You can like a thing and still be critical of it.
And you can make critical posts on NeoGAF without sounding like a huge tool.

Nintendo Switch Launch Thread: Now you're playing with power; HYBRID POWER!

It plays Zelda good
It's my new secondary console that I bought specifically for Nintendo games and so far so good

Can't really do that because the four buttons on each end are going to be in awkward places or the sticks will not be straight up and down. Design wasn't meant for it.
When you let other people's opinions and enjoyment ruin your day, you should take a really hard look at your priorities. Or should we all have the exact same perspective and opinions as you?
But my switch is perfect. Once again, not every single switch has issues. Its 2017, new technology comes out every week.. and all of these products launch with defects/ issues. There is not one product that has a perfect launch without any problems whatsoever. While you write long posts complaining, I'll be enjoying zelda while taking a dump.

You need to step away from NeoGaf for a bit man... Go outside, get a breath of fresh air, and realize that there's more to life than what Nintendo does with the game consoles.
You're arguing against a point that no one is making, we all agree that Switch needs work in some areas. We choose to discuss the good where we can, because that makes for better conversation than just complaining about what isn't there 24/7.

Wtf is the difference from a mynintendo account and Nintendo NetworkID?
Why are there two of them?

NNID is the account system, I think? My Nintendo is the new Club Nintendo.

Really hope they patch in the ability to copy saves over to the micro SD card. It just makes too much sense. The thought of losing my Zelda save is genuinely distressing lol. But that's only a potential problem in the future..the Switch launch has been amazing for me so far.

Man. I understand what you are trying to achieve with your comments, but it really just comes across like someone pissed in your cheerios.

Does it not save to SD? I've had my SD inserted since launch and my system memory is completely free with one used... I will have to check after work

Why re there friend codes...Wtf
You can't make an online ID? You're online name.is your user log in? When Splatoon 2 comes out or any other MP game will my name that appears online be my local user name? This is so weird.

Technical question, not sure if it has been asked already, sorry if that's the case.
Do we know if the Switch can actually support writable cartridges? Having all the saves locked on the system is fine for most games but it may not be optimal for others, like Pokémon (if it ever comes out on the system, that is).

says 2 left but when you put it in your cart to buy it's already gone
I assume Amazon's system just hasn't bothered updating it yet
Your nintendo account id is your online id. It is dumb that they crept friend codes in though, especially given Reggie was adamant about there not being any. Though supposedly they're adding the feature to search for users by nintendo account id. I'm just hoping they bring these updates sooner than later. What helped soothe some of the burn regarding this is that I was able to add my friends that I added in Fire Emblem Heroes with ease.
*BARF!*
The system prioritizes an SD card over the internal storage, but if you have save data on the internal storage, you can't move it to the SD card (and vice versa).
It's dumb.
They are gonna need OS updates to this thing fast. Once I'm done with Zelda, MK should be out, but one of the things I loved about a new console was just using all the new functionality, digging through menus, exploring the shop, trying out apps, etc. There's just very little of that here.

I think the main issue is that it's tied to your console, so whether it's internal or on the SD card, if your system breaks or you buy a second one your save data is tied to that original system.
Even the Wii had the ability to copy saves to SD card for transfer, I truly don't get Nintendo sometimes
(a lot of the times)
In a perfect world you can save your screenshots to a cloud service and manage them from your phone. Can you imagine?

I've never been in such a love/hate position
My plan was to finish Zelda and return it because of all these issues, but i'm in love with this hardware/concept. I'm still leaning towards keeping it because of that, but man does it feel like i'm swimming upstream without the proper armor
smfh what year is it
well, fuck, there goes any idea of returning it. lol
I'm not trying to lose my Zelda save :'(

Might as well wait until Nintendo implements the cloud saving like those developer documents said would exist later.

Save data is ONLY saved to internal storage, not the SD card. And it can't be moved either. The system will prioritize the SD card for game and dlc downloads from the eshop but not save data.

Saw a Switch + Zelda deal in a store today(Sweden). The shiny new toy idiot in me almost caved in, but I managed to resist. I've promised myself not to buy it before 3-4 games I really want is out for it.
Some people guess that it's because of how it sits against the dock rails, to prevent from scratches on the visual part of the screen.
Outside of that, I'm sure it's just a hardware limitation in terms of size of device vs power of device vs battery of device. Same reason larger bezels existed on older (and even some current) monitors and TVs.

So my friend told me that the Switch joycons, when playing on the portable mode, feel loose... and very bendable. I've only seen a few Youtube videos confirming something like this.
Is this true to any of you? I want the Switch for the portability, but I don't want the joycons to feel loose or cheap.

Tempted to buy then sell on Ebay but I'll be nice and let someone else buy them and hopefully keep it.
Ebay prices seem to be going down anyway.
They don't feel like that at all. Is your friend squeezing them harder than normal?

Will come in handy when they release a New Nintendo Switch XL and just use more of that bezel space.
Had no problem with mine.
You can't make a NNID online but you can make a Nintendo Account which is what you need for the switch.

They have a tiny bit of give to prevent breakage (and because they're removeable). Wouldn't call them loose or bendable though.

So, I bought a Switch just to try out Zelda. Probably a stupid decision on my part but well...fuck it.
Is the official case any good ? It also comes with a screen protector, is it good or should I just buy a tempered glass protector ?

In handheld mode? My joycons feel snug and secured to the console.
You can certainly "bend" them away from the main console if you pry at it like an orangutan, but in normal use they feel solidly attached.

You mean when they are attached to the system? If so, no, they are not bendable in the slightest. There was a video of some guy purposefully destroying the system to test failure points and he had to really work hard to break a joy-con off the system.

100 % go with the tempered glass. I had the PDP one initially but after changing to the amFilm tempered glass I can say it is a huge improvement.
Okay thanks, so it's not a technical/proprietary limitation and a cheaper third party dock should happen eventually. Good to know.
I'm surprised none are out yet, but I guess it's a bit more complicated than a case or a screen protector.

NNID is the old system they used for WiiU and 3DS.
Yeah, I feel like it's more forgivable on monitors though because the borders aren't flush with the screen.
In any case I can't see myself playing Zelda, 3D Mario, or multiplayer Mario Kart on this screen for any extended period of time. But I haven't actually turned the thing on yet, so we'll see. Could've sworn the Wii U gamepad had a bigger screen, but maybe not.

Is there any easy way to upload captured screenshots to somewhere other than Facebook or Twitter? I'm guessing microSD card is still the easiest way (which is a pain)?
