Have you tried hitting the + button? Works with the joycons when turning it on remotely.
Edit: My mistake, it's the Home button.

You got a keeper!
How is the official Vs hori for thickness and overall size? Got the hori but it isn't that hard on the outside so maybe the official would be a good option if it's thinner (needs to go in my backpack for commuting)
Log into Nintendo, goto settings, eshop, and select the option to combine your wallets into 1.

Alright... the nightmare's over. The strap is off.
God damn, that was the most frustrating thing I've experienced in 2017 so far. Reverse joy con straps are no fucking joke.
I will now be extremely paranoid for the rest of my life when I put these things on.

This warmed my heart after my joy con debacle. Good for you buddy.

Anyone have any advice on screen protectors? I usually get a bubble or two on every device I put them on from a spec of dust, and I despise putting them on.
This time, I bought the "official" one, and picked up a new canned air. I put on lint-free gloves I use to handle vinyl, and immediately applied it out of the box with help from my girlfriend, leaving as little exposure as possible, slowly applying it while hitting the screen with air every few seconds.
Well, it still looks like shit towards the side I finished applying it on. There's three visible bubbles, and somehow a miniscule string or something that I assumed was clinging to the protection film while putting it on.
I'd like to try it again, but I'm afraid it'll look worse the second time around. I'd honestly be willing to pay a decent chunk of money for someone capable to put it on.
Is there something wrong with me? Is there some trick I'm missing out on? Fuck

GAF! I finally got mine and I fricking love it! Feels so nice in my hands. It's slick and doesn't feel cheap in the slightest. Any anxiety I might've had has completely disappeared.
That said, the joycon straps suck. Even when they don't get stuck, the buttons just dont feel great. But meh, the joycons are never leaving the tablet anyway.

Amazon has them in stock right now. Go go go!

Everything arrived. Extra Switch for a friend. Keeping Master Edition unopened for now. Zelda is amazing, been playing for the last 3 hours. What a gem.
I like the official Nintendo case better than the Hori tough one. The Nintendo case is just right... the smallest of the ones I have seen, the most sleek. The Hori one will go to my friend.

I was upset to find out I cannot use a portable amp on the Switch. Whenever I plug in the 3.5 aux cable from the amp to the Switch, it recognizes it then mutes it. I increase the sound and it's outputting from the Switch itself. Sigh.

Yeah, I downloaded three games pretty quickly earlier today, but my Zelda update seems to be taking forever

I just used one of those mini Favi wireless keyboards to Tweet a screenshot from the album. Works like a charm.

Yeah, these are going right back into the box and never seeing the light of day ever again.

Just got my Switch today I was bitching and moaning couldn't find one since I didn't pre order lol anyways now we here !, Anyways was wondering what kind of power bank and cable you guys use for on the go gaming doubt I'll use docked mode much I ruined the protection cover that came with the case LOL
Ugggg, it can't see my wireless router.
Any suggestions? It is an old Linksys that my phone and laptop can connect to fine. My can't my Switch see it?
What is the difference between Network Name and SSID?
And Amazon fucked up, no Zelda =( Gamestop got me the system fine, but a dipshit little game can't get delivered on time.

Found a lone charging grip sitting on a shelf. I doubt I need it right now but I'm still tempted to pick it up.

Thanks and no, I actually immediately looked around and said "Please tell me you're not recording this". There are no record of said tears.Awww that's so sweet
Is there a video of you crying on YT?
Awesome.
I actually hate my name, the joke is that I'm completely not a Cynical Bastard. My friends always tease me that "You always find some way to make it a positive, you need to be a cynical bastard more often". I wish there was a way to change my name. Thanks!

Really in love with the system and Zelda. Super high quality.
Just downloaded Snipperclips for now, will check other eShops later, but do have to flag up: "Sucessfully Downloaded"? Tsk.
I just used the enclosed tape to clear it all of debris and then quickly laid the protector on, think my daughter ended up with a tiny tiny spec on the outer edge that we couldn't squeeze out, and i don't want to risk peeling back off slightly as its barely noticable, but the rest of it is nice and clear.
PM a mod, they'll sort you out
Honestly I feel like they could make a more portable mini version with permanently-attached controllers and a smaller screen, and sell it for a lower price. But I feel like that would only happen as a reaction to poor sales. If this model sells well, there's no need for a knee-jerk redesign.
Other than that, maybe just a better kickstand and improvements to the battery as they become possible?
There is a single player mode. Haven't tried it but the demo also lets you choose between one and two players (full game goes up to 4 players in two modes).
Any advice on this? Every other device I own (except my PS4 Pro) can see my router just fine. Are there some settings that work better with Switch? Channel? B/G?
EDIT: Got it. Had to change my security.

I only have two very minor gripes with the system so far: nowhere to put a wrist strap when the joy cons are attached, and the headphone jack being on top instead of the bottom.
Normally I wouldn't care about a wrist strap but it's so large for a handheld I wish there was somewhere to loop one on.

unlock the white latch at the bottom, press the black button on top at the back and slide off.
Assuming you havent put them on the wrong way round, in which case,,,,good luck.

Happy with it so far after ending up buying one at Fry's after canceling my Best Buy preorder a couple of weeks back. Hype got to me, and wanted the best version of Zelda!
Pro controllers were sold out there and the Best Buy I grabbed Zelda from with GCU, just using the JoyCons and grip for now. They seem fine, I'll probably hold off for a bit on the Pro controller and get one when I need a d-pad for something.
