Basically if I don't need to charge on the go/as i play, any 2A USB wall plug + USB Type A - Type C cable should do the job for charging the Switch, right? hmm.gif

the UK power plug for switch is humongous for travelling, planning to use my slim type phone charger if it works.
*
Charging while off = any USB charger can. Even the USB port on your PC can do it.

Charging while sleep mode = at least USB-A charger. Delivers up to 10W if you're lucky.

Charging while playing = depending on load (what games you're playing) you may get away with either maintain charge or slow charge. Any heavy loads like playing Zelda or Fast RMX, you need a USB-C to USB-C charger with Power Delivery profile or the official charger from Nintendo.

Thanks! I actually did read the previous thread but I just can't fully understand it  rclxub.gif
I went straight to buy Belkin cable at first but it was not available in radio shack/ all it & other shops that's why I bought Baseus instead
(tho I know type c-c with qb powerbank works but $$$)

Thanks for sharing the link. Will read to see if i can understand this one lol

Check my post history. I've posted the recommended powerbank and external third party charger capable of replacing the official Nintendo AC charger.

All I can say is, "F**k you Capcom". You hold your "support" hostage with the requirement of your overpriced bullshit called USF2:TFC to "sell well" before you consider supporting the Switch. F*ck you, Capcom.....f*ck you.

Hashtag #F*ckCapcom, after that last #F*cKonami bullshit. These Japanese companies are so out of touch with their own demographics, it's frustrating and ridiculous.

Going by the translation: "In regards to Switch, Capcom will think of how to support the Switch while looking at how Street Fighter 2 does on the system in May", can be construed as Capcom looking at how USF2 does sale-wise in May, and adjusting how to support the platform in terms of what games they wanna release on Switch. "Support" here could mean Capcom looking at sales of USF2 and adjust what games they wanna release (hence, "support") on the platform.

Page 2 of that article linked, translated by Google Translate:

QUOTE
As an example similar to a switch, "Nintendo DS" also had a strong concern about the unique function of two screens, but overthrowing it was explosive selling way. However, it was because Nintendo himself developed a game that made use of its function, other games in the early stages could not be sold easily. This is true also in the case of "Wii".

Ultimately, you will not see it unless you play a game that fits the characteristics of the game machine. The same applies to VR. Currently, a wide variety of VR games are available, but only a few are being evaluated by users.

For Capcom, we are pursuing basic research aiming at a system that can provide games to any model. As for switches, we release "Ultra Street Fighter II" in May, so we will consider response while looking at the situation.
.

I see lots of excuses here, instead of seeing it for what it is. NeoGeo games has been released on the Switch and it plays fine on the tiny JoyCons in its half mode, Grip mode or the Pro Controller itself. That article talks about ADOPTing a traditional game and shoehorning modes that features the functions of the system into the game, when nobody else wanted it. It was evident in itself when Capcom released SFIV for the 3DS with their shitty touchscreen-tap-here-for-special-moves bullshit, and it's evident on the USF2 with its "waggle this way to do hadokens". Nobody asked for touchscreen-tapped fireballs, nd nobody asked for Joycon-waggles for hadokens. Capcom never learned from their idiotic nonsense earlier and making the same mistakes here, even doubly so by charging more than twice the price for a game is 10-20 years old (depending on which version of SF2 you're looking at).

5 million copies of USF2 to guarantee support, and 10 million copies of RE7 to break even. Are children with sempoa/abacus doing accounting at Capcom? SMH.

From that article, which one of this statement do you interpret it as:

"If USF2 doesn't sell well, we won't do games like USF2 on Switch. We'll try something different"

OR

"If USF2 doesn't sell well, we are done with Switch".

OR

something else you see it as? Discuss.

If this is true, don't you feel betrayed by Capcom/Sony, dear MH-playing MonHun fans?

Sony's moneyhatting knows no bounds. Signs of a desperate attempt to keep surviving in a cutthroat industry.

Until......the plot twist at E3 2017......Monster Hunter 5.....on Playstation......Vita 2? Dun dun dunnnnnnnn!!!

