I'll be picking up Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when it's out. I'm pacing myself with Breath of the Wild and am not even close to being done but I want it to last. I don't have much of a problem with holding the system as a handheld. It's actually pretty comfortable for me. I like using the Joy Cons individually though too.

Yup. It's laying on one of my Blu-ray players right now, although I'll probably get a proper stand one of these days. I'll take a picture when I get home.

Thanks! I'll have to pick up a USB-C Cable as well as an Extender sometime this week.

I got the Screen Protector on my Switch on (that came with the Carrying Case I bought) and it's currently just charging via the AC Adapter.

Stopped into my local Walmart and was surprised to see they had three Switch's in stock.

This is the cable I'm using.

This is how things currently look in practice, which, yes, I know, and I'm cringing too:



I'll probably put it on a charging cradle instead of just plopping it on another device one of these days.

I'm confused, does docking it not charge it? Or are people just worried about scuffing their screen still?

After a few days, so far my only issue with my Switch was the left joy-con disconnecting (which I hear I can fix with some foam.)

I was sure this would bomb. People seem positive, by and large. True? A co-worker brought his son to work over his spring break and he brought his Switch. He let me try Zelda and I was pretty impressed. I don't see myself getting one anytime soon, but still, it was much cooler than I thought it would be.

Docking does charge it, yeah. I'm only using that cable to avoid scratching the screen.

Makes sense, I was lucky enough to get a rather loose fitting dock.

Thank you! The link you posted has a cable that has only one USB-C end. Should I be looking for one with two?

I was at Office Depot yesterday and I was curious if the Switch would fit comfortably on one of those Tablet Stands.

It's definitely the reason why I'm going to do it as well, to avoid scratching the screen.

It's worth testing the dock before jumping to that point, but I can understand that.

I called Nintendo about my left Joy-Con, they sent me a shipping label and said it'd all be done inside a week. Stupid tri-wing screwdrivers.

Why not just buy a screen protector? I got the glass amfilm one and so far so good.

Good to know about the Joy-Cons! If mine has any issues, I'll go the same route.

I bought a Screen Protector on Launch Day. It's not a glass one but it's currently on my Switch right now.

There's a male USB-C plug in the dock itself. Press down on the plastic bit in the middle to expose it.

Best Buy here is stocking up for a Switch + Peripherals event on Sunday. Not sure if that's Nationwide or what, but yeah, for anyone looking.

Thanks again!

I bought a Hori Play Stand as well as a Hori Screen Protector.

The current Screen Protector I bought from Launch day doesn't go all the way to the edges. I loved Hori's Screen Protectors for my Nintendo DS, so it makes sense to go with them again.

No confirmation on whether the long loading times were fixed. Some players are saying around 50 seconds on the Switch, even with a patch.

Since it's a LEGO game, the price should be reduced in a couple of months or so. I enjoyed the little I played of it, but it's not worth $60 for me.

Yeah the game doesn't exactly look that much better than the WiiU version, plus you lose the tablet functionality. I dunno about paying full price for a port, even with reduced loading times. However I don't remember the original WiiU version dropping in price like other Lego games, though that may have been because of its exclusivity.

Like some other early Wii U exclusives (Pikmin 3 would be another), Lego City Undercover kinda vanished after a while. It was somewhat tough to find -- even at full price -- until the reprint / price drop last year.

It's an unbelievable game, though. My favorite Lego game that I've played for sure and one of the best titles on the Wii U of any genre.

So the Pro controller has some great heft to it and I really like it, but there really is something off putting about buying a $70 game pad. I felt kinda dirty buying it, was weird.

That said, I definitely like it.

It's pretty powerful for a tiny tablet, so that isn't a surprise. It's why the accessories are so expensive.

A single joy-con costs $45 to make? No fucking way.

If the cost of the console is legit, then that explains the mark-up on all the accessories. Gotta make it back somewhere.

I mean, the MSRP for pairs of 'em is $79.95 (which would be $90 to produce if that teardown were on the money. which wouldn't cover packaging, R&D, shipping, etc.), and a chunk of that goes to the retailer. There's no way Nintendo is taking a loss that steep. Or, well, I can't imagine that they're taking a loss at all.

Maybe after repair costs.

I called Nintendo about fixing my Left Joy-con on Monday, they e-mailed me a label, took it to UPS late Tuesday afternoon, and received the fixed one this morning at 10:30 AM (Friday). It was a 2-day shipping return label and the fixed product was shipped via next day. I could see that adding up.
