Just put a post-it under it.
They don't have the day one update so unfortunately no previews of that.

Wasn't sure if you meant now with previews or at launch.

Not available until the day one patch which hasn't been released yet. IIRC same as the Wii U.

Dude, at least post a link to the source, too!

Hahaha, they even used the dark theme to make it extra dramatic.
That shit is grasping at straws...

Yeah, my biggest concern coming from Wii U was speed. Very pleased to see a very responsive UI, especially in a portable console.
The update isn't live yet for press. But Nintendo just said today there will be eshop download only games at launch. So the account and eshop are there at launch.
I wonder how well brightness settings work to counteract this?

where is this from...
Soft launch just sounds like a nicer way of saying undercooked. You look at full online launching in the fall, no VC at launch, a sparse lineup in the spring that looks a hell of a lot better by the fall, and other parts and it's clear they were forced to get this out by March to hit the fiscal year and make their numbers look good. That's fine, the hardcore will jump on it immediately and the more casual people should jump in in a few months. But it's pretty clear that the first 6 months of this thing is basically a beta test, so calling it undercooked is fair
No, should be ready before launch though
This is what I'm curious about too. Is there battery saving modes enabled? What are the settings, because I'm sure players can stretch that out longer with the right settings.
I can count the number of times I've seen someone on GAF profess their love for an activity log before today on no hands.
Glad I'm getting a pro controller even though I'm on team #dayonepatch for this Joycon syncing issue. I doubt it will be a long-term problem.
The rest of this sounds like standard launch stuff. Launches are seldom great.

Argh too bad but I guess they can't make miracles with the screen technology, that's the main flaw yet.

You can link to a wireless headphone?

We've known about the lack of features since the stolen unit leak.
Glad it seems to actually run really smoothly even without the day one update. Wii U left a sour impression on me and a lot of people (a friend of mine sold it after launch and never repurchased due to how broken the whole thing felt)
3DS launched in a more bare-bones manner that, while running fairly smoothly, it lacked an eShop for months.
Hope the eShop is good. Weird that we still don't know what it looks like. That also means reviewers are playing with the day 0 version of Zelda, or I'd assume so.

Saw someone criticizing outdoor use. I'm not sure who actually thought they'd be able to comfortably use the Switch outdoors thanks to the edge-to-edge (typical tablet) glossy screen and ~300 nit brightness, but of course it won't work well. The Wii U screen is resistive touch, and as such, it's got a little bit of a matte finish to it, but all tablet screens are glossy and highly reflective. We do laptop/tablet reviews professionally at Notebookcheck.net and I have yet to see one which does not.

No, channel; specifically of the 2.4ghz band, which has 11 channels. Try changing it between 1, 6, and 11 and see if the input delay clears up on any of them. Though even if it is interference, this might not fix the issue if your router isn't the source.
Sometimes I think about canceling my preorder, but it just makes no sense for me, because why wait for like a whole year to save maybe 50 bucks?

How many wifi connections can you save? Hate that it's limited to 3 on 3ds.. a freaking portable.

Is it comfortable to hold while doing #2?
Any other outlets reporting about the screen outdoors?
This could seriously make me cancel my pre-order

Hope that's the end of that nonsense...
Just cancel and get it over with if you think is worth canceling over

Anyone out there have impressions/video of connecting bluetooth headphones? Or is that another Day 1 update situation?
I didn't even know the Wii U or 3DS had it until recently, so I'm guessing nothing.

Is that a common expectation now?

Same here, the library on the PS4 until Bloodborne dropped was rough as fuck. It has been tremendous ever since and I have 0 doubts Nintendo will do that too (even though I'm not as down on the launch line-up as a lot of people are).

A few outlets have done this. It's sounding like Zelda is the real deal, providing the left half of your controller doesn't stop working during it.
A ranked list showing how many hours in total you put into each game on the system. On 3DS anyhow, Wii U version was organised by month and not very good.
You should buy a 3DS, it has a great game library and you will find out what an activity log is

The more I see about Switch, the more I realize that I am no longer the target demographic for Nintendo.

Nice, seems Nintendo really has a nice and thoughtful OS from the start this time.

Omgggg my heart.
It tracks your playtime in apps and games and gives you stats about the data. It's an OS feature.

I have hundreds of hours on my 3DS and have never used or even knew about the Activity Log :lol

What makes you say that? I'd think the Wii or Wii U would cause that more than the Switch
