which others? i need that zelda fix man
It will be part of the Day-1 update. Currently it's indeed not possible.
Yes i read that. The reviewer i know said that while playing zelda, the switch was getting really hot in docked mode and that it didn't perform as well as in handheld mode (he said galaxy note 7 hot but that's a joke obviously).
I told him he might have a faulty fan in his dock (edit : i thought the dock had a fan) that would cause the console to overheat and make the performance drop but he told me he talked to another reviewer with the exact same problem.
He'll probably talk about it in his zelda preview tomorrow.
Sounds like duckroll will be happy.
Isn't the activity log an app that defaults on the home screen? How did you never come across it at least incidentally?
The dock doesn't have a fan.
This has been said to be in the day one update.
Here's Nintendo-Difference's unboxing and UI/OS video, which I did. Note that it is in French though :

I honestly couldn't say as I looked through most of the previews back to back. But they're even more vague than that. Just seems like everyone is digging it.

I was talking about this yesterday... It completely does suck you in. Someone said "yeah I didn't even notice the bezel" and at that point I realized I hadn't even thought of it during my playtime (at the Chicago event).
I know there are a ton of valid concerns out there, but this is something I feel confident saying is not an issue
He probably does what I do. Throw everything that's not the settings menu in a folder to never to be seen again
I have a Z5 premium (4K screen)
Not sure why people have taken exception to my comment, I am just saying the switch is not for me at the moment. The lack of software being the big issue at this point, all the other points I raised just add to the decision.
I am the type of person the buys new tech (especially gaming) straight away but I just cannot get excited about the product.
It's a portable device. They can easily drive near a McDonald's or something and test it out.
Link?

Yeah, the bezel seems to be an aesthetic issue more than anything; during gameplay when it actually matters I doubt it'll be a problem at all.
90+ metacritic here we come!

I don't ever really see it drop out of sync in my case; rather, it simply misses button presses and inputs. Fingers crossed it is somehow (magically) a software-correctable problem.
Jeez dat Zelda spoiler in the pics of the USGamer's preview lol
The console captures raw pictures at the native resolution of each game, right? Did anyone test this?
Anyway the impression i've seen about the console itself are mostly good. Not particularly worried about how brightness fares outdoor, as i'm not gonna play this when i'm out, and i don't care about the missing features at D1 (some of them simply don't interest me at all, others will come when they're ready). Love the look and snappiness of the OS, but really all i need is to play Zelda in its best form, having Fast RMX, Shovel Knight and Bomberman at launch is a nice extra.

Thanks. My expectations with the switch are fair, it's my new nintendo machine and the concept is cool. Some nuisances that can happen (joy-con disconnection, lack of features at launch) are expected to me. I am buying it because i want to play zelda and the overall games announced excites me. But the number one thing for me, even more than the switch, is zelda, i want this game to be great so bad and it's a relief to read that people are loving it.

They are definitely supported.
FTFY
720p is a stupid complaint. It's that way for battery life purposes. Same reason your phone drops to 1080p most of the time.
In the linked documents it said captures were only in 720p. we should ask around if this is still true
We pointed out that your comment was ignorant and contradictory on the 720p and the battery life. If you don't want to discuss, don't post ; otherwise just answer.

So has anybody tried pressing +/- on an empty tile on the home screen?
Does it increase/decrease the number of tiles similar to the 3DS?

I haven't heard anything. Also, you likely won't feel any warmth, since any heat is on the system and you're holding the Joy-Cons.
It save states essentially. I came right back to where I was. It seems to treat it just like normal Sleep Mode.
Took a hot second, but it does indeed!
There is currently no pop-up browser. Nintendo says it'll be coming in the update. Right now, the Switch can't connect at Starbucks or McDonald's.
No comment!
I have not seen an option for Bluetooth connections. So my guess is they aren't supported.
Correct, I couldn't find it.
Oh i missed it. Yeah we definitely need some testing about that, it's normal if it captures at 720p when undocked but captures in docked mode need to be at native res.
One more brightness test under the sun, courtesy of GameXplain.

Seems to be expected as any other mobile devices.

Ya that. I may have seen it at some point but then completely forgot about it. I just load up the games and play them.

Sounds rushed then, wonder what the system would have been like if it had released in 2016 like they originally planned to.
I have no doubt they'd never aim at 4K at all, even if this wasn't a hybrid. Even if they had something to compete with PS4 Pro they'd keep 1080p the maximum for games. It's getting a bit pointless to discuss this 'what if?' though, Nintendo has chosen what they think is best for them. Also his complaint is about the screen. The console itself isn't limited to 720p. No dedicated gaming device was going to have a portable screen that does better.
I wonder my-self, especially when it comes to the lineup. I think 2017 was inevitable the whole time.
Its is not ignorant its just an opinion. You don't have to agree that is fine.
"Why does my video game console only play video games"
Jason and Emily are big fans of Nintendo, but they are also honest. I'm sure the core fans aren't bothered by any of this news. but Ninty needs to sell this thing to people outside of that bubble too, doesn't seem like a good start.
I'm more interested in the question "how does person claim to be journalist and get a Switch"
Doesn't do a thing

I'm sure those things will be added by the end of the year. Assuming of course the softish launch rumors are true.

The lack of games is more important to people than the lack of secondary features. I'd rather have a flawless OS and updates in the coming months than an OS with flaws but full of features that don't work properly.

No virtual console is disappointing, but I'm hoping they'll let me re-download games I've already downloaded eventually so I'll wait. Really don't care much about the rest.

Yeah this has been discussed extensively the last couple of pages
Basically, every gaming OS starts off a little basic. I'm just glad that this OS is off to a great start re: usability, ease of use and speed.

It's a soft launch. See my earlier post.

They are just focusing on the hardcore Nintendo fans with this launch.

Yeah... I'm of two minds about this one. I agree with Jason in that Switch is not a product for everyone at launch. Diehard fans (like myself) will buy in right away, but otherwise it seems best to wait.
Thankfully in regards to the overall success of the Switch, it seems like that's Nintendo's plan. Just about all of the big features and games that are missing on day one should be around by fall. That's their best shot at big sales too. I just hope they can keep a decent momentum up until then.
Better than the Engadget (?) article made me believe
Ignorant because you ignore facts and don't seem to see that what you say is contradictory and sure don't want to discuss the content of these facts. Too bad for you.
