Yeah, I think it's somewhat common, judging from some pictures. Here's what I'm talking about though:
Just seems like it's bulging a bit there, which is kind of annoying.

Pretty sure it does, thats how I get chat to work using them with psvr
Edit: nevermind, there a jack on the headset but not the dongle. Read it wrong.

I had to go double-check. The dongle definitely doesn't have one, like the pulse.
The 3.5mm would go from the headset to the controller
EDIT:
I'm really hoping bluetooth headsets are supported soon. If I am on my couch and want to use my headphones, I don't have a good solution for that. The Pulse workaround seems okay.
If you have an old Wii U controller stand it works perfect for the switch. Waaaaay better than the kick stand
Holy shit, good idea. Why didn't I think of that

Do they let you return your opened software? I mean I can see an exception since you are also returning the console you are playing it on, but I wasn't sure...

At the GameStop midnight, I had a couple giant bags - felt awesome!
I came away with:
Switch Neon console
Gray Switch Console (16 year old step son)
Gray Joycons set (mine to have gray)
Zelda BOTW (step son)
Zelda BOTW Special Edition
1-2 Switch
$70 in eshop cards (Zelda season pass, FAST, Snipperclips)
Pro Controller
Joycon Charging Grip
AC Adaper
$7.99 screen protectors x 3 (I always mess up)
All 5 BOTW Amiibo + Wolf Link
Official Hard pouch carry case
From Best Buy arrived on 3/3
Neon Joycons (son I can have double red or blue)
From Amazon:
Anker Powercore + 20100 USB C & USB C cable, along with Anker charge plug & Marley headphones from Switch first reveal.
Tested this with Zelda at Starbucks:
The battery pack kept Switch fully charged, 0 depletion of the Switch. 75 % brightness and headphones.
My issues not present on step son system:
My card case on top is loose, doesn't close well.
Kickstand not as tight when closed.

Thanks to all who've posted how to make a Japanese eShop account. I currently have Puyo Puyo Tetris and Dragon Quest Heroes 1-2 demos downloading.
This seems too good to be true. I hope Nintendo doesn't back track on this and removes the ability. Why? Cause Nintendo.
EDIT: Wow. If Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2 is what we can expect in terms of graphical performance, then we've been hoodwinked by Nintendo and Nvidia. I know it's a demo but it's simply terrible looking.
This is something the Wii U could handle. Horrible textures. Bland open world. Yuck. Now, I have *heard* that this was simply a port of a PS3/Xbox 360 game so my comments may be a bit unfair.
If it's a straight port without using any of the supposed additional horsepower the Switch has over the Wii U, I stand corrected.
Tetris is fun and seems like it'll be a fun party/multiplayer game.

They won't, every company has gone region free so it would be console suicide if they do that.

I'm pretty sure it only starts tracking once the app is installed. So everything prior to that is lost.

Help...
This morning, I noticed that my Switch, while sitting in the dock and after putting into Sleep mode is turning itself on and off, It turns on, whte a small symbol in the upper left corner of the screen. Cant tell what the symbol is, but it is turning on and off every 5 seconds. This was not happening yesterday and on Friday. Anyone know why it Is dong this?
edit: I looked more closely and it is illuminating the screen and showing the icon that it is fully charged. But after having it off yesterday, it was not doing this and it was fully charge. The issue I may be over analyzing is that it is illuminating the back light to show that icon every 5 seconds while it is in the dock and not sure if it would add wear and tear to the screen. There is something wrong right? I mean it was put into sleep mode and it should not be turning itself on and off every 5 seconds to show the fully charge icon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does Switch have any drawing game/apps on it or planned? And does it work with stylus?
Watching people play BotW makes me want one.
Style on capacitive screen suck.
Best option for that: iPad Pro + Pencil
I guess it depends where he bought it. I returned a brand new sealed Xbox one to Target and they still had to open it.

Do you have an iPad? I was using that last night and a leftover USB-C from my Note 7.

