Well I'd argue he's doing it more for game preservation purposes than for clout, if that makes you feel any better. All the consoles and SD cards the games are downloaded on are getting donated to https://gamehistory....

So, I tried NSO Gameboy Tetris multiplayer...
It was really choppy online. I can't imagine the original gameboy cable transferred much data, but that amount of lag and rollback stuff was just awful.
I then tried it with local wireless in the same room as the other switch, and while it was better there was still some noticeable stuttering here and there.
Anyone else have issues with it?

Anyone playing the Return to Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells? I just recently started playing Dead Cells again since it initially launched on Switch. Just played through DLCs (Fatal Falls, The Bad Seed, Rise of the Giants, The Queen and the Sea) in the last few days. Probably gonna pickup the Castlevania DLC tonight and play it. I forget how awesome this game is and how it continues to be supported. Switch performance is pretty abysmal now through when talking about load times.

So I’m charging my Switch via cable, not the dock. When I put it down last night, it was very low battery, so I imagine putting it down without powering it all the way off (just to sleep) drained the rest of the battery.
But now when I’m charging it, the screen stays on (black) with the little charging icon up in the left hand corner. Am I crazy or does the screen usually go to sleep while charging if you don’t touch it? Or is it normal for the screen to stay on to show you the indicator when plugged in as opposed to docked?
Little bit worried that my Switch may have crap the bed. It does SAY it’s charging, but I feel like the screen staying on would only work against it charging properly.

Whenever charging, regardless of method, the little battery indicator will be on.

@theJaw I saw your post yesterday and was going to say it should go away when charging, but Anxious seemed pretty confident so I figured I was wrong. But I plugged my Switch in to charge just now and the charging indicator did go away after a couple seconds like I thought. It's in sleep mode though, not shut down completely. Maybe if the Switch is completely off, then the indicator stays? I'd test it but I have a game suspended right now.

I believe the indicator stays until the Switch has enough power that it can be powered on. In the case where a Switch's battery is completely drained, it could stay on for a while, especially if it's getting charged by a lower watt charger.

When I plug my switch OLED back up. Say I have 97%. Say the screen is off, the system is in sleep mode. When I plug it in the switch immediately "wakes up" to show the screen, then the charging icon shows on the top left. I like it that way because it confirms for me my plug made a successful connection. But I always push the power button on the top right to turn the screen back off. You should be able to turn the screen off if you want to.

Last year I had something similar happen were I was playing until really low battery. I then plugged it it to keep playing via cable and it appeared to just die. It seemed I could charge it but couldn't turn it on. I thought it was toast, but found some video online and tried what they said and was able to get it back. I think what worked for me was doing something with the power button, I'd need to look it up. If it comes to it just be sure you pull the memory card as it will delete the contents. You will also need to redownload game patches. But at least you can use it again.

It’s no worries now. After about a half hour it just popped back on. I had just never realized that the blank screen stays on while charging if it’s completely drained. Like Scott mentioned, usually when it’s low and I plug it in, it pops up for a second but then the screen goes to sleep, so I just got a little worried.

I think you hold the power button and down volume button to access a hidden menu where you're given a few options including factory reset.

I like the look of the kickstarter game better than the new reboot look. Something about turning the maps into a board game is really off-putting to me. It's the exact same game, but now instead of commanding an army you're playing Risk. Hopefully they offer a different view or classic graphics.

Yah I sorta vastly prefer the look of the original GBA Advance Wars to the remake. Half the drawing power of that game, for me, were the simple sprites.

Loving Octopath Traveler II. Started with Partitio. Played his first Chapter, then played Hikari’s first chapter after I found him. I like the route of my story so far. The “main” character (or, my main character) comes from the more humble, small beginnings and sets out on a grand adventure. Then like all those classic adventure anime shows, meets up with vastly more “interesting” characters with stories that exist on a far larger scale.
Pretty neat. Looking forward to what else is to come.
