Nintendo Switch Launch Thread: Now you're playing with power; HYBRID POWER!

Ah see I attached the joycon to the docked system first. That was my problem.
Well if you are charging the tablet and the joycons are rubbing off the power of the tablet...
Both get charged obviously.
Exactly. It's fucking perfect to play undocked. Like I said earlier. This is going to replace the 3DS

I thought so!
Mine I have to move closer to the router. The spot above the wii u (which has always been a wireless champ for me) it fails to get a signal.
Wi fi is pure dog shit.

Yeah, my NNID is linked and linked to my consoles as well. Could there be issues with the website?

Got all of my stuff (system, zelda se, amiibo, pro controller, screen protector, 128gb microsd, powerbank, spare usb-c cables, beats headphones, and case) by early afternoon. Also got some swag from Gamestop when I picked up my system and accessories.
Here's everything now that I've setup my Switch

Oh no. Please don't let this be TN vs IPS all over again.
Check the viewing angles.

Oh uh. You probably don't want to remove the skin from the console ever. There are are some problems and PSAs from skin manufacturers that the Switch surface doesn't like the adhesive.
I think you are getting confused with charging from a mid-level battery pack. Charging via the supplied lead charges while playing.
not sure, i've just checked on my daughters and the options there
Sure you're in the right place,

Doing it this way is much better than trying to force it out and potentially damaging your controller. Better to do this and gently lift up those hook/latch things that keep it stuck in place.
It's a minor thing, but I love how taking a screenshot is completely instantaneous--you can do it 5 times per second if you time your mashing right--and the system automatically hides the screenshot icon if you take another one while it's still being displayed. Big step up from the Vita and even the PS4.

Looks more like color calibration than TN vs IPS, which would be obvious sidebyside like that.
Yeah I finally noticed this too. If you make sure to unlock them and then apply a LOT of pressure really slowly you can get the hang of getting them on and off.
Still odd why this is so weird though when clicking the joycons onto the tablet or the grip is so easy.

I did. The box I see only says Nintendo Account Balance at the top. My funds don't show at all. And there is nothing else either, nothing to click on or anything.

Is there a way to use the Mii linked to your NNID on the Switch? I seem to recall an option for that during initial setup but I skipped it because I hadn't linked my NNID yet. It doesn't seem like it can be done now, though.

Does it look like this? Does it say merged or anything?
All it shows is this:
No merged or anything.

The Switch is literally 3 feet from the router. It's picking up my neighbor's wireless, but not mine.
I've never had an issue with any other system Nintendo or otherwise.
Anyone else having this problem?

No merged or anything.
very odd, and theres still money left in your WiiU / 3DS store apps?
I'd get onto Ninty support to find out whats going on.
Welp, I got a flawed unit. I have some bad luck. I had a psp with a cluster of dead pixels at launch. I also had like 7 different Xbox 360s RROD. Now my switch has what looks like a black scanline. It isn't noticeable on every color, but it shows a lot with light colors. Here's a pic I took while aimed at the sky in BotW.
The picture doesn't show it well, but it's a black line going across the entire lower 3rd of the screen. Ugh

I was peeling and re-peeling the skins for a while when putting them on. Didn't see anything out of the ordinary. But I'll keep an eye out. If anything, I can always buy extra joy-cons later

I figured Nintendo would ship just as many copies of Zelda as they did Switch units so I pre-ordered the Switch and did not pre-order Zelda. Sure enough, I walked in to Best Buy and picked up a copy of Zelda and my reserved Switch. They were out of the Switch for customers that didn't reserve...
Yea I hate that too, but I believed themes and music will come later as paid add ons like the 3ds. Otherwise I'm loving this system

Uh oh. You might want to look up what's dbrand said about adhesives and the Switch today (it was the top of /all today). It destroys the coating.

Ended up getting a Grey Switch and here are my initial impressions.
The box for the system was way smaller than I thought. Was really surprised at how small it was. System itself looks fantastic, but included accessories blow ass. HDMI cable was about a foot too short for my set up. I have a 75" 4k Set and the Switch is on the right side, HDMI ports on the TV are on the left and cable was too short. Decided to put the Switch on the left side but then the power cord was too short to plug into my Panamax power box. Joy Con controllers are very small, I am a big guy and I don't see myself using them unless connected to the controller holder. Speaking of the holder, damn is that uncomfortable as a controller itself. Really bad ergonomics and does not feel right. My wife which is petite felt it was fine for her.
Pro Controller is great. A little on the thick side in the center, but it feels great and I really like it a lot. My favorite controller is the Elite Xbox One controller followed by the regular Xbox One controllers and this is very close to those and is just great.
I have not used the Switch as a portable other than the initial set up. I had ZERO issues connecting to my Wifi and no issues attaching or removing the Joy Cons from the tablet. Everything just worked great and smooth. I was able to download the day 1 system patch in about 1 minute or so, it was really fast. I have not used the Joy Cons themselves too much other than when I was using them after I had the tablet plugged to the TV and going through the set up, but then switched to the Pro Controller and attached the Joy Cons to charge.
UI is not bad, but WTF....WHY IS IT IN 720p??? I am literally shocked that they did this. Even my wife was saying "why does it not look a little clearer like the Xbox One or the PS4 Pro UI's? I really hope they patch this because it does not look that great. The UI itself is fine, navigation seems to be fine and overall layout is not too bad, basic typical Nintendo UI, but they have to get it to 1080p because there is no reason that it should be at 720p.
I have yet to play a game, about to launch Zelda and as it was downloading the patch I decided to make a quick post. Overall, outside of the 720p resolution, it seems like a solid piece of tech and very impressed with how well and smoothly things have gone so far.
Question: With Snipperclips game, can you use a pro controller and the joy cons in the controller holder to play or must you use the joy cons on their own? My wife wants to get the game and just curious if we can use the assembled controller and the Pro to play the game?
Will be back to post impressions of Zelda bit later.

So officially, it looks like only 4 titles launched on Switch ( at least in the US ). Twice as many as N64!!
Yup. That's what the system asked me to do immediately after I put it in.
If this is the wrong place - I apologize in advance.
If this is the right place - SW-6330-4613-3920
Happy Switch Day to all!

I can't believe we still have, what are essentially, friend codes and not usertags. And Nintendo wants us to pay for their online later this year? smh

The first time I went to the eShop it asked me if I wanted to save my password. Are you not getting that prompt?
