With screen protectors you really want to go with tempered glass. Starter kits are a nice deal, but you do get what you pay for when it comes to screen protectors; such is life.

For a screen protector, I along with the rest of Reddit it seems have settled upon this screen protector as being the absolute best. I even had Best Buy Geek Squad install it to virtually guarantee proper installation, and it looks absolutely fantastic. I had the chance to play for a few weeks without it and personally think it actually makes the screen look better.

For a case I would go the RDS Industries route and get either this or even this larger case that can fit all the related Switch accessories.

Things that you will require:




Screen protector. The switch has a plastic screen. It will scratch incredibly easily. Don't buy the el cheapo film style protectors. Get a glass screen protector. You can get a two pack of them on amazon for under 10 bucks. Vastly superior to film screen protectors.

Carrying case. IMO, there are two non negotiable things a switch case needs. First, it needs good rigidity. With the DS line, you could get away with a soft case. The clamshell design is fairly impervious to damage in any kind of case. Not so with the switch. You want something that is hard, so it will resist squishing in a backpack, or whatever. It needs to hold the switch in place inside the case rattling around will damage the device over time.

The second thing it absolutely needs is molded cutouts behind where the triggers are. A case that's flat under the switch will press on the triggers when it's in there, and wear it out. You will get many suggestions. Most of them are badly designed or way overpriced. This is the best case for the money. It's super solid, holds 8 games, secures the unit, and has the cutouts.

You'll also want a micro SD. If you're gonna buy physical games, a 32 or 64 should be fine. If you're buying digital, get the biggest card you can afford.


Things you probably want



Buy a good usb-c cable. I recommend Anker brand. Cheap cords are a crapshoot. Not all are standard compliant, and can damage your device

Thumbstick caps. The stick caps as is are frankly shit. I bought a pack of rubber caps for like 4 bucks 100% improvement.

If you're planning to play a lot of Mariokart, get the plastic wheels. They're cheap, and they're cool.

If you want an external controller, I'd advise not buying the official pro controller. 8bitdo.com is currently making a switch compatible controller with gyro, rumble, and usb-c charging. It will be out before the holidays. You can get one of their current controllers for like 40 bucks. It lacks rumble or gyro, but it's a great alternative for games that don't need those. A little small though. The upcoming SNES 30 Pro model looks awesome. I'd advise you to wait for it to drop and check out reviews. The nintendo pro controller is badly designed and super overpriced.

And a plastic folding tablet stand is very useful for tabletop mode. I use one all the time.

God damn you Forbes and your fucking money schemes. Here's the text from the article.

"Overnight, Nintendo update the official SNES Classic Edition console's webpage with links to six major retailers.

The website has changed to say "Pre-order now from these retailers" and includes links to Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Toys R Us and Walmart.

Credit: Nintendo
Get ready to pre-order the SNES Classic Edition.

What time each of these different retailers goes live is an open question at this point, but I'd urge gamers to pay careful attention today as these roll out. There's no doubt in my mind that they're going to go quickly.

Best Buy's pre-orders went live briefly last night, and it's unclear if they've already sold out entirely or if the retailer will open pre-orders up again today.



Regardless, pre-orders will be going up in the very, very near future so keep your eyes open.

Meanwhile, as of this writing the links at the SNES website go to each retailers' home page rather than a store landing page. Here are the actual landing pages for each site except Toys R Us:

Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721GGGS9)

Walmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Nintendo-Entertainment-System-Classic-Edition/55791858)

Best Buy (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nintendo-entertainment-system-snes-classic-edition/5919830.p?skuId=5919830)

Target (https://www.target.com/p/snes-classic-edition/-/A-52826093)

GameStop (http://www.gamestop.com/collection/snes-classic)

Toys R Us (?)
Stay tuned for updates throughout the day.

Here's a list of games coming to the SNES Classic Edition. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2017/06/27/here-are-all-the-games-coming-to-the-mini-snes-classic-edition/#208fafb01b96)

u/nthny · 3 pointsr/nintendo

There are a number of solutions that involve plugging the controller into the Wii Remote so that the Wii U will read them as a Classic Controller.

