    The year is 2092, GameRanx is a multi-billion dollar corporation; All 2017 employees are dead except for one Andrew. He is now the CEO of the company. All others must bow before him. But everybody refuses to call him anything but Andrew the new guy

    Tip #0: If you have a A/V Receiver(at least a 5.1 one), set the audio to Surround. That way, you have a good audio. And connect the Switch to the GAME or CBL/SAT ports on the Receiver. Also, the turn on signal gets received by the receiver, which changes to the port the Switch is connected to, this is called CEC, which is a feature even PC GPUs should have by now(and surprisingly, DON'T HAVE).
    The TV turning on when the switch sometimes is in sleep mode is CEC too.

    Even when the Nintendo Switch is docked, you can still plug into the headphone jack and it will automatically switch the sound source from the HDMI to the audio jack of the console. Plus, you can also adjust the volume via the quick menu. So if you plan to use a Bluetooth headphones with the console, a Bluetooth audio transmitter is a good addition for the Nintendo Switch.

    Nintendo switch online currently supports cloud back up of save files as well as there is an option to transfer your data from one Nintendo switch to the other. It would be incredibly silly if Nintendo didn’t let you transfer your stuff between consoles. That would very much be a deal breaker for me. In addition to the cost of a replacement console I am not sure I would be ok with dropping another 700 hours into botw or something like that.

      As the Switch is a Bluetooth master, it probably can connect to several devices, like two Joycons.
      It's not an official feature but this could be a really useful Homebrew application, just like savegame ex-/importing. Hackers just gave a talk on hacking it at 34c3 in Germany. To sum it up, Nintendo fucked up again, but left more room to correct it. However, Homebrew is on its way...

    The console wars is honestly stupid. Every console has a different purpose, but people treat them like worse version of the same thing. Example: If you want competitive online games, A switch would be a really bad idea. But if you wanted to play video games at a party and used a PC as your console, it would be a bad choice.

      @Yaj8552 6 років тому +39

      PC isn't considered a gaming console. And if you want to include it in the console wars then PC kicks butt in every category. Remember when console gamers were using "can't see above 30fps" and "we don't need 4k"? Well now all the console gamers want 60fps and 4k when PC already had that years ago. In addition, we have free online, cheap steam sales with AAA games becoming sub $20 in a year, and emulators for pretty much every console up to the previous generation. PS/Xbox users just try to justify their decisions whenever PC is brought up in the console wars.

    • @ColeWithAGoal
      @ColeWithAGoal 7 років тому +15

      Well, there are two lines of some foam like material to help prevent the switch from making direct contact with the hard plastic of the dock. But it's poorly positioned and doesn't do much... Also, having that thin layer of felt may contribute to encasing heat given off from the switch, helping it overheat, could be why they didn't go with it?

    Have you ever wanted to restart breath of the wild but don't want to get rid of your save? Well just make a new switch profile it takes like 2 mins and can restart breath or any other game when you open a game it asks what profile you want to start the game with. choose your second profile and bam new game and if you want to play your first save close the game and choose your main profile. Hope I could help.

    Great video brother. Found some amazing things I definitely did not know before. Thanks. I do have one thing to add however. Something I did not know right away anyway. Undocked and in sleep mode my battery runs down blazingly fast. It took me a while until I learned you can hold down the power button at the top for 5 seconds and get a menu to fully shut down the console. That saves the battery.

    A statue of a man and a statue of a woman stood looking at each other for hundreds of years out in a park. One day a wizard, feeling sorry for the statues, brought them to life for 30 minutes. Right away, the two of them ran into some nearby bushes and you could hear all kinds of strange sounds and moans from there. After a while they came back out, giggling. The wizard told them "You have another 15 minutes left, if you want to have another go." The statues looked at each other and the male statue answered "Fine, but this time you hold the pidgeon and i'll shit on it."

    When we were putting on the strap for the first joycon it was easy. The second one wouldn't connect. This was before we had any idea there was a lock button and Nintendo didn't mention this in any instructions. Then my girlfriend was like, "You just gotta force it in." And I was like, "Pretty sure nah." and she was like, "No, look!" and JAMMED IT IN the joycon. It kinda hurt my feelings.
    Now when I connect the joycon to the switch to play portable it's all wobbly and shit. So annoying.

    I recently bought a Switch and was getting ready to return it when I saw a video that said no Bluetooth headphone support. Luckily that was patched years ago now. I solved the problem of the dock potentially scratching the screen by putting two small pieces of athletic tape (cloth tape) on the little raised places on the dock. Also kudos to Dbrand. It just goes to show how good of a company they really are. They didn't have to say anything but they chose to.

    Auto Brightness I dont know about Switch specifically because I dont have one and played not too much portably, but in many phones, it actually consumes more battery than setting the brightness you need because the lighting sensor/camera has to be turned on constantly. People think auto Brightness is meant to save battery but no, it is just to not surprise you with a shining screen right after you turn on the device.

      I'm already considering it, but it's hard to find a good review that actually gives detailed information about the sticks. They usually say "They feel great" and nothing else
      Also, I think it doesn't have rumble support

    • @GuyInDogSuit
      @GuyInDogSuit 6 років тому +5

      No, it doesn't. No HD rumble, no NFC support, and the controller overall feels kind of weird. I bought one and promptly returned it the next day.
      I later got one from GameWill on Amazon and I like it so far. It even has turbo, though I haven't really used it. Though it's the same as the Hori controller, no rumble and no NFC amiibo support. It's a decent one though, even works with PC, I think.

      Edit: wait no, I don’t use skins. I use a protective shell. It’s cheap and good for you switch:)

      Me neither but I wanted to see if it has a Easter like the gamecube.
      Example hold the Z button on your controller as the console power up and it will do a toy jingle instead of a normal GameCube jingle and do it with four controllers a puppy jingle will replace it

    Install the parent control app, it'll record all that stuff :3

      It's also never been advisable in the history of electronics to look for a higher voltage power source. It's also idiotic to recommend finding a battery back up that's higher than 15V. The fellows at this channel just don't have a clue how any of it works.

    • @alexatkin
      @alexatkin 7 років тому +1

      Agreed. What you need a USB-C charger that supports USB Power Delivery, a specific technology that switches to higher voltages only with compatible devices.
      I am yet to find a power bank that supports that though.

    I recently bought the nintendo switch and I am confused. Am I suppose to leave the Nintendo switch console on the dock while charging and once it is charged do I leave the console (turned off) on the dock still with the AC adapter connected? Is it safe to leave the switch connected to the AC adapter? Does the nintendo switch suppose to stay in sleep mode all the time?

    • @gc7396
      @gc7396 6 років тому +26

      Yes, it's safe.

    • @AttractionSpot
      @AttractionSpot 6 років тому +12

      You can charge the Switch in the dock or just plug the USB C charger directly into the Switch. That's what I do when traveling. I also have my switch in sleep mode or what you call standby mode while in the dock and it's fine.

    • @GuyInDogSuit
      @GuyInDogSuit 6 років тому +4

      Yes. It's just like any other console that sits in "standby." It's in a low-power mode that serves as a quick start when you turn it "on."
