What are the chances servers won't be up on launch day and I won't even be able to download zelda?
The kinda funny guys seem to hate the switch but now they have frightened me by saying there is a chance this happens...

ah ok then yes. It does run great, but it definitely still has framerate dips
I expect it's just a nicely sized gap to allow easy changing of the game cards without the dock getting in the way.
At first I though it was something fancy too, but I'm more inclined to believe it's simple ergonomics.

Might be wrong but I don't think Pro Controller uses USB C, it charges in the dock, not the unit itself.
Like many others have pointed out, I was referring to MSRP. While you can readily get controllers for 40-ish dollars NOW, THREE YEARS in, you could not get them for much below MSRP that first year.
Show me an online retailer receipt of getting a controller for 40-50 in the first 6 months of either PS4 or Xbox One.
They will be slow, thats for sure but I doubt they will be down.

Pro Controller does use USB-C. It comes with an A to C cable that can be plugged into the USB ports on the dock.

I actually had tempered expectations for Zelda for a long time but people seem to be bursting at the seams to talk about it.
Maybe they really nailed open-world Zelda.

We have had four people say this already. Really looking forward to the overall feeling in the previews tomorrow!

It's wrong .
The parental control is used only to see the playing time in progress and limit the session of the children, the software does not record any time play on the time.

I'm not making a new thread for this question:
Are we ever going to be able to buy the dock separately?

Are you talking about the Joy-Cons? Those charge on the Switch itself, but the Pro Controller uses a USB-C cable to charge.
EDIT: Whoa.

My God Zelda as in a bad thing or good thing???
Here's the thing about Switch:
I need that Zelda.
Between the portability, the killer app launch title and the solid first party output during the launch year, I've got a feeling that I'm going to get more enjoyment out of my first year with Switch, than with any gaming platform in a long time.

Aha nah I thought the Pro Controller used Mini USB like the Wii U Pro Controller but I'm gladly mistaken.
Come on man it is pretty obvious

Don't they already have a price for it?

He's contrasting it to the system's launch issues so he clearly means good thing.
I'm liking the general buzz in these teases so far., but how opinion seems to be swaying tomorrow will be the real indicator as to whether the game will be great or not. I can't wait.

IPhone USB C? There is no iPhone with USB type c.
I doubt we'll see any sort of serious push for this device from Nintendo until the Holidays. I think they wanted to start to build some hype and get it in the hands of the enthusiasts but wont target the mass-population until fall.
For better or worse, we're the beta testers.
0 chances, we know of download only titles day1. Just today we got the confermation for Shovel Knight day1.
If you have any time can you (or anyone else reviewing it) try outputting from the switch to the tv at 720p (there should be an option in the settings)?
There is (like third hand) stuff going around italian forums that if you do that the framerate is stable, but it makes little sense, shouldnt the switch just render at 900p and downscale it to 720p after?

It seems like a crazy thing for them to overlook during development, I imagine the day 1 patch will sort things out.

What do you mean tomorrow? I thought Zelda embargo was up Mar 1, which is next week.

Has Nintendo said if they're planning to use that sliver of screen that's poking up out of the dock for notifications or is that just to give you a grip to pull the device out?
I think the dock is that way as a design solution to a couple of user experience problems. Because the Switch peeks out from the dock you can easily see whether or not the picture has been handed over to the TV. This would help a good bit with troubleshooting.
Second I the fact that the screen peeks out a bit makes it super obvious to a first time how the whole thing works. The first time you look at it, you know that a bit comes out and you know exactly how to do it. Similarly, I think they went for a two tone approach with the Joycons because it makes it visually clear what parts are detachable.
The Switch is pretty complicated with a bunch of moving parts, so anything Nintendo can do to help people immediately grok how it works is a priority for them.
I think that's also why in most promotional images of the Switch you always see a hand interacting with it, underscoring the idea that the hardware is transformable.
I think it's a pretty good example of how smart design can communicate a product's nature to users.
Zelda previews are up tomorrow, and whilst we won't get a Metacritic score they'll give us a pretty good indication as to what different sites might think of it.

I switched over to Verizon since they offer unlimited plans again and finally upgraded my old Nexus 5 to a Google Pixel. Didn't realize the phone used USB-C, so the plus side is I now have extra wall charges and car charger.
Tomorrow we get Zelda previews, March 2nd we get reviews.
Really? iPhone SE sure looks the same, but maybe a different size. Guess I'll have to buy one then.