For GameCube, you've got a couple of options. You can go with this adapter, which lets you use your existing GameCube controller. There's also this controller from Hori, which is an actual Classic Controller in the exact shape of the GameCube controller. I have both, and they both work well, but I prefer the Hori controller.

For N64, there's this adapter. It's the same idea as the GameCube adapter linked above. I haven't used this one myself, so I can't tell you from experience how well it works.

Because all of these options register as Classic Controllers, they have the advantage of being compatible with any Wii or Wii U game that uses it, which is very many of them. For N64 games on the Wii U Virtual Console, you'll be able to adjust the button mapping in the options menu to make sure everything plays just the way you remember it.

I hope this is helpful. Enjoy your Wii U, and welcome to the club!

Hi there, deandiggity!

Thanks for sharing your submission with /r/Nintendo, but unfortunately I've had to remove it because it breaks our rules. Specifically:

u/hipnotyq · 1 pointr/nintendo

Yeah, I feel pretty confident in saying that the employees set consoles aside, which I guess I can't be that pissed about because I did it too once (but not on a super hot item like this, just on a game we only got a few copies of at the store).

It would be nice to get one of these, but I really just want the controllers, which are also sold out everywhere and going for $600 on Amazon.ca at the moment since I already have an awesome modded Wii that I've put a lot of time into and has way more than 30 NES games. I want that controller though for authentic feel. Oh well, I'll get my hands on one soon enough, it's just like amiibos.

u/ledfrog · 2 pointsr/nintendo

You don't have to mash F5 if you're hoping to find it online. Here are the things I did that allowed me to get one pre-ordered:

  • Bookmarks - In my browser, I added 3 bookmarks leading directly to the product pages on Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and Amazon.com. Periodically, I'll check these links just in case I get lucky.
  • Accounts - At each of those three retailers, I made sure my account was updated, accessible and had at least one current payment method ready to go. If I didn't have an account, I created one.
  • Saved passwords - I use Chrome to save all my login passwords on my personal computers and the one I use at work. This allows me to log in (or stay logged in) for even faster access once the pre-order goes live.
  • In stock alerts - I signed up over at NowInStock.net to get a notification via email for when the Classic SNES is available at any of the known retailers. As another measure, I also signed up for the in-stock alerts at the retailers themselves.
  • Check Reddit - Periodically, I do a search for "classic snes" on reddit to see if someone might have reported a known pre-order launch date/time.

    When the Walmart pre-order came online, I got emails from Walmart and NowInStock at exactly 8:30pm (PST) when the pre-order launched and at about 8:45pm, I opened my computer, clicked on the Walmart bookmark and since I was already logged in, I added the item to my cart and ordered it with two clicks.

    Ideally, you just want to be as ready as you can before the pre-order goes live. The more time you spend logging into an account and/or typing in shipping & billing addresses and credit card numbers, the more chances you have of screwing something up or missing out entirely because the item sold out too fast or the site crashed.
u/JavelinR · 1 pointr/nintendo

After reading this I decided to look for cards with similar stats and realized read and write speed are expensive. According to Best Buy a SanDisk 124GB that reads at 80MB/s usually retails for $162. If you go up to their 95MB/s 124GB model, which is close to the Switch brand, the cost increases by over $100 to $270! Now I'm not so sure the Switch is a bad deal (normally).

All that said both non-Switch brand cards I mentioned are on sale right now for $30 and $90 respectively for Black Friday. So definitely a better deal than the Switch brand now assuming they are just as compatible.

Edit: Found the exact same SanDisk Switch cards for $29 and $75 respectively on Amazon. This actually makes for a better deal than the Best Buy sales if you want a 100MB/s

u/ZoopZeZoop · 2 pointsr/nintendo

Pre-ordered on Amazon for free shipping and $5 pantry credit!

