Yep, Zelda previews tomorrow.
Very positive.
This JoyCon issue seems to be the only negative I can find. Even then there are ways around it at the moment by sitting closer it seems, making sure the joycons are aimed in the direction of the Switch (separate or in the grip) while docked, using the system in hand held mode or using the pro controller while docked. So one negative issue, that admittedly could be a major one for some people if not addressed (we're waiting on this), but everything else appears to be positive to very positive.
This of course is being over looked in favor of focusing on the negative but that's always the case, especially on gaf at times. I wish the positives were getting more attention. It's not like the hopefully temporary Joycon issue is impeding people from playing the system and enjoying it.

Assuming this was already posted...
Assuming this is a pallet shipping to a retailer or a retailer getting their pallets ready? Best Buy maybe? If so, I wonder if this is an indication of the Pro Controller to Switch system ratio at retailers on launch?

That would be a lot of lost revenue, wouldnt it?

Seems about right for Nintendo.

Less than 12 hours for Zelda!
That issue used to disappear when the Ouya was wired. I think this is actually a good point. Maybe the wireless / searching for network has some detrimental effect with the joycons? Sounds crazy, but wonder what the outcome would be with WIFI disabled.

Probably. I don't think anyone knows for sure. Hopefully a journalist can pop in here and give us an answer.

That... makes a lot of sense.

Naw. They can make achievements to where you beat a game and you get a theme for that game.
That would be pretty cool. That would mean a LOT of them though. Though I guess they'd want to sell them the way they do on the 3DS. Granted you have to pay for the Amiibo but there are so many out there right now they'd be giving away themes for free if they added them or dealing with a negative reaction if they were just for new amiibo going forward while ignoring the ones out there.

This would be good.
Man, you've totally lost me here. How is Splatoon any different from the hundreds of shooters on PS4 and XB1 that use triggers?

How tall is the dock plus switch inside? I'm trying to figure out where I'll put this thing.

4 pro controllers for every ~45 Switch's?
I hope not. Was planning to pick one up launch day.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
4 for every 49... it this is Best Buy, it would be interesting considering how long they had the Pro Controller available for preorder online. Also, the initial batch of Gray and Neon went quick. It stayed up a while for both the second run through. In both cases, in theory, Best Buy might have a lions share for some reason. Remains to be seen though.
I think you're exaggerating in your head just how long it takes to press an analog trigger. You even mentioned dodging on analog triggers in Bayonetta as not being ideal, but as someone who played the 360 version for over a hundred hours, I can tell you that it works just fine.
The Time magazine preview mentions that since the dock and system itself are so light, they can get knocked over pretty easily and that some good velcro might be a good option for some people. Definitely doing that since my cat knocks shit over all the time. I wish Nintendo had put some weight into the base of the dock, especially since it's so expensive on its own to buy a second one.
The receiver for the Steam controller is a big heavy chunk of metal, and it makes it some much easier to keep it in one spot.

Looks like Neon is going to be a hard one to get.
I think he's just stating why for many games digital triggers are preferable, not that they would be broken with analog triggers. it's just a personal preference, is all, whereas some people are making it out to be this inferior vs. superior thing.

Honesty wuestion, what's the point of digital triggers outside of racing sims?
EDIT: *analog triggers
read the post reychu made in that quote chain, it's just a preference for games where the triggers act as binary buttons especially ones that require quick response time

Sorry if this has been answered, I haven't seen it all day.
Is it possible to capture video from the switch with a USB C to HDMI cable in portable mode?

Why didn't you pre-order one?
A web applet will pop up for log in. That will come to the (day 1?) update according to Mike Williams of USgamer.
I didn't think I wanted one right away until I heard about the potential joy con defect. I will be sitting 10ft away from my TV and hopefully playing freehand Wii style, so I'm in the category of people who will have joy con drop outs.
Your preview just sold me on the neon Switch back again! I was at nothing of going back to gray but nope, neon looks simple cool and stylish af. Great read!
