Any recommendations for USB chargers, and cases? I would ideally like a case that can be a sturdier stand. But I just need a case and want a good one.
My flatmates just came in to try my Switch out, and they seemed impressed. One of them seemed dead-set on buying it after I told him that Skyrim was coming out on it. So yeah. It's anecdotal, but there are people who are excited to play Skyrim on the Switch.
My Switch comes tomorrow, but I won't have any games for it due to Zelda being out of stock everywhere (unless I pay the extortionate Nintendo store price). Are there any decent demos for me to download?
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.

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.
So last night before I went to bed, I shut off and connected the Switch to the pro controller usb cable, which is connect to the dock. So basically
AC adapter > dock > USB A to USB C > Switch undocked.
When I connected it, the Switch turned on by itself, but it was as if I had simply put it in sleep mode. I shut it off again and left it connected overnight. Woke up today, turned it on...And it says 93℅ charged.
Is that normal?
I am kind of nervous to be living in a Post-Zelda Switch world. Once I beat Zelda I'm not sure I will really be interested in too much on the console until Mario Kart. Which is a shame because I absolutely love the console itself. Maybe I will get around to trying Shovel Knight and giving it an honest try but I have reservations since I have already purchased it on the 3DS.
From what I gather is seems to be latest news at the top. Since creating a new JP account, the news for that account is the latest. However, I now have two new US news additions atop the JP listings.Has anyoned figured out if you can remove news posts from other regions from the lock screen? I have a Japanese account and that's all I see for News on the lock screen.
Great idea
Cuningas de Häme;231529972 said:I am watching a record of a stream where Quickybaby, a notable WoT streamer, plays LoZ. He went completely blind, did unboxing there and all.
He is absolutely clueless about most of the things, and I think it is wonderful to see one who hasn't followed the Switch to start using one.
He was really surprised how easy the Switch was to setup to TV and his capture card. Seems quite impressed overall about his Switch.
Now he's starting BotW...
So Nintendo Switch works great at my home, having fun with BotW
I brought it to my university for the first time and connecting to the wifi is authentication log-in type with username and password
Nintendo Switch UI has no input for log-in username, only for password and it keeps failing to connect
The web applet doesn't come up either since it doesnt have any pop ups similar to public wifi's at restaurants, etc
Anyone find a work-around to this?
Dragon Quest Heroes doesn't run too well, right? I've only tried out the demo, but the frame rate was pretty irritating in portable mode, and I'm normally not one of the people who are saying "oh, no, it's not 60fps". But here the drops were pretty noticeable. Not sure if it was better in docked mode though.
Snipperclips is great though. Great fun, just like Puyo Puyo Tetris (though I wait for a localised version, the language barrier was still too high). For Zelda I might need a bit more time.

If anyone is looking for a second dock for ease of moving it to one room or another, Nintendo sells just the dock for $60 with no power or HDMI (I bought a spare power cable for travel and have plenty of HDMI cables). I tried to buy the one they said would be available for $90 at launch but it doesn't look like you can buy it anywhere so that's kinda weird.

This was happening to me, too. However, I found a workaround. I just used the university 'guest' wifi network instead, which brought the university login web applet up and let me connect just fine. If your university has a 'guest' equivalent, then that would probably work. If there are no pop-ups at all, though... It might not work. Still, give it a try.

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.
Yeah, I'm gonna guess we're better off just charging directly through the AC adapter/dock. All this because of a bended plate.Yeah, I'm wondering about charging options too. I'm wondering I can take the USB C to USB A cable that came with the Joycon charging grip, attach the USB A end to my iPhone outlet dongle, and use that to charge the system itself. I tried it and the Switch registered as if it was charging, but after 10 mins it hasn't increased a single percent battery-wise...
Figured out another way for college/university students at the mercy of WPA2 enterprise login's
If you have a laptop, login with that to the university's wifi
once your laptop is connected to wifi, you can use an ethernet cable to wire your console into your computer and use the internet
On the laptop computer:
Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
Right-click the wireless network connection.
Click Properties.
Click Sharing.
Put a check mark in the box under Internet Connection Sharing.
Click OK.
Ta-da! now you have internet on your console!
*This requires a LAN adapter for your Switch console

Might of repeating myself on an earlier post but I love my Nintendo Switch. Seems the more I play Zelda, the more impressed I am with this console and looking forward to more games coming out for it.
I've tried DQH's demo in both modes. And yes, the differencies in terms of frame rate are important: in docked mode, it's 30fps, with some drops when the scene is more crowded, but not always. Several intances where the game was going at quite lower than 30fps undocked while it was almost perfect 30fps docked.
HI guys, I have a question
I will get my Switch in the next three days, I bought the Switch from Amazon US , so the console and the AC adapter are the US version, now I know that in US the AC adapter is about 100~120V however the voltage in my country is about 220~240V , so is this gonna work? or do I need anything to make it work?
also is the US AC adapter can actually be plugged in this? :

Thanks in advance.
Shovel Knight is so good on this platform. Just lovely. I hope this becomes an indie utopia. Blaster Master and Stardew Valley will be awesome to have. I have high hopes. Great piece of tech.
