For over a year, Nintendo Switch owners have wondered about—and outright feared—plugging their "hybrid" portable console into unofficial docks. And for good reason: scary, anecdotal reports about third-party Switch docks "bricking" the machine popped up soon after the console received its version 5.0 update in early 2018. What gives?
Cole Young almost made the jump from movie newcomer to game canon in Mortal Kombat 1, but a last-minute time crunch shut it down.
A rare first-party Nintendo games sale has just gone live on Amazon with around a dozen of the company's titles discounted.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
Had mine since launch and it still works perfectly
Kind of a clickbait title, even though it's a very informative article. Seems it's not that the Switch isn't USB-C PD compliant, it's that shitty third party dock engineering is just supplying too much power, or hitting pins it shouldn't due to Nintendo shrinking things a bit, causing a short.
I suppose Nintendo could have made public documentation on exactly how it all works, and the chip they're using, but there's no legal obligation or business incentive for them to do so.
Also, Nyko docks were/are outputting 9V, whereas the chip on the Switch only takes 6V max. 50 percent over, definitely gonna brick.
So...don't use third party docks.
