I wish the Joy Cons had grips. It annoys me when I use the Switch on handheld mode and I have nothing to hold on to.
XC2’s story has me by the throat… Such great characters and the plot just keeps taking unexpected turns. Nothing too unexpected so far, because foreshadowing and whatnot, but it keeps you on the edge.
Combat, while confusing, has some depth when you really get into it, similar to XCX.
I really like the Blade system and how it allows you to build your party the way you want to. Sure, you’re limited by each party member’s strengths/weaknesses, but you have more freedom than what most games like this normally offer. Looking forward to when I can start optimizing for synergy, combos, and damage.
There are 3rd party attachments for this
Can anyone recommend a good charger for the Switch? In the past I just used the power cable that came with the dock, but that’s a big pain in the ass to go behind my tv and unplug it from both the wall and the Switch dock they time I take a trip and want to bring my Nintendo. I’m looking for something more portable that’s safe. I have a Note 8, but I’ve read that the Switch isn’t able to use Samsung’s fast charging technology and my phone charger wouldn’t be a good choice. Any recommendations, or should I just buy the officially licensed ac adapter to take with me on trips?
I just use the cable that came with the Pro Controller to charge my Switch when I need to charge it outside of sitting it on the dock.
No body but Samsung uses Samsung Fast charge tech.
That said, the best match is the official Charger for the Switch as it also supports the +15v for the dock if you ever want a portable travel dock.
(Nintendo kinda went off spec for the USB C charging and HDMI capabilities over USB C, and its not Thunderbolt).
Now if you don’t care for a travel dock any reputable USB C charger works
Anker chargers on Amazon have fast charge chips that can charge as fast as your device will let it.
What’s a good portable travel dock?
Personally I used this
https://www.amazon.com/BASSTOP-Portable-Nintendo-Replacement-original/dp/B071YVC3NJ/
It requires a standard Nintendo Dock for it’s board inside.
Something like this would be cheaper, and its light and user friendly

So that first one I’d have to open up my dock and gut the board, then install it in the Basstop? Does that require any soldering? If be afraid I’d fuck something up. Thanks for the links man, I kinda like that second one just because it’s smaller and requires no tinkering with electronics. The most experience I have with that stuff is putting a Cthulhu into a TE and swapping out the buttons, lol.
No soldering. Just unscrew stuff, carefully remove some ribbon cables and transplant the board into the Basstop case.

So what are my options for sd cards?
The Switch can support micro sds up to 2TB but those cards ain’t available yet.
They have quite a few on Amazon, but I’m weary buying 3rd party docks. The Nyko ones bricked quite a few switches.

Pretty much any Micro SD card from a reputable manufacture
San Disk, PNY, ect…
The Switch set for 2TB max, and the biggest you can find is 512 GB.
A single 128gb should be plenty.
128 GB is perfect for the foreseeable future.
Yeah, at the moment the highest in the 200 and 256 range but unless you are buying exclusively digital and just retail third party games 128 GB plus the on board 32 GB is more then enough .
So sdxc right?
Yep
