looking for people to add, so is the only way to add people via the friend code? only option I'm seeing.
I'm exactly the same. Beautiful. Also 30 minutes into Zelda. I think I'm gonna use the Parental App because I wanna see my playtime.
Question: What is the process to fully turn off or reboot the Switch? So far I'm just using Sleep Mode. Is there any reason to fully turn off? I never do on my 3DS.
Do downloads still occur in Sleep Mode?
Hm, I have the old ps3 bluetooth earpiece from Socom somewhere, I'll go try
[Edit] Nope, there is nowhere in the menus to manually manage bluetooth devices, so there's no way to get them to pair up.

How is it compared to say one of the iPad minis etc.?
So despite having work today, I still went to the midnight launch, immediately downloaded Shovel Knight and Fast RMX and played til almost 4am. Still got the wife to work on time and even made it to work early. Glad I took a nap yesterday.
I'm absolutely enamoured so far. <3
Great first impressions:
-ZERO defects! No scratches, dead pixels, wobbly bits, etc. Much better than my 3DS experiences.
-Build quality/feel is siiiick. I get GBA/Gamecube feels everytime I pick it up. Yay matte and fitting my tiny hands. ^-^
-It's much smaller than I thought it would be! I prefer gaming on handhelds. It fits like a glove; even the indivdual joycons! I tested Shovel Knight with one joycon and played just fine.
-Snappy/minimalist UI is a legit. Being minimalist is a negative for most people, but it's certainly my preference. I would still like to see stuff like inevitable web browser, folders, and Netflix/Hulu support in the future, but so far I appreciate the lack of bloat.
-I haven't even played in docked mode yet. Handheld and tabletop modes will be my primary ways of play. This is my dream handheld so far. Just needs a dpad variant of the left joycon and virtual console and it will surpass the GBA/3DS as my favorite system of all time.
-Pro controller is tight. The dpad is crazy good; I can't say I can empathize with the "too stiff"-complaints.
-Wish I had more time/a better way to mess with HD rumble. It's legitimately one of my most anticipated features. I got a taste of it last night with Fast RMX, but it felt underutilized?
-Weather might jack up my incoming Zelda order... I'm seriously considering trying to scrounge up another copy around town after work (and then trading in the original when jt comes in for credit) just so I can play jt over the weekend. That's how much I'm into my Switch. XD

On your Switch go into News and then "Battery Running Out". It says that the Joy-Con controllers will recharge just by attaching them to the console. They charge off the console even if the console itself isn't being charged.

This is what I did, unboxed the system and contents, slid the Joy-Cons on each side of the unit, popped the Switch into the dock and plugged in the Pro Controller, power adapter and HDMI. I did the setup with the Pro Controller with the Joy-Cons attached to the Switch in the dock. Everything synced like butter. I'd highly recommend a Pro Controller if you can swing one, it's a great controller.

The weakness of the WiFi baffles me. I hope this is something that can be patched at some point. My switch is about 10 feet from my router and isn't even catching a single bar. While every other connected device in my house is having zero issues. Weird.

Already did that. Did a soft reset on the TV now. Will see if that helps.

Nope, that's where the micro SD card goes.

I got the official Nintendo one. I have to say it's pretty slim. Not as protective as I thought based on pictures. I would consider it a "light to medium duty" case, not a "heavy duty case". I'm going to look for a more protective case. Hopefully others can chime in with their thoughts on cases they have. I know gamestop had a ton of cases for sale.
Awesome Ty!!

Did you do the update yet?
That looks like Joycons sponsored by Domino's Pizza.

Console. Cards are read only.
Cards are read only. Save data is stored on the console.
Uh oh... That sounds like the Bluetooth / WiFi connection to the controllers is impacting the signal of the device itself.

If I remember correctly I did the system update. The system restarted and a few minutes later I put in the sd card. Then it told me I needed another update which I did and it works fine for me. Did you do the "second" update?

Lol.
It can be turned off on the Switch's end. In TV Output under settings, called "Match TV state" or something along those line (I don't remember exactly). E.g. if the Switch is on the TV will turn on, if the TV turns off, the Switch will turn off.

I'm sitting at home with mine, and kinda bored. One game, Zelda. Once I play it, I'll have to wait for other games to come out.
This was known before you bought it bro.
