Mine fit snug and are not loose, but if I try I can get them to wiggle some. However, if I just hold tablet and shake It, the joy cons are not loose enough to rattle on their own.

Not as severe as this, but a good idea: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=07qmXG8Jc7c
I just saw on Reddit, seems to be a design choice to prevent breaking the joycons in case the console drops and hits just right.
Nintendo is actively discouraging headsets when docked. No jacks on Joycons or Pro Controller. No bluetooth support. Voice chat on smartphone. They MUST be different! Unique Selling Point! Rofl.

Mine will flex backwards a bit when i am holding it.

Thanks guys, that's more of what I was thinking people might say as well. Just a check. New-console-paranoia perhaps.

Mine doesn't have any give at all. I was actually shaking the system by the joycons to show a coworker how sturdy it is.
I did notice when I first put it together out of the box that my left joycon is slightly uneven with the switch itself, compared to the right one which is perfectly flush. It has started to bother me quite a bit, since I can feel it while holding it naturally.

If you think about how the joycons attach to the tablet, does that seem like an unreasonable amount of give, given the pressure being exerted?
You're being paranoid.

This is fucking dumb. I use headsets on all my systems at night so as not to wake my daughter. I'm sure Nintendo saved a dollar a unit removing it though so I'm glad they had a few hundred thousand more in the bank!
I'm sorry if this has been answered somewhere in the last 100 pages but anyone having issues trying to transfer their Mii from the WiiU to Switch?? The owner (me) shows up with the amiibo on WiiU and n3DS, but says "There is no Mii registered to this amiibo" on the Switch. Anyway around this issue??

Silly question but how do you turn the system completely off while the Switch is docked? I know how to turn it off when using it out of the dock but when I place the turned off(completely off, not in sleep mode) Switch in the dock it automatically starts up. I then try and power it completely off but I cannot move the cursor so my only option is to put it in sleep mode. Hopefully I'm making a little sense, its been a bit annoying.

I did the transfer using an amiibo with no issues whatsoever. Are you absolutely positive that you registered the Mii you want brought over as the Creator on your Wii U or N3DS first? I followed this video and the process worked flawlessly:

To anyone looking for a good powerbank for the Switch, I looked up the measurements for the 20100mAh Ravpower USB C portable charger, and it should fit in the accessories section of a Switch case. (It's 3" x 6.5"). It won't arrive until later this week, but I'm confident that it will be sufficient. Plus it's on sale.

Do it Blizz. Do it now.
Actually kinda surprised they didn't have Hearthstone ready at launch.
lol I watched that video right before posting in here. Not workin for me ):
Edit!!: Interesting, I had to erase the amiibo data. Set it up again, and it transferred flawlessly. Success!!
I've seen a lot of people complaining about it. Might be normal or could be a problem with some launch units. We'll see once newly manufactured units come out post-launch.
Yeah, it sucks. Same thing with the 3DS. I just use the speakers because they are louder.
Omg, I want to bring the switch to my barber tomorrow. He'd get a legit kick out of it.
The connectivity between the tablet and the docking station was iffy for me last night. It wouldn't charge the console unless I tilt the docking station at a certain angle. After fiddling around with it a bit it seems to be ok again when I let the docking station sit flat on my shelf. Anyone having this problem? Hoping it was a one-off thing...

I really wish there were a setting to prevent the Switch from waking up from sleep when you take it out of the dock
Diablo and Hearthstone would be brilliant

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Why? Just curious.

Just wondering has Nintendo got all their devs working on switch, or are they split with the 3DS? I thought that was the point of the switch.
Turning it off would do that.
There have been some statements made to the effect that they are still going to be developing for the 3DS and don't intend to merge development. We'll see how that changes in a year or so.

Amazon finally delivered it today and I've been playing Zelda for a few hours. I'm really liking it so far. As long as Nintendo can get some good software on it, this thing is going to be a hit. This is what the Wii U should have been.

I found a lone Pro Controller at Meijer today and scooped it up, and I must say it's a great controller, I was totally happy with the joy-cons in the grip but this brings it to a whole other level.

I'm trying to figure out the details of how the Switch's account system/digital licenses work, in hopes of making a thread compiling all of it, and I need the help of another Switch owner. If anyone's willing to help me out, PM me. Thanks!

Mine aren't as solid as I expected, but it's not an unreasonable amount of flex. I think it's supposed to feel like that.
Looks like people have used these on 3DS's to good effect.

Is it just me or the Neon Red color is way different than what is on the boxes?

So is anything releasing this week aside from Blaster Master?
I can't seem to find a place that has all release dates in one organized list.

So whats looking like the go to carry case? Looking at amazon almost all the cases seem to be sold out for a very long time. Want to take it to Pax East this weekend but not sure if I should without a case.

Usually the Switch wakes up due to me accidentally slightly raising the Switch out of the dock while trying to remove the joycons, and it'll get really confused about controller sync in the half-removed controllers state. Almost always I have to resync the controllers as a result and about half the time some weird shit happens where it doesn't Just Work

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I'll just casually repost my question...
It's kinda inconsistent as to when it does it, but it almost seems like an HDMI handshake issue... which, given how shitty HDMI tends to be, wouldn't surprise me.

is there no way to put a passcode on your profile to stop others from using it?
Mine has it too, and I have seen it in reviews. The controllers are plastic in metal rails attached to the console via screws.
There's probably no way around it outside of designing the whole thing out of metal

Anyone have a 4K Samsung KS8000? The hdmi input on the tv automatically changes to which ever console powers on. The Switch has been randomly kicking me off whatever hdmi input I am currently using while still being off/sleep mode. Anyone else have a problem with this?

Did I miss some news that Blizzard is even aware of the Switch's existence? Because if you're surprised that any Blizzard software would appear on modern Nintendo hardware then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Hey guys any recommendation on cases and screen protectors?

I have found it happens to me when i dock it after putting it in sleep mode while in handheld mode. Only fix i have found is after i dock it turn it back on in tv mode and then re put it back into sleep mode its a hassle but its the only fix i have found.

Sigh. HDMI handshake issues abound. Fuck HDMI. I hate it.
The amfilm glass protector is the best reviewed and seems to be having the least issues
The RDS Deluxe Traveler Case is easily the best case available. This guy did a good review of it.
You can find the case in Wal-Mart, Target, etc pretty easily. The protector is gonna be a bit.
