Just one song, that dumb Naenae song.

Received my Orzly glass screen cover and case today.
Both are neat, screen protector was easy to put. It's just a little smaller than the screen, but that might be because manufactural variances (tolerances etc.). It looks fine though, I placed it so it is even in every side.
That Orzly is thinner than the amfilm one, and still it feels pretty high! Of course I will get used to it.
The case is nice, has space for eight games and a little pocket. It also has a padded cover for the screen, so games and the stuff you keep in the pocket won't meddle with your screen. It is pretty sturdy and feels nice. Zippers move easily and look sturdy.
I ordered those from Amazon France, and can heartily recommend them both to everyone. You can't get amfilm ones from Europe, it seems (I think they was sold out or flat out couldn't find, don't remember).

I hemmed and hawed through 2 Pro Controller restocks at various stores and when I finally said "OK, time to pull the trigger" there are no Pro Controllers to be found.

Out of curiosity, did the box for your Pro controller have EUR printed on the top?
not sure. I got it from amazon
Is the Hori stand the stand people are getting?

Received my Switch last night with BotW. First Nintendo console since the NES so I'm excited to see what the VC brings.
Planning on getting Snipperclips to play with my wife. Are there any other good coop games we should look into? Puzzle games would be best. We imported Puyo Puyo Tetris on PS4 and did enjoy it. She gets motion sickness with most racing games so Mario Kart may not work for us.
Funny moment: As I was showing her the system and viewing options/control methods, she said "Oh it's like a Gameboy."

I believe it will be free until the premium service is established later this year.
Yep. The problem is that is either sold out,or at higher prices right now. Amazon ships it in 1-2 months.
My girlfriend has played minimal amounts of video games, but we really enjoyed playing shock troopers together. Pump up the continues and just barrel through it with her. You might have fun!
I was thinking of just clicking buy and wait until they actually send it.
I am also looking for a charger to get. I think I will get these cables though.

Yes, I love it it's very stable.
That is awesome. Heh.
I have another dumb question (I am so full of them right now). Do we need a Ethernet adapter?
jts
...hate me...
Depends on 2 factors:
How much you enjoy playing online (ex: Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8).
Does the Switch play nicely with your Wi-Fi network.
Personally I use my old Wii/U ethernet adapter and it's great. But then again I think any device that is stationary and can be plugged via ethernet (in this case, the dock) should be plugged via ethernet. Wi-fi is for portable devices and situations when ethernet isn't convenient to use. Also, should be cheap to get an adapter that works for it.
Also I like the way that the Switch seamlessly switches between ethernet and Wi-Fi when you dock and undock it.
Just don't get the Hori hard case. Spreads fabric particles all over the screen everytime.

...hate me...
Oh no. The only connections on the dock are USB and HDMI. That's where you need the ethernet adapter, you plug it to the dock.
So a month after launch, and I just snagged me a Pro Controller.
My nearest GameStop had one left in stock.
Love it!
Playing Zelda and FAST RMX feels so much better than with the JoyCons.
Grats!
My order from Amazon from last week still hasn't shipped

Had a strange thing happen with Zelda the other day. Playing in docked mode, probably for around 2 hours when I decided to stop playing. I saved, and then hit the home button...but nothing happened, same with the screen shot button. Zelda was still running fine though.
I took the console out of docked mode and it felt a little warm, I held the power button for a bit and it finally turned off and restarted. Not even sure what happened there, has this happened to anyone else?
I would think the heat maybe caused something but I assume that means the game would have crashed as well.

Just want to say that my girlfriend, who only realy plays Mario Kart and Marío Party, loves Snipperclips. It's a great co op game.

Oh man, I hope yours arrives ASAP!
This controller is really great.
Oh man .... so which one? I only see the Wii U version (poorly rated). What version are people using when it is docked?
Will this one work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MYTSN18/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Picked up the PowerA hybrid case last night. Loving the multiple stand angles.

This happened to me a couple of days ago. Same exact thing. I asked here but no one else besides you has described a similar situation.
I could only turn off the console by holding the power button on the Switch itself.
This happened after the patch, by the way.

Has anyone tried ordering it from Amazon Japan? I'm sure it would get here much faster lol. Shipping costs would ruin it tho. I'm pissed because I had pre-ordered mine for launch and I never got it. When I complained, they knocked off $10 but I'm still waiting. :/

Wonder if it's something to do with the patch. I was worried my console was overheating so at least I am not the only person to have this happen.
Cool thanks!

Did a cursory test, and there's only that one song. I didn't finish the song while it's playing, stopped it halfway before I turned back to Zelda. That song is atrocious.
jts
...hate me...
That one will work for sure, and most of them will. It's mostly generic stuff.

So, I was set on digital only for Nintendo first party games but damn if I don't can't help but admire the physical cases for Zelda and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Sigh.
Sigh.

Hopefully XB2 makes 2017. Really looking forward to that for my RPG fix.

Anyone else observing that there isn't a second shipment of Nintendo's official case for the Switch?
It's still sold out everywhere I look in europe, except for actually 3-4 stores in the country where I live (stores from a big chain, in small towns) but still too far to be worth going there. Unfortunately that chain doesn't ship local stock either.
Really wanted that case. A month has passed and I'm still caseless.

Been struggling with this myself lol. The fact that I get 20 % off with GCU makes it even harder to go to digital when physical is an option, even though I much prefer the convenience of digital.
Steam has spoiled me rotten.

Amen.
Congrats on your Pro Controller. I would be pretty disappointed in my Switch without it.
I was at Nashi-con this weekend in Columbia SC. While my kid were doing their thing, I sat on a seat and played Zelda on the Switch. I had a few dozen people come up to me and either tell me how awesome it looked, or asking me what system was it lol.
That's how it was for the pro controller. I went ahead and ordered it anyways, and got an email a couple days ago saying that instead of being June 1 ship date, it'll be here Apr. 5 (tomorrow).
I say, go ahead and order, and if you get it somewhere else earlier, you can always cancel the order from Amz. Otherwise, keep the Amz order and hope for the best.
Am I the only person going Joycons only with their Switch? I honestly really like them in the grip, and picking up a second set of Joycons is more flexible since I can do 2 player with traditional style controls or 4 player with the teeny joycon mode. Also got Neons to cover up my Gray Switch shame while in portable mode. Just waiting on my charging grip to arrive and then I'm probably not getting any more Switch accessories for a while.
