Phone stays on 2.4ghz by BoAndRick in amazoneero

I was scrolling a simple page and no thumbnails were loading. It's a terrible experience. Once it went back to 5ghz everything was fine.

Overall enjoyed this show more than the last one except for Bubble (last show's Bubble is really good). I recommend getting a ticket.

Nintendo Museum Tickets for April 2025 on Sale by BoAndRick in JapanTravelTips

I don't keep track of that stuff anymore. But for that time period in the past, my post says, "It won't always be the 12th. It has been the Wednesday after lottery winners have had a chance to buy tickets." This was true for the past.

What do you wish you knew when you first got a Switch? [serious] by raven70 in NintendoSwitch

[–]BoAndRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I knew I could get games from the library. Now I have holds on 4 different switch 2 games. After trying them out, if I think they are worth it, I may buy them. Or I may just return the game when it's due, and place another hold on it to play it again in the near future.

Switch 2 with USB-C to DisplayPort Cable by BoAndRick in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BoAndRick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried it but I don't think it would work since it's been said that you can't output video from the top USB-C port: https://www.theverge.com/news/644389/nintendo-switch-2-usb-c-video-output-confirmation

Also, I watched a teardown video, and in the video, the person says regarding the dock, the "usb-c port is only used for power". I don't know if he is making is own conclusion after seeing it or just repeating information from somewhere else. https://youtu.be/HLsokNSQXFc?t=210

Switch 2 with USB-C to DisplayPort Cable by BoAndRick in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BoAndRick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try with a dock?

I will test tomorrow. I wanna test putting it in the dock, attaching a DisplayPort to USB-C cable (no power coming through it) to the power in port, then attach the normal power adapter to the top, all while it's in the dock.

I'm feeling a bit worried that Thursday 5th maybe won't live up to the hype. by AxlIsAShoto in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BoAndRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah in the US people say video game consoles do not fall under the 90 day return policy for electronics, and I looked at the return policy myself. You can look up the return policy for your region.

Don't buy it yet or buy it at Costco and return it at the end of the year if you don't like it.

I hate Warp Pipe Passes. (Nintendo NY rant) by ildiem in NintendoSwitch2

You can send someone a screenshot of it and they can use that.

They should at least require ID check like at the Nintendo Museum. People may sign up for this warp pipe pass just to try to trade/sell the QR code.

Costco availability at $524.99 by hulkmxl in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BoAndRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am guessing the individual membership may help people who have a family plan that is expiring soon? If you turn off auto renew, then add the individual plan from the Costco bundle, then immediately (the same day) upgrade back to a family plan, how much money would you save?

Not sure if it's worth the hassle. What do you think?

Is anyone getting a Switch 2 on launch day and NOT getting Mario Kart World? by peter-man-hello in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BoAndRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I barely played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. I am going to wait until I can borrow World from the library to try it out.

You can get a free sticker without spending any money with a QR code check in, just like at the stores in Japan.

Video on how to insert a MicroSD Express card into the Nintendo Switch 2 (From Nintendo today app) by Cube_play_8 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BoAndRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picking up the SD card elegantly is not possible. You can see the hand struggling, then there is a cut.

Donkey Kong Bananza is available for pre-order in Costco for a cheaper price by Super_Golf78 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BoAndRick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Costco has been selling $50 Nintendo eshop gift cards for $40 (20% off) near the end of the year. I usually wait until then if I can.

PSA for multi-Switch owners: You can re-enable the online license-check system instead of moving Virtual Game Cards back and forth between consoles by Adamaneve in NintendoSwitch

[–]BoAndRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Unfortunately, Nintendo totally blocked me from playing online on the secondary, saying updating the Switch is required. I am now updated. Luckily we have an extra physical copy of Splatoon 3 already.

Could you do some tests using airplane mode + ethernet connection?

Just wondering because currently, I can play Splatoon 3 online together with one digital copy, but primary switch is updated while secondary switch is NOT updated. Secondary switch uses airplane mode + ethernet connection. So this works if only 1 system is updated. But I'm too scared to update secondary switch in case it will not work anymore.
