The Switch 2 comes with a protector that many would remove without thinking. Nintendo has a warning for users

by

One of the first gestures we usually release a new device is to withdraw the screen protector that comes from the factory. It is almost an act reflex: remove the bright movie, place a more robust temperate glass and, if it is a mobile, sheems it to protect it from blows. But with the Nintendo Switch 2that custom can play against. This time, what seems like a simple protective film is not there for aesthetics or courtesy. Nintendo has made it clear that it is not convenient to withdraw it. And he has done it even before the official launch of the console, scheduled for June 5. The notice appears in the security manual that will accompany the device on its arrival to the European market. The document, already available on the official websiteincludes a very clear warning: the screen is covered with a movie designed to prevent fragments from being dispersed in case of breakage. The exact phrase, in Spanish, is direct: “Do not withdraw.” Nintendo’s warning, as appears in the official manual This may sound strange if we think of other technological products. After all, we have been getting used to this type of film for years, almost a wrapping. But not here. In this case we talk about a layer with a concrete security featuresimilar to the one that already incorporated the Nintendo Switch Oled. In that device the same target had: prevent cuts and prevent pieces from jumping. The previous consoles did not have this protection. The Original switch and the Lite They used plastic screens and, therefore, did not present that risk. But the change to glass screens has forced Nintendo to take action. It is not just a change in the material, it is a decision that impacts the use, safety and how we should treat the device as soon as they get it out of the box. And it is not something exclusive to Nintendo. In the world of smartphones we have already lived a similar situation. The most remembered example was the Galaxy Fold Samsung original. That first niche of folding mobiles included a layer that many confused with A simple protector. When they withdrew it, Some experienced problems. Not everything that looks like an accessory is. Sometimes, it is part of the device itself. Returning to the Switch 2, the advice is clear: it is convenient not to touch what we do not know exactly what it is for. And even more read the instructions. Because this console, which will cost 469.99 euros (VAT included), it is not precisely a cheap investment (Like your games). Risking to spoil the screen for an automatic and avoidable gesture is not worth it.

All the questions and doubts that remain to be resolved from the Nintendo Switch 2 to a week of its launch

by

Next week we will attend the launch of Nintendo Switch 2the new Nintendo laptop and successor of a console that not only conquered the past generation, but completely changed the way we understand gaming. The new model, bigger, more powerful and more complete, will be officially launched on June 5. However, despite its proximity and I could try it a few weeks ago in Paris, There are still many questions to answer. Nintendo Switch 2 is still unknown in many sections. So, and while we wait to put the glove as soon as possible, here is a compilation of questions, issues, issues and things that Nintendo has not yet clarified and that, except for surprise, we will have to wait for the launch to solve. Is there any improvement in Nintendo Switch 1 games that have no patch for switch 2? Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom | Image: Nintendo It is, perhaps, one of the most relevant aspects. Nintendo intends to launch patches that improve the performance and graphic quality of certain games (patches that are paid separatelythere is plenty of saying), but it remains in the air if Nintendo Switch 1 games that will not receive patch (think of ‘Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘) They will benefit in some form of the extra power of Nintendo Switch 2. It does not necessarily have to be in textures, but, for example, in the frame rate per second or in the drawing distance. This is something that would improve, and not precisely little, the experience when playing certain titles like ‘Pokémon’, without going any further. What will it be exactly backward? State of retrocompatibility as of May 27 | Image: Nintendo Nintendo is Testing of their games and those of their partners to shed light on retrocompatibility. At the moment, most games can be played without problem or have problems that will be fixed for launch (PDF), some can be launched and are tested (PDF) and a tiny minority present problems when starting or are not compatible, directly (PDF). It remains to solve what these errors are, to what extent there are guarantees that a backward game can be played from beginning to end and if there will be any solution for games that are not compatible today or cannot be launched. What happens if I put a Nintendo Switch 2 cartridge on Nintendo Switch? We know that Nintendo Switch 2 uses the same cartridges as Nintendo Switch and that we can put a cartridge of the previous generation in the new console. The question is, and the otherwise what happens? Does it give an error without more? Does the console show more information to the user? How does DLSS work? Nintendo Switch 2 | Image: Nintendo This confirmed That Nintendo Switch 2 mounts a NVIDIA processor (it is not known which, at least officially) with GPU, also NVIDIA, with Dedicated RT and tensor nuclei. That means, mainly, one thing: compatibility with DLSSthe Reacalado with AI technology How popular it is on PC. According to Nvidia and Nintendo, Switch 2 will admit 4K resolution in TV mode and up to 120 fps in Fullhd in portable mode. The thing is, will the user know that DLSS Is it activated? Can it be deactivated or adjusted in some way? Something tells us no, that the operation will be totally transparent to the user and this will not be able to touch graphic configurations, but we will see. Can I use the Nintendo Switch dock with Nintendo Switch 2 and vice versa? Not because Nintendo Switch 2 does not come with its dock, which includes it, but because it never hurts to know that if the new one breaks, we can use the ancient console. In the event that you can, will you win or lose something with respect to using the original dock? Can I play in 4K if I connect the TV 2 switch 2 using the original switch dock? Do Nintendo Switch’s joy-with Nintendo Switch 2 work well? Joy-Con de Nintendo Switch 2 | Image: Nintendo It is evident that we will not be able to hook Nintendo Switch’s joy-with the Nintendo Switch 2 because the system is different, but it would be a real point that could be connected wirelessly to take advantage of them and play with friends. We know that it can be done, but not if there will be any limitation in terms of latency or connectivity. What we do know is that nothing of loading them with the Switch 2 and that we will not have button C, for obvious reasons. Does the Pro Command in Nintendo Switch 2 work? Nintendo has not let the opportunity to announce a New Pro command for switch 2. However, it has not spoken about the command of the previous generation. It can be expected that, being a wireless command and knowing that old joy can be connected wirelessly, we can continue using our pro command. There is no official information about it, in any case. Can Bluetooth launch headphones be used? It looks like a question without further injury, but the truth is that Nintendo Switch was launched in 2017 and it was not well entered 2021 which was updated to admit Bluetooth headphones. We do not know if Nintendo Switch 2 will offer this launch capacity or if, on the contrary, Nintendo will leave it for later. Can I load the console for either of the two USB ports type C? Nintendo Switch 2 | Image: Nintendo And now that we talk about connectivity, Nintendo Switch 2 has not one, but two USB type C. ports we know that one admits load and another is for accessories, but not if we can load the console in either. That possibility would be great, since the positions of the cables and loaders are usually capricious and it is not always comfortable to play while carrying the console. Having that possibility would give more options and improve the experience. Does … Read more

