Nintendo Switch Previews are coming in
- Thread starter Dystify
- Start date
I would say only about half the games in previews used joy cons and the ones that did were almost all for games where each player got one. The issue might only apply when using both joy cons as one controller, just a guess though.
Sounds like that could just as easily be a hardware issue given that they're built differently.
Could be a lot more wireless interference in an office environment from various wireless access points/bluetooth devices than in a preview environment.
This is the timestamp where I show my weird L Joy-Con issues. It's not desynced per-se, but sometimes (rarely) I do experience input lag or sometimes no recognition of movement at all

Mr. Shibata of Nintendo of Europe put up an unboxing video that's much better than the one with that Nintendo Minute manchild. Not as good as the Wii U unboxing by Mr. Iwata though :'(.

Quoting myself from above that says otherwise. Where are you seeing the negative impressions?
Yeah, I think the media is doing something wrong.
Also, wondering if this happens when the JC is in the grip.

Hope it's not another launch PS3 issue of the sixaxis losing connection being a hardware defect.
Not sure if serious

If this is indeed a software issue that will be fixed shortly, Nintendo needs to get out in front of it real quick.
lol some of you are hilarious.

3hrs on Zelda. Not great, but that means games like Snipperclips should last like 6-7 hours, right?
They are recognised as different devices though, so it might be just a tad more than a coat of paint, probably not much more but still...

From the few previews I've read, it seems to be only the left JC and it's only when you detach it from the system. When playing in "portable" mode with both attached, it does not lose sync.
You know, while it's good to hear negatives and positives, are you gonna come into every Switch thread and just argue or post negative information?? Concern trolling?

Thank you. How about when in the grip? And how often is it happening?

Er, the laptop I'm on right this second is at 92% and has been plugged in for several weeks. You're saying that type of thing isn't normal?
That is quite weird, but how long was it docked for? Was it several days? I think 70s is a lot lower than anything I've seen though.

Issues with one of the main features of the console? Oh boy.
I don't disagree. But we don't even know 1) what the problem is, 2) how widespread it is, and 3) if it's a quick fix or not. Hence me saying, calm down and just chill.

That's kinda bad actually :\
I have been at 2 separate switch events and the total number of joycon was around 28 (going by memory), I spent a total of 8 hours playing and seeing a showcase of the console and nothing happened
So I would say that Italian preview units weren't affected by this issue
More like Fukashima.

Damn I have to work early today too. Sounds like I should have stayed home and made some popcorn.

Has gamexplain had this issue?

Which is strange, because it's not like there's any data connection when it's attached to the Switch.
So to me that seems like either a proximity issue or the dock interfering with the connection. But then the question becomes why it only happens with the left and not the right.
What a strange issue.

I haven't experienced any sync issues myself this week, but I haven't done a huge amount of Joy Con configuration-swapping and I haven't been able to try out any multiplayer (i.e. 1-2 Switch) yet. It makes a pretty great portable system, though:

Polygon said it was using the default Grip, which isn't the charging model. I'd have to rely on others to state the frequency.
Are these switchs already updated with the day one OS update? Would be interesting to know.

lol please tell me you were being serious.
Yes, that's not normal, better get the battery replaced or repaired if it's still under warranty.
No they aren't, I think Day One means Day One here (unfortunately).

But the JoyCon charge while connected to the Switch don't they? There has to be some kind of "direct" communication there for that to happen.
Nope! Every outlet I've checked in with said the update isn't available until launch day. Which is kind of annoying because it means no previews for eShop or confirmation of online features.
Weird.
How does it feel to play free handed though? Better than with the joycon grip?
That is for sure
I saw a 2/3 hours showcase of the final build right now and it run better than the preview build for sure
