I actually had a major issue with my particular copy of that controller. The down directional sometimes activated the left and right direction, and I couldn't figure out why, even after taking it apart.
Did anyone else ever have that problem?

I've never had that issue with either of the two I own (and I use them as much as I can since I hate the gamepad with a passion, and I use them on my Shield TV and laptop as well).

Did you guys fully charge your unit and joy-cons before using? These joy-cons are taking forever.

Yep noticed that, too. Seems a bit odd.

Anyone have their Switch connected Wired? If so, what Lan to USB adapter did you use? While my Switch is 1 foot away, I get full bars for connection on my 5g signal, but the diagnosis only is reporting a download speed of about 8-10 while my Xbox One, PC show 200+ download speed.
I did- deleted the mexican account after buying shovel knight, which resulted in the game no longer launching. So I re-added the account, and all was well.

I bought the following on Saturday and got it on Sunday. It works.

It's under users, turn skip selection on.
Deleting the other account will prevent any games you purchased from working.

I cannot get enough Breath of the Wild. I am absolutely in love with the build of the tablet. I also have found that I am not bothered at all by the grip that comes with the system.
get fast rmx on there!

Just tried playing Blaster Master Zero with my Pro controller with the system docked and it looks like it doesn't support it yet.
They are working on a patch for the us release.

These joycons seem like they should be charged by now. The bars have been full for a long time, but in green, and with a lightning bolt next to them, though the system finished charging long ago.
I feel like an idiot. Where is skip selection? I've got 3 profiles now and I don't see it.
Ehh idk, I've never enjoyed games like Wipeout and I was told its not like F Zero.

Perfect height, perfect amount of resistance.
The X1 controller has been my favorite up to this point and I'm shocked that the Pro controller has surpassed it. I thought I'd play my Switch mostly in handheld mode, but the comfort of the Pro controller has single-handedly made me play more in docked mode then I originally anticipated.
Its just so. Damn. Good.
I just created another account, it won't let you use that option if you have more then one account credit (which kinda makes sense if you think about it).
I have not noticed this?
Eh, it feels like you should be able to designate a default account to skip all that nonsense.

This annoys the crap out of me. I removed the JP account because of it, so I'm hoping that as more US news filters in, then JP news will be pushed out and won't repopulate.
Yeah. I only downloaded demos on the Japanese store thankfully. I'm going to keep it there.

I got this holder for my Switch (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MCZEUGD/?tag=neogaf0e-20) but I for the life of me cannot take off the back screw.. does anyone have this or something similar help me out? I don't want to end up braking it.
Select the game on the home screen, press -/+, My Nintendo Rewards.
I noticed that the Japanese Switch news-stream seemed to confirm that the Smartphone App is coming in the summer - https://techraptor.net/content/official-nintendo-switch-smartphone-app-given-summer-release-window
Has anyone else mentioned this? If not, this might need its own thread. I don't think I can make threads myself quite yet.

Is it normal for one or both joycons to have a slight 'play' when docked to the tablet? I wouldn't say it's a wiggle, but if I apply pressure there is a tiny bit of give. I think it was designed to prevent breaks but anyone else have any insight?
It doesn't wobble or anything, just something I noticed when picking it up a certain way.

Same. Oh well :S
I wasn't clear but I meant if it tracks some unique code assigned to every game cartridge or some similar function.

Sorry for asking but I don't feel like digging through this giant thread. Is anybody else having issues with the WiFi? Specifically, when I have it docked it eventually disconnects during sleep mode, and refuses to connect again when I start it up until I restart the system, requiring me to physically remove it from the dock since Nintendo, in it's wisdom, decided to not give you the option to restart when docked. Any comments or solutions?
I guess I have big hands but Jesus those tiny controllers suck, especially the right one. Pro is worth it.
Just got mine and I already HATE the controller, either used as a portable or in the group. The buttons are too small for my hands. I feel trapped by it.
(And I can't afford the Pro controller right now.

Need some help guys. Friend just picked up his Switch and can't get it to connect to the TV. He has a Samsung Smart TV. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
That's kinda vague. What's the problem? You just plug the Dock in, and erm.... put the Switch on it.
WiFi quality is spotty in general. If you are using 5Ghz, it's really, really, really bad, even in the same room, in my experience. 2.4Ghz seems to be actually usable, but it's not a great signal either.

Have you tried the HDMI cable that came bundled with the Switch?

Having the same problem :/
I honestly really fucking love this system.
I started having joycon connectivity issues while playing zelda though 😐 major latency and sometimes missing inputs. Faded in and out a couple times. That and potential scratches from docking have me a little nervous
But I still love the system anyways. Big fan of the hardware and UI, and have faith that Nintendo will flesh it out further. Zelda and the switch both feel so much more "modern" than past nintendo output

Without any more context it sounds like you're being paranoid. Do you have a video of the wiggle you experience?

I've done nothing but set-up, downloading, and charging (joy-cons have been charging for hours even though they appeared to be 3/4 out of the box?), but I definitely feel a little bit of flex on the joy-cons. I assume that's fairly normal.
