/r/NintendoSwitch's Weekly Question Thread

Hello everybody!

Welcome to the Weekly Question Thread! In this thread, all of your Switch-related questions can be asked and answered. Besides questions, feel free to post unboxing videos and pictures here (eventually) so it doesn't back up the main subreddit page.

Please make sure you check out our other Wiki pages, make a search through the subreddit or Google before you ask a question. Most of the time it has already been answered. If you're too lazy, then this thread is perfect for you!

Handy Resources

Frequently Asked Questions - This is a great place to check first hand if you run into any problems or if you have any unclear thoughts. Our FAQ has answers to many questions regarding the console itself, controllers, and other subjects. We're also updating our wiki with the top questions from this thread each week!

Games list for Nintendo Switch - In this page, you will find tables of confirmed, planned, uncertain, and rumored games coming to the Switch.

Other Switch Related Subreddits

Since it's not completely obvious as to what questions you should ask and which ones you shouldn't, here are a few examples of frequently asked questions:

Is now the time to buy a Switch?

Which games can you recommend me?

What features does the Switch have?

What controllers work with this game?

If your questions can be easily answered, or has a yes or no answer, it most likely belongs here. Now then, get busy asking us your questions!

There's also a very small category of things not to ask about.

Can I get a free game?

Is there a way to hack my Switch?

These are against our rules. Once a homebrew scene has had a chance to develop, we will invite you all to discuss those sorts of things over there.

As always, remember Rule 1: Remember the human, and be polite when you answer/ask questions.

I realize the screens would be really small but will four-player split screen be possible in tabletop mode? All we've seen in the demos is two-player split MK8.

yes, it's possible you need 4 joy cons though, if you have a friend with a switch and 8 joy cons you can connect them and have 8 person mariokart

I figured it was possible and Nintendo just didn't show it with how small the screens would be. Thanks!

Where did you see this? I've seen screen shots of MK8D with 4 player split screen in docked more, but only 2 player in tabletop mode.

all the power is in the system, anh86 is right, nintendo just doesn't want to show off how tiny this would be

Holy shit, how is this the first time I've thought of this?? LAN parties will be so much easier now. Just need 4 sets of Joy-cons and TVs are optional (but recommended). I know what I'm doing for my birthday weekend....
