I found this:
Looks like you can use a $40 transmitter that plugs into the audio jack on the switch and it will let you communicate with any bluetooth device.
Ooooh. Good. The only articles I found before asking here indicated that only certain devices worked with the switch via Bluetooth. I think I have a Bluetooth dongle I got for my PC th at Iāll try on my Switch.
$30 you say? Do I really need yet another copy of FF XII? It will likely just sit there for me as well as my Switch backlog has gotten ridiculous (all those damn sales!).
Ok, youāve convinced me. Justification: Xbox One copy I have is digital, this one will be physical (for the collection). But thatās enough, now! No, I will not get Luigiās Mansion 3, I will not do itā¦
Those things have been around for a while but Iāve never seen one with rave reviews. They always introduce some lag in the audio and depending on what youāre playing that can be a real problem.

Iāve seen positive impressions of this one, which is designed specifically for the Switch: https://www.genkithings.com/products/genki-audio
Havenāt tested myself though.

I tried Genki Audio but ended up returning it. My bluetooth headphones donāt support Aptx-LL or Aptx and Genki Audio depends on those codecs for decent audio latency.
Instead, Iāve been using this for a while and it works pretty well. Still a little latency as to be expected over bluetooth, but unless youāre playing a rhythm game or something it works fine:

Iām using the Creative BT-W2 with a USB-C adapter and it works great.
That said, if I was buying one today Iād get this Homespot one, as the form factorās a much better fit for the switch.
Just found out (thanks to Animal Crossing) that you can save a maximum of 100 videos to internal memory, and 1000 videos to the memory card. I still have plenty of space available, but thatās the hard limit. It seems arbitrary and frankly unnecessary to place an artificial cap.
Any Bluetooth audio transmitter that connects to the headphone jack is going to add a noticeable amount of audio lag. They also need their own power source typically. Not recommended.
I bought the Genki one, which connects via the USB-C connector. It would constantly reset when I used the pass-through USB-C port with a USB-C HDMI dock to do video out to a TV when I travel. Dumped it.
I am using this now:
Works well enough. If you really want low latency you need AptX Bluetooth headphones though, which is an alternate audio codec not supported by the AirPods Pro unfortunately.
A friend gifted me the Wonderful 101, and told me he had a blast on the PS4.
Well, the Switch version might be something else. For a start, I experienced definitive lag in my inputs, which felt really weird coming from the people who gave Bayonetta.
The drawing is obnoxious, but you get somewhat around it quicker than not. The map half-assed design was weird, with a fixed camera done to troll you a bit.
Now to get to the really weird.
First, there is no pause button, as far as I can tell. But I couldnāt figure out how to use items either, so itās probably an oversight on my part. Still well, in playing about 2 hours, couldnāt figure it.
The game uses heavily a dual system of dodge and protection move it doesnāt explain (uh, why not), but the problem is that your opponents attack using moves you have to use either/or tactics to counter. And itās predetermined. Some attacks you canāt protect from; others you cannot escape from. Nothing tells you what it is, excepting practicing (and losing) the first few times you encounter a new enemy.
Finally, I played only a little, but boy, the glitches. They are pretty much anywhere, once you reload a saved game inside a level. It really feels unfinished.
So, in short, donāt rush to buy on launch is my advice. Itās a shame, because the lore and presentation of the game is lovely.
Yesssss!
Loved the Paper Mario games back in the day. Would still love a proper Super Mario RPG sequel, but they are lovely in their own right.
I love Paper Mario! Played it on the Wii. Such a lovely game.
The trailer looks very interesting! Probably a day 1 purchase for me.
Iām just sitting here pissy at the Metroid tease. Probably just me.
This probably wonāt make it high enough on my wish list to actually buy and play it, but thatās a gorgeous looking game.
Please be good, please be good!
I really like the look of this, especially with Peach being the bad guy and Bowser being kidnapped. I also really hope this is good!
Hoping that they get the Thousand Year Door vibe back. Closest Nintendo gets to subverting the Mushroom Kingdom.
Cannot figure out whether that circular combat track will be interesting or not.
I hope they can get past the problem where you collect more and more powerful items, but never use them because youāre waiting for that one big fight when you actually need them. Or maybe thatās just a āmeā problem.
Thatās an RPG problem. Iāve never known one that surmounts it without entirely eschewing the idea of consumable resources. Which, frankly, Iād be all for.
The latter Paper Mario games exacerbated it by making your special moves use up consumable items rather than replenishing MP, from what I understand. What an utterly bizarre decision.
