I have no intention of ever using any of this nonstalgia emulator stuff, but I'm hoping all of this helps the Switch's online play network. As of right now it's shaky at best and atrocious more often than not.
Looks like those My Nintendo Gold Points can be used when purchasing the online subscription. 1 point=1 cent so if you've got 2,000 points (and they don't expire before the 18th) you can get a year for free.
Still not a very compelling "service" to buy regardless.
Any one have any clarification on this?
From what I'm reading, my understanding is that this is all account based. I have a switch with a nintendo/eshop account linked to my user account on the switch. My son also has a user on the switch with no nintendo account linked. He won't be able to use the online features unless he has a nintendo account with the subscription plan. Which means I have to get the family plan. Is this the correct take on this?
On the other hand the family plan doesn't really seem to have many restrictions, meaning 8 people can split the cost of $35 a year and get the online features for < $5 a year.
Note: I don't own any of the other consoles (xbox, ps) so I don't know how the online service for those systems work. Are they all account based as well or console based?
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-online-service-more-details-reveal/1100-6461758/Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions can be purchased in one-month (US $4 / £3.49 / AU $6), three-month (US $8 / £7 / AU $12), and 12-month (US $20 / £18 / AU $30) increments. Nintendo is also offering an annual Family Plan for US $35 / £31.49 / AU $55, which allows up to eight Nintendo Account holders in the same family group to take advantage of the service, even across different Switch consoles. You'll be able to try the service for free for seven days when it launches.
I bought the 1 year subscription and had immediate access to all the games available and I'm not sure why but its great to play these games on the switch.

That would make the whole subscription thing a lot more palatable. I still have yet to sign up but it's not far off.
The games are still great... that's why!I'm not sure why but its great
According to some of the Switch modding community, they are just straight-up .NES file rips that were likely pulled from ROM sites (something about headers, etc.).
Not surprising. It is quick and easy to get ROMs and it is like someone could sue sue them over it.According to some of the Switch modding community, they are just straight-up .NES file rips that were likely pulled from ROM sites (something about headers, etc.).
At this point I don't think there is any way to use any Homebrew without risking a ban. I have seen a few reports sinces 6.0 launched of people claiming zero pirating and still being banned. Honestly not worth the riskSo, has anyone here used SX OS or anything to rip legit carts to microSD? I don't really have any interest in non-legit copies of stuff, but I'd love to be able to have all of my carts digitally on the system. ONLY if there's no threat of having my Switch blacklisted, of course.
Not quite sure where to start since most of the scene seems to be mostly interested in pirated stuff or general homebrew.
The problem is Nintendo you never know how stupid there willing to go on banning people. Today there not banning people but that does not mean they won't target it in the future.So, has anyone here used SX OS or anything to rip legit carts to microSD?

It is different, the speed on the card is limited on the Switch hardware so buying something 2 times as fast as basic card doesn't mean you get the same performance gain on the Switch (lets say the Switch hardware limit is 20MB/s).Question. What is the best SD card to use for the Switch?
Is a Sandisk Ultra fine speed wise:

Or does the Extreme Sandisk give a performance gain?:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...xwg_032g_ancma_extreme_plus_microsd_32gb.html
Huge price different, but does it matter for performance? Most reviews I see seem to mention 128GB models. Samsung also has an Evo 32GB for $10.
I mostly use cartridges (to sell the games if I want to) so a massive amount of space isn't needed but may get a 64GB anyways. Any suggestions for those?

On youtube there are some tests done.
I would not have a clue .Can I use an Micro SD adapter that came with a 16GB (SDHC) with a 64GB Mico SDXC?

Yikes, that sucks... I noticed that with the NES Classic, but assumed it was partly due to the TV.... Do they lag the same way in handheld mode?
pro grip is finally here https://imgur.com/a/9MJudpO it was definately worth the wait, now I can play dual stick games much more comfortably in handheld mode plus the case looks sick !

I think that it's more suitable for larger hand sizes, mine are small-medium ( 18cm with short chubby fingers ) so it won't replace my pro controller when i want to try-hard in some games, but it's close enough
seems to me the left hand would benefit from the same grip as the right for comfortable access the lower buttons... or are they never really used in any game?
