Anyone have the Switch Online handle Denikker, with an owl pic? Just got a friend request and I don't see it in the spreadsheet.
(Also, might be worth adding another column in the spreadsheet for those of us with handles that differ from our forum names. @MNC Dover , what say you?)
In case someone missed this: drifting joycon sticks might be solved by using contact cleaner (WD40 seems to be recommended online, I used another domestic brand). I tried this and it solved both my drifting left sticks. Not sure if this is a temporary or permanent fix, but worth a shot in case you are vary of disassemble your controller.
it's 700% temporary, and it's gonna work less and less with time.
the contact claw scratches the pad, and it gets worse with time.
Wow, thanks! It looks like it’s almost everything online, except for some obvious stuff. It’s actually easier to list what isn’t online:
Slot Cars
Fishing
Team Tanks
3 Solitaire games
Sliding Puzzle
Piano
So, 43 games with online play. And you apparently choose 3 to match with other people online? Interesting take I guess. Will be interesting to see if the game offers more games down the road as DLC.
Excuse me, I can't play Sliding Puzzle online? Also no Solitaire in multiplayer either?! That's a HARD NO SALE.
They actually just did a Splatfest. They redid ketchup vs. mayo on May 22-24, 2020. So we may end up seeing splatfests rerun, just to keep interest up in the game.
I went to the store for raddish's and walked out with Bioshock collection (And also Raddish's)
Might have to Archive some stuff i have completed which i should have done to begin with but eh.
The cashier lady was super annoyed with me when i came back and had it traded in for a different copy of the same game because apparently the plastic wrap was the only thing containing that copy's structure and as soon as i opened it the case split in half.
Clubhouse Games (or 51 Worldwide Games as it's titled over here) has a demo up! Well, I say demo. It's a "Local Multiplayer Guest Edition" once you've downloaded it. It includes 4 games from the full selection: Four-in-a-Row, Dominoes, President and Slot Cars, to play as much as you want. You can play any of them in local multiplayer with other players who have the Guest Edition, including up to 4 players in Dominoes or President. And if someone has the full version, you can join in local multiplayer with them in any of the 51 games. It also includes the "how to play" for all 51 games.
I also got a request from that name, assuming from the Animal Crossing list
Ah yes, looks like @Slacker1913 who just added themselves to the spreadsheet today!
Which reminds me, I do need to go through and start adding all you lot. So if you get a friend request from JazzMX5 with a Samus pic, that's me.
Yeah, sorry about that, I am a bit late in adding everyone to the friends list.
No worries, so am I, and it's a long list to trawl through so I'm doing it in pieces. Not having any way to correlate Switch names with PA names makes it tricky; apparently you can't even see someone's friend code when you're friends? So it's become annoyingly obvious that I can't see who's who in any way that I can find once they've accepted my friend request (assuming their Switch name and PA name are different).

I just bought Mario Party and thought that I could play it with a group of five because I have the two Joy-Cons and 3 Pro controllers. Little did I know that Mario Party only supports Joy-Cons. Since I don't think that a set of Joy-Cons is worth 80 bucks, and there aren't any sales right now, are there any really solid third party solutions that anybody knows about? I know that third-party Joy-Cons are a dime a dozen and each variation is missing at least one feature, so I'd like to know if there are any third party ones that tick all the boxes at a more reasonable price.

If you gave Android, you can use a cell phone as Joycons using an app

I'll give it a shot as a short term solution. Thanks for the heads up.
I wouldn't normally worry about wear and tear to controllers, but my dog has hair that gets everywhere and in everything. Knowing how easy it is to accident get something between the stick and contacts, I'm a little worried a rouge dog hair will be a Joycon's untimely demise.
Can you customize your own slot car tracks in Clubhouse Games?
You can't in the Guest Edition, and since there's no suggestion that Slot Cars is cut down in that edition, I would guess not in the full version either. There's only three tracks included, too. That's a bit disappointing.
The exception is if you lay down multiple Switch tablets together in "mosaic mode", up to four I think, then you swipe across all of them to let them know where they are in relation to each other and the game seems to auto-design a new track layout that takes in all the Switches. (So, for example, put them in a line to make a track with long straights, or fit them together in a more offset fashion to create more twisty bits.)
No clue how (or if) that works with Switch Lites, it only shows how it works with full-size Switches.

I think the official Scalextric game for the Switch does let you build your own tracks but the reviews for it are pretty awful.
Hi! I just saw today that Runner3 is on sale for less than 1.50 on the eShop right now. (I thought this game was worth the reg 20 asking price.) Buy if you like rhythm games!!

Can confirm it works with a combo of regular Switch and Switch Lites, but you'll need joy cons for the Lites
I did not have the drifting problem either, until Pokemon. Turns out when you put 400+ hours into a game (and another 600+ on Animal Crossing), your controllers start to wear out.

I kind of bounced off of it, despite liking 1 and 2. The stuff it does with shifting the camera around didn't work for me.

My issue started during my couple hundred house of Fire Emblem so I can definitely agree here.

Played Mancala online with a rando. Was super easy to connect and play. Why is online so ass with Animal Crossing?
Animal Crossing definitely does a lot of things wrong with its online implementation, but there are really simple reasons why it's easy to play mancala with someone, or race someone in Mario Kart, while Animal Crossing takes forever to figure itself out.
With a fully customizable island they have to synchronize all of that data among every user, and keep track of any changes made by anyone, new items dropped, holes dug, plus everyone's inventory and appearance, which they can change out at any time including with their own custom textures.
In mancala you don't even have to download another user's custom textured mancala board. A move can likely be represented by a single byte (which hole is being sown from).

Fair, but I'm not even talking about the loading times. There are also fewer unnecessary menus to walk through, which is honestly what I was referencing. Do you want to play a game? Cool, what game.
vs
Do you want to go or invite
online of ofline
are you super sure
how do you want to invite
are you extra super sure
.... oh you made a mistake, start at the beginning.
I'm still going to play another could hundred hours of AC, I just reseve the right to bitch. Also to have PTSD because MANILA IS MY FAVORITE FLAVOR OF CLAM.

Nintendo not having a voice party system/unified game invites is so silly. I know it's because family friendly, but man just make it something you have to enable in the settings, and only on adult accounts.

They’ve incentivized everyone to just use another service so Nintendo won’t have to take responsibility if something goes wrong. Their not even half baked cell phone solution exists so they can just check a box and say “see, we provided something”. Yeah I know that’s a super cynical take on it, but that’s about as positive as I can manage.
I just played and finished Moonlighter in about 3 days. To say that I enjoyed the game would be an understatement. Something about that game clicked with me even if it got repetitive towards the end. Highly recommend it for a good brain diversion.

In normal times the $50ish alternatives aren't really cheap enough to justify putting up with their shortcomings. But these aren't normal times.

I can just be Raybies on Nintendo, no 666 required, and I've played Mario Kart against several Dads too.
I've never had to play against xXxDad4752xXx and I think that's nice.