Years ago I bought an Echo Dot with the idea of ​​using Alexa, but the greatest use I have given is with a Nintendo Switch

by

At the beginning of 2023 I bought the Echo Dot of 5th Generation With the idea of ​​creating an ecosystem connected at home. And although in a way I came to do it, I have rarely made use of the functions that Alexa offers. In fact, the use that I have given most is with a Nintendo Switch, and for the 49.99 euros which currently costs the device would use it again. Echo Dot (5th Generation) * Some price may have changed from the last review A device that offers great utility beyond making Alexa use He Echo Dot of 5th Generation It is thought, to some extent, to connect accessories compatible with Alexathus creating a “intelligent” ecosystem to use the voice functions and commands of the assistant. However, we must not forget that We talk about a Bluetooth connectivity speakerand it is precisely what I have squeezed the most. During these years I have had the Amazon device placed in different places of the house. While it is true that now I have it in the living room, most of the time I have had it in the bedroom. On many occasions I have played the console in the bedroom for a small time, and Not having a TV had to use the portable format. The sound of the console is the one that is, so there was a time when I wanted to prove if it could be paired with the echo dot. You can, and the audio quality liked it so much that I have spent many months using the Amazon echo this way. Since then, I have used it with other devices such as my smartphone. Lately I have been around my head buying a portable bluetooth speaker. That is, with integrated battery to connect it to the Nintendo Switch anywhere and not depend on the location where I have the Amazon echo. However, the next step I will take will not be to buy a Bluetooth speaker, but convert the Echo Dot into a portable speaker. In the same Amazon store there are some accessories compatible with the Echo Dot of 5th generation. One of the most interesting is the one who sells the store itself under the Mission Cable brand: it is a Integrated battery accessory to which we can attach the Amazon echo, so that it does not depend on having a power outlet. And its price is not very high, it costs 48.99 euros. In short, the 5th generation Echo has seemed a very useful device. Although I do not express it to the maximum, I have given him a utility that he thought would not give him. The cable mission accessory also seems very useful, especially if we want to use the Amazon device without limiting us to do it in a single room (and without having to buy several Amazon Echo).

