[Switch] I’m thinking of buying a Switch now, but since my TV is a plasma, it doesn’t have a game mode or anything. Is that okay?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

Plasma today!?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

You can just do it in mobile mode.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Wait until the announcement on April 2nd 🫷

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why buy now?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

No good.

It will burn into the shape of the home screen.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

If you don’t have a specific game you want to play right now, I think it’s fine to wait!

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

I haven’t heard about plasma TVs in a while…

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re willing to wait until now, it probably means you have the luxury of waiting, so go ahead and buy it.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since there is compatibility, it’s definitely better to wait for the two.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

This thread smells really desperate for replies…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re going to buy it now, just wait for 2.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

I see, they announced 2 as well, huh?

Our plasma TV shows no signs of breaking down.

The stuck-on issue can definitely be scary.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

I tried searching for “plasma TV games” but…

I have the impression that there isn’t really a problem.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since there is compatibility, you can confidently say to buy it.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Back when LCD and plasma were competing, plasma was the dominant one.

Right after that, the LCD caught up.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Wait until the second one comes out, because there is backward compatibility.”

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Plasma TVs probably consume a lot of electricity.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Wasn’t there something different about plasma compared to LCD TVs…?

Because it’s thin, it’s kind of the same thing…

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>18

It consumes about twice the power compared to LCD.

Difficult to miniaturize due to structural reasons.

It feels like there is a weakness where the screen is dark.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

What are your strengths?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

Afterimages are less likely to occur.

The colors are vivid.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

Because it has a strong performance with fast movements, plasma is suitable for watching sports.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>18

At that time, the delays and afterimages were quite different.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Understood.

I will wait until 2.

I would be happy if you could tell me your recommended games from now on.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

Please tell me what genres or what kind of games you like.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

I like action, shooting games, and RPGs.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

Zico Saga

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

What hardware do you have?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Which plasma is still moving?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a movable plasma TV.

Please take care of it.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

The plasma TV was discontinued in 2013 and has a lifespan of about 15 years, so it’s about time it’s reached its limit.

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Right after the release of 2, there will likely be a scramble for it, so it’s reasonable to ignore that and buy this one instead.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Nostalgic

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

Someone who doesn’t even understand the difference from a CRT.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Used items are getting cheaper, so isn’t it fine to go with used?

The Switch I bought on Mercari is working fine.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if there are TVs with SED or microLED…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

Give up on SED.

MicroLED is suited for ultra-large screens.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

No way! I don’t want it to be like CCD where components are mounted; I want it to be directly molded onto the board! If it can’t be made to the size and density that can be used for small displays or VR head-mounted displays, then I don’t want it!

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

For small to ultra-small sizes, OLED is the only option.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Monster Hunter Rise is fun!

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

https://store-jp.nintendo.com/item/software/D70010000034732

You can buy Progear’s Storm and Giga Wing for just 200 yen each.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Playing Zelda is worth it.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s play the Unicorn Overload demo at least!

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Tales of Graces f

The combat system is really well done, so it’s worth playing.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since the download version of Bug Princess has been discontinued, it’s a good idea to buy the packaged version if you come across it.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

It’s a big revival too!

Also, Garuda II.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

Is it that if I clear that game that came out on Switch, it seems like I get a bad ending? But does it become a happy ending in the second game?

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If it’s in the thumbnail, then Xenoblade DE.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

#FE

Playing ♯FE.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s probably best to be cautious, but can screen burn-in really happen just from leaving the home screen on for a few minutes?

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

France’s ~ television

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If it’s RPG and action games, there probably isn’t enough time just to play Nintendo titles.

https://store-jp.nintendo.com/item/software/D70020000000021

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, let’s play through all of Xenoblade.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Super Mario RPG is experiencing a significant price drop, making it cost-effective.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I recommend Kowloon Curse Academy.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems you like 2D, so let’s play Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Well, unless the TV is obviously malfunctioning, it’s a hassle to replace it.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

It’s about a computer LCD monitor; I used it as it was for about two years after a few lines appeared on the side.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I recommend Caligula 2.

