Nintendo Switch - 10 Things Before Buying! #Helpful Post

your guys johnathan here and the inten

dose which has officially arrived but

before you go run out and scoop one of

these up here are 10 things to know so

for starters we're gonna kick this off

with a weird one because the cartridge

is so small about the size of an SD card

intend to actually Heisenberg the way to

prevent kids from ingesting this now

from what I've heard Nintendo applied a

layer of denatonium benzoate on the

cartridge and that's apparently one of

the most bitter tasting chemical

compounds on the face of this earth that

way if a kid sticks it in his mouth he's

gonna spit that out in the name of

science though it gets totally fair if I

test this out myself the question is

though do I lick it or do I completely

stick this in my mouth that is the

obvious answer that's nasty

no kids eating this for sure it's not

enough that was the best idea doing this

as the first fact oh I can't I don't

even know what it tastes like like my

mind's going did I lick a Sharpie huh

what is that face of water taste update

I'm getting a waft of nail-polish and

hats off to Nintendo for it being true I

guess because I don't think there's a

kid on the face of this earth or adult

for that matter that's kind of enjoy the

taste of that so next up number two is

the fact that game availability really

isn't that great at launch

you just got your switch you're excited

to play then you realize the only truly

major title available out launches

Legend of Zelda breath of the wild there

are smaller indie titles which are also

available on the ps4 and Xbox one but as

far as switch exclusive you really only

have a couple options one of them being

one to switch which essentially is a

group of party games currently as far as

major releases go you will need to

practice some patience Mario Kart 8

deluxe is slated for April

splatoon - in the summer NBA 2k in

September but if you're looking forward

to Super Mario Odyssey you're gonna have

to be extra patient because that is not

coming out until the holidays so next up

at number 3 jumping into some positivity

the system is super adaptable for

day-to-day life and I think by far one

of the coolest features about to switch

is how easy it is to switch between all

the different ways you can play you

could play around the house then hop on

the couch pants being optional you could

even maybe go outside and get some Sun

although I would say pants are probably

mandatory

that one and then when you're ready for

that TV action just pop it on the dock

and magic now it's not actually magical

what happens when you place a system

into the dock is that automatically ups

the system clock speeds which allows it

to output it in 1080p the switch also

features a built-in kickstand just in

case you want to dock it onto a desk or

hard surface then I emphasize hard

surface because the kickstand really

isn't that great so if you place it on a

soft surface it is guaranteed to fall

over there of course other accessories

that do a much better job with this so

if you like the idea that that is

probably the route you want to go and

the next step number four speaking of

accessories the pricing is insane so out

of the box the switch comes with two joy

con controllers those are those little

detachable handles one controller grip

which allows you to combine two of them

to make a more traditional controller

and then lastly some wrist strap

attachments that way you accidentally

throw a joy con out your window now this

is totally adequate for the

single-player games and some of the

simpler two-player games but if you want

anymore that you're going to need to

pony up each toy con is 50 bucks you can

however get them in a double pack for 80

but you will need to tack on an extra 15

bucks for the controller grip there's

also a pro controller option for 70

bucks you can see if you're buying this

for just yourself it really isn't that

big of a deal but if you've got a giant

household or a double D 50 amount of

kids this is going to do some serious

damage to your wallet so next up number

5 if we through pricing out the window

for a second with those accessories

there are so many ways to control the

games the simplest option you have is by

holding a pair of joy' cons one in each

hand where you just relax your arms and

use them independently this is

surprisingly comfortable and personally

my favorite way to play if however you

want something closer to a more

traditional controller you can attach

the enjoy cons to a copper grip but

you're gonna be disappointed because

honestly it feels worse the grip panels

themselves are super tiny not

particularly well shaped to the human

hand plus once you're used to using the

joy con separately it kind of feels like

you're taking a step back if however you

absolutely need that controller fill

you're much better off spending the

extra money and getting the switch pro

controller so next up number six talking

a little bit about game play in terms of

portable mode surprisingly it looks

really good in terms of specs switches

built-in screen is a 6.2 inch capacitive

multi-touch panel with a resolution of

720p

now I guarantee people are gonna hear

stuff

20p and lose their minds where's 1080

where's 4k what is this caveman crap but

the thing is the screen is so small in

terms of scale for its size it actually

looks incredible for comparison the PS

Vita is capped at 544 P could you

imagine inviting someone over and asked

if they wanted to watch a movie on your

544 P TV that ain't quad HD that is

quarter HD specs and resolution aside

though the backlight is great the colors

are even better and I'd even go as far

as saying the switch is at its best when

used in handheld mode now next up number

7 has a great as the graphics are

battery life is actually kind of a

concern the switch the battery life is

expected to be somewhere between 3 and 6

hours and you can actually expect closer

to that 3 hour range if you're playing

more demanding games like Legend of

Zelda alternatively you could remedy

this by plugging yourself into a wall

outlet but if you plan on being on the

go consistently that battery bank you

got to chug through those Pokemon Ghost

session isn't gonna hack it here you're

gonna need something way more powerful

with that said though if you are gonna

be that guy or girl on the go I'll post

some of the biggest baddest power

options down below and next up a

temporary if you are worried about

battery life one bright note with a

switch is auto sleep now with previous

Nintendo systems those would continue to

run until the battery was completely

drained so in the instance where your

system saying hey plug me and I'm about

to die and you ignored it you're gonna

lose all of your progress the switch

however features an emergency sleep mode

that way just in case the battery gets

to a critical point it's gonna

automatically put itself to sleep in

turn preventing itself from dying and

you losing your data

it's next up and I'm Ryan one really

important thing to consider is the fact

that the built-in storage on the switch

really isn't that much so for example

Legend of Zelda is 13 gigs so if you

were to download that instantly halfway

your storage is gone now well the switch

doesn't support USB thumb drives or USB

hard drives does feature an SDXC card

slot located beneath the kickstand

but again diving back to the fact that

the accessories are expensive and they

add up this is gonna be one more thing

you're gonna have to buy now last up at

number 10 one thing to consider is the

fact that online support really fully

hasn't arrived yet currently the only

thing you can do online is browse and

buy from the eShop or add a friend use

Nintendo's painfully outdated friend

code system now Nintendo has promised

more online features in the future

specifically with their companion

now but that is still a little ways away

so as of right now we're kind of in the

dark with that the good news is though

because you're essentially a guinea pig

right now everything is free but its

features Rolo and it becomes a little

more robust you can definitely expect to

pay a fee PS as a bonus fact for some

reason the switch charges a MacBook

seriously aside from that hopefully you

guys enjoyed the video if you did and

you appreciate me licking cartridges

make sure you drop a like and about that

giveaway you can find out more details
