Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

How hard/expensive is it to replace a switch screen? A couple years ago my oldest raged and cracked his screen. His punishment has been to play on that cracked screen until he can afford a new one. He has saved up and wants an OLED, so I figure I will just take his old one over.

Everything I've seen it seems pretty painless sense the screen is on it's own half of the case... I think the ribbon cable for it is pretty fragile though..

my understanding is gamestop does not accept cracked screens on switch trade ins but you can try. you have to take in the switch, dock, 2 joycons, joycon holder/grip, joycon straps, HDMI cable, and AC power cable.

today is the five year anniversary of switch first reveal. time flies

I caved and jail broke mine. It still sits collecting dust as even the enticing price of free can't get me off of PC gaming with Nintendos glacial pace of first party title releases and lack of indie games that aren't >$10 on steam or on gamepass already.

Hurry up with new Zelda, new Odyssey, new Mario Kart. (I will buy these if they ever come out before 2082.)

Also god damn clean your cables up Rajaah =D

Best way to see if stock comes in around you?

It seems the a lot of places have stock-in for the non-OLED switches.

oof tough to watch but this guy trashes his OLED switch with exacto knife and fire to see how durable it is. definitely, definitely get a tempered glass screen protector for your switch, it scratches easily even with a coin


This is the one I used, 3 pack for $10 and simple to attach

Yeah, it's a glass screen now, but since Nintendo is too cheap to use Gorilla Glass (even though Amazon can somehow do it on tablets they sell for as low as $50) they had to put a coating on top of the cheap glass to prevent it from completely shattering if it breaks and that coating scratches just as easily as the old plastic screen.

I used those same protectors. Took two tries but the second one came out perfect.

Now that they are live folks are not happy with the N64 games on Switch beyond just the price.

As long as you can put it on without hair or dust getting underneath, it's completely invisible.

i notice no difference in picture quality with my screen protector either.

you need one because just putting the switch in/out of the dock can scratch the screen. The oled dock is slightly better designed to avoid this (some people have tested), but the OG switch easily scratches your screen over dozens of redocks, since its nearly impossible to put it down every time without having the edges touch.

and yeah the new switch online "xpac" pricing tier is stupid shitty, i looked at it online and it'd take my 2 year existing NSO sub, cut it down to 12 months, and I still need to pay like $25 to upgrade to the new tier. and go from 2 years NSO to 1 year. and pay another $80 in 1 year when my sub expires. sucks balls, but since i have 2-3 family members who play animal crossing its still cheaper doing this (ignoring all the n64/genesis games) than paying $50-100 to buy animal crossing xpansion DLCs.

Switch verison of OOT removed the reflections on the water for the the Dark Link fight in the Water Temple. They were really lazy with the N64 emulation yet charge a premium subscription for it.

feel free to repost in smt thread i have no idea where it is


wonder how it'll run on pc emulator