Samsung is winning with the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2. Users, not so much

by

The expected Nintendo Switch 2 It will arrive on June 5, and to be able to meet the huge initial demand, the firm has allied with Samsung. They are good news for the South Korean company, which manages to “steal the portfolio to TSMC” in this case. Here, however, there is small print. Chips to Gogó. As indicated In BloombergIn Nintendo they hope that in the first nine months of the new console (until March 2026), 20 million units will be sold. Having a manufacturer like Samsung as an ally to take care of chips is crucial, because there are very few who can assume that rhythm of production. Nvidia as a fundamental partner. When the Nintendo Switch 2 was revealed It was officially confirmed that this console would make use of a personalized NVIDIA processor. The chip integrates a GPU with RT nuclei and tensioning nuclei to provide a promising graphic jump and also improvements based on AI algorithms. Thus, it will be possible to enjoy Ray layout In real and theoretically, some type of DLSS system to offer higher resolution games. But the chip is disappointing. All data They have appeared allow to deduce that the chip used by the Nintendo Switch 2 is the NVIDIA TEGRA T239. It is a surprisingly old chip – the technology is 2020/2021 – whose GPU has ampere architecture, as in the NVIDIA GPUS 30 GPUS series. In fact, the photolithography process is 8 nanometers, when normal in state -of -the -art chips is to use nodes of 3 Nm, such as Apple in its M4, Intel in their lunar Lake and Arrow Lake, or whichcomm in its Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. Bad news for users? A priori this are bad news for those who buy the Nintendo Switch 2, at least if they think they are paying for the latest technology. Being old, the chips used in Switch 2 have clear disadvantages in areas such as energy consumption that will affect battery autonomy. A chip of 5 or at least 7 Nm would have improved this section significantly. But this is Nintendo being Nintendo. The Japanese company has been adopting this strategy for many years. He already did it with the original switch, which despite launching in 2017 used Tegra X1, a 20 Nm chip that was announced in January 2015. In its previous success, the Wii, its graphic chip was significantly less powerful than that of direct rivals such as the Xbox 360 or the PS3. Nintendo It does not care technically behind the rest: Sales have almost always proved him right. And the games are still wonderful. While their competitive theorists usually boast megaproductions with spectacular visual quality, Nintendo maintains a splendid tradition: what matters is to make videogames whose playability is extraordinary. The visual section matters, but is in the background. That makes the requirements so important either for Nintendo, or for its users at the hardware level: a large console can be made without having the best or latest of the latest in some of its sections. Controlling costs. Samsung thus wins a juicy contract that will allow you to squeeze the juice of its factories, but Nintendo is the one that really takes advantage of this strategy to reduce the component bill. These chips are of course cheaper than more modern alternatives, which allows saving in this section. The probable objective: Do not lose money with each console sold. The launch of the PS5 complied with the unwritten norm in the world of consoles: manufacturers They usually lose money with each console sold. It also happened with the Xbox Series S/X, and in both cases what they lost with the hardware then recovered it (and fondabilized) with the sale of video games. Eaten for served. Nintendo is also the exception to the rule, or at least it was, because some analysts point out that the firm will lose money with the console, which in Spain will cost 469 euros. Others indicate that Nintendo will not lose money, but Nor will it win it just. A good logistics decision. Nintendo’s strategy is also interesting because it will not “compete” for hiring production capacity in a TSMC that is very requested by companies such as Apple or Nvidia for their advanced chips. There are rumors that in the future there will be a 2 Oled switch, and it is likely that it is Samsung that also provides these panels, as has happened With the Switch Oled.

If the question is “you will sell the Nintendo Switch 2 despite the price increase” the answer is: yes, a lot

by

469 euros. Is what is worth Nintendo Switch 2 Brand new without a single game. A price that makes it compete with consoles such as PlayStation 5 wave Xbox Series x And that, no matter how much it hurts, it takes on some sense: The switch is no longer a toy. It was possible to wonder if, after this price increase, Nintendo would have easy to sell its new console. The answer is clearer than ever. Not that he is selling well, he is selling more than he had planned. The Price Upon. The Nintendo Switch went on sale in Spain at a price of 329.99 euros. Four years after its launch, the company It reduced it to 299.99 euros. A strategic movement to give way to a switch OLED that went on the Spanish market in 2021 by 349.99 euros. Four years later, the company launches its new switch 2 for 469 euros, and with specifications that few expected. Ability to execute games in 4K 60FPS, an important graphic jump in the games that await you and the great added of Switch: portability. Uncertainty. A few days after your presentation, Nintendo postponed switch 2 reservations in the United States. Reason? The constant changes in tariffs imposed on China and other countries by the Trump administration. The rumors about price increases on the PVP that had been planned were in the air although, after a foreseeable calm, it seems that everything follows its course. Dying of success. Partially loved the stormNintendo has revealed how Switch reserves are going. The answer is “extremely” well. Shuntaro Furukawa has explained in X The current situation. “We have acquired many pieces in advance and state progressing with the production so that we can make the deliveries of Nintendo Switch 2. On April 2, we announced its details and open a lottery for sale in My Nintendo Store. As a result, we receive an extremely large amount of applications: approximately 2.2 million people only in Japan. This far exceeds our initial expectations and far exceed Switch 2 that can be delivered through My Nintendo Store on June 5. The Switch 2 is dying of success before birth in Japan, so much that it will not be able to meet all the initial deliveries. Forced march in production. Nintendo not only has to supply Japan from Switch 2, it has to do the same with the global market. Furukawa has assured that the company will reinforce its production system, one that continues to depend on countries like China, which has been imposed a 125%tariff. The big doubt is what will happen to the price of this console in its long life cycle. Competitors like Sony are clear: They are already uploading prices.