Fry is holding a ridiculously high discount sale until the 26th.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

Marufuusha

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

For some reason, I’m playing Fire Emblem Warriors right now, and it’s fun.

I’ve never even played Fire Emblem.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do it, noita.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m using a plasma TV to play Switch too, and I have no issues at all.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

With the money to buy a switch, buy a TV.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

With the money to buy a Switch, just buy a TV instead…

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>64

The TV you can get for the price of a Switch is really disappointing.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you haven’t needed it until now, wouldn’t it be better to wait for 2?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Our TV is a Trinitron!

The damper line is proof of quality.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>67

How are you connecting…?

There are no CRT models that come with HDMI, right?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s enough to just buy a TV that has a clear malfunction…

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If it hasn’t been necessary until now, I don’t think we need a second one either.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think 2 was compatible.

Whether I can buy it or not is another question.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I don’t understand why people buy a Switch first, even though I have software I want and will buy the hardware that can run it; it’s not like I’ll miss the opportunity to buy it if I wait.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

If you don’t buy it when you can, you never know when you’ll be able to buy it again.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

My cousin, who was a researcher in a defeated technology…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

What are you going to do if you don’t buy it when you want it?

You only live once.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

That said, if it’s used now, it’s cheap and can be bought with a lighthearted attitude.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

Knowing the old liquid crystal technology, I am often impressed that this became the mainstream for TVs.

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>79

It was something I used after compromising a lot, you know.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

Using it for a long time just makes the image quality… worse and worse…

It’s interesting that there are quite a few people who think that digital TVs will be the same way.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Zelda Xenoblade Unicorn Overlord and Paranomast were interesting.

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

If there’s a game you want to play right away before the release of the sequel, isn’t it unnecessary to force yourself to wait for it?

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The remake of Romancing SaGa 2 is interesting.

This has been the most enjoyable RPG lately.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

It was a good remake, wasn’t it?

I’ve done it multiple times.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s always a possibility that something like Duel Princess, where the release is immediately followed by a distribution halt, could happen…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to Switch actions, Astral Chain comes to mind.

The action part is interesting.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Our OLED has been threatened that it would burn in like a plasma screen, but even if I fall asleep, it doesn’t burn in at all.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>87

Continuous operation at high brightness like 1000 nits in HDR can cause burn-in.

On the other hand, for organic EL displays like the OLED Switch, when using HDR, you don’t have to worry about burn-in if you operate it continuously for several months in SDR mode.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

If I buy it used and sell it when the second one comes out, the difference would be around 10,000 yen, right?

It’s not expensive at all as an experience to enjoy the game of 1 by the time it reaches 2.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if it’s going to be as crazy with used items flowing around like with DS.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The color of plasma is nice, isn’t it?

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

When my plasma TV breaks, I want to replace it with an IPS LCD TV, but it just won’t break.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was as hot as the heating from my parents’ plasma TV.

The electricity bill must have been really high.

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Is it around 20,000 yen for a used one now?

It depends on your finances, but isn’t it a price you can buy relatively easily?

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

We’ve been using a plasma TV for 7 years and haven’t had any problems at all.

It’s more memorable when I’m just watching TV normally.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

Should I wait until the two (versions) are out, or should I look for and buy the current EL model, which will probably become really cheap?

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Our plasma TV had a limited number of colors and the gradation was rough.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s around 20,000 yen, it’s not worth the trouble of holding back for months…

It will also serve as a stopgap until 2 becomes available and easier to obtain.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what game I was planning to play…

What caught your interest?

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>100

I am attracted to the new Sonic Wings release…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

Twenty thousand yen may not be a cheap purchase.

I think the ease of play and the abundance of software for the Switch are worth buying without waiting for the second one.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not uncommon for blockbuster games that sold like crazy to have ridiculous discounts.

If you can’t manage that on a PC, I think it’s perfectly fine to buy it now and use it as a bridge until the second one.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since it was just announced, the release will probably be much later, so just go ahead and buy it.
