No. One of my small disappointments with the Switch, as much as I love it. And odd, because every 3DS has one, and the Switch is portable.

You sure this isn't fake?
If they won't do that, I think the ifixit tear down suggested the plastic screen should be a relatively simple DIY swap if you can find a spare part
Mine do and I hate it. It's so loud, like a loud smartphone vibrating on a glass table or something.
The sooner the better. I actually haven't played Minecraft since, gosh, the Alpha days? I'd love a portable version of it that had the PS4/Xbox One size levels. Seems like the Switch certainly has enough RAM to support it.

Superbomberman R isn't exactly wowing me, so I thought I'd trade it in at Gamestop, but their website shows no trade in values for Switch games. Are they not taking them in for trade for some reason?
Funny, I had noticed marks on the contacts of my Zelda cartridge when I just opened it today. My BotW SE finally arrived from Amazon, sealed, and I just noticed shinier streaks on the cartridge contacts as if someone had tested it in a system. No big, everything was sealed so I know it's not a used copy.
Just sell it on the GAF buy/sell thread. You'll get more money, and give someone here a chance to try the game for less than retail.

HELLO PLANET EARTH. WE HAVE MADE CONTACT FROM THE XANTAR SECTOR OF PLANETARY REGION 5-GH
No, but for some reason the joy-con grip does
You can maybe try giving the switch a fixed IP adress in the range of your wifi network. I've had devices in the past that reacted less good on DHCP with different AP's.
Afaik you need to open the eshop once on the console to access it in the browser.
I just checked: I can buy games online.

How I feel when applying a screen protector:
THERE ARE ALWAYS A HANDFUL OF DUST SPECS CREATING BUBBLES
Yep, I hate it. I've never managed it properly, not once in my life. That's why I'm super reluctant to get one for my Switch, even though I know I sort of "need" it. I don't use them on phones, but then again those have Gorilla Glass and all that, so they don't really scratch under normal circumstances.
I'd recommend locking your doors so your neighbors can't just waltz in and play your Switch.
Okay thanks. I kinda thought already that might be the case. Still :-(
Heh yeah, like the xbox store checker. Would be neat.
Not sure, but have you tried the Switch parental control app for Android? I know nothing about it, but I just know it exists.
Otherwise, depending on your kids age, make sure they have their own accounts setup on the Switch and know how to use them. Use X to close out of your games when you're done, and keep the user selection prompt on when starting games. Those things should help protect saves from other people using them accidentally. Intentional use, not sure if there's a way yet.
I'm not sure which thread exactly to post this in, but the Indivisible folks have a survey on Twitter with a lot of questions about Switch. They've posted on GAF about being in discussions with their publisher about a Switch version; if they get a good response on the survey we might see it happen. Game looks really neat.

I saw Master Blaster in Switch news shortly after midnight. I'm in the UK
Thanks, i will try.
As much as I love the Wiimote controls for the Prime games, holy shit playing Prime on a portable sounds amazing and I don't know why I never considered that before.
I am guessing you are talking about Zelda atm. There is an option in the parental controls app to restrict games with a certain, though you can't block individual titles. Perhaps that works as a workaround for the moment?
A major revelation in that "real-life mini-game" for me was a guide posted by one of the screen protector brands on YouTube, where they recommended humidifying a room first (like a hot shower in a bathroom), which would then weigh down all free dust in the air. I think I have quite serious doubts about the safety of exposing electronics to all that steam - lol - but apparently it did actually work, had success with it several times in a row myself. Probably still just a horrible idea - I'm sure it triggered all the liquid indicators in the iDevices I did it to, lol.How I feel when applying a screen protector:

So I understand tempered glass will be extremely unlikely to form bubbles - have never tried those myself, but I guess this Switch plastic screen is the most obvious opportunity yet.
Yeah but it is Nintendo we are talking here so doubt they will do it.
What is :-( ? You are making no sense.. it is painful for you that you have to setup an e-shop account on a completely new console you don't have yet before you can start buying and downloading games? People these days :-O
And even if you could have bought it online beforehand, you would have saved like 2 minutes of time.. guess that is a good reason to be sad?!?
You are putting more energy into this than me.

Anyone know of some good, low-key places in grabbing a Pro Controller?
What 4 player local games are out or coming out soon? Tempted to buy some joycons but I only have bomberman and snipperclips (and snipperclips seems more like a 2 player game - the 'fighting' mode seems a bit stupid)
Wondering if it is better to wait for Mario Kart. Will splatoon have any splitscreen local MP?

4 player Snipperclips has been a hoot. Both puzzle and mini games modes.

As long as your TV supports HDMI CEC, you're good to go.
Yessss well done. I have this exact setup in the middle of my bed and playing Zelda flat on my back is a thing of wonder
I had a weird issue yesterday. I woke my Switch up from sleep mode (docked) and the output on my tv was 480p! I went into the menu and switched it to automatic and back to 1080p, but I still got 480p. Did a sleep/restart and it went back to 1080. Still weird though.
I even use it when I have the Switch in portable mode in-house. I love that controller and can't let it go. Charged it up for the second time last night, good for another 40 hours lol.
Was this already known : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPDgOQyST0E&feature=youtu.be&t=283
The part about the next generation engine is comming to the switch.
Also the same engine used with uncharted 4. So the gfx could be improved (alot) on the switch for the next games?

Ugh, SMD64. Put a warning before the links.
Uncharted 4 uses a Naughty Dog's in-house engine and I doubt that will come close to anything Switch.
It's absurd. I turned it off completely in Fast RMX it was that annoying.
