Building the Ultimate Nintendo Switch

2017-12-09
hey guys Zhou stain this is the humble Nintendo switch and while some might want to use it in its puny normal state of course here we need to build the ultimate Nintendo switch one of the nice things about the switch is that as a handheld console there's actually a lot that we can do as far as the aesthetics which is where this comes in this is a shell exchange as well as a different shell for the joint cons now if you know anything about the world of joy cons you're probably familiar with this incredibly handsome gentleman mr. Kevin Kenton you've opened up a joy Connor to my friends a couple two hours late ale lettuce a snap driven table I've never done that we basically just ruin the strike we should we just break the dreck on so um we'll be back tomorrow once we actually sort out this joy con mess so a day later we have a magically completed joy con swap never lined would happen in between we're don't worry about this part that's not that we didn't need a replacement or anything I gotta say that this actually looks really cool if you guys want to know how to do the joy con swap for yourself kevin has actually done a full video showing you natalie the different shells but also how to do stuff like the d-pad swap yeah so actually did one specifically on these atomic purple ones this is so happy just kind of just seeing whether it works or not which it actually works great so yeah check that out out of the box something the switch doesn't really have a lot of is internal storage and especially with games like la noir which require like 15 20 gigs of storage to actually just install it even if you have the cart what you're gonna probably want to pick up is a micro SD card and thankfully you can even get like 128 gig cards for like 40 bucks thankfully this is pretty much the easiest thing you can do to a switch just open up the kickstand and when you suddenly have 128 gigs of storage I've through the joy console nothing else is exciting one of the things that makes the switch interesting is the idea that it is a portable console that can be docked however one of the problems is is that you actually can't scratch the screen if you're not careful as the inside of the dock is pretty much just hard plastic that's where a good glass screen protector comes in I think these notches are actually gonna make it a little easier one screen protector fully enabled so this is starting to look cool but we do not have the ultimate Nintendo switch yet next we have the wired LAN adapter to get this guy up on Ethernet wow that's actually a pretty big adapters so no here oh there we go so we show that there actually we're connected over Ethernet so the else you can use is the power plate the idea here is that not only is this a portable charger that you can drop your joy Kahn's on but it will also charge your switch the switch has ok battery life but generally speaking the joy Kahn's actually do last quite a while however it's nice to be able to have a little bit of a bigger battery if you really want to get some extra juice out of the switch this comes in a few different pieces so there's the dock itself which you will drop the battery on what you should do here is if we take off our joy cons they should just slide right onto the battery so by default they will start charging the joy cons and you can just use it like this and then drop it into the dock to charge the entire thing however so with this tiny USBC cable that it comes with we actually can charge the switch using our joy con charger so you plug this end into the switch and this end into the top we should in theory get a charge a now charging so if you want to use your switch like this you can get triple charged action even though you might as well just put the joy Khans on here because it'll charge it anyway but um you know I don't have anything to say it's just the thing ok I will be the first to admit that our stand could use a little bit of work which is where the play stand comes in so way this is supposed to be used is that it's actually going to be a stand that you can use to fully adjust where the switch is going to be standing while still being able to charge it hey it works ok this is not the most ridiculous setup ever but say you want a dock that's going to be a little bit more portable than what Nintendo throws in the Box well that's where this comes in so on one end we have USB C but on the other we have melon USBA but we also have HDMI oh look we're even on Ethernet now this is fully portable oh this is so good and it looks totally the same like I can't see any like latency or any real issues with this look at this this is not the most ridiculous thing we've ever built this actually is like mildly practical we did it we actually have something that's not totally stupid well at least yet all right mr. Kevin Kenton please come in here for a second we have our switch going into a USB C hub which is being powered by a battery it's going HDMI out to the display and we have a USB Ethernet adapter all and glorious 1080p this is super cool and that uh I'm really proud of what we just accomplished even though it doesn't make any sense well it makes sense it's just 1,000% unnecessary but it's awesome some say unnecessary some say Ultimates ultimately necessary but say you want to build the ultimate actually Portable Nintendo switch where that is where this monstrosity comes in this is a 10,000 milliamp hour battery case for the switch wait a minute this weighs just as much as the switch so I just need to plug this in and then pop the cable in on the bottom and then okay so now we are charging with this giant battery bank so it's cool here is that nollie do you have an additional USB a if you want to run another accessory but it also has USB C power and so if you really want to get crazy we can double up our batteries oh there we go so now we have a portable set up with double batteries and the kicker is so you get it kicker we actually have a decent kickstand because this has one built in and it kind of works right right right you know I think most sane people would see this and go this is a horrible mistake you should stop but not us because we double down this is the clip grant to be clear this clip is meant for a smartphone so not only do we have our smartphone here with all the chats and stuff up there's also a small battery built into the grip which is charging the Joye cons however no way that's gonna work oh oh oh it does it does oh wait wait wait hang on I've got to bend it a little bit it's like literally maxed out on the lip all come on oh come on we got it it works don't worry about the duct tape I complain really gently when you clicked on the ultimate Nintendo switch video I hope this is what you had in mind also we can't turn the volume down because we taped over the volume buttons so we learned a lot today most notably some of the stuff is pretty good this type-c dock is actually awesome but of course if you guys want to check out any of this stuff the links will be in the description and let me know what you guys want to see next time on building the ultimate terrible idea I hear you guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