I have a 15 foot USBC cable but does anyone know a good outlet plug that will charge the Switch while playing? Is Anker a good brand?
Bummer, but expected. Thanks

Hi,
I just plugged in my extra joycons from amazon, and noticed the left side of my Switch screen is flickering. It's noticeable on the home page and in Zelda.
A quick google shows others have had the same problem. I've been playing for 2 hours before this, probably, everything was fine. Battery life is 80%. I've tried turning it off (hold power), restarting it, problem still exists.
A search of this thread shows nobody else has experienced this.
Yikes, if I can't find a fix I'm just going to return them. I have 3 switchs for various family members, I like Zelda but this flicker is no good.

help, my Switch surround sound isn't working. I have the Switch connected to my TV HDMI input and when I select surround sound and do the test I only got PCM 2.0 sound.
My TV settings are correct as my PS4 and PC output 5.1 DTS sound properly to my Sony receiver via optical out. My TV supports optical out 5.1(Sony X800D 43).
This sucks.

Switch only outputs surround via PCM and not compressed formats like Dolby Digital or DTS. Via optical you are going to be limited to two channel PCM.
Sorry dude.

no problem, I can just run it straight to the receiver.

So I charged it for 5 minutes and turned it back on, this time it seems like the flicker is gone. I hope they can firmware fix that as just rebooting it a few times, hard resets did nothing. Perhaps the auto adjust brightness (if it has one of those) is malfunctioning, as it was only the left side of the screen. Nintendo seems to be biased against left everything, haha.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Maybe if you revoke the permission from your Facebook account as well after you unlink from the Switch side?
I picked this up and I'm going to give it a shot
I should be getting it tomorrow and I'll post if it works with my Switch
Just checking: can I keep playing as long as the USB cable is connected to a power outlet? If the battery drains faster than it recharges I mean, it won't automatically turn off due to the battery status?
I got annoyed at my Samsung tablet earlier because it had enough charge to turn on, but even with power cable in it would immediately turn off due to low battery.

I was one of those who got screwed by Amazon/Nintendo/UPS and mine still hasn't arrived.
Went to Target this morning and snagged a Neon Switch! I'll sell the gray once it arrives (who knows when).
Weird issue here though...it only came with 1 joycon grip. Anyone else had that happen? I doubt the Switch had been tampered with because...why just take a joycon grip? I'll never use it, but just based on the principle of the matter, I feel like I should get another grip. May call Nintendo and see what they can do. Also picked up the Mario case that was supposed to include a micro fiber cloth. Guess what? No micro fiber cloth, lol.

I highly recommend this one
I have a Nexus 6p and bought this charger to use with it. It charges my Switch just fine and since it has two ports, it could be used to charge a Pro Controller with a USB C to C cable.
Sure it costs a bit more, but cheap USB-C cables can ruin electronics.
Question : what did you choose for a screen protection ? My little brothers will play it as much as me and a screen protection is absolutely mandatory. Even though, this time, the touchscreen won't be used a lot.
I always used some cheap plastic screen protections since 3DS screen was crap anyway and I rarely looked at the Wii U gamepad. This time is different, I will play most of the time in portable mode and want to keep the best quality.
I've been thinking of a glass protector, but I've never applied one and I'm a bit scary to fuck it up, losing 10€ in the process. Is it particularly hard to apply ? How are the results compared to a normal plastic screen protector ?

I think im going to make the plunge also, my wife literally just said "just get one".
Just need to wait for them to come back in stock somewhere now, hopefully won't take too long. Exciting!

Sorry if this has been asked, but anyone experiencing some slight delay every now and then with the joycons when playing in docked mode? I imagine it has to do with distance from the tablet/dock. I'll experience it more if I'm sitting more than about 7-8 feet away from the dock.
Edit: Ah, see it's an issue with the left joycon that others are experiencing. Shit. Though I think distance has to do with it.

It charges faster than it runs through the battery so you shall be fine.Just checking: can I keep playing as long as the USB cable is connected to a power outlet? If the battery drains faster than it recharges I mean, it won't automatically turn off due to the battery status?

Since I started using glass protectors on my phone(s), I won't use anything else. They're so much better then the plastic ones. They're also easier to install.
I just installed one on my Vita a few weeks ago, was a breeze. If you're worried, I'm sure you could take it to a cell phone repair store and have them install it.
