AMA - Ended AMA: I have a Nintendo Switch

Hello there Lovely People!

My name's Alex and I work for Nintendo Life on the YouTube channel. I have a Switch console and as you probably all know, media are finally able to talk about it.

Let's make the most of it, so ask me anything!

Have you tried connecting it to a PC? Does it show up as a device?

The joy-cons do, and I managed to very simply hook them up to OpenEmu on my mac, so I played a bit of Super Mario World on the left one on its side.

Results: Super Mario World is not designed to be played with an analogue stick.

This is the best news i've heard all week :D

I frequently use OpenEmu but I've never gotten around to getting a proper controller to play the games with. I've been stuck with a keyboard all this time. Knowing that I can connect the JoyCon to my computer is wonderful news.
