get scratched and worn. Protect your Nintendo Switch™ 2 with the HORI Screen Protective Filter.| Nintendo Distributor SA

store.nintendo.co.za

I have to order the Pro 2 controller so contemplating adding one to the order.

Too early to tell. Will only really know from tomorrow onwards when I actually play

Aaaaah CRAP!!!!

All the games I skipped cause of bad Frame rate seems to now run way better.

Guess my shopping list just increased in size, esp 1st party games ie: Bayonetta 2 & 3 and so on

Excellent. I knew it was a good idea to get mine tomorrow. I let you guys do all the figuring out and leg work and I’ll stroll in like a boss

That was brutal. Good to see the S2 alive after that abuse.

"Jerry" is seldom impressed but he was with the S2's robustness!

@FiestaST
Yeah. Joy-Cons show impressive durability. You have to go out of your way to damage those. Jury still out on whether drift will be an issue...

 

[username and 23 others]

I thought the dynamic resolution will also be "locked" at the highest resolution possible on the games without paid texture upgrades...? 30/60FPS should be standard for all S1 games at least. Other sites are reporting that Bayo is also buttery smooth now.
