Google Ai says it won't wake Switch 2. Funny I saw a 128kb video showing a 3rd party controller that could wake Switch 2.

Yeah, the 8bitdo Pro 3 controllers can wake it by shaking the controller, but you have to enable it in the controller firmware yourself or something. I saw a video on it a month ago.

I have a Nintendo Pro 1 controller and an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, neither of which supposedly can wake a Switch 2 wirelessly.

So my Switch 1 Pro controller works fine on Switch 2, but I won't be able to wake up the console with it. Hrm So laziness is Nintendo's sinister plan to get me to buy a $90 Switch 2 Pro Controller? Ain't happening, Nintendo! I am more cheap than I'm lazy.  

Currently using my Switch 1 Pro Controller on my Switch 2 as well and yeah a bit bummed that I can’t wake it up with it.

Select streamers will be featuring Metroid Prime 4

I didn't want to say anything, but Nintendo begged me to stream Metroid Prime 4. Begged I tell you. But as a man of principal, I reaffirmed my commitment to stream no new Nintendo games until they send over StarTropics 3. I understand they still feel the game needs a little more polish, and I respect that, but I'm not going to change my stance no matter how many millions of dollars they throw at me.

No it was a different brand.

128kb is a youtube channel that covers a lot of handheld Pcs and specialise in controller reviews. If you check it, the latest switch 2 controller they tested seemed good.

But I'd wait for the Mobapad M6 variant Switch 2 version.

They are split joycon that are very much like a traditional controller split in two. They can be used as joycon in handheld, or split joycon for TV play, or connected to make a normal controller.

The M6 switch 1 controllers actually have an accessory where it has magnetic rails to adapt it to switch 2.

Aliexpress sells them too

I had The misfortune of popping into a Walmart today till I dropped by the video game section. This location does have the Metroid prime 4 demo. Looks impressive. I would have played it, but some fat guy had parked it in front of the kiosk, and there was no getting around him.

I has my Switch 2. There's no Mario kart world code in the box so I hope it's pre-installed or something. Doing the transfer stuff now.

It feels more premium that my OG Switch. Much bigger overall too.

What's keeping you? I still play it nearly every day, even if only for 10 minutes.

Mario Kart World is fun. I'm playing the Grand Prix as the Cow. I really like that DK arcade inspired track.

As far as the system, I'm pleasently surpised how vibrant the colors are on everything on my TV. Even SNES and NES games look more colorful and sharper.
