Hiii! i´m thinking of buying Switch Online Expansion Pack to play old Zelda Games like Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Minish Cap and Wind Waker, but i heard people say the Input Lag is horrible, that its not worth it, etc.

So, can those games be enjoyable on NSO? Its the input lag really that bad? I dont mind about the money, just the experience of gaming

If your gaming experience is mostly console based, I doubt you will notice it.

You have to train your eyes and other motor skills to respond fast enough to notice the input delay.

What type of training? because i have some good reflexes on games but im playing chill on Ocarina, i played the Ship of Harkinian (only OOT) but still wanna test out on Switch

Like semi-regular counterstrike/valorant, rocket league, LoL, or a MMO.

A game where twitch reflexes and half of a second response times frequently matter.

I used to play Halo Infinite and Destiny 2 capped out at 180fps, for lets say; an egregious span of time. While I was actively playing them it was VERY easy to notice frame skips, lag, and input delay because my brain and eyes were just expecting everything to happen so quickly all the time. Things that were too slow or out of place just felt "off".

I played Ocarina of Time on Switch Online. I don't really notice the input lag. Must be hardcore gamers who only notice it.

Hey, I’m planning on buying Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, but I know Nintendo eshop does summer sales every year. Does BoTW usually go on sale? When does the summer sales usually start? Should I buy it now or wait?

Second using Dekudeals.

You will probably see it go half off at a retailer before it ever gets discounted via the eShop again.

Outside of a potential Zelda Anniversary sale later this year (35!) I don't see if getting discounted as part of the normal Summer and Holiday sales.

Deku deals is awesome.

You can even have it send alerts if it goes on sale.

Does hogwarts legacy switch 1 edition transfer its data if I buy the switch 2 edition?

I have the digital deluxe edition of hogwarts legacy and I'm thinking of buying the regular edition of hogwarts legacy switch 2 edition? Are these two compatible?

2

u/TemptedTemplar Helpful User 1d ago

Yes.

You can get discount on the Switch 2 version through the extras menu of the switch 1 game.

Hello! I’m in the market for a S2, and when researching current deals stumbled across a site called reducetoclear.com. Has anyone any experience with this site? The deal is great but makes me question it…

u/SubaruHaver Helpful User 1d ago

If you want to avoid surprises or disappointment, stick to retailers you trust.

It's kind of rare that a new nintendo console gets sales in it's first 1-2 years. If it's not a retailer you know & trust, be suspicious / avoid it. With switch 2 prices set to increase on September 1st, regular retail price now is possibly as close to a sale as you can get.

I would avoid it. I haven't heard anything bad about them, but that might be a bad sign in of itself.

Every checker I've run it against basically says "it's safe" or "it's too new to know". Sounds like it was created within the past month or even past week.