Edit: Canceled and ordered a couple of $15 wireless controllers. I can always re-order the cords later, but I think the wireless will be better for us. When I first got the Wavebird controller for the Gamecube, it was a breath of fresh air. I wanted wireless controllers for my PS1, but I was young then with limited financial resources. My parents made sure I had what I needed, but didn't splurge on too many extras that I didn't need. So, I never purchased the wireless controllers for it. I am happy that wireless controllers are now a regular thing!

u/BevoDDS · 3 pointsr/nintendo

Worst case scenario, one of my favorite gift ideas (only costs $25 or so) is a pair of USB NES or SNES controllers, and a USB drive with a collection of ROMs on it. One of my friends in college gave me a CD with something like the top 100 SNES games of all time, and a few years later I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Buffalo-Classic-USB-Gamepad-PC/dp/B002B9XB0E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1478890627&sr=8-2&keywords=usb+snes+controller

I bought two of them, and I never looked back. I realized it was a cheap and unique (although maybe slightly illegal, but I figured I wasn't selling them) gift idea to give two controllers and a USB as a gift to my gamer friends. Even non-gamer friends grew up playing something, so it always sparked a conversation.

Just an idea in the event that you don't find one for your wife in time!

u/fifosexapel · 1 pointr/nintendo

I have both the Mayflash Adapter and the PDP Fight Pad

If you already have the GCN controller, the adapter works well enough, specially if you want it for VC games. Every once on a while, The adapter disconnects mid gameplay for a few secs, so that can be bothersome, I used it with a pc like you intend to, works just fine. The downside is you have less buttons than the classic controller (no select/- and only 3 shoulder buttons) and the L and R are recognized as such instead of ZL/ZR which can be confusing in some instances.

The PDP Fight pad works beautifully, has all the buttons and the right analog stick is actually a stick as opposed to the shorter c-stick. The one downside is the controller feels kinda empty, which makes it feel cheap (kinda like the classic controller or those awful gamestop branded GNN controllers), but it only feels cheap cos they are very responsive.

I would recommend the fight pad over the gcn adapter, unless you absolutely positively need the original gcn controller. Havnet used the hori pads, they have turbo built in but as far as i know are pretty similar to the pdp pads.

u/p0rtugalvii · 0 pointsr/nintendo

While neither look optimal, and I'm getting neither, each version has their strengths and weaknesses.

In the HORI one, the turbo switch and button is an immediate turn off. Any controller with turbo is usually third-party trash and it makes less good players, better through manipulation and I don't like that. The overall build seems like it's a cheaper plastic that the standard ones.

In the PDP one, it is super glossy which looks strange. The C-stick is replaced with a second analog stick, which may be an improvement in some cases, so I don't know how I feel about that. The D-pad looks pretty terrible as well. It is a licensed third party manufacturer on these so, I don't know if that is good or bad.

Personally, I'm getting the Smash Bros WiiU bundle with a GC controller and 4 port adapter and I can use my GC controllers I still have or a Wavebird.

If you want a GC controller spoof for the classic controller like the HORI and PDP essentially are, you can get a Mayflash adapter and just plug any old GC controller into it. I have one and it works really well. Wouldn't recommend it for frame perfect reaction games like Smash, just like I wouldn't recommend a Wavebird either, but it works well.

u/8bitcerberus · 2 pointsr/nintendo

Far too small for my hands, but I ordered a pair of these and they should be arriving soon, this week or next. Read and watched some good reviews before ordering, so I'm hopeful they'll make the JoyCons comfortable enough, if not for me, at least for my friends because I'll be using my Pro Controller :D

u/replus · 1 pointr/nintendo

Oh wow, I wasn't aware the problem ran that deep. I was aware of the risk of getting counterfeit stuff from Amazon, but figured that was restricted to stuff along the lines of "sold by KICKINRADGOODZNGAMEZ and fulfilled by Amazon." Thanks for the feedback everyone, I'll check my card when it shows up next week and post my findings for those still looking to buy. I bought this particular one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B010Q57S62/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

(Not a referral link AFAIK, but feel free to remove it if need be. If removed, it's a Sandisk Ultra 128GB UHS-1 for $39.99. Should be the top result if searching "Sandisk ultra 128 micro".)

u/Suitchi9 · 2 pointsr/nintendo

Honestly I bought the switch never intending to use it in handheld mode because I have a giant TV, but once i undocked it to play some Mario Kart... I never went back to TV mode.