call nintendo by phone

Something that surprised me when I went to work in Xataka is the community. Not only that of comments, where you can discuss the subject in the article, but specific issues that, if we can, we try to solve. No one was born, and if we move that to video game worldthat’s why there are guides. What would never occur to me is that the company that develops a game could be called on the phone to help me with that impossible phase. But, precisely, that is what Nintendo did in the early 90s: I had a group of video game experts that helped you when you needed it. Were the ‘Nintendo games counselors‘, And it seems to me something as magical as unrepeatable in the current video game sector. Nintendo Power. In the summer of 1988, two heavyweights of Nintendo of America founded Nintendo Power. It was a magazine that focused on games analysis, advances of new titles and ‘fan’ content of some of its most popular sagas. And one of its pillars were video game guides. Complicated. The titles of the time They were difficultwith unfair mechanics in some cases (I’m looking at you, game of ‘The Lion King’) and with extremely obtuse designs in others, which made it difficult for many users to advance. The vast majority of games lasted a sigh, so that difficulty was a way that they were not completed in a couple of hours, but in the case of games of SNESmore complex than those of previous consoles, the guides were essential in some cases. The hot nintendo line. If you were a juggon in the Time of Spanish magazines Preinternetyou will remember that you could write and, if you were lucky, their editors would give you a hand. However, Nintendo Power came up with a masterful (and demential) idea: to train experts in certain Nintendo games to help players who need it. They were the ‘Nintendo Games Directors’ and their work material is as you are imagining it: desktop with a TV, a console, files with the maps and tips of the most important games of their consoles and a cable -free hands to be able to play or manipulate the documents while solving the ballot. ‘Powerline to the pros’. A few years ago, the medium Nintendolife He interviewed Erich Waas, a heavyweight of Zenimax online Studios, but in his youth he needed part -time job and took him to be one of these directors. Basically, it seems that the work was a “fans for fans”, since the interview consisted of questions about three specific games: ‘Metroid’, ‘Zelda’ and ‘Dragon Quest’. They gave him a week to prepare the three games (very little time, the truth) and in the interview they asked him about issues related to how to level up. Popularity. When he joined the team in 1990, Game boy I was already on sale and Snes was falling, so the most popular games they asked were the ‘Zelda’ (logical), ‘Dragon Quest’ and the Point & Click ‘Shadowgate’ adventure. And, at that time, there were 250 people among game counselors and customer service. The brain of the beast. Thus the Super Nintendo was known, but I would say rather than the beast’s brain was the file that these game counselors had. Waas commented in the interview that, during the first month, all they did was play popular games at that time and receive training to help those who called looking for answers. That training was not only technical, but also communication. “We could not say” kill “, but” win “when we talked to the players,” he says. Nintendo is a company with an ‘Family Friendly’ approach, and that has been so for decades. They also had to show enthusiasm for the game they were talking about. Get asking. With the games that passed they gained experience to reply Questions, but also, they had a huge file with folders in which there were screenshots, maps of frequent levels and questions. That allowed, although the counselor in question would not have ended ‘Final Fantasy VI‘, for example, as there were certain recurring questions of the players whose answer was noted, I simply went for the corresponding folder when I received the call and … ready. Happy player. Beyond video games. This Reddit thread It is very fun because we can see testimonies of people who called this service. And there are anecdotes of all kinds: who called to get the invisibility layer of ‘A link to the past‘, who did it to pass to the King Dede de’Kirby’s Dream Land‘, who said that the friends called him to tell them how to complete a phase, who states that they responded reluctantly and who says they burst one of the best moments of the aforementioned’ Final Fantasy VI ‘. And it is possible that this line was more than an aid to pass levels. Waas says that “there were some different calls sometimes, especially on Fridays and Saturday nights. Also during Christmas holidays, with lonely players with whom I stayed to talk most of the time. And something curious is that, sometimes, they did not give him the answer directly.” They trained us to take the player on the right track thanks to different tracks until they discovered the answer for themselves. “ Subtleties. Because there are times that, for example, we do not know that we have to use a mechanic to defeat an enemy and, in that case, the directors would tell us things like “hey, why you think you have a skill that allows you to eat enemies and then expel them…” so that we get to the answer. Other times … Well, you had to help directly. Waas comments a funny anecdote: “Once, someone called for ‘The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past’. The player asked what he had to do when the uncle who tells you at the beginning of the game that” you wait “leaves … Read more
