How is the dead zone on the joypads?

 

[udivision]

Can wii and wiiu controllers connect?

That's been answered.
No.

 

[Apoleptica]

Screen scratch resistance to a large hunting knife.

 

[Nerazar]

DB Power Levels!

 

[Thud]

Where's giant robo?

 

[Puddington]

Ask one of the reps if wireless multiplayer is allowed between a docked and undocked switch.

I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed but I'm curious about it.

 

[Mr Swine]

Can you check on the menu (if possible) if it's possible to change brightness and how big of a difference it is between the lowest and highest setting

 

[spekkeh]

1. Can you place the dock horizontally, so you can put it in your tv cabinet and slide the Switch in and out?

2. Does the screen have haptic feedback when you touch it, or just the joycons?

3. Does Zelda have HD rumble?


I believe these were the main outstanding questions in the threads.

 

[Chezzymann]

Does it get hot in handheld mode with graphically intensive games? Can you hear the fan?

 

[ASIS]

How soft are the buttons?

 

[Dystify]

The Switch even has a brightness sensor in it to automatically change brightness of the screen (even 3DS has this). The setting for it hasn't been shown (like almost everything on the home menu), but it's definitely there.

 

[Nightbird]

OK, here's a good question:

When the battery runs out while on the go, does the system go into a hibernate mode where everything is suspended, or does it shut off and you lose unsaved progress?

this is a very good question

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Hey OP, if you could report back on the build quality of the Switch, Joy cons and Pro Comp controller that would be awesome. Describe the materials and their textures if you could.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Joycon triggers; Digital or analog?

FFS it's been covered a million times now, all triggers are digital on all Switch controllers.
It's shit but it's time to accept it and move on.

 

[ecosse_011172]

I'd like to know anything about the UI and how pretty Zelda is as well as differences between the joypad and the Pro Controller.
How close is the Pro Controller to the Wavebird?

 

[WadeitOut]

^ This

 

[Übermatik]

Is that an iPhone 4 dock?

 

[CharminUltra]

Does it blend?

 

[Astral/H3X]

*If at all possible*, see if you can ascertain whether or not it supports setting black levels to full.

 

[Visualante2]

How many levels are there for audio from max to min. Hoping for 20+

 

[Milly Osworth]

Where do babies come from?

 

[FaintColt388301]

Gonna be there too.

*Bro fist

 

[Kimawolf]

does it feel weighty or cheap? like a expensive piece of kit (like ot looks) or cheap? is it plastic or metal?

 

[majik13]

impressions on HD rumble for Zelda pls.

 

[sanstesy]

Why just not make a general "PAX Switch impressions" thread?

 

[Dystify]

Is that an iPhone 4 dock?

That's the new WiiWe. Not shown in the image is the new WiiWe gamepad.

 

[VegaShinra]

impressions on HD rumble for Zelda pls.

There is no HD rumble for Zelda.

 

[Chezzymann]

Where do babies come from?

When girls get really really constipated they shit them out

 

[TheMoon]

metal :'D

 

[xxracerxx]

Wait...so there is a male connection on the Switch unit itself and it slots into a female connection on the dock? That seems backwards to me.

 

[il Diavolo]

It's shit but it's time to accept it and move on.

Excuse my ignorance but what is digital and analog anyways?

 

[HotHamBoy]

OP: Please do a shoryuken and a hadouken with the left face buttons and the analog stick.

Excuse my ignorance but what is digital and analog anyways?

Analog - farther you pull trigger, faster car goes
Digital - car is either max accelerating (press) or at zero. (no press)

 

[spekkeh]

No


Edit: wait maybe?

 

[Hydrus]

Is the UI fast and snappy. Go thru all the settings. Whats in it?

 

[Dystify]

You want the Switch's USB connector to stick out on the bottom? Doing it the way Nintendo did it seems way more logical to me.

 

[Soul Lab]

There is no HD rumble for Zelda.

there is

 

[Skittzo0413]

These are some excellent questions! Keep em comin! I'm going to do my best to answer them all. And for the record - I'm not expecting any real answers out of the booth workers like "when does xenoblade come out" or anything, lol.

This is more about stuff that I can answer with my own eyes, ears, and hands.

How comfortable is the split Joycon scheme? Like, playing with one Joycon in each hand in the vertical orientation so your hands can relax at your sides.

Also try to see if you can feel the HD rumble in anything besides 1, 2, Switch and ARMS. We've had lots of reports it's in Zelda but it hasn't been confirmed clearly yet.

 

[J@hranimo]

Tomorrow, I'll be traveling to PAX South to cover it for FloKO. But what I'm most excited about is trying out Nintendo Switch for the first time. I'm going to try everything they've got, but I'm especially looking forward to ARMS.

What unanswered questions do you have that I can try and answer while I'm there?

For example: first thing I'm gonna do is try and hit the home button and share button to see what happens, and see if I can mess around in the UI.

Can you play Splatoon 2 with the joycons separate from the grip? Or is it just joycon grip or pro controller?

Thanks in advance

Ah ok thanks

 

[LinkSlayer64]

There is no HD rumble for Zelda.

What the fuck. Then why isn't Link left handed!? Lefties unite!
If it's story, fine, but it was important to me as a kid after being made fun of that Link was a lefty. Please don't make every Link a righty now.

Pardon my aside, please resume requesting impressions from this nice person.

 

[xxracerxx]

No, I want it the way you describe it. That picture looks like it is a female connection in the base. But it must be a male connection on the base, just a bad angle.

 

[freefornow]

It would be great if you got to play it in hand held mode running on battery only, play a game like Zelda, and see if you can note how quickly the battery indicator drops.
For example: Battery indicator has six segments, and after 30 min of playing Zelda, 2 segments no longer showing.
Would be good to have some indicator (although I suspect the display units will be on a power supply)

 

[Alebrije]

As far as I know it's an IPS LCD screen.

Dust magnet incoming....

It is comfortable while handling it for long time ? Weight factor.

 

[GAMETA]

Are you going to play Breath of the Wild?

Could you please try to shield surf on the water? Would be better if you could go down a slope to get some speed and then into the water I haven't seen anyone try, I'm curious to see what happens

 

[VegaShinra]

there is

There is not.

In the interview, Mr Aonuma confirmed that the HD rumble feature will not be present in the game due to the company wanting a similar experience for Wii U and Switch owners.

Yeah it's just a bad angle. It's definitely a male connection.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Ask them where they are hiding Animal Crossing Switch

 

[13ruce]

If you can play Zelda: Breath of the Wild try to look if HD Rumble is in.

 

[Skittzo0413]

There is not.

He did not say that. He said he wishes they could've focused the game on some of the hardware features of the Switch like the HD rumble, but that in no way suggests there is no HD rumble whatsoever. Just that it isn't used as a gameplay feature.

A Treehouse employee tweeted that Zelda will use HD rumble.

 

[LightningXCE]

I think it's male, but recessed. The plastic probably lines up with the holes on the bottom of the tablet, then pushing the tablet down makes sure it lines up and exposes the male plug on the base.

E: super garbage mockup

This is the most sane way I can see it working, and working safely.