  • The Screen Protector I use is amFilm Tempered Glass

  • To Clean The Screen I just use a small drop of water on a micro fibre cloth

  • And The Case I Use is WaterField CitySlicker Leather Case Black Which Also cleans my screen aswell cause it has a built in Cloth inside so whenever I take it out I get a fresh new screen :)
u/TheVibratingPants · 1 pointr/nintendo

It’s from the old Nintendo Power Comics that they had back in the day. There’s a Super Mario Adventures comic, too, which is actually great fun and my favorite of all of them.

u/legoknight · 1 pointr/nintendo

HORI makes some pretty cool cases. I just picked up this retro 8-bit Zelda case a couple of months ago. I love it and recommend it to everyone. They even make a Mario and Luigi variation. All of them have space for six games and an extra stylus slot.

only drawback is that it's clunky to store.

u/STUNT1990 · 5 pointsr/nintendo

Not sure but this is PDP's Switch "case" (also on BotW version) and, by the looks of it, it's just a semi rigid pouch.

I'm probably getting this one once I can see it in person or a nice review; it looks like it will have some kind of foam (as shoulder buttons would tilt the switch and yet it seems to be in a horizontal position) and I think it's made by the same company as a pretty similar looking NES mini case.

As some people have said, there are a lot of noncompliant chargers and accessories out there that can damage your devices.

Luckily a Google engineer, Benson Leung, took it upon himself to test and analyze a lot of the true compliant USB-C accessories and cables and detail them. Here is list to help out. Plus it has Amazon links

u/KoolAidMan00 · 4 pointsr/nintendo

Yeah, they're nice. I picked up the 20100 because I have new carry-on luggage with USB ports built in. You use a battery pack inside the luggage to power those ports. I know, crazy.

Here's a link to the larger battery without the USB C wall charger: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014ZO46LK/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&sr=1-10&m=A294P4X9EWVXLJ&tag=ianker-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=B014ZO46LK&keywords=battery+charge&qid=1485119219&kwr_id=179

Anyway, I'm curious to see how much faster charging from the USB C port is on the larger unit. Good luck making your pick!

If it's just for Mario Kart you could probably get by on the Joy Cons and these... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MT9RSST/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

We play Mario Kart just fine on them. But it was BotW is much better with the pro controller IMO.

I use a Hori clear duraflexi NN3DS case with my Majora's Mask 3DS, and I keep it in Hori's retro Zelda zipper case. The duraflexi slips on and off real easy and cleans really easy, and it shows off the MM paint job really well. I also got a Hori screen protector, and if it gets scratched too much I just replace it; doesn't leave any residue. Hori makes good shit.

u/halcyoncmdr · 1 pointr/nintendo

Is it slower than a built-in NAND module? Yes, but in the case of a game like this is intended for you'll probably never notice the difference. I don't think that's what you were actually referring to though anyway. I'm betting you were referencing the old slow MicroSD Class 1 cards everyone bought because they were cheap at the time.

Every current MicroSD XC card I can find on Amazon is at least a Class 10/UHS-1 card, which means minimum 10MB/s speeds. Like this $40 128GB Samsung card here. We're not talking about the old standard MicroSD Class 1 cards anymore, modern external card speeds are more than enough for what this use case would likely require.

u/Encryptomaniac · 1 pointr/nintendo

I got these on amazon, they (it comes with 2) get incredible reviews and theyre the nicest screen protectors ive ever bought. I definitely recommend

u/Exaskryz · 2 pointsr/nintendo

Amazon used a different listing than what was set up earlier.

Original listing: https://www.amazon.com/Super-NES-Classic/dp/B0721GGGS9/

Live listing: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074XPZDQR/

Word is that they set up a second listing to thwart bots and trackers like NowInStock that would have automatically purchased on the original listing.

However, it also had the side effect that people who were signed up to be informed when the item went live through Amazon's own notification system did not get any notification - because they were signed up to be notified on the original listing only.

u/ThisDudeIsRad · 2 pointsr/nintendo

I have an adapter that basically tricks a Wiimote into thinking a Gamecube controller is a classic controller and I love it for Virtual Consol games. There's a TINY bit of lag, so it wouldn't be really useful for Smash Bros or Street Fighter ir other fast paced games, but it works great for Star Fox and Zelda, etc...

I tend to think that screen protectors are generally unnecessary on glass devices. There's a chance that in the case of impact on the screen, it might save your device, but it's a pretty limited range of impacts that will shatter a glass screen protector but not the screen itself.

