Kevvy Metal Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I've turned mine totally off in the dock, and got it to turn on by holding the Home button on my Pro Controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nespresso Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 You cant turn your Switch completely off in docked mode. It simply goes to sleep. I turn it on with the Pro controller. Esports docking right there. D O C K E D B O Y Z (ok I'll stop now) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never found it much fuss to carry around the odd cart with me, especially as most cases have space for at least 2 spare. I suppose if you're the kind of player which flits constantly between lots of titles it may make some sense. But then again in my experience, most people play a limited range of titles in rotation. Each to their own though. Physical all the way for me. When it comes right down to it I just feel like I end up getting more value. And of course the Switch cases are lovely. Both of my cases have space for games. I'm physical all the way too but i can see the arguement for a game like Mario Kart to be digital as you can can jump in for a quick race without changing the cart in between playing Zelda. It's no hassle for me to swap the games as I don't change games very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the buttons? That sounds awful. Had a watch of Gamexplain's review which suggests the lack of d-pad significantly mars the experience and isn't even close to using the Pro controller. Really annoying. Vita version is cheaper and has proper handheld controls so I'll probably just get that. Pity because I'd rather be playing it on the Switch screen.

It drains very little though, mine is 97% after 24 hours, not sure if it was 100% before as I had put it into the dock earlier to charge but not sure if it had reached 100%. I've read people saying there's has discharged to 60%ish in their bag on the way to work which is odd. Perhaps if a game is left suspended it drains more?

ca18s13 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Undocked my Switch after a session of Mario Kart and the fan was super loud going crazy. I waited a little and it calmed down but i noticed when playing in handheld the Switch is getting quite warm. I don't know if the fan was loud when playing Zelda as i have always had the sound on but playing Mario Kart today with no sound and handheld i can hear the fan. Is this normal? Am i getting paranoid over nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I heard the fan in Mario Kart whilst in handheld mode - never heard it before! I didn't even realise it used the fan whilst undocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah. Why have my Joy-Cons been absolutely fine? We had four connected up last night with no issues whatsoever. I've tested one at least 10 feet away, even behind my back, and it's worked perfectly.

ca18s13 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Maybe the fan noise was always there just never noticed before. I need to play more and paranoid less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
