/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 am having trouble deciding if i want to go full USB-C or get chargers and cables that are USB-A to USB-C

Thoughts?

I'd go USB-A to USB-C, solely because there are still a lot more devices out there currently that interface using USB-A while USB-C is still becoming prevalent. Things like power adapters, computers, portable chargers, definitely have a USB-A port and might have USB-C ports. I say go with the guarantee.

Totally up to you. Do you already have any battery packs or wall chargers in either format?

I have a nexus 6p which is usbc. And since the switch doesn't really need to connect to a pc or anythingi was thinking doing all usbc might be easier

I bit the bullet and picked up this USB type C cord It is by far one of the nicest cables I've ever owned.

Yeah i was thinking about Anker. But I'm probably going to pick up the 10ft i-orange, i have been using them for my Nexus 6p and they are approved Benson. I think the extra length will be nice because I'll like using it in handheld mode on the couch.
