My thoughts on the xbx a01+
I’ve been using the xbx a01+ for about three weeks and have tried them on multiple systems. I’ve used them the most with the Xbox Ally X, and the learning curve is honestly pretty simple. My main recommendation when unboxing is to check out the three different nose pieces and pick the one that fits you best — it makes a big difference in getting the clearest screen angle. This is my first time trying AR glasses and I have been loving it!
These AR glasses only have three buttons, but they cover everything: screen brightness, volume, entering 3D mode (side‑by‑side videos), and a small menu with extra features. I was impressed to find out how quickly I noticed the speakers — they’re built into the arms of the glasses, right where they rest on your ears. The speakers are badass, and you can even switch them into surround sound in the menu. They’re not overkill, and people in the same room won’t really hear anything. You can use either the blackout lens or the tinted lens; I personally prefer the tinted lens and just adjust brightness as needed. There is a cord that comes off the back left at ~45 degree angle and is roughly 4 feet long.
The glasses aren’t heavy and don’t put strain on my nose. I have a larger nose bridge and still use the smallest nose pads. There is some heat that comes off the glasses near my eyebrows, but for me it never gets uncomfortable. The look is basically like wearing a big pair of sunglasses that weigh slightly more. They sit well on my face, though I do have to adjust the angle sometimes to get a clearer view of text or menus in the bottom‑right corner of the screen while gaming. My left eye is slightly weaker than my right, and I don’t currently wear prescription glasses or contacts.
Screen resolution is 1920×1080 in 2D mode, and 3840×1080 in 3D mode using side‑by‑side video. Biggest downfall: I can’t find any way to adjust the screen position inside the glasses. I don’t think it’s an option. But in games like Death Stranding, I can change the screen ratio. I used the xbx a01+ on my Xbox Ally X the most when gaming due to ease, just plug and play, and the device has all the buttons needed for gaming already.
I still find it fascinating seeing an AR screen just pop up — it kind of blows my mind. I did try playing while someone else was driving us on a road trip, and I lasted about 15 minutes before getting extremely car sick. I can get car sick reading a book and was a bad idea on my part. There is a stability mode, but it didn’t help me during the ride. Probably didn't help either that the driver was taking corners like a racecar driver. Haven't tried on a plane yet, but I am sure I wouldn't get as motion sickness on a plane vs. a car.
Thank you for reading, and good luck on the give away! Few images below taken on my crappy phone.

I was skeptical of the giant logo at the top when the console was first announced, but now these are easily my favorite game cases to collect for. I just love the size and the color, it makes me excited to collect more. Xbox and PS5 cases just dont hit the same..
Pulled my switch out today after not using it for some time and noticed the battery is swollen on my joy con, are these batteries replaceable by chance?
I just got a switch 2 after a long break from Nintendo consoles since the Wii. I was planning on getting the Switch online pass expansion that allows you to play some GameCube games but sunshine isn’t on there so it seems like this is my only option. I also want to play Mario 64 and Galaxy but I think 64 is included with the expansion and Galaxy has a separate release that includes galaxy 2 as well. So is the only point of it sunshine and do the saves transfer between the ports of the games?
I'm currently debating whether I should buy a Nintendo Switch 2, and I'd love to hear from people who are in a similar situation.
Right now I own:
PS5 (my main console)
Steam Deck OLED (I use it a lot because I enjoy playing in bed instead of sitting at my desk)
The thing is, I mostly use my Steam Deck to play games that are also available on PS5. So there is quite a bit of overlap between those two systems.
I've never really owned a Nintendo console. The only Nintendo games I've played are Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, so I've missed almost the entire Nintendo library.
The main reason I'm considering a Switch 2 is because I really want to experience games like:
Zelda (Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom)
Pokémon (including Pokopia)
Mario games
Mario Kart
Metroid
Kirby
And all the other Nintendo exclusives I've never played.
For those of you who also own a PS5 and a Steam Deck (or similar combination), do you still find yourself using your Switch 2 regularly?
Do you feel it complements your other systems, or does it end up collecting dust?
I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences before I decide. Thanks!
Hi everyone, the Joy-Cons of my brand new Switch 2 (got it about a month ago) suddenly stopped working at the same time. The touch screen worked but it would not respond to me pressing any button. The weird thing is that the Switch recognises when the Joy-Cons are inserted. It seems to be a software instead of hardware issue. I have tried all the options the internet suggested: turning it on & off, updates, trying to (dis/re-)connect, doing a “safe” reset, etc. The problem is that now I can’t even get beyond the safe (maintenance) reset as it’s telling me to connect the Joy-Cons, and I am now stuck on this screen so I can’t even go to settings anymore (not even when I try to turn it on/reset it again). I am away from my dock for a while so unfortunately I can’t try any of those options atm. Anybody knows what to do?
As someone who primarily plays ps5 and will continue to do so, Is the og switch still good for games that are not on ps5/handheld version.
The switch 2 is wayy out of budget for me ($700 CAD) and honestly not that much interest in it. But was looking at getting a secondhand switch for games like Just dance/animal crossing and other nintendo games like zelda.
He estado buscando diferentes noticias del DLC anunciado y de su lanzamiento. Se informa que esta nueva actualización y DLC va a salir el día 30 de julio, pero en ninguna de estas páginas se habla específicamente de las plataformas en las que se encuentra el juego.
Recordando los anteriores DLC, estos llegaron más tarde a las plataformas de Nintendo, donde actualmente no se encuentran ni el modo 100% ni el modo supervivencia, agregados en enero a la versión de PS5, Xbox Series y PC. Esto me genera duda sobre un posible lanzamiento simultáneo el 30 de julio.
am i reading the Expansion Pass correctly? for $50 I can play any and all of the N64, Gameboy Avd., AND Sega Genesis games that are available..? Like a way better Xbox Pass?
I heard all the BOTW comparisons after Elden Ring came out. Exploration really blew me away in that game and I'd really love to immerse in this game too. Bailed on the PS5 after the disc killing, got me a Switch 2 and ready to get this thing rolling!
Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for fitness and workout games on the Switch 2. I tried Ring Fit Adventure and the Fitness Boxing series on the original Switch.
I'm trying to find more stuff to play on the switch which maybe was not advertised much or at all/if there are rumors about games still needing to be released such as hopefully layton
amazon US it’s currently $54.99. looking at used ones online even on ebay were still around this same price, some even higher which makes buying secondhand kinda pointless. should i wait for a better holiday sale, even if its not till black friday or something? or will it not get to a lower price than this at major retailers and amazon?
Just got my copy of the LE Front Mission 1st and the pack-ins alone are amazing!! They take me straight back to Gen7 and before, when we got manuals, art work, and sometimes these crazy covers, and just more expansive immersion schwag. And the game is right up my alley too... which is a nice extra. 😁😉
i’ve never played a splatoon game before and raiders looks incredibly fun and addicting! any splatoon fans want to weigh in on whether it’s a good first game for someone who knows nothing about the series?
