SNES custom plates for Switch

Heya everyone!

Since a lot of you liked our previous retro Switch dock cases, we made a new one - this time inspired by the 16BIT era of SNES (US version).

It’s a case for the original Switch dock (fits both Switch 1 & 2) that transforms it into a classic SNES-style console.

We designed it to be completely safe for the dock: proper vent cutouts, hollow base for airflow, and a tuned slot so you won’t scratch your Switch when docking.

There’s also a fun Easter egg - a magnetic 6-slot game case that looks like an SNES cartridge and docks into the slot just like the real thing.

We were lucky to get loads of useful feedback on our previous retro cases - used that to refine this one and make it as cool as possible!

Thank you for your kind words and support!

Thought I'd share this cool detail I found in the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Demo

So I decided to do some language changes in the Tomodachi Life demo. I tried to see what would happen if I changed the language to Japanese.

So in the Japanese version, there are multiple ways one can refer to themselves (I recommend the Japanese pronouns article from Legends of Localization if you're interested in this topic). As such, the game reserves a special screen where you can input your preferred way, or use one of the nine presets, such as watashi, ore, boku, watakushi, and so on.

Anything that was written with non-Japanese characters will not break. The game will try to pronounce them as best as it can, but changing how it is pronounced is as easy as tapping the lips button, where it even says that here you should type the word in either Hiragana and Katakana, so the TTS can know how it sounds.

But then, I swapped the language back to English and was greeted with this neat pop-up. It basically informed me that due to the language change, the game had to default certain Mii pronouns based on their gender, but it tells you that if this caused something to be incorrect, to just go into the Edit Mii screen and make those adjustments as needed.

This is AN INSANE attention to detail, and as a fellow polyglot, I love what Nintendo has done to this game.

Just finished Super Mario Bros Wonder, and it was fantastic!!

This is without a doubt one of the best 2D Mario games I've ever played. The wonder flower powers were truly a fresh take for the series and I would always be surprised in what happened next. I'm ashamed that It took me this long just to pick up a copy. Even though I saw the end credits, I'm not 100 % done. I've still got some courses to finish and wonder seeds to find.

My Nintendo is glowing orange

When I woke up this morning it scared me because I thought someone was in my room with a flashlight. I got this in either 2016 or 2017 so it's almost a decade so idk if its from old age or if there's just something wrong with it. I've tried pressing all the buttons and putting in and out of the case but nothing has happened. Is this fixable or do I need to get a new one?

Is the Switch 2 Pro Controller compatible with anything besides the Switch 2?

When connecting via Bluetooth. I know that wired play works on Steam.

I got a used Switch 2 that included a controller and some games. The console is for my wife and she only plays in handheld so I was hoping to be able to use the controller on Windows. So far, it doesn't look like it works on anything except Switch 2. I've tried connecting it to:

Steamdeck

Windows

Switch 1

No dice on any of those. Not being able to connect it to my Switch 1 was really what threw me through a loop. I thought Nintendo would at least build in compatibility for that.

Anybody know if there's some custom drivers for Linux/Windows that will let this thing connect?

Are laggy games better?

There are some games that due to switch 1 power limitations are a bit laggy on the menus and in some parts.

This can be a bit annoying sometimes. I have found that in some games for example F1 Manager.

Because the switch 2 has better performance, are this issues fixed? Does this games run better without all that lag?

Git scammed from Gameseal?

Hi everyone, I just bought a three-month Nintendo Switch key online from gamseal.com .

I waited about 10 minutes for the code to arrive, and once I received it, it said I'd get three months, but when I went to redeem it, I only got 10 days. What do you think I should do? I've already sent an email asking for a refund, but they haven't responded yet. Is this a scam or is it just a mistake that can happen?

Can you help me choose a good Nintendo game?

Last year I had a crisis, which led me to distance myself from the gaming world. I had reached the point where simply losing made me frustrated.

Lately, I've been able to get back into the world of video games thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2. I've played titles like Dokey Kong Bananza, Zelda: Thears of the kindom and breath of the wild, and Mario odissey. I've decided to try out the Switch exclusives I've missed over the years. I'm currently playing the Mario and the Rabbits collaboration games.

During the crisis period I also played games like Xenoblade 1 and 2, I really liked them but towards the end they proved too challenging so much so that I abandoned the second title.

I don't know what to play, I was thinking about Mario & Luigi Brotherhood since my first video game ever was Mario & Luigi Brothers in Time, but I don't know if that's the right title, or I was considering Paper Mario the Thousand-Year Door, but I know very little about the title.

I'm also curious about Mario Wonder, but I don't know about Mario Odyssey, I've never been a fan of 2D and 3D platformers.

Voice Chat, Switch 1 with Switch 2

Hey Gang,

Hoping for some wisdom here. The girlfriend and I play games one or two nights a week. Usually couch co-op on my Switch 2. She is moving away for a work contract for a couple months and we want to keep playing together.

We tried setting things up last night and realized that switch 1 does not have gamechat.

Any reccomendations for an easy setup here? I play on a monitor anyways and could just run a line in to my desktop and have discord/whatsapp going. She would need something for a couch setup with the switch docked.

Headset that can run wireless and bluetooth at the same time? Or wireless / 3.5mm? Not sure the move.

Thanks :)

Physical games vs digital

I want to buy Tomodachi Life new game, but I don't know if I should go with the physical or digital version. I don't own any physical switch games because I buy them when they're on sale but the physical version on a local store website is 10€ cheaper and I was thinking about getting that, is there any difference between getting a physical game or digital one besides the price??

Worth the switch from OLED to Switch 2 for Pokemon games?

Hi! Pretty much trying to have some insight into my situation. My current gaming device ecosystem has: Nintendo Ds, Nintendo 3Ds, Wii PS5, Lenovo Legion 7i Laptop and my Nintendo OLED. My OLED is working perfectly fine and is docked about 90% of the time. I pretty much only use the Nintendo devices for the Pokemon franchise. I don't play Zelda or anything Mario related.

I am currently wondering if the Switch 2 would be worth it, considering that I currently can't play Pokopia (which I am still unsure if I am missing out on much) and how I want to be able to play Pokemon Wind/Wave. Is it worth it to get it now? Should I wait for a pokemon special edition? I feel like the wait for a OLED 2 would be too long.

TIA!

Nintendo Switch Error Code: 2101-0001

Hey guys! I haven’t used my switch in years and yesterday I tried to charge it to star playing some games it turned on. It was working fine, then I shut it down and a couple of hours later I got the Error Code: 2101-0001 message on my screen when I tried to turn it on.

From the information that I gathered it looks like is a hardware thing and I’ll have to pay $100 on my local to get it fix or try to fix it myself. Not gonna lie I don’t feel like paying that much for a console I don’t use that often, so I’ll like to know how difficult will it be to fix it my self and what specific tool do I need?

I’ll appreciate the help guys.
