How can you not love the Dark Theme?! Does anybody else set Neogaf to Dark Theme too? Lol

He just needs to change his ssid. Maybe they can find the street but they won't get the house. But the Nintendo zombies will be massing soon so he had better hurry.
Eurogamer's written an article about the video, if this hasn't been posted already.

This system is such a departure for Nintendo. Not to sound like one of those guys but they really have made a console for adults. Great UI. Simple, clean, fast. Great hardware. Really excited about finally paying money for a Nintendo console and not feeling like I'm buying a compromised mess of plastic and poor TFT screens.
They've just absolutely nailed so many things. We can just hope their online thing just works and this requiring a smartphone thing is blown out of proportion (because that seems like madness).

I just discovered it the other day.
I set it.
My eyes bled.
I grew to love it.
Then it somehow reset back to white when I came back here.
I was sad.

Can someone tell me why RGB settings are exciting?
I don't know about the poster you quoted but I was thinking more along the lines of a burglary <_<
The only switch in the wild, worth more than its actual price, you never know.

Well, I'm not worried as I didnt do anything wrong, didn't expect this thing to be so big (I assumed I wouldnt be the only one who got a switch early) and new that the wifi would show up but didnt want to skip over that area of the UI and disappoint GAF.
The smartphone app should be an option, and perhaps it is, or will be. So no panicking yet.
I can see absolutely zero pros to having to use an additional device, it's not more convenient that using one device no matter how Nintendo try and spin it. I saw an interview with Reggie recently and he was getting so excited about it (I know he get's paid to do that lol) but nah it's not good, like at all.

Upcoming statement from Reggie:
"The leak is real, but the UI is fake."

/s thanks for sharing this hiphoptherobot!
Oh yeah and I'm so happy for the dark theme. I hate bright white backgrounds for UI. Don't set NeoGAF to the dark theme though, my eyes can't handle too much white text on black backgrounds, I literally have lines across my vision for ages afterwards (my eyes definitely are quite sensitive to light I think..).

Wii U had limited RGB output. Makes the image look more washed out which is kind of a bad thing since Nintendo's games rely so much on color
Is the update actually available to download yet?
Yep, that is what routerbad and I were discussing above! It's really strange that they're called points and not coins ... as you said, they go into a coin bank. A point bank, I guess. A fishbowl to store your points in, just like in real life. -___-
Here are the reward categories:

All of the discount coupon ones:

These are tied to the account.
These are the downloadable software ones, I forgot it's not only for gold points, in fact the ones here are only platinum points at the moment, but in the past for the full non-exclusive VC games they offered, you did need gold points to get those:

BTW, if there is a plat reward at the link just above that you're interested in, I don't think those are tied to the account and I have plenty of coins so I can get one for you if there's one you want.
Also, missions are here:

Many thanks for sharing this with everyone, man!
Too bad they didn't early-ship Zelda as well.
UI looks slick, lacks a lot of features though, I can't wait to see how the new E-Shop will look.
Also, Mii are still a thing!
Only washed out if you use a limited (16-235) in a display expecting a full (0-255), predominantly pc monitors. The flip side is crushed blacks if you send full (0-255) into a display expecting limited (16-235).
Most modern TV's expect 16-235 so it wasn't an issue, besides most tvs have the option to change the video signal they expect, and even modern monitors have the option of changing the rgb signal too.
But it's something that should have been there, and will be good to have in the switch for certain people.
"Boo-hoo Nintendo left me"
We eatin' fam. Ain't no one telling you to stick around for dinner.
lmao, not sure why he even bothers considering his other gems.
As well as this.
More on topic, I'm wondering if the "TV Resolution" options can go up to 4k if hooked up to a 4k set? Obviously the games won't render at that resolution, but maybe menus and media streaming can go up to 4k? I haven't delved into the specification leaks.
Aka: import Japanese games if you don't want to switch users every time to play them.
Is this different? Looks the same to me

Hmmmm. What's this?

Well, you should be fine but if someone comes knocking you probably don't have to tell them anything. Nintendo may be able to trace the retailer due to the MAC address though.
But I'm a little surprised you thought other people might have their consoles already! It's over two weeks from release, that's unusually early.
I'm really curious as to what it is you have to show now.

This looks important.
What is it?
Looks like they're uploading something.

Dont do this.
I wanted to thank you immensely for your kindness and availability to just make a bunch of jokers happy. Thanks.
Also, a (I hope) small request: I saw a Nintendo eShop window in the News menu. Can you click on that and check it, if possible? I suppose there could be images of the new eShop, a tiny but possibly interesting sneak peek.

Any updates on if you can power the system in from a detached Joy-Con
Only big thing I can imagine is Zelda slipping out early.
implying there will be a PS5 instead of a Vita 2 to compete with the Wii-esque numbers of the Switch

I can't hold onto this hype today.

Basically the best thing to hope for is that Arcanum lives half an hour from hiphotherobot and he was like "hey I didn't get the Switch, but Zelda was sent to me early..."
Sweet, today is a good day.

He's just uploading a video. Of what, we aren't sure yet.
Um, are you referring to this:
or this?:
The latter is just the "Basic Black" theme shown off in the video that comes with the system.

ARCANUM knows what nes game we are getting when we pay for our nintendo subscription.