I don't blame Nintendo. I'd be taking advantage of conditioned idiots prevalent today if they're stupid enough to fall for clear-as-day-daylight-robbery-scams like these.

I'd like to appeal to current owners of this powerbank to test this out: can your Switch be charged while being inside the dock, and in turn, allow the dock to output video out via HDMI with the dock only powered by this powerbank? Reason being, being the first user/tester of this powerbank here, I cannot make it work as how this guy allegedly made his Switch charged while on dock (supposedly) with just being powered by this powerbank and allow HDMI out from the dock (while powered only by this powerbank alone).

The Reddit post in question: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/com...power_bank_can/

Please test this if you can. Either A) his modified dock has somehow circumvented the "handshaking" between the PCB inside the dock and approved chargers to allow HDMI video out from the dock, or B) there's a new version of this powerbank that tricks that "handshaking" protocol into thinking it is a Nintendo AC charger and allow HDMI video out with only the powerbank charging the dock.

I've tested mine and it's not possible. Maybe those in the latter batches of this powerbank has somehow got theirs with this "magic" ability.

This is how Nintendo wants you to voice chat on the Switch: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1383633

Official tweet from HORI, which also makes this the most certainly an official Nintendo license product, which implies this as the way Nintendo wants you to voice-chat/teamchat on your Switch.

To say Nintendo is "bloody out of touch" when it comes to teamchat is a frickin' understatement. Bunch of old farts with their "let's discard all the preconceived working notions of presently available and simplified method of voice/team chat out of the window and throw this idea at the wall and see if it f**king sticks".

WHAT. THE. EFFFFFFFFFF. NINTENDOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!? I know the game is about squids, but dont turn the players into squids themselves with these wire spaghettis!!! What a clusterf*** of a #Covfefe proportion!

Yup. I'd rather they give Tekken Tag Tournament 2 WiiU port and Pokémon Star than Pokken WiiU and 240p Pokémon games.

Yup basically echoes what I said earlier perfectly.



Nintendo has been making all the right moves since release, it's time for them to make their shares of shit ones now. Started with the photo of that shitty voice-chat monstrosity and now, the Pokemon missed opportunity.

The comment section of this video, make sure you don't have hypertension or high blood pressure, too much salt.

yup, not THAT Pokemon.



Game Freaks has always been known to be stubbornly "traditional", and they're notorious for being slow to adopt towards better equipped platforms. Heh, even Pokken was passed on to Bandai Namco to deal with high-rezzing the graphics (still sub-720p with rollercoasting framerate tongue.gif ) and gameplay mechanics, while Game Freaks is only there "by name" as "publisher". I imagine seeing the people at Game Freaks being crinkly wrinkled old farts who works on CRT monitors programming furiously on sub-HD iterations of Pokemon while the rest of the world passed them by. Even the simplest of a Pokemon game, Pokemon Go, is already HD. Ooops, they're not made by them (again!), they're developed by Niantic. Figures, eh? tongue.gif

Managing expectations isn't the issue here, insiders at the much "livelier" and "insightful" NeoGAF forum (compared to this place) had indicated that the new Switch Pokemon is almost confirmed to be coming, and the general reaction to this Direct is the reason why it is. If it is reported by the much reputable Eurogamer/Digital Foundry, I don't what else you can rely on insider news these days.

game freak never is a publisher for any pokemon game. they just devs for the mainline. spinoff is handled by other devs as game freak never involved in developing those since 1st ever spinoff title (which should be pokemon tcg)
mystery dungeon? spike chunsoft
stadium? Nintendo EAD
snap? HAL
ranger? HAL/creatures

edit: also everyone should know better on not believing 100% what insider say regarding unannounced stuff, except ubisoft-related. it's already obvious all the leaks before switch release comes from ubisoft staff as source. also as much as eurogamer is trustable, ppl still waiting for that mother 3 localization to exist lol

Dev for the mainline then. Statement about them being crinkly old farts who refuses to move with the times remain. Wait.....I can say the same with Nintendo too, until recently, with the Switch. tongue.gif

Looks like my Switch will remain dusty until Mario Odyssey, unless there's surprises at E3. Never put high hopes on the Big N, they're going three-for-three from the looks of it with the "Splatoon 2 voice chat wire octopus" and this "Pokemon Direct disappointment" * or not, depending on who you ask*.

