I'm not sure about the aspect ratios for 3DS, but I think DS games were already available on Wii-U. I'm pretty sure they were even playable in off-TV mode.

Any downsides to turning it on before first charging completely?
This system feels so good in my hands, man. So comfortable to hold!
I should just report I am having no issues at all. Joy-Cons pair just fine, no dropped signal. Downloads work, going from dock to handheld mode is seamless, no crashes in games.
Very happy with my purchase right now. Back to more Zelda!

This is true. I find it pretty cool to have a handheld that requires active cooling.

It still blows my mind that this is actually possible
Hands up, who actually would have believed just a year ago that Nintendo could release such a powerful portable in a year? I remember some NX speculation saying that the portable experience would be like mini games around the home games.

Nope. Modern batteries don't need to go through full charge/recharge cycles.

No just don't run out of battery. Full discharge is never good for a battery.

The 2DS is just one big screen with a superficial strip of plastic to separate them. The Wii U plays DS games too. Plus they could always have you turn the system 90 degrees or something. If the Wii U can do it the Switch can!

I can't get over how amazing the neon joycons look in person. Like goddamn.

Question, so I have a Nintendo ID account from my 3ds. I merged that account to something called My Nintendo. When i later open my Switch when out of workplace. I will just nees to put in the My Nintendo thing and all will be good? Or will i need to enter the nintendo id as well?
I thought that too but a collegue recently mentioned you should never do that and instead have the charge between 20% and 100%. No idea what's correct anymore. Just like with coffee causing cancer or not or being healthy

Posted it at the end of the last page but.. lol
Is there a way to tell if the joycons are charging? I put my Switch into sleep mode while I am grabbing some lunch, so I slid them back into the switch dock with it plugged in. No light is on anywhere though. Are they charging?

Indeed they are !
Yes, they are charging even tough there is no sleep light like there is for the PS4. Pro Controller charges too if plugged in.

Use the strap on the replacement Joy-Con you have to buy.

I had that after the update. A restart solved the problem. But still WiFi signal is still pretty weak. And my router is almost next to the Switch.
Anyone else having the issue of a weak WiFi signal?

Seems like updates are modular. Had the day 1 update. Had to update again after inserting my sdxc card.
Just got mine installed and I gotta say that the preview impressions were not wrong. Purely as a piece of hardware this is miles ahead of the Wii U. The OS is friendly and fast, and most importantly the controllers feel solid whereas the Gamepad always felt like a rattly cheap thing. Gonna get some dinner and let the controllers charge a bit before diving into Zelda.
I'm really pleased with how clean the system design and main UI look after the Wii U. The differences between the Switch itself and the Gamepad or the Switch menu and the Wii U's are seriously night and day.
I always felt like my impression of the Wii U was "fuck, I get it, y'all really want to be cute" whereas my impression of the Switch is "ooohhh, this is cute". Hits just the right mix of sleek and silly.

So I downloaded some games without the microSD in, is there a way to just move them to the SD card without Archiving them and then redownloading them with the microSD inserted?

Does anybody know if there's a way you can wake the Switch up from tabletop mode and only use one joycon? Anytime I wake up the Switch it wants me to press a button on the other controller but I really like using just one for Shovel Knight

Do we know how the Neogeo ports are? I'm really tempted to get Metal Slug 3.

When I have my tv turned off completely, and my switch powered down, if I turn the switch on, it turns the tv on with no input needed from the TV remote.
Am I crazy? Did I miss this impression from people / reviewers?
It just confused the hell out of me when my tv turned on by itself. I have a smart 4k tv fwiw.

I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOP70EC/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Should be fine, right?
Gratz, you just discovered HDMI-CEC.
It supports HDMI-CEC? I thought that wasn't on there. PS4 does this for ages already.

I didn't even know this was a thing haha. The switch is apparently magical to me! That said, is there a way to make it go reverse? Because when I power the switch down it does NOT turn the tv off I don't think.
Yea looks good, but you dont really need gigabit as the switch doesnt support that data throughput rate

Most tvs have HDMI CEC which you can wake the tv from off so you dont need the remote. I use it on my ps4 and theres an option in the menu for it, but no idea about switch.

Ah, oh well. $16 through Prime so no biggie. I just wanted to make sure it was USB 3.0
