First of all, about the game console
The so-called game machine can be simply understood as a machine that needs to be connected to a TV to play games. The most familiar game console after 80 s and 90 s is the red and white machine (red and white machine doesn't know? Where's the bully? Since the development of game consoles, the market has been three-legged, namely Sony's ps4, Microsoft's xbox one and Nintendo's Switch. Today we will come back to talk about Nintendo's Switch.
Second, the exchange brief introduction
Switch is a new generation game console released by Nintendo in March 20 17. Its full name is Nintendo switch, or NS for short. The machine adopts the breakthrough design of the host computer and the PDA, including a game host, two detachable game handles, a base connected to the TV and some related accessories, thus realizing three game modes.
Like other game consoles, Switch games also have two forms: digital version and physical version. The digital version needs to be purchased and downloaded from Nintendo's game store eshop, while the physical version uses Nintendo's favorite cassette instead of CD.
Third, the Switch is on sale.
At present, Switch * * *, one is the original version at the time of listing, the other is the battery life enhanced version launched on August 30th, 20 19, and the third is the simplified version of Switch Lite released on September 20th, 20 19. There is almost no difference in appearance between the enhanced switch and the old version, and the performance and heat dissipation are slightly improved, mainly because the endurance in the handheld mode has been greatly improved, and the price is basically the same.
Switch Lite, on the other hand, is a pure handheld model, with a non-detachable handle and a smaller screen. However, it is smaller in shape, better in key texture, more diverse in color matching, more convenient to carry and cheaper in price, so it has also won the support of many players.
Four, several common versions
There are roughly several versions of switch currently on sale, including Bank of China, Hong Kong Bank, Japanese version and European version. As the Bank of China is a special existence, I will introduce it later and talk about other versions first. The so-called Hong Kong version, Japanese version and European version refer to the switchboard hosts sold in the corresponding regions. The hardware configuration, software usage and network functions of each version are exactly the same, and the only difference is the plug shape. Because all switch mainframes are designed with wide voltage, the only thing that domestic users should care about is whether to add a conversion plug.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Special host of Bank of China.
It was not until February 4th, 2065438+2009, more than two years after the release of switch, that Nintendo switch officially entered the China market through the agent of Tencent, and the model was an enhanced version. Compared with other versions of the mainframe, users of Bank of China have obtained the official warranty service of 1 year, but ...
Due to the restrictions of domestic policies, the mainframe of Bank of China is very different from the mainframe of foreign versions. The most important difference is the "lock service".
To put it simply, the mainframe of the Bank of China can only log in to the domestic eshop store to buy digital games approved and sold by the mainland authorities, and cannot log in to the foreign service eshop store to buy games. Due to relevant policies, the number of games that can be audited is very small. So far, there are only three games in the national service, namely "New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Edition", "Super Mario: Odyssey" and "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition".
As for the physical cassette, the host computer of the Bank of China can use the foreign cassette normally and update the game normally. However, due to the inability to log in to the foreign service, it is impossible to purchase the game DLC and interact with foreign service users online.
However, the national costume is not without its merits. The national service network link is stable and the game download speed is fast. In addition, there is no additional charge for the online connection of the National Bank version of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition. If you want to connect the foreign version of switch, you need to purchase the membership service of switch online first.
Sixth, about cracking.
In the early days of the release of switch, due to hardware vulnerabilities, the first batch of switch hosts were quickly cracked by related cracking teams. According to this situation, Nintendo replaced some hardware in the subsequent production process, which made the cracked machine limited to batches produced before 2065438+June 2008. So there are almost no brand-new cracking models on the market at present. Although there are still some second-hand cracked models on salted fish, the color quality is difficult to guarantee and the purchase risk is high.
In February of this year, the famous switch cracking team Team Xecuter(TX) announced that it was possible to crack Switch Lite and the long-lived version of Switch by hardware decoding, but due to the global epidemic, the release was delayed. The Xecuter team claimed that this time it was a hard break. The long-life version and Lite version need to be disassembled and fixed, while the old version of Switch can still be plugged in.
However, after the cracker is cracked, it can't be connected to the internet. Once connected to the network, connected to the Nintendo ban machine, the network function can no longer be used. Moreover, cracking behavior is a kind of behavior divorced from the law, which is also very unfavorable to the development of the whole game industry. Therefore, it is not recommended that you buy a crack money.
Seven, matters needing attention
1, the switch host only has 32GB of storage space, so buying an extra TF card has become the standard behavior of most players. At present, the capacity of a single game ranges from one or two GB to thirty or forty GB, so it is suggested that the capacity of TF card should be at least 128GB.
2. The switch host comes with a handle grip, which can combine two small handles into a big handle, but the handle can't be compared with a professional gamepad after all, so Nintendo has introduced a handle product called switch pro, if you use Switch frequently. Players who have requirements for the handle feel can buy it.
3. Due to design defects and other reasons, the handle rocker of the switch often appears a phenomenon called "drift" after being used for a long time, that is, the characters in the game will still move in one direction without touching the handle rocker. This phenomenon belongs to the hardware damage of the handle, depending on the personal use, but most players will have this problem after long-term use. If this happens to the players of Bank of China during the one-year warranty period, congratulations, and find the after-sales service directly. If this happens to other versions of the player, you can only admit that you are unlucky. Players with strong hands-on ability can try to repair it themselves, and players who don't want to bother can only buy another handle.
4. Many games have online functions. If you want to play online battles on switch, you need to purchase the membership service of switch online. At present, the mainframe of China Bank can be connected without members.
