Nintendo Switch Essentials: What you need to get started

I know how it feels 😅

[@Glocktism]

I just got mine 2 weeks ago. Was searching for like 3 weeks cause of the shortage. Was bullshit but 45 minutes after GameStop opened I popped in with no hope of them having one and they had one left from that mornings delivery. Was very happy. Now I got like 7-10 games. Most physical copies

I can't agree on not getting a screen protector. A tempered glass one is certainly worth it.

[@Sancheeeeeez]

+1

[@WarMonkeyPlays]

I had a thin plastic one that came with the case that I got. The screen being plastic makes it *more* susceptible to scratches - and harder to fix without replacing it entirely. I don't agree at all about skipping out on a screen protector, but do recommend just going the cheap, easy to apply route.

[@WarMonkeyPlays]

Hansbald Um, exactly. Sorry if I'm a bit confused, but that's exactly what I recommended so I'm just not sure why you're responding to me.

[@gabrielsorag]

infectedA Exactly. I totally agree. You can get a two-pack of tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon for lower than $10 bucks. Worth it to me. Adds more safety and security to the console.

1. A game. 2. A screen protector 3. An SD card 64 gig or larger. To me, those are the day one purchases. Anything else can be bought later.

[@nusaybahansar9285]

Ok, so if you're going digital, then, you could download all three of them for around 35 to 36 gigs leaving you with about 12 gigs left, that is if you're including the Switch's internal storage. if you are just counting the 16 gig SD card, you're only gonna get about one game out of it, BOTW is about 15 gigs and Skyrim around 14, but Mario Odyssey is about 5 or so.

PSA: DO NOT buy the nyko dock, or any third party dock for that matter. A recent switch firmware update has resulting in lots of Nintendo switches getting bricked from using third party docks.

[@meftahicham]

IT might be because the docks dont use the nintendo charger

[@_kiyazz]

It’s because of f the code used the the usb-c protocol that Nintendo uses but fixing it would require fully recoding the switch

[@omidboushehri4972]

The way the switch functions makes is ask for different amounts of power while taking more than it need which 3rd party docks can’t control which leads it to brick

[@Syntherus]

I think you're insane for not having a durable case or a tempered glass screen protector for a $300 device. The screen is plastic, meaning it can scratch easily. A tempered glass screen protector will not only prevent scratching from having it out in the world but also prevent that rare dock scratching issue those dock covers were designed for. A durable case will prevent those Joycon that you claim we can just buy more of from breaking. Not everyone has $80 lying around to just buy another set. You don't have to walk into a dangerous environment to damage your Switch. Accidents happen. It's better to spend a couple extra bucks to protect your Switch than to not do so and end up having to spend large amounts of money you don't have to buy replacements.

My boyfriend bought me my switch for my birthday here in canada, and just the switch and a game came to about 500 dollars. He ended up spending 600 all together because he bought me wireless headphones as well. But yes, the money does add up when buying a console like that. The great thing is though that it can all be bought later when you decide you need it. I have my switch and the stuff it came with in box, and a game. I'm not going to get an SD card until more games that I want start coming out. As for a case, I've been looking but haven't found one yet, and I'm not really sure if i want to take it with me outside anyways. It just screams "steal me" to me, and I'm pretty protective over stuff that is worth a lot of money. Everything else just depends on your personal stuff. Controllers aren't needed if you're like me and only play it in portable mode. A case isn't needed if you don't plan to take it out. extra cables aren't needed unless you have pets who like to chew on them, or you think they'll get damaged in some way. It really just depends on you and what you plan to do with your switch.

[@SaiyakenPHOENIX]

Musica if you've listened to 2:10 to 2:18, maybe you'd understand that the screen is scratchable. Plastic scratching plastic.

[@marcywantsto7553]

a glass screen protector is great because plastic can't scratch glass so the dock won't hurt the screen

[@randompotato7932]

Banangananga nangass what of joycon drift

[@ethanhudson2009]

Ok the pro controller is really great but I could never disagree more with people who say that it is a necessity. The joy con grip has always worked fine for me and I have fat fingers. It’s isn’t essential. The pro controller is great but if you don’t have the money or don’t really care then don’t get it. If you plan on getting a second controller do get the pro controller not another set of joycons though.

[@Hayds126]

Ethan Hudson pro is definitely better but joy con does its job. The main reason why I would use it over the pro controller is that you can play more people

[@thejerkinator9064]

I stopped watching after he said a screen protector isn't needed. Whatever anyone says YOU NEED A SCREEN PROTECTOR

Most of the time he uses his switch in Doct Mode he almost never uses it when he's on the go

I am sureeeeee you stopped watching after that. Good one.

Meh, havent had any problems without one so far

[@Dioslux]

The Jerkinator had my switch for 3 months without one. dont know if thats long enough for scratches to develop but i'd just say take better care of your devices lol. it certainly doesnt hurt but it isn't mandatory

[@Henry-qt3py]

Sarah same, had mine for about 5-6 months now

[@7Write4This9Heart7]

I actually LOVE the Joycon grip! But then again, I have tiny, tiny, child-sized hands as a grown woman, LMAO, so I love that it's so tiny and light! My hands go numb after an hour playing the Switch handheld, so on the occasion I play on TV, the grip is a lifesaver! lol.