Harsh love for ya, Nintendo....coz I wan't ya to dig yourself out of that shithole called WiiU. Although despite general consensus that the WiiU tanked, crashed and burn, some has stubbornly still declared it a "worthwhile" console. I'm embarrassed to admit I made that mistake in the early life of WiiU, am not going to make the same mistake again. Tempered expectations.

The aftermath of "that Pokemon announcement". Some of the choice responses are apt.

QUOTE
"People aren't against the system. It's the fact that after playing on what really is a handheld capable device that outputs a brilliantly sharp 720p image, they don't want to go back to a 240p screen. Switch is also a lot more comfortable to hold for most people."

"I've been against it from the start with its low power and even lower resolution."

"Playing games on 240p screen hurts after experiencing Switch."

"People want the 3DS to die so that Nintendo moves everything to the Switch and has a completely unified platform."

"Because of Nintendo's limited resources any new 3DS game feels like one less game for the Switch. Coupled with the feeling that the Switch is also a portable machine, why isn't the focus on the Switch?"

"I'm sorry, but I've always hated the 3DS, so I wouldn't be sad to see it go. I'm fine with games still being made for it, if they're also ported to Switch (like Fire Emblem Warriors) but that should stop next year as well. 3DS has had its time to shine, it's done and needs to die soon. Nintendo needs to put all of its attention and focus on making their new platform work."

"Because people are tired of 240p gaming. The Switch has shown us the light. Some calculators have higher resolution screens than the 3ds. Let that sink in. Before the Switch, we tolerated it because there was no alternative."

"Have a 3DS, Vita and a Switch. Would rather have all games on either Vita or Switch. The resolution of the 3DS is not making games look good imo."
user posted image
Citra, the 3DS emulator, already shows how good 3ds games can look."

"People don't have a problen witg 3DS games coming out. They have a problem with them not being multiplatform with Switch."

"This. I've seen the Vita, I've played Switch on the go. The sooner we can get rid of those jaggy ass 3D models the better.
3D on DS was unplayably ugly most of the time, 3D on 3DS is okay, with gritted teeth.
Handdrawn 2D doesn't look great, either, so many details getting lost between those fat ass pixels."

Eh, if they can do it for Monster Hunter XX, I don't see why they cant do it for the other games. Up-res those Pokemon USUM and Fire Emblem games and put it on eShop. That's the point that post about Citra was posted: MHXX Switch from what was shown is effectively an up-res version of its 3DS counterpart. Some folks sell off their 3DS to fund for the Switch, after Nintendo gives the impression that they're supporting the Switch heavily.......and now there are games only available on the portable they've just sold.

mhxx do have some texture change, so it's not like a simple upres like some people thought

it's atlus, they're well known for lttp
plus, eov is a game that's even earlier released than a certain 5th game that cause this game's localization delayed
although, for the other 2... it's atlus being lttp like usual, just like them during early 3ds time

Say there's texture change, "like some people thought" rolleyes.gif , Capcom does that conversion pretty quickly. What's the difficulty with porting shitty lower quality 240p Pokemon 3DS games then? Audience number? Pokemon reception rivals or even surpasses MH number of audiences. Look at the Citra emulator screenshot I quoted, it's done and done, the game hiding underneath that forced 240p resolution (so that you can play it on the 3DS) is beautiful, you just need to port it to the Switch with no added or extra effort needed, the Switch is plenty powerful enough to do so.

Nintendo is just being the survivalist that they are: they want to have their cakes on both platforms and eat it both too. Either that or they just wanna appease those who's stubbornly stuck with their 3DS not to feel so bad when their games are available and in much better form than on their 3DSes. Not that this is gonna make a difference, Nintendo's gonna Nintendo.
