Just joined the Switch party. Sure would be nice to have some DVDTalk friends .

My friend code is: SW-5142-1134-4738

What? Nintendo is still using Friend Codes? Seriously? What year is this?

Curious what the Nintendo Direct coming up on Thursday will bring. There’s a supposed leak of a potential firmware 5.0 floating around that looks pretty promising if it’s real. Also curious on what else Nintendo has up their sleeves as far as releases for the year or if we’ll get any big third party announcements.

Hopefully it will solve some of my mystery preorders

Welp, Amazon Warehouse has a pretty loose definition of "Very Good". Opened my controller today (hey, the box was pristine) and got the controller out. It was FILTHY, covered in greasy spots and the right thumbstick didn't even return to neutral - it just sagged down low. What a disgrace. I called them and told them what was up. Though I kept saying that it was no big deal for me to return it, the guy told me to throw it away and he refunded my money immediately. I said okay -- at least the charging cable looks okay; I will keep that. Noticed that they were selling a "Like New" one for about the same price. I will roll the dice and give them one more try before relenting and just paying their (nearly) full price for a new one if this one doesn't live up to its condition description.

The Questyen

I've bought hundreds of things from Amazon warehouse deals and it's hit or miss no matter the description. I've gotten just as many brand new looking items buying stuff in the "acceptable" category as I have buying "like new".

Ordering through Amazon Warehouse is always a thrill, because you never know what you are going to end up with . I always order in the mindset of never ordering anything too big that would be too difficult or awkward for me to send back.

But yeah, their rating scale is a joke. I've even ordered stuff that said they were factory sealed that came opened and missing content.

They really need to add wireless Bluetooth headphones support

fujishig

Is that even in the specs, though? I mean they could redesign the dock or something to just include a receiver, but otherwise I don't think a firmware update will "enable" the feature. Heck, I'm surprised they even updated it to work with USB wireless headsets. I mean look at that whole "need a separate phone and an app to communicate" garbage they came up with.

Noonan

It's not an issue for me but would one of those BT adapters that connect via headphone plug to a device work for Switch?

mattysemo247

Hah, Amazon cancelled all of my mystery Switch preorders. Dang.

Gamestop tweeted and deleted about a Nintendo Direct starting in 45 minutes, only making the wait harder. Nintendo knowing this tweeted the following...

mattysemo247

Yeah, it looks like they have a mini direct going today. Already announced a bunch of stuff, including Dark Souls Remastered and Mario Tennis Aces.

https://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/01-11-2018/

Dark Souls Remastered coming 5/25/18. DKC Tropical Freeze (Wii U port) coming 5/4/18. Donkey Kong also coming to Mario + Rabbids.

A new Mario Tennis game? Yes please!

Noonan

Really? Day....One....Purchase.

Give me a new Mario Golf as well, please!!

Adam Tyner

That's a whole bunch of stuff packed into 14 minutes!

fujishig

So basically I'll have to buy Hyrule Warriors (for the third time), Dark Souls (for the third time), and TWEWY again. Argh, just give me a TWEWY sequel already.

It also seems like they're going to port pretty much every game that makes the WiiU worth keeping. I'm actually kind of surprised we haven't gotten a third Mario Maker for the switch yet.

pinata242

I need another Mario Golf game more than I need oxygen.

bluetoast

Hell, I’ll take any tennis game. I don’t think there’s been anything decent since Top Spin on the original Xbox.

Decker

If by "Stuff" you mean ports and DLC, then sure.

Will get that Mario Tennis game though.

RichC2

I never played much of Dark Souls, so a portable version would be nice I suppose.

bluetoast

Wow, Tennis will have a story mode like the GBA version. I’m in.

mattysemo247

I wouldn't fully bet on Mario Tennis just yet. Mario Tennis on Wii U was hot garbage and didn't even include a story mode.

RichC2

They showed the story mode in the trailer for this one.

mattysemo247

Well that's a good start

Hopefully it's just fun to play. That was the biggest issue with the last one. Even if it had a story mode, it was just bland and not much fun to play.