@Aramaru 1837 Why would someone get a screen protector? Why don't you take a guess?

[@ricardoraic8695]

@Aramaru 1837 the screen protector is for it not to scratch so easily, since it's plastic. With a glass screen protector it won't scratch when it's on the dock

[@Josiahcarter]

If you’re like me and like to keep your electronics protected then a tempered glass screen protector is necessary. I put one on the day I got mine and haven’t had to replace it. Also a nice cover for it from amazon to make it easier to handle in portable mode is a good idea.

[@idkt4533]

Josiah Carter how much was your screen protector?

[@tr3908]

I remember watching this video religiously before i got my switch

[@catherinemary2098]

[@goomix27]

And also a screen protector btw.

[@goomix27]

And also a SD card.

[@giladzxc17]

Sd card isn’t necessary unless you download all of your games. I for example buy physically all of my games that arent exclusively downloadable, and the internal storage is plenty enough for me.

[@newtlyme7820]

I got my case at 5 below. It's amazing! It has straps that hold the switch and 2 different pockets, one for the wire and the other for the games. Also it's durable too, I accidentally dropped it down a couple of flights of stairs (I was leaning over the edge at the mall while holding it.) And it only left a scratch! The only bad thing about it is that it holds onto fingerprints a bunch. I also got my joycon covers. They are soft and look really cool with the red and blue joycons and have little asses to hold onto and makes it really comfortable to play. All of this for 8 bucks is a pretty sweet deal

[@Seamoorif]

Not using a screen protector is sooo dumb.

[@thenintendoman]

I will add that USB 2.0 is still faster than a 2.4ghz wifi connection.

[@WulffDen]

I think that deserves an upgrade lol

[@Sancheeeeeez]

I bought a LAN adapter and you know... its not about speed but about stable connection. The WiFi in Switch is EXTREMELY poor. I have 1gigabit/sec at home and 300 mb/sec Wifi, but the maximum speed I got on Switch is 50mb/s during test but the downloading speed is still "jumping"...., so I use LAN adapter during downloading heavy digital games and it really saves A LOT of time.

[@TheMikero]

Yeah I use the LAN adapter I had on WiiU because the connection is at least more stable. That's very important in Splatoon.

[@PLAYwithGregg]

I've used N and A/C, 2 floors up from my router, never had a Drop in any game. Lot of people use cheap routers, and it matters. :)

[@Skeptisis]

Yeah get a better router lol, no issues at all with my wifi

[@miasestric9743]

Top 2 things I recommend: 1. carrying case (like he mentioned) 2. SCREEN PROTECTOR! Trust me on this it will save your life! I got a 3 pack of tempered glass ones on amazon for $8. It's totally worth it.

what? a screen protector is almost a necessity. the plastic screen will scratch on almost anything.

This is what we need - folders -wider screen -themes -internet browser - Netflix - no joycon drift - good eshop - and a great online services - more features. - powerful enough to run next gen games - good graphics

[@Polai010]

Folders: Yeah we do need them. Wider Screen: Isn’t 6.2 Inches Enough? Themes: Aren’t necessary but would be cool to have. Internet Browser: Why not use your laptop, Tablet or phone? Netflix: Just use your laptop, Tv, Tablet/Ipad or phone No Joycon Drift: Yeah that makes sense but I never found it to be a big problem. Good e shop: the Eshop is already good and a great online services: yeah they are still using p2p servers, even in 2022. more features: I don’t really know what you mean by “features” but more settings would be amazing. powerful enough to run next gen games: It already can run next gen games? good graphics: Bruh have you seen basically any 3D game on the Switch?

>"It's why don have or even recomend a screen protector" >"It's known to hurt itself [...] and can scratch the screen" So it's "resistant" to falls (by sacrificing one or both joy cons) but it hurts itself in it's confusion? Honestly I'm buying both a dock cover AND the screen protector!

Dza69 it's pretty great so far. You'll miss out on motion controls and NFC, but that doesn't bother me. Improves my aiming in DOOM and I could use it as an extra controller to play games that either need a pair of joy cons or a pro controller to play (games like Minecraft, when I play with my siblings). Otherwise great but for $17.

Some other more important essentials are 1. The switch 2. The Joy-cons 3. A charger 4. The dock 5. A tv And finally hands

[@Sancheeeeeez]

Hey! Greetings from Russian subscribers))) I am such a big Switch fan, that I bough tones of accessories from all over the world. Actually, there are cheaper dock station solutions. You can buy for $25 on Aliexpress HDMI adapter and charger that have enough power. I placed original dock in every room where I have TV, but for travels or when I visit friends with Switch, I take HDMI adapter, what is much more ergonomic and save plenty of space. At my opinion, the best solution for portable gaming and not to be out of battery is SwitchCharger that you can order on indiegogo. I still didn't get mine but its already "in a process". Right now, during very long flight, I use original stand +power bank +cable, what is good but absolutely not comfortable.
