Probably, enough people seemed to be upset about it. I'm surprised it was in the UI all along and Nintendo never mentioned it. No, wait, I'm not surprised at all.

They dont ship it to my country
.wounder if it will help with the scratching while getting it out from the docking.
I think so yeah.
That's great.
Means I can get rid of the shitty parental controls app i installed just for time tracking, lol.

I don't think it will fit AT all with the case on. the dock is a snug fit
I think it's worthy of a thread.
I've been using the Parental Control app workaround.

Urgh, I left it in sleep mode in my case with no game running in the background and I just went to take it out now and it was warm. Also battery depleted by like 20, it was on 94 when I put it in 30 mins ago.
I really don't like that.

Weird, which case do you have? Is it just the switch being turned on and left on by accident?

Have to send my dock in to Nintendo, but I forgot to ask if I need to send in the AC adapter with it D:
Would anyone know if I do? Probably going to have to call again and hope someone tells me the right answer

The official Nintendo case. Nah, I'm very very careful with my devices, I definitely put it in sleep before putting it in the case. I think any button press (including the analogue button) turns it on though, so maybe it got pressed by accident.
If that is the case, that seems like silly design :/ will just be putting my Switch in complete off mode while in the case from now on.

Yeah, seems like LG TVs also do that, just like Samsungs. Again, it has nothing to do with HDMI-CEC, it's just something the TV decides to do by itself when it detects input. My TV does not have this "feature", it only switches inputs when it explicitly gets an HDMI-CEC signal telling it too. Devices that don't support CEC cannot auto-switch inputs on my TV. On yours I bet they can. So, the Switch does NOT send a "switch input" control signal in these cases, but it does seem to send some sort of (video?) signal, and that's what's causing this issue with some TVs. Unfortunately it seems like these TV makers don't allow you to turn this "feature" off.
I believe only the Home button should wake it up from sleep mode. That's what it says before you put it to sleep at least. But I'm not 100% sure it's actually true.

Yeah, I figured that too. I just called and while the guy sounded a little unsure, he said that if I wasn't told to send it in, I shouldn't have to.
Just tested this on my charging switch.
Only button that woke it was the Home button.

On the phone with support, I was asked what game I'm looking forward to the most. Is that something the support always asks? I told him Super Mario Odyssey

Question
I purchased a Switch for my daughter(she ducking loves it). We created a new Nintendo account for her, and everything is linked and all that. Now, I created a profile(Dad) on her Switch, without linking my existing Nintendo account that's linked to my 3DS and Wii U. I plan to buy my own Switch in a few months, and linking my Nintendo account to my future Switch.
Now finally the question. Am I able to have my existing Nintendo account on both Switch units, and if so, am I able to share purchases?
Like, can I purchase Shovel Knight using my profile on my daughters Switch and later when I get my own, download the game onto my new Switch, while keeping it on my daughters?

Ok, well that's very very weird. I definitely, 100% made sure it was in sleep before putting it in the case.

You guys weren't kidding about the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo, I don't even need to buy the game anymore.
Finally got my Pro controller today and I'm really loving the feel of it.
Everything has this soft smooth feeling, the sticks and buttons feel like silk when you interact wit it.
The joycon grip works fine and does its thing, but the pro is another level.
Totally worth the price, peasants can whine about a few dollars all they want.
Second only to the Xbone Elite.

Can anyone provide me a contact for letting Nintendo know my RGB setting is stuck and won't change from limited?

HI guys, got some questions here
how to know if the Switch and Joy Con are actually charging or fully charged when I am using the dock to charge them? because there is no lit to let me know if it's charging or not, also do I need to put the Switch in specific mode like sleeping mode or it will charge with the Joy Con even if I turned it off? and of course I am referring to charging them using the dock
Thanks in advance

Go to Controllers on the main menu, battery icon is below each. When they are connected to the Switch, it will keep them topped up. Same with the charging grip.

I think he means whether there is an indicator on the controllers or switch itself, which I don't think there is. Although the "charging battery" symbol on the screen is visible for a moment when its first docked, I don't known if there's a shortcut to see if it's fully charged.

Thanks Bro, so when the Nintendo Switch docked and the Joy Con attached in the tablet, they all will be charged together even if the system turned off?

I'm enjoying Bomberman, though it's hard. Many seem to be saying good things about Fast RMX, and Snipperclips is good fun if you have someone to play it with.
Just started playing FastRMX (futuristic racing game). It's pretty awesome. Great for a quick fix between sessions of Zelda.

Do you have an SO or someone to play local co-op with? Then I implore you to buy Snipperclips, it's one of the best co-op puzzle games I've played.
I know, I meant the sound files. I don't care as much about 3.5mm vs HDMI if the sound files are compressed.

It's just weird that no other device has ever done this without me activating it. PS4, cable box, AppleTV, NES classic, nothing. There's something about the Switch that makes this happen even in sleep mode.
how the actual fuck do i contact nintendo support? Is there a chat or a way to email? I want to see about replacing my dock. It just keeps redirecting me around to these FAQs that arent helpful. When the switch is docked, after an hour or so the screen will start blinking continuously with a battery indicator. It does this every 2 seconds until i undock and redock. The console keeps a full charge though, and doesn't do this when connected straight to the AC adapter.

What do you mean? Its bad?
Agreed, my SO and I absolutely love this game. We've bust out laughing so many times. What a great game.

Fast RMX, Snipperclips, and Shovel Knight are all incredible
Bomberman is solid if you are a fan of the series
Woot, can't wait to see Zelda as my first 100+ hours of gameplay, on Wii U it was Monster Hunter 3.

I just watched the ign review on the switch. They were saying that the switch is weaker than the WiiU in some ways. Is this true?

No, the system does not charge them when turned off. Only on/sleep.

So I ordered myself a switch + zelda after winning the lottery.
I still think that the device is overpriced and it needs to drop 1/3rd to get where its worth it.
But since winning the lottery, the price doesnt matter as much.

Damn. I know my story isn't unique, but I wish I could purchase a Switch. I can't find one anywhere.
lol what
I ordered mine on Play-Asia, didn't arrive yet but I never had any problem with them.
A bunch of GAFers ordered theirs on Amazon.jp as well, so that's a case of 'it's your choice because both are solid.''.
You can only have your account active on one Switch. Once you activate your account on your second Switch you have to deactive your account on your daughters Switch with the result that any downloaded games tied to your account are no longer playable.

Thanks, that mean I wasted 5 hours for nothing, because it was turned off!
