They always discount games for Prime members? I honestly had no idea.

Yeah it's 20% within a week of release I believe. But for sure 20%.

shite. I was there at 11:30. I thought about going by there earlier in the day but for whatever reason decided not to.

Since it worked out for me (and has already been mentioned in this thread), I thought that I would reiterate the fact that Target briefly made available units for sale (with free shipping) on their website yesterday. It wouldn't hurt to periodically check throughout the day.

I splurged for quick shipping ($11) and it should arrive tomorrow evening. The first time someone mentioned it on here, I went on the website, saw that 1 was available, but by the time I created an account on the site it was gone. I checked about 30 minutes later and another one appeared and I was able to snatch it up.

I just missed some at Toys R Us on Sunday morning. I think you should be able to find some within a few days at either Target or Toys R Us. Just keep checking.

Are the supposed joycon issues enough to hold off on buying?

I haven't had any problems save for one time it lagged while I was slouched and pointing the joypad at the ground from 15 ft.

however, it's cleary happening to a lot of people, but if you're one of the ones who has no interest in using the joycons as your tv controller and are getting a pro controller, it's nothing that should concern you

in tabletop mode, you're sitting close to the screen and in handheld mode they're connected to the tablet.

it sounds like there are some early adopter hiccups.

Depends on where you going to be playing. If you're never gonna be further than 6ft from the console you shouldnt have any issues at all. I had issues the first day but after the update and restarting i haven't had issues since

Question:

I hardwired my Switch dock with a USB to RJ45. So tested the 2 extrenal ports against the 1 internal port. I'm getting about a 20MBPs increase using the 2 external ports compared to the 1 internal port.

Are the 2 external ports USB 3.0 and internal only 2.0? Can't find confirmation of this online.

iirc, the software side doesn't even support usb 3.0 yet. Think all the ports are 3.0 capable, but a future update will be needed to utilize them.

It turns out that the USB port inside the dock’s back cover is not actually a USB 3.0 port at the moment — Nintendo says that it “[plans] to support USB 3.0 in future updates.”

Yeah nice update today.

Metal Slug would be great on the go, and this might be the 3rd or 4th time I own KoF 98
