yo guys Johnson here and the Nintendo switch has officially arrived but before you go run out and scoop one of these up here are 10 things to know so for starters we're going to kick this off with a weird one because the cartridge is so small about the size of that D card and kendo actually Heisenberg the way to prevent kids from ingesting this now from what I've heard Nintendo applied a layer of denatonium benzoate on the cartridge and that's apparently one of the most bitter tasting chemical compounds on the face of this earth that way if a kid sticks it in his mouth he's gonna spit that out in the name of science though I get totally fair if I test this out myself the question is though do I lick it or do I completely stick this in my mouth that is the obvious answer that's nasty no kids eating this for sure kind of those the best idea doing this as the first fact oh I can't I don't even know what it tastes like like my mind's going did I lick a Sharpie huh what is that oh I need some water taste update I'm getting a lost of nail polish and hats off to Nintendo for being true I guess because I don't think there's a kid on the face of this earth or adult for that matter that's kind of enjoy the taste of that so next up number two is the fact that game availability really isn't that great at launch you just got your switch you're excited to play then you realize they only truly major title available out launches Legend of Zelda breath is a while there are smaller nd titles which are also available on the ps4 and Xbox one but as far as switch exclusive you really only have a couple options one of them being one to switch which essentially is a group of party games currently as far as major releases go you will need to practice some patience Mario Kart 8 deluxe slated for April platoon 2 in the summer NBA 2k in September but if you're looking forward to Super Mario Odyssey you're gonna have to be extra patient because that is not coming out until the holidays so next up number three jumping into some positivity the system is super adaptable for day-to-day life but I think by far one of the coolest features about to switch is how easy it is to switch between all the different ways you can play you could play around the house then hop on the couch pense being optional you can even maybe go outside and get some Sun although it's a pants are probably mandatory and that one and then when you're ready for that TV action just pop it on the dock and magic now it's not actually magic what happens when you place the system into the dock is it automatically ups the system clock speeds which allows it to output it in 1080p the switch also features a built-in kickstand just in case you want to dock it onto a desk or hard surface and I emphasize hard surface because the kickstand really isn't that great so if we place it on a soft surface it is guaranteed to fall over there of course other accessories that do a much better job at this so if you like the idea that that is probably the route you want to go the next step number four speaking of accessories the pricing is insane set of the boxes which comes with two joy con controllers those are those little detachable handles one controller grip which allows you to combine two of them to make a more traditional controller and then lastly some wrist strap attachments that way you accidentally throw a joy con out your window now this is totally adequate for the single-player games and some of the simpler two-player games but if you want anymore that you're going to need to pony up each toy kind of 50 bucks you can however get them in a double pack 480 but you will need to tack on an extra 15 bucks for the controller grip there's also a pro controller option for 70 bucks you can see if you're buying this for just yourself it really isn't that big of a deal but if you've had a giant household or a BB 50 amount of kids this is going to do some serious damage to your wallet so next up number five if we through pricing out the window for a second with those accessories there are so many ways to control the game the simplest option you have is by holding a pair of joique on one in each hand where you just relax your arms and use them independently this is a privately comfortable and personally my favorite way to play if however you want something closer to a more traditional controller you can attach the joique on to a copper grip but you're going to be disappointed because honestly it feels worse the grip paddle themselves are super tiny not particularly well shaped to the human hand plus once you're used to using the Joye con separately it kind of feels like you're taking a step back if however you absolutely need that controller fill you're much better off spending the extra money and getting the switch pro controller so next up number six talking a little bit about game play in terms of portable mode surprisingly it looks really good in terms of specs switches built-in screen is a 6.2 inch capacitive multi-touch panel with a resolution of 720p now I guarantee people are going to hear 720p and lose their minds where's Katy where is 4k what is this caveman crap but the thing is the screen is so small in terms of scale for its size it actually looks incredible for comparison the PS Vita is capped at 544 P could you imagine inviting someone over and asks they wanted to watch a movie on your 544 P TV that ain't quad HD that is quarter HD specs and resolution aside though the backlight is great the colors are even better not even go as far as saying the switch is at its best when used in handheld mode now next up number seven as great as the graphics are battery life is actually kind of a concerned the switchers battery life is expected to be somewhere between three and six hours and you can actually expect closer to that three hour range if you're playing more demanding games like Legend of Zelda alternatively you could remedy this by plugging yourself into a wall outlet but if you plan on being on the go consistently that battery bank you got to chug through those Pokemon Ghost session isn't going to hack it here you're going to need something way more powerful with that said though if you are going to be that guy or girl on the go post some of the biggest baddest power options down below and next up a temporary if you are worried about battery life one bright note with the switch is Auto sleep now with previous antenna systems those would continue to run until the battery was completely drained from the instance for your system saying hey plug me and I'm about to die and you ignored it you're going to lose all of your progress the switch however features an emergency sleep mode that way just in case the battery gets to a critical point it's going to automatically put itself to sleep in turn preventing itself from dying and you losing your data so next up a timeline one really important thing to consider is the fact that the built-in storage on the switch really isn't that much so for example Legend of Zelda is 13 gigs so if you are to download that instantly halfway your storage is gone now well the switch doesn't support USB thumb drives or USB hard drives it does feature an SDXC card slot located beneath the kickstand but again diving back to the fact that the accessories are expensive and they add up this is going to be one more thing you're going to have to buy now last up at number 10 one thing to consider is the fact that online support really fully hasn't arrived yet currently the only thing you can do online is browse and buy from the eShop or add a friend use Nintendo's outdated friend code system now Nintendo has promised more online features in the future specifically with their companion app but that is still a little ways away so as of right now we're kind of in the dark with that the good news is though because you're essentially a guinea pig right now everything is free but its features Rolo and becomes a little more robust you can definitely expect to pay a fee PS as a bonus fact for some reason to switch charges a Macbook seriously besides not hopefully you guys enjoyed the video if you did and you appreciate me licking cartridges make sure you drop a like and about that giveaway you can find out more details here or down below this is Jonathan and I will
