Nintendo Switch owners should be familiar with amiibo figures. By tapping them on the right Joy-Con controller, you can unlock in game bonuses and add a lot of fun to compatible games. These bonuses are not single use and people actually share them with family and friends. To do so, they either borrow the amiibo figure or clone their data onto compatible NFC tag. I got the N2 Elite NFC Emulator to do just that.

One of the qualms about Nintendo Switch is that it does not work with Bluetooth headphones/ earphones. With wired earbuds, it often leads to nuisance like tugging the earbuds out of the ears or accidents like pulling the Nintendo Switch off the table top. All these can be avoided if the audio can be wirelessly delivered. Hence, products like Genki and Reiyin WT-04 enable Bluetooth audio for the Nintendo Switch. I bought the Reiyin WT-04 Bluetooth 5 audio transmitter from Reiyin shop on aliexpress.com during their December 2018 promotion for US$14.74 (shipping inclusive).

The Nintendo Switch’s kickstand is a nice touch. It allows the Nintendo Switch to stand on its own on a flat surface during a round of Overcooked! or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The problem is that the tilt is not adjustable, obstructed charging port and neck strains. The HORI Compact Playstand allows the Nintendo Switch to be tilted at multiple angles while being charged. I got the HORI Compact Playstand for ￥1,086 (approximately S$13.50).

I bought additional Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers recently and was wondering how do I keep them charged? The ultimate disappointment in multi-player gaming is when the spare controllers run out of batteries. To avoid that, I bought the HORI Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Charge Stand to keep them charged. It cost ￥2,677 (approximately S$33) from Amazon Japan.

The Nintendo Switch is a powerful portable gaming device with its Nvidia Tegra X1 SoC. It has four ARM Cortex A57 cores maxing out at 2 GHz. To top it off, it has 256 CUDA cores at 768 MHz and 4 GB RAM! Other than running Nintendo Switch games, it would probably run emulators perfectly! That’s where Team Xecuter’s SX Gear, Hekate and Lakka comes into the picture.

One year on, my colleagues and friends are still enjoying their Nintendo Switch. It does not seems to be a fad and proved itself to be one of the most exciting gaming consoles so far with periodic game releases.
The Nintendo Switch is interesting. Not only can you bring it around for single player games, you can also spice up a party with multiplayer games directly on the console or on a big screen through the included Nintendo dock. I bought the Nintendo Switch recently after one of my buddies got it. I hope I ain’t too late to the party.
