Now it actually is Friday. Here’s the news.
- Third Party Charger Bricking Switches
- Classic Digs with Mario Odyssey Costumes
Switch a Brick
Now that the Nintendo Switch has been out a while, a number of third-party chargers have circulated the market. The problem is that many users are reporting that these chargers are bricking their systems. After some in-depth analysis by Nathan K., a freelance hardware engineering and product development expert, we find out that it’s because the Switch is full of USB-C protocol errors. While some brands are safe, you cant trust a non-Nintendo product to reliably charge your system or dock. Be warned Switch owners.
Odyssey Costumes
Nintendo announced two new costumes for Super Mario Odyssey today, a Baseball outfit, and a Satellaview suit. The baseball outfit looks standard. but I noticed it has the same colors as the Seattle Mariners, a team that Nintendo used to own. The Satellaview is actually a reference to a space suit Mario wore in a commercial for a satellite attachment to the Super Nintendo that released in 1995. Deep Digs.
That’s all for this week. I look forward to some weekend recuperation. I do have something planned for April Fools day, however. Be sure to check back on Monday for a weekend wrap up. Otherwise, have a great night!
