By the way since the Switch charging port is located on the bottom, how can it stand on a table while being charged? |
Play it as a handheld or buy a stand

Well. Microsoft could bundle a play and charge kit with every controller. That would be awesome, but still retain AA battery compatability, then it can make both camps happy, but I guess money/greed gets in the way of that.
It's also better for retro gamers, you know you can use the controller wirelessly in 20 years time as battery's sadly don't last forever.
| Hiku said: The problem with Xbox's solution for me is that they don't include a charger. So you have to buy an AA charger separately if you don't have one. Or buy new AA batteries every time, but I'd rather not do that. |
Indeed. That is the caveat. But to be able to hot swap batterys is still great in my eyes, no cables, no charge time, just swap and go.
I have a seperate AA battery charger, so once I swap the battery's out of my controller, they go onto charge, to be able to charge AA battery's while in the controller would be awesome, but I would assume they would eat into the controllers healthy profit margins.
There are Pro's and Con's to each approach, the irony is, it would be extremely *simple* to provide the best of both worlds, but no company does.

I don't care about voice chat, so none of this really matters to me. It's just $20 a year for online play and some games. Not bad.
I see why others are upset though. this is pretty nuts.

My point is that the power of the vita was a mini ps3... when the ps4 was coming out. The switch is a mini ps4 when the ps4 is at its prime (ps4 pro doesn't count) |
The Vita was released almost 2 years prior to the PS4.

My decision: Using Facetime to speak with friends and give a bad rating to the app. Unacceptable that this isn't integrated within the OS.

Now imagine if you need to charge Switch as well. That's another charger/usb cable on the top of it ... oh wait, you can't, because usb port is placed at the bottom. In that case, you need to dock the Switch and drag at least 2-3m mini jack cable across the living room and connect it to this contraption!
It's different, but not inherently bad imho. They just need to improve some aspects of it, like needing to keep your phone on at all times and the app active to be connected. Luckily this is just a beta.
Yeah, this whole thing is a disaster.I mean, it could be improved with time, in the sense that the app could become more intuitive and all, but its a sloopy solution.For one that already had a solution, mind you.
Personally that dosent affect me, since I never use voice chat, but yeah, horrenduous.
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
