APril 1st is a Saturday, never has there been a Direct on a Saturday before, pinch, punch, ahha!

Got my Switch carry case yesterday from Play-Asia; Nice and shiny in all its red glory. The quality of the thing is tremendous. Just the zip quality is worth the asking price, awesome zip on the thing. Holds 6 game cards, main unit, and the joycons held separately in the top half of the case. The bottom hole allows about 2mm of additional width, so the Switch main console can fit in easily without any fuss, but due to that the unit can slide around 2mm back and forth. I'll tuck a cloth down the side , even though the case is hard and protective. I like the game holding flap that comes down to protect the screen as well. All round a thoroughly well made product by professionals.

Maybe, but I can't find any definitive evidence anywhere.

Apparently not. Most USB A type chargers, for example an iPod one, run at 5Volts. The Switch is more power hungry, and someone on a tech site said at max. in the dock it's eating 39Volts. Most of the time it'll be OK with a 15V plug, but it's better to get an official one just in case, or read up about it.

Try what I did. Hold the power button down for about 4 seconds, where you'll get a prompt for sleep mode or power settings and power down fully. Leave it for 30 seconds and turn it back on. That should do the job.

Well, I don't know what the hell is up with my Switch. It has been fine since buying day one, but since Friday morning it has been unable to connect to any internet. It throws up an error that suggests the DNS cannot resolve. Did all the bits and pieces that Nintendo's support suggest, and still nothing (all my other devices, 3DS, New 3DS, Wii U, iPod Touch and PC have no problem connecting). So, took the Switch to another 2 known WiFi networks, and same problem. Tried my wife's mobile's 4G and still the same. Sent an email to Nintendo, and will have to wait on it, but what a pain in the arse during the Splatoon 2 Testfire. Gutted. Well after missing the first two Testfire sessions. I'll be hitting the 3rd. A full power down of my Switch unit, and an obvious restart has re-established the connection. Thanks to a Reddit user who came across the same issue.

Typical timing. I'm having a failure to connect online all day today (over 8 hours) with my Switch. Tried 3 different WiFi spots and my iPod works with them all, but the Switch throws up a DNS server issue every time. Are there problems with Ninty's online today??

I'm sure this has dropped in price, but can't find out what it was before, retail copy of Puyo Puyo Tetris now 30.85 UK Pounds at Base; here

There's about 20 levels in the 4 player mode. Half the amount of the two player mode. The 4 player levels tend to be larger and more intricate in their layout than the two player mode. A patient adult player can guide and help younger ones. You could quite easily leave the 2 children do the main 2 player mode by themselves also. I'm sure they'll enjoy shouting at each other, or just end up cutting the other to smithereens. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

I second the call for Shovel Knight. If you like 2D platformers, this is a must have.

Some Wii U eShop games I've enjoyed with my son are Chariot, and Affordable Space Adventures. The latter being a particular recommendation. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk

Ahhh. That'd be it then.

I've got "a few minutes" for Snipperclips, too, even though I've put in more than 3 hours???

Is there a treasure chest available to collect in every shrine? I'm missing one from all the shrines I've been to if that's the case.

You can rotate the cogs on the left to lower the basket on the right.

I'm still watching it, it's following the comics to a high degree. There's too much filler (like you say too many episodes), e.g. that new group, the lady in charge has a weird haircut, and 3 years of a zombie apocalypse has made them forget how to speak English properly???? There's no tension anymore, Rick taking on the Gladiatorial walker was just ridiculous, he made so much hard work out of it, and that always happens to apparently raise tension, but only ever makes me frustrated at characters ineptness. Despite all this Negan and the overall thread of the story are keeping me coming back for more. (Eugene is awesome). I'm enjoying it in a kind of Saturday morning TV show way, but it should be so much more than that.