As far as scratches go, I'm on my third smartphone at this point, and before that I had an original iPod touch. On all those devices, the only one I've ever managed to scratch at all is the iPod. And even that was a tiny scratch.

I am relatively careful with my phones (I don't shove them in my pocket with my keys like a monster, for example), but I'm not doing anything that I see as being out of the ordinary, either. I use them, and I take them with me just about everywhere (including day hikes); I just don't abuse them.

I also oversee a 1:1 iPad deployment at work, where we give them to high school students. A lot of ours are in Otterboxes that we provide which cover the screens, but we have a fair number that aren't (and the first year we did it, we used a different case). I've only seen a very very few of those that kids managed to scratch. And they're rough on things. (We do have a moderate number of broken screens each year, but these are careless high schoolers.) Even on our iPads in carts at the elementary and middle schools, where I've seen glitter and art supplies and various other things on the screens, I don't think I've seen any scratches (and we've had no broken ones). So take that for what it's worth.

I think that if you get an inexpensive case for the Switch for when it's riding around in your bags or when it's not in use, it'll probably be fine.

u/picano · 2 pointsr/nintendo

A 2nd set of joycon would give you 4 player (4 single joycon: 2 left, 2 right) or a solid 2 player (2 full pairs). There are some games that require a full controller (joycon pair / pro controller), others that only support single Joycon (Super Mario Party) and many others that allow a mix (Super Bomberman R allowing up to 8 players).

Nothing from the Wii/U will work, unless you have a gamecube adapter + gamecube controllers. A gamecube controller via this setup is a mostly full lacking a few gameplay buttons (ZL, L stick, R stick), a few system buttons (Minus, Home, Capture), rumble, and gyro.

Also, get a screen protector.

If you plan to do online play, you'll want a family account even if you're only using 1 console. This way, each of you can have a profile/account for $35 rather than $20 apiece.

u/jc726 · 5 pointsr/nintendo

This is what I'm buying: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Select-Memory-MB-ME128DA-AM/dp/B01DOB6YW4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1486395538&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+evo+select+128gb

For the price, this or something comparable is about the best you'll find. Good speeds, versatile, resistant to common failures, etc.

I've had a smaller one for my New 3DS XL and its been great.

You're going to want to stick with reliable names like SanDisk and Samsung, don't just get a generic card without a brand name or one you don't recognize.

As for size, it depends on what you're willing to spend and how many digital games you plan to buy. A 128GB will last you a while if you're splitting between physical and digital games like I am, possibly for the life of the system if you plan it out right.

Going digital-only will likely require something larger - but they only go up to 256GB right now, and those cards are incredibly expensive compared to 128GB.

amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch 2017 (2-Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3ASPNV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ic7lzbE7WMQ84

This one. I absolutely love it! One thing to mention though, the protector is a little thick. You'll feel the friction taking it in and out of the dock, but obviously plastic is MUCH softer than glass so it's not gonna scratch it. Really it just makes the switch fit snug. Though reviewers are saying it makes no difference, or they're getting friction as I am, so that probably shows how the docks have been made inconsistently. But like I said, the protector will keep the dock from scratching your screen anyway.

If you don't want to get a classic controller, you can get this: http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Nintendo-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii/dp/B00BS520SG

But it may be better to wait for the official Gamecube controller adapter that will be released for Super Smash Bros.

u/sekazi · 2 pointsr/nintendo

It is about $16 or $17 for a real SNES controller and even then you will have to clean them unless you like a gunked up controller. Where did you find two real SNES controllers plus USB adapters for $30? This is the only wired USB SNES Controller I recommend to anybody. The rest of the controllers are either the ones I mentioned above or made by 8bitdo.

Don't forget that Mayflash sells an adapter that plugs into a Wiimote and ports to a GC controller. This way is not effective for SM4SH because it uses two controllers per person, but for single player games, it's great.

Ouch. Save up until you can afford the repair fee, then invest in a set of $8 tempered glass screen protectors, then rest easy knowing you won't have to pay another $99 to repair something that could have been prevented with an $8 investment...

Hopefully you still have the receipt. I'd return it, or else at least have the retailer you bought it from price match.

