Another vote here for AmFilm. Had it on my Switch since day 1.

I use AmFilm for my Switch and my phone. Solid protectors.

This is the one I got for my Switch. I also went with the same brand for my Fire tablet due to how much I liked it. Easy to apply and they include everything to make sure the screen is clean before applying.

That's the one I have too. It's really nice and it's a 2 pack so if you screw it up badly you have another shot at it.

Thirding the AmFilm tempered glass. Cleanest screen guard install I have ever done on any device, is just thick enough that it doesn't rub against the dock, and is easy to clean.

sweet thanks team

so far i've only played it docked with a Pro controller and feel like those should be the only controllers I buy

does anyone else forgo Joy-cons completely?

granted once proper screen protection is applied, i may more seriously consider mobile play, but it'll be uncommon at least until i get a new job & commute

[Corrderio]

Joycons can be somewhat good for shooters and necessary for TWEWY Final Remix unless you play handheld with a stylus.

[Prothescar]

Apparently a patent has surfaced for an official SNES controller for the Switch. Hope that means what it seems like it means.

[Corrderio]

It makes sense. Rumor is Nintendo was going to roll out a more expensive online service. Wouldn't surprise me if they made a premium version for SNES titles.

Reminder that these titles were found back in Jan of this year.

Looks like Grandia's HD collection is just running sprites through a filter.



Hard pass for me unless I can disable.

Nintendo is mass copyright striking channels that upload original or extended versions of their music.

Are the new improved battery life Switches out here in the US or not? Went to Walmart this morning and I seen a box with more red on it than an other box, but I couldn't see a model number on either one so was not sure.

[Serra]

I believe so -- I think Nintendo offered to replace Switches for people who bought the older model right before the new one was announced.

Also, Nintendo has an indie game showcase in just over an hour:

Yes, at least according to the ads I've seen. Walmart and Amazon are selling them. I'm sure most other retailers are as well.

New Wabi Sabi burner account so they can post about Nintendo stuff?

Just a heads up Nintendo clarified they are NOT replacing switches. Apparently CS reps were giving bad information.

In a new-look Indie World presentation livestreamed globally today, Nintendo highlighted an exciting selection of independent games that are coming to the Nintendo Switch system soon, thanks to the passionate efforts of indie developers around the world who have found a home with Nintendo.
