This should work for the LAN adapter
As for a USB C brick for the dock, it needs to be 30w or higher. I know the Apple USB-C bricks for the newer Macbooks are higher, but I haven't used on with my Switch as I don' t have access to one.

The thing supports 802.11a through ac, man. How much faster do you want?

Nintendo should really license tempered glass protector and get it out worldwide ASAP, it looks so good on the device too and makes docking lot more comfortable.
Also agree with those apps, if they make it that it can be full-fledged tablet and gaming device that would be god-sent.
Just attached the dock to my 1440p monitor and to my surprise it scales pretty well, Zelda looks awesome.
Has anyone come across a USB C charging cradle that can be used with Switch (and ships to EU)?
From this thread I found this one but it doesn't ship to my country. Sure Hori stand or even the Kid Icarus stand can be used with charging cable, but I'd prefer a simple cradle without the need of a separate cable.
There are probably a lot of compatible cradles, but I don't want to accidently purchase one that doesn't fit the Switch properly.

So apparently my dock just stopped working today. I noticed this morning that it didn't charge my Switch overnight. I put it in and out of the dock several times and the Switch wouldn't recognize it. I made sure everything was plugged in and had no issues there.
I unplugged the USB-C power cable from the dock and plugged it into the bottom of the Switch directly and it charged it just fine. So something is up with the dock itself. Any ideas?

Thanks for the response. Best of luck with it. I haven't really had much opportunity to play on the go yet, but I think my default solution may be to power down the system fully when travelling with it because in that case it seems only the power button will activate it, and that button's much less likely to be accidentally pressed than the home button or some random combination of inputs.

I had this issue last week. I was convinced I was going to have to send it in, but thankfully didn't. I'm honestly not entirely sure what fixed it. First I unplugged everything for awhile out of frustration and just played in handheld mode. Then I removed the power adapter from a power strip and plugged it directly into the wall and used a different HDMI cable to go directly into the TV (I'm normally running into a 5 port HDMI switch and then a AverMedia capture device before the TV). It finally started working again.
I'm not positive but it seemed to happen initially when I plugged in my power bank to the dock to charge while the system was in TV mode. Did you plug in anything to the dock before this happened?

I guess Steam download speeds have spoiled me.
This has happened to me several times. I keep pulling the switch out, put it back in sleep and try again. Eventually, I get the charging icon. My dock is not hooked to a tv, though. Only power.

Nope, nothing plugged into the dock except for the power cable and the HDMI cable. I was fine the last time I played it on my TV but honestly I play it in portable mode more than anything. I'll play around with it again tonight.

What's the best way to get Japanese eShop credit in the US? I want Othello.

Othello is on the US eshop in two days if you feel like waiting without tying funds to your Japanese account. But otherwise you can just log in to your Japanese account on a computer to easily add funds.

Ah! Didn't think it was ever coming to the US. I can wait. Thanks for the heads up!

Guys please write SEGA on Twitter to release Daytona USA (Xbox 360 Version) on Switch.
But will you write to Metalhead about bringing SMB2 to switch. :3
is that on the Japan eshop?So I just tried the DQH demo and I am bummed
I need to creat one. Do you get another friend code for each account?
Wait, which Zelda case do you have? The special edition sheikah case or something else? Because that sounds like a problem if it's gonna click onto sticks when closed.

I'm so excited for Virtual Console. It's a really pretty screen. Want to see some SNES / GBA on there. 🍴

I've read all around that people have buffering issues when watching videos on the eShop, has anyone been able to fix that using a plain old Wii/Wii U (or any 2.0) Lan adapter? And can anyone say if that helps with lag on games like Bomberman too? I'm really close to almost buying one (though i know that a 3.0 one would be better, it's just too expensive/unreliable where I live). I got through my whole Wii U's life just fine with the Wi-Fi, but I'm getting concerned that it might not be enough for the Switch...

The fact that Neogeo games and now the Seiken Densetsu Collection exist has me slightly worried about how soon we'll be getting an actual VC. I just hope it's sometime this year and not the typical Nintendo drip feed of titles.

I'm willing to sell a pair of joycons at cost plus shipping if anyone can't find a pair.

Go to System Settings > Scroll down to System > Select Console Battery (%)
First time playing Zelda and first time docking to tv.
My joycons both seem to suffer interference :/ at one point I thought the camera was restricted where I was but it was just the right joycon ignoring my input for several seconds
I'm about 8ft from the dock with nothing between. Lots of electronics in the room - it sits next to my vita and 3DS. But it's about two feet to the right of my tv and 8ftvaway from my router

There's an option for that. I only discovered this yesterday. You can also tap the battery icon to briefly display the percentage.
Oh nice! Thanks!

So I thought physical launch game purchases were going to be tracked for the whole My Nintendo thing. We didn't get any codes in the cases like we did for Club Nintendo.

Each cartridge has ID, press +/- in the start menu on the game thumbnail and you can redeem points for My Nintendo there.

My couch is just far enough away that my left Joy-Con doesn't work quite right. But when I move into an armchair that's a little closer, it works fine, even with the Dock behind the TV.
Sucks, but a minor annoyance for now until they inevitably come out with an improved Joy-Con.

Just go in the game settings while having the cartridge loaded, it's done online, automatically, no need for codes. Just make sure you are using it as the NNID you want to register it to.
Compared to what?
Oops! Playing with the j-cons attached. I've gotten 3:15 on a single charge playing botw. I'm cool if it can stil give me 2:50.
Wireless function? I usually have that off when I'm not downloading something, or playing single player.

Honest Question:
When can one expect a new version of the Switch?
Something like the 3DS -> 3DS XL; A change that fixes or improves the experience.
In the case of the Switch, I'm waiting for a version with improved battery life and less dock issues, and I'm willing to wait until there are more games on it too. (A price cut wouldn't hurt either, honestly.)
Any idea when that'll be?

The wireless is for.... internet? What does it have to do with tabletop mode?

Beginning of an era
Absolutely no idea and it may never happen. I'd say you're at least 2-2 1/2 years out if it does get redesign. Their home consoles typically don't get redesigns and if they do, it's several years in. Handhelds get one about 2 years in.
I would guess there will be small and not-announced revisions to the switch over the next 6 months (joy-con issues, bent dock, etc). Beyond that, the battery is already quite large in the switch, so you're going to be waiting for a while for that, probably 2 years for an actual XL-like revision.
Price cut happens much sooner than that.
Don't the jcons use the wireless connection when it's detached from the system ? I thought that would have an impact.
This is wishful thinking at best. I honestly can't see a price cut in the next 6 months. Certainly not until 2018.
Agreed, but still much sooner than a 2 year revision. Price cut happens first.

honestly we have no idea as for one of your questions dont expect battery life to improve the switch already has a huge battery in it.