I recommend the Samsung EVO 128GB.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DOB6YW4/ref=twister_B01G67VV6C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It has an excellent read speed, and happens to be the card that Nintendo Treehouse used in their Switch during the unboxing video.

u/xaroar · 1 pointr/nintendo

This one?

The one that got deleted was this one but people who pre-ordered with it had it changed to the one above, meaning they're likely to be honored. praying

u/kingmikel7 · 2 pointsr/nintendo

Thank you guys! Y'all answered my question within seconds!! One more question, I'm looking at these two cards and I want to see which you'd recommend and if there are any differences between the two.

Like others have mentioned there is no way to charge the Switch while on a kickstand; however, short of crafting one for yourself, I found and preordered a nifty stand that has adjustable levels and plenty of room for the charger. Hope this helps anyone

If you have the extra money i'd just be safe and pick up a 128 gig sd if you see one on sale before then. You can grab one for like 30 USD, and that will last you through the year most likely.


Even regular price they are "only" 40 dollars https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-microSDXC-Standard-Packaging-SDSQUNC-128G-GN6MA/dp/B010Q57S62/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484889194&sr=8-1&keywords=128gb+micro+sd

17 dollars well spent. It works excellently. Only downside is the amount of cords. If you have any questions about it let me know.

u/Teggert · 2 pointsr/nintendo

Nintendo's officially licensed black carrying case (the $20 one, not the $12 one) feels by far the sturdiest when compared in person to even the Zelda variations of the same design. The zippered pouch is very useful and it comes with storage cases for 8 cartridges. The messenger bag is terrific if you need to bring the dock and absolutely everything, but for just the console, games, and charging cable, I find the $20 one most convenient.

EDIT: I just noticed Amazon has this one listed for $25, however my local Walmart has them for $18.

u/Gr8NonSequitur · 1 pointr/nintendo

> And I'm not just picking on Nintendo here. My xbox one lost two fifths of its space to the OS, Halo 5, and the MCC alone. Their 500GB HDD just isn't enough for their first party, AAA games.

Holy Shit yeah, but they are the outliers. Between Halo 1-4 (MCC), Halo 5 and Gears of War 4 (and the OS) I doubt you'd have any room on a 500 GB model, but XBone is it's own counterpoint... as I have some 50 games installed on mine (like all 360 BC games are 8 GB or less) on that same drive (and the space hogs on an external).

Now let's compare this with Wii U games that were all "constrained" by the optical drive's 25 GB capacity:

  • MK8 on Wii U was under 5 GB, or just about 6 GB with all DLC. I doubt MK8 Deluxe will be much larger.

  • Super Mario 3D World, Zelda: WW HD, NSMBU were all under 2 GB each.

  • Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was 11.5 GB....

  • Lego City Undercover was 22 GB.

  • Xenoblade Chronicles was ~ 24 GB.


    Personally I'm Thrilled Nintendo didn't pop a 200 GB flash memory in there and jack up the cost for the system. The fact that I can upgrade via non-proprietary and inexpensive micro sdxc cards is a huge win. I personally plan on popping in a 128 GB card for $40 and despite it not being enough to have Halo 1-5 on an Xbox One I'm sure 150 GB of space for digital downloads will last a long long time for Nintendo.

I ended up preordering [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS7AI9G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It's simple and while it has the little patch on it, it doesn't exactly scream, "HEY EVERYONE I HAVE A NINTENDO SWITCH IN HERE". I honestly can't wait to travel on a plane with the Switch.

I bought this Nintendo Switch Case and it carries up to 8 games with it plus two SD card cases that would each fill in one of those 8 game slots. Very nifty!

I rarely take my 3DS with me at all. But when bringing my games along, I had a separate case for that one too.

u/gamerfather · 10 pointsr/nintendo

Are you going to lay it flat on a table in front of you? There's no stand to keep it upright. You'll be hunched over the screen just so you can see.

I mean, you do you, but if ergonomics are the issue, you're much better off buying an asymmetrical grip.

u/EnduranceProtocol · 5 pointsr/nintendo

Unfortunately no. Wii games are played in the WiiU's Wii mode, which is basically Wii hardware. The Gamepad simply shuts.

