Nintendo Switch update 3.0 adds new stuff like a 'find your controller' function

"The latest Nintendo Switch update 3.0 adds a bunch of new features, with a few useful new additions like a vibrate function to find those controllers that have slipped down the back of the sofa, notifications when friends go online and the option to use the Pro Controller via a USB charging cable." - gamesradar.com

i love that using a controller while its plugged in is a new feature... why didn't it just do that out of the box like every other system i've owned. i digress. update complete. the controller finding function is definitely useful as everything slides into the couch in this household.

You must not have owned the PS4 before new DS4, Wii U, Wii, Xbox 360.

Xbox One and PS3 are the only ones I think of that originally had the feature.

It isn't that you can use the controller while it's plugged in. That has always been a thing on the Switch. What is new is being able to use the controller as if its a "wired" controller while plugged in. Which most consoles actually don't do. The PS4 only does that with the new dualshock controllers to my knowledge.

The find your controller feature is cool, that's a good idea.

I want it for my TV and remote.

Get on it Samsung, I also want an app on my phone

Dark SNES Games Not Made For Kids

As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d 1h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

“ Nintendo Switch 2 still dominating in Japan”

Such a strange headline. I mean it’s a brand new console released on June 5th. It would be weird if it wasn’t still dominating in sales.

repsahj23h ago

It would be even stranger if the headline was that the Switch 2 wasn't selling. XD

raWfodog5h ago

Yeah, that’s basically what I’m saying but obviously others don’t agree.

wesnytsfs1d 5h ago

I figure its dominating everywhere. I stopped with consoles this gen sticking with PC and the switch will get 99% of the games this way.

repsahj23h ago

Going strong sales! The Switch 2 was launched here in Southeast Asia on June 26. I was among those who pre-ordered. I got my unit the same day with Cyberpunk 2077, and there was a long line of people getting their pre-orders, not as long as the line when a NBA 2K series launched, but it was different because it will be released on all platforms.

I want to see how well the June and July world wide sales.
