Don't think so. Mine doesn't light up either. I think it's just an aesthetic touch that it looks like that. Or, maybe it's just not enabled in firmware yet.

Dock?
I have something covering, so I can't say for sure to be honest
I take it everywhere, even on a flight I had
I want to say dock, but can't say. Possibly tho, I've been careful and have a paper in between

Does anyone else's fan kick into high gear when booting up Zelda, primarily in the Zora Domain?
It gets warm then cools down, but is weird to have it occur. Was during
Anyone else get warm? And the battery went from 95 down to 42% mighty quick. Expected, but only took about an hour and 45 minutes, lowest brightness.

pre Ruta fight with all the rain and at night time mostly.

also for a first dungeon slash boss fight I loved it, I used too many arrows though haha.
I got to test another Switch unit today and my Joy-Con are definitely busted. Mine can be moved to an alarming degree while docked to the tablet. They even make a cracking noise. Tried a friend's Switch and his Joy-Con were rock solid. I contacted Amazon France (I'm in Germany) about this issue. Let's see what they'll have to say about it.

I've seen some people use electrical tape to tighten up the connection, but it sounds like yours are an extreme case.
That seems too quick for lowest brightness, especially if you had airplane mode on as well.
I have over 60 hours in zelda, 90% in handheld and I have only heard the fan spin up 3 times, and all were brief.
Maybe the games your friends are playing?
Anyone know what is the different between the gray activity and the blue activity?

Looks to be stuff recently added to your play activity.

yeah the stand is obnoxious
i don't get why it isn't centered either. if you are on any surface that is slightly angled it tips over on one side.
I started to notice this too but i think it's normal. A durability test video i saw somewhere here reported the same thing. But although it was flimsy the rail/lock is very hard to break off
None of my friends have bought World of Goo
I don't think so, look at my friend's profile:
BOTW is blue while he bought it on 3rd Mar.

I still don't get why people ever thought this wasn't the case

Why is the wifi so shitty on this thing? To get 3 bars I have to place it right next to my router.
Fortunately USB ethernet adapters are only $10 on amazon but still. I guess it's a good thing I plan on using this mostly as a home console.

Hmm, I'm wondering if your friends Zelda activity turned blue after the 10 day mark that it first started showing how many hours they played?
In that sense, it was something new added to the activity.
I'm not sure, just throwing out possible explanations.
Ah, I see. Thank you for your post. Seems like a few people have reported similar issues. Mine gets loud from time to time but it's not constant.

When you add someone as your "Best Friend" what exactly is the change?
I don't know really.
You can show your activity to: anyone, friends or best friends.
I think this is the only benefit of "Best Friends" at this moment.
Because several people previously sent Switches in and received replacements without their save data restored to the new unit. I guess you missed those.

Anyone have issues with joycon battery life?
If I'm playing primarily in TV mode, I imagine I wouldn't put them on the switch unless I had to charge them.
I have 2 ps4s controllers, one charges until the one I'm using dies, then it swaps.
Would 2 sets of joy cons make sense for the type of rotation, but also the added benefit of having a total of 4 controllers for Mario kart?

I know I want a racer, but not feeling the super Sci if one either.
Other people mentioned they didn't have their saves transferred so I was ready to start Zelda over.
Luckily they did. I just had to redownload the patch and other digital games. (Icons were still there though)
Even my Japanese account was moved.

I'm in a ghetto version of the Switch commercial:
Taking a road trip and got two then three player Puyo Puyo Tetris going. Love this thing.
That does look like you block the vents though D:
I was going to wait until Virtual Console arrived, but I decided to create a Japanese Nintendo Account and download the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo. Man, they could have sold this demo as an Express version of the game for 5 bucks or something and it would have been totally worth it.
Then I tried using my Chilean credit card on the Japanese eShop and surprisingly, it went through, and it also worked before on the American eShop. Nice to see I don't have to worry about buying online codes anymore.

This was in the IGN article so I guess cloud saves are coming soon

Uh no it doesn't. It's sandwiched between the head rest and the rest of the chair, so it's completely open other than the two metal poles connecting the two.
I imagine that it might in a future firmware update, to behave like the WiiU's home button - lights up when there are messages or updates.
Or maybe it's just a dumb button without a light.
Heh, kinda did. The headrest is pretty much pushed down holding it in, at first it was covering it but rotated it to the side and uncovered them while playing. Realized the vents were covered before after I did that though. Another plus is that someone had a USB-C cable/charger and had it charging too, so that rotated position worked great for leaving the vent and USB port open.
Yes. The charger goes directly into the console.
Ty sir.
There is a usb c at the bottom of the switch. The same port the dock connects to.

Oh hey, that's exactly what I did.
But I thought the cloud icon was just me needing the update again.

I'm starting to think I'd have rather had dual 3DS style thumbsliders instead of the just-too-small thumbsticks.
Really starting to be an issue playing Zelda. No where near enough travel for the precision I'd prefer.
May become a bigger issue when the first big FPS or 3D platformer hits.

Not had any issues myself. I'd personally say the sticks are infinitely better than the sliders.

...hate me...
Ah yeah I can see it. Still would like for a 3rd party to make something like that, just for some occasions.
That could be sweet as well.

You want to play an FPS with that?
