Fuck me. Those colors are gorgeous. What's your TV? I'm worried my TV is gonna mar the game when my Switch comes in later today, lots of ghosting when it comes to darker colors.

Ok I just want my Wii U copy of Zelda so I can stop reading this stupid thread. I know if I break and go buy a Switch I'm going to be pissed at myself probably within 24 hours.
I guess if I go to Walmart later for the Zelda strategy guide and they just happen to have a Switch lying around...
mother fucker.
And that TV pic is great whoever posted it. It really does show the color of Zelda and the small size of the Switch very well.

Unable to match + with + and - and - deserves the Darwin award. Nintendo should have made it even more idiot proof I guess.

here where i live it was a desert.although maybe it was just a bit too early...went to the mall to get zelda for wii u and other stuff,there was nothing about the switch at the electronic store, and the general store only had advertisement but no games or consoles yet...only sign that this was lunch day was at gamestop where there were a dozen zelda switch copies ready
Would love to hear impressions on screen protectors from people who got them, e.g. which brand you got, how easy they've been to apply, whether they're intrusive at all, etc. Still on the fence.
I'm mainly worried about scratching the screen when removing the Switch from the dock and putting it back in.

WiiU case for comparison.
It looks great. No problem with washed out colours or anything, just be sure to use the correct display settings.
Yeah, the "handheld" mode size is too large to be comfortable or transportable in pockets. Its an around the house / in the car or in a bag kind of thing. I'm comfortable with carrying a 6P or 3DSXL around and can manage a Vita sometimes but the Switch is too big.
I wonder if you could use the screen as touch controls for stuff, without the joy cons it'd be a far better size for a portable.
The Play brand ones from EB Games were terrible, they bubble and can't be smoothed down. I had to remove it.

Are there any demos of games available on the eshop? Any list?

Switch won't output sound to my receiver, which is nice. It's a stereo reciever so I always have to set it to PCM stereo or some shit over optical from TV.
Knowing Nintendo they'll never ever fix this so I'll play Zelda then sell the thing.

My left Joycon fits a little loose, it's really annoying. It's like the bottom isn't fully locking or something, it has a little give to it and whenever I move from the stick to the buttons it feels loose. I'm worried it's going to get worse over time. Right Joycon fits perfectly.
Anyone else have this issue? I'm tempted to see if I can get a replacement, I'm guessing chances are slim to none though.

HDMI audio extractor -> optical or 3.5mm stereo out -> receiver?
Also pointless hangup number 1 - I don't like the capture button being so...square. The joycons are rounded, all the other buttons are round, the sticks are round. That square sticks out like a sore thumb.

The joy-cons make the Switch clicky sound from the commercial when you connect them.
It's a LG 55EG920v, a 4K HDR OLED display.
The main menu and the e-shop support touch input, so it'll depend on the games if they support it or not.

Wow, this thing is premium as hell. It is so premium, it makes 3DS borderline unplayable.
Screen is amazing. Sound is BONKERS. It feels like you're holding some kind of Ferrari of handhelds. I can't believe I'm playing Zelda in bed with this kind of hardware.
Zelda has some performance issues, especially when docked, to the point that I kind of feel better when I'm playing it handheld style. Seriously cannot wait to go home to play tonight.

Why wouldn't I? You don't think it's a major issue that it isn't compatible with a set up PS4 and Xbox One are fine with?

Wow, I tested Dragon Quest 2 on the Switch and it's not very pretty and the framerate is really bad, it must run in 20-30 fps ... Disappointing.
It's apparently fairly easy to snag one from Target with in store pickup currently.

I'm playing Zelda with the grip (didn't buy a pro controller) and it feels great. I have big hands btw

Okay, for anyone wondering? The official case is a perfect fit for the device in it's entirety (tablet + joycons attached) There's even a flap (don't know what else to call it) for some cartridges. You can fold the flap, en put the switch on top of it before you zip the thing up. Really glad with the minimalistic design. It also comes with a screen protector, it isn't tempered glass sadly enough. But it's nice they have included it with it.
I have the same with my right joycon. The bottom is creaky as in you can move it a small bit and it makes sound when doing so. Not sure if I should try to fiddle with the screws on the tablet.
Btw: how do the joycons connect power wise? I don't see any obvious connection on the tablet.

Disgaea 5 doesn't seem to. But there's a bit about it that makes me think it was decided fairly late to either put it on Switch or make it a launch title so I guess that's not surprising.
Just had to stop my thumb from bleeding after accidentally stabbing myself with the metal inside of one of those things. They're entirely too hard to take off.
It's so small and beautiful. I'm in love.
I don't have the problem with the opening, every button works and a quick test of the left joycon gave me no problem. I'm lucky i guess, hopefully everyone having defect can manage to find a solution.
I'm now watching a bar fill-in for Zelda, seems like the server speeds are awesome for a day1, hopefully it stay this way all day.

I see people are breaking their system by accidently attatching the wrong wrist strap to the wrong side. Major design flaw?
Took this from Boogie2988:
This is fixable - I made the same mistake and nearly snapped my Joy-Con in half by trying to force it off, but, what you need to do is ensure the grey lock switch is pulled out and then hold the release on the back of the Joy-Con and pull in the direction of the + symbol. It's tough but it comes off.

Lined up at a Best Buy at 11:00 am and just chilled out there until the launch. A little colder than I expected but whatever, they let us stand inside the store at 11:00 and around 11:45 they started to ring things up. My brother was the first one to get the switch!
So anyway I got the grey switch, Zelda master edition, bomberman, 1-2 switch, pro controller, charging grip, a carrying case and eshop money to download I am setsuna and fast remix. Got the next couple of days off so I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy this.
First impressions; when I opened the box I didn't expect the switch to be small. I thought it was gonna be a little bigger than it turned out to be but damn if it doesn't look amazing. Sleek and compact. I was worried about the joycons since I have big hands, Fortunately I grabbed them and they felt great immediately washing away my doubts. I haven't played any of the games since I'm gonna catch some z's but so far so good on the hardware side of things.
By the way, I'm surprised to see people putting on the wrist straps on wrong. lol it's not that difficult.

Does the joycon chnarge when you have it connected to the dock in sleep mode?

Yes, the signal looks weaker, sometimes not getting full bars where other devices are.

Just for this page again, yes the wifi is awful. 5 Ghz mode is better than 2.4 but be as close to the router as possible. Undocking can be a big help since you can basically place it next to the router.

Are anyone else's grips like super difficult to slide off in comparison to comfort grip? My grips take a considerable amount of effort to remove so i don't know what's going on there, whereas the comfort grip the joycons just slide out of easily.
Elaugaufein
Member
That seems to be normal. It kinda makes sense too, since you're holding it by the joy cons in portable mode so you want them in very solidly, whereas the grips are held by the grip part.
What do you mean by the grip and the comfort grip?
If you mean the wrist strap with the buttons on it, yeah they're a nightmare to take off. Feel like I'm breaking the sliding mechanism trying to get them off. The grip that holds both joycons work perfectly, it's strange.

That's unfortunate since I was planning to stay in the basement to game (where all my other game devices are located) and the router is upstairs.