You can use the Wii Classic Controller (Pro). There are 3rd party Wii to Gamecube controller adapters such as this one, if you're interested in that, although I can't vouch for any brand or if they're even reliable at all, as I've never experienced any.

u/MegaHaxorus · 2 pointsr/nintendo

That won't work on Wii U, as that adapter replicates a GameCube controller. GameCube controllers are only compatible with Smash 4 and certain vWii homebrew titles.

You could use one of these to use a GameCube controller.

that package is a ripoff... you can buy the parts separately from Anker and its $10 cheaper...and you get a second usb-C cable.

and if you don't want the extra USB-C cable you can save another $10 by getting the wall adapter w/o the cable.

I use [AmFilm] (https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Tempered-Screen-Protector-Nintendo/dp/B01N3ASPNV). It fits nicely over the Switch's screen and is only $9 for a pack of 2.

u/Treadwell_CRB · 4 pointsr/nintendo

I ordered the RDS travel case:

https://www.amazon.com/Industries-Nintendo-Switch-Traveler-Deluxe-Travel/dp/B01MY9JB2U

The reason is simple. I travel quite a bit for work. I am going to toss this in my backpack and slog it thru the airport. It seems to be a little thicker and provide a little more protection than other ones.

And it looks nice.

u/Hudbus · 4 pointsr/nintendo

Take a look at this.

That's really the only way to get official GC controllers to work with all Wii U titles that support the Classic Controller.

The overhyped adapter only works with Smash Bros. for some (possibly marketing related) reason.

u/rakadur · 1 pointr/nintendo

To everyone looking to Amazon for pre-orders/early release, what's being sold might not be the actual console. Check the Edition and Description before buying it.

$300 NES Classic Controller, it comes up as the default product when looking to buy the console because the console is not available yet. Don't be fooled, wait until 2pm PST when the console becomes available.

u/00420 · 1 pointr/nintendo

Don't bother, the article doesn't really have much info other than links to product pages at various retailers that the author thinks will be offering pre-orders soon.

Here's the list (which most of us probably already have bookmarks for already anyways): Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, GameStop. He doesn't have a link to Toys R Us because they don't have a product page yet.

I found this one on Amazon US.
There's another one that is grey with Nintendo Switch written on it, but it doesn't contain the earbuds, the joy-con rubber covers and the stick grips.

u/GuyYouKnowFrmNowhere · 1 pointr/nintendo

WHILE ITS NOT PERFECT, SINCE THE SWITCH USES USB-C TO CHARGE YOU CAN BUY A BIG ASS USB-C BATTERY PACK AND IT'LL LET YOU PLAY FOR 3-4 TIMES LONGER THIS WILL CHARGE THE SWITCH 4 TIMES OVER
AND SINCE USB C IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR, YOU CAN BET THE PRICE ON THESE THINGS WILL KEEP DROPPING.

u/aunaste · 2 pointsr/nintendo

I have a one of these, http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Nintendo-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Wii/dp/B00BS520SG
It works just fine, the tricky part is remembering to press the start button multiple times for + and - on the classic controller.

u/Lumas202 · 0 pointsr/nintendo

Depending on what you are using it for, this might help. It connects a Gamecube controller to a Wiimote. The system recignizes it as being a Classic Controller. It works for Wii and Wii U games.

Also, you could always use the Nintendo Switch Playstand to have the Switch screen stand in vertical mode.

u/sonic260 · 3 pointsr/nintendo

Then just buy an SD card. A Nintendo switch is $300 and a 128gb micro SD card is $40, totalling to $340. An iPhone 7 plus with the same capacity is $750. You're already paying less than half the cost of an iPhone for the same capacity.

If you want more than 32GB, then just go get more.

EDIT: Edit, sorry, regular iPhone 7, not plus. The plus adds an extra $100 for its price, but still way more expensive than a Switch + Micro SD.

u/hypermog · 1 pointr/nintendo

And seriously, just buy a screen protector. Even if your dock is actually scratch prone, it isn't going to do anything to tempered glass.

Use the official Nintendo store version. Mine was at MSRP at a time when people were talking about how difficult it was to find one. I didn't pre-order, and had it within two days of placing the order (although that was likely a shipping fluke).
