Hi guys, just got my Switch yesterday, wanna get your 2cents on certain things.

1.
What kind of powerbank should i get?
ISR25 suggested ZMI QB820, would like more choices i can choose

2. Anyone got recommendations for a budget carry case? a case that will carry the switch + adapter, games and powerbank

3. For those who have tried multiple types of Screen Protector, any brand suggestion?

4. Do you guys dock the switch? or is it bad cause might scratch screen?

I know you guys already posted all this before, sorry for asking icon_question.gif

I bought this myself..
To answer no.1
Anker A1371 Powercore+ . Charges the switch while playing at full brightness , wifi on etc.. and should add about a good 9hours (conservative timing) to your switch play time

Thinking of buying this:

Seems like it's using the same chip as Hori's official adapter - ASIX AX88179

I once bought a "same chipset" usb to lan adapter for my WiiU and it didn't work sad.gif ... so becareful..

So what do you guys think about MK8 so far? Still on the fence.. Already played the hell out of the Wii U version... so not sure if it's worth the rm 250 (from e-shop)

It's definitely the best version to get. With a few more characters, maps and battle mode to play. It's as fun as the Wii U version. All I can say is if you want to play Mario Kart again, get it. There won't be any new one's for some time, so it's not a bad choice for me. I also played the Wii U version a lot, but I'm loving the Switch version. There is some new stuff to enjoy like the new battle modes and maps. Also if you never bought the DLC on the Wii U version, it comes included, with all the characters and new maps as well. Lots of fun. Plus, you can play it on the go, unlike Wii U, which is a plus for me.

Thanks to me not playing much if at all, on WiiU, am enjoying it too much. I bring my Switch everywhere I go now just to complete a cup, a time trial and playing online.

Currently hunting Gold kart parts.

Had play sessions with Aussies last night, very solid connection between 8-12 players. Already not liking the whole scramble nature of the game, if you're stuck in the middle of the pack, you're stuck there, period. Only when you break away to the top 3-4 is when you won't get bombarded with shells left and right. Maybe I treat it too much like a racing game....

Any of you guys tried multiplayer via the switch joycons only ? haha one of the reasons i am considering getting it is because my eldest daughter likes it.. and wondering what the experience is using the joycons when we wait for my wife to do her shopping (use case scenario that often happens lol)

I'm playing it with joycons on handheld mode just fine. And the joycons with grip, not much issue. Grip might be a bit near apart, but once you get used to it no problem.

Oh i meant like split joycon.. each player with one side of the joycon

Never knew people do Shoryukens and Hadoukens in their aerobics routine. That gay arm swing......maybe. Or maybe that Shoryuken move is a gamer's way of shyly showing how small their arm muscles are infront of the gym mirror, you know.....as how those bodybuilders/fitness freaks flex themselves like a peacock infront of the mirror after each set? tongue.gif

Hopefully those motions are limited only to that "bonus game" and even better if you can do it with regular controls..

Hmm ppl selling their Wii U eh.. interesting I was thinking of selling mine too. Wanted to ask (if anybody knows).. I know you can't really unlink ur NNID from the WiiU the best you can do is delete your NNID and in future should you get another WiiU again is to transfer your games over.

Is there anyway i can remove my NNID for security purposes and also keep the games on the system as a potential "value" for selling the console?

Thanks for any advice

You need to call Nintendo and they could unlink it for you. No experience in it tho, but that's what most said. Same goes for 3ds.

Yeah I read that however they can't really unlink it so much as transfer it to another wii U.. the best course of action I read was to delete your NNID and then note down the machine's serial number etc etc... and if you get a new Wii U then call them. .. Hmm maybe i'll email them and ask. But knowing this type of customer service.. I'll probably get a generic answer that doesn't answer my question other than a few "associated words" lol.

Accessories are so damned cheap in HK. I was contemplating buying a set of joycons the other day for multiplayer ARMS.. but a friend had a line to get one more set from HK.. and it cost me only rm 300.... vs at best rm 380 here.

That last point... Thank You Nintendo. I use a multi-HDMI switch and I can't count how many times while playing Horizon Zero Dawn that the switch triggers an input change.

Signed, sealed, confirmed. "World" is the next "Hunter". Also explained why it's not called MH5. Perhaps to avoid salty tears of its most devout portable adopters? tongue.gif

When numbers are old-fashioned. And a catchy suffix keeps and maintains its diehard fans in denial. Not a "river in Egypt kind."
Capcom got the memo on this one. Been in 240p jail for a long time it's stiflingly archaic.

Reading this interview.... the general theme seem to be...

"Yes most modern gamers.. especially in the western countries need to have an objective arrow (scoutflies) to their next mission.objective.. and learning mechanics is too hard for them.. so we are going to dumb down the game... but remember we are really not... but we really are... but I have to keep saying we are not"

Yeah, because catering to the hardcore few generates so much sale for them, eh? They realized that they cant survive on the meager remainders of 3DS players and needed a slice of that sweet AAA crowd demographics. If doing so keeps MH alive for the "supposed" hardcore crowd to have their next numeric iteration of "hardcore" MH on Nintendo's portables because the "dumbed down" version of the game sales will keep the franchise afloat, are the "hardcores" complaining now? biggrin.gif

It's a gamble. A gamble because Capcom is in deep financial shit after several duds of their releases. The new Dead Rising failed to garner critical mindshare, SFV *raucuos laughter*, ....and even RE7 failed to meet their lofty 10 million units sale target (which by the way, is a sign of a company in deep financial shit btw, when they expect a sale that high, even HZD cant even manage). If Capcom is rolling in money right now, they'd be more than happy just catering to the portable few instead of having to branch out to the home crowd. They've done that with previous MH iterations anyway.
*
Well, it's not just them, everybody is adjusting their games to cater to the "easy" crowd. I don't fault developers so much as fault the current generation, that without an arrow pointing them to their next objective, the game isn't worth playing anymore.

First online session wasn't bad at all. Got around 8 people joining. Most were using mic as well. Our complains are we can't add others as friends without traditionally telling the friends code via voice chat lol and also it's just friends, can't play with anyone else on the internet.
