With that Pokemon Stars rumor. I wonder if one of the reasons that saves can't be transferred is to prevent item/pokemon duplication.

After having it in my hands and playing with it... It's a damn portable. But it's a 2027 portable. K think the word has negative connotations which is why people are avoiding it... Which is fair, this thing is in every way a capable home console, but when you realize the brains of it fit in your hands.. the dock is just a hollow peice of plastic... You realize... Holy shit it's actually a portable!
I dunno if I'm describing that right. I have a 3ds and used it like 10 times max and thought portables just weren't for me... Switch proves me wrong.

I wonder if the Rds ones they currently have available for preorder will ship before the regular ones
Ive only been playing rmx during my commute. I'd feel horrible if I inadvertently spoiled Zelda for someone.
Something I noticed today.
So I created a second account (Japan) to download Dragon Quest Heroes Demo. Since creating that account, even when logged in under my North American account the "Game News" section now lists all news for North America and Japan (with the Japanese news in Japanese). Its become really messy and I'm guessing will be even messier as things ramp up and there is more to talk about. Am I missing something or is this something we just have to deal with?

is everyone else's Switch LCD screen slightly off center? It's strange, and it doesn't affect anything, but mine seems placed/glued slightly to the left. Like the pixels are right touching the mask on the left, but on the right there is a pixel or two gap. Seemed odd. no dead/stuck pixels for me however, which is nice.

I see what your normally would expect with the setting, either I get a washed out image or a darkened one.
so just got my switch. ordered it friday from best buy. no game because i order zelda special edition from toysrus and won't be here till wednesday. so i'm setting it up and got it connected to the internet and did the system update but everytime i go to eshop it gives an error. even setting up the parental control app did but got that to work.can't get eshop to load. tried internet test and get an error there. i'm in the same room as the modem.
Did you do a full reset after the update?
I doubt it would be licensed, but I don't see any reason why another company couldn't make one.
It's not like the dock is all that complicated.
Guess I'll ask this here - is there any kind of data written to the Switch carts, or are they actually read-only? I ask because I had to buy a standard copy of Zelda to play on launch day thanks to Amazon, and with my Master Edition finally arriving today I was curious if I could just swap carts and continue playing my save so the standard copy could be given on to someone else.

If someone is looking over your shoulder being nosey, spoil away. Teach them to mind their own bidness.

So they're totally interchangable separate from all save data then like disc-based games?
Great.
The carts are read only, the save data is stored to your console.
Anyone 'inadvertently' reading your switch and somehow getting spoiled deserves it. This is actually insane.

Any confirmations on good alternatives to the official Nintendo AC adapter for the dock?
I'm a little confused trying to find out what's compatible or not

If the pro controller didn't have motion controls built in for gyro aiming it'd be tough for me to choose. But it does.
Pro controller is god-tier. This is as someone who loves the joycons, too.
Go the Settings, System and then Initialize.
The very last option is initialize console. That should do a factory reset on the system. Sadly, if you have any saved data, it'll get erased (another reason why we need the option to transfer data), but it might fix your issue.
This menu is also where you go to format an SD card.

I don't play Zelda at home either in case someone is peeping through my windows and sees a spoiler.
Don't exist yet. Only the official Nintendo charger works with the dock and TV output.

I don't play the game at all so I don't spoil it for myself.

I only play in the dead of night in case anyone nearby is a powerful telepath and they happen to read my mind and see spoilers.

Definitely looking forward to picking one of these up at some point. Can't justify it yet since I play almost exclusively in handheld mode.

Joy cons in tabletop mode with the separated controllers feels so amazing.
I can't wait to play an Ace Attorney or some other visual novels with this set up.

It's like that with the PS4. I can see the screenshots my brother, a different account, has taken while on my own.
I'm at school now and after class I'm going to try this out in the library. I'll look everyone in the eyes and say, "Zelda on the go bitches."

Needs an image of a transcendent glowing brain
Amazon finally delivered my original launch day Switch, but they sent a neon instead of the grey I ordered. What the hell is with them and this launch? Doesn't matter though; I picked up a grey unit yesterday and my Pro controller arrived today too. I probably won't touch the joycons again - this thing is legit.

Thanks. That's crazy though..I wonder why that is? You'd think the included USB c cable and a strong enough USB block would work.

No, but it's worth noting the overall Switch UI is rendered at 720p.
That doesn't make the streamers correct, but it may be where some of the confusion is coming from.

Interesting that you can't use any other AC Adapter with the dock, though I know you can use a phone charger that uses USB-C with it undocked, but after an hour or so of play while plugged in (maybe two? I didn't count) my system's battery was at 50%. I don't know if using the official adapter would have made any difference though.
I think it just depends on the game, so definitely hybrid.
Zelda plays well as a portable and a console game, but I much prefer to play it on the tv. The size of the world and the amount of detail just play better on a large screen for me.
Now with snipperclips I had the Switch out on the kickstand and while people were playing that some other friends were playing the vive mirrored on my tv and it was absolutely fantastic that way. I can see hanging out playing Snipperclips in tablet mode while listening to music.
Runner 3 isn't out yet but I loved Runner 2 on the Wii U controller so I can see myself playing that in mostly portable
Mode.

Yes, the official adapter can charge while playing undocked. You can find 3rd party power bricks that can do this as well.
What is the power rating of your brick? I believe it needs to be min. 5V/2.4A to charge while playing.
I'm looking at SD cards and trying to make a decision. How important are read/write speeds on these cards? It seems like it'd be worth it to buy a faster class of card, especially if you're going mostly digital. However I also just became acquainted with how expensive some of these cards are. I originally assumed I would be buying some massive card, but now I'm looking more in the 200+ GB range.
I guess what I'm asking is, if a card has a r/w speed that's 2x faster than another card, would you expect to see digital games load twice as fast? Do we know if there's a cap on the read speed of the SD card reader Nintendo went with?

That's the best part not only can you be uber accurate with the analog but you can make the fine adjustment in tune so well with your natural aim. The pro controller is a god tier controller!
that didn't help. now i'm stuck at account sign in.

I can't figure out exactly why, but goddamn I love the sticks on the Pro Controller so much. They just feel so good for some reason.
200GB Sandisk MicroSD Card
I own two of these cards, one for a Sony Walkman and the other for my Switch. I've had the one for my Walkman since July and it's worked great. This is pretty much the best GB to dollar ratio for an SD card for the Switch.
Is it not letting you create an account?

Haven't looked through all of this thread so I don't know if it was mentioned, but does anyone else's game slot not close properly? The little cover of mine always pokes out and won't stay down. Is there any way to fix this?
Cover yourself with a blanket when you play. Problem solved.

XBOX - RECORD ME LOVING DOWN MY WOMAN GOOD
Bought one at Target today so can't wait to get home from work to try it. Not a fan of the joycons as primary controllers.
