Let me get this straight.

A store fucked up insanely and gave a gaffer the switch early ... and JUST the switch.

Like he has 2 weeks of a console without any game or any eshop access ?

The hate for 1-2 Switch not being Wii Sports like game is getting over 9000 xD

Can I ask for a screenshot on Portuguese language to see if it is european or brazilian ?
It is probably european but who knows ?

It does the click sound at start up! Yees!

Also black theme mode! I really hate when everything is all white. I prefer black. I'm even using the dark theme here on neogaf.

No, they don't. My campus WiFi needs both a password and a username, and my 3DS can't connect. I had to have someone come by and connect it to a network specifically for devices that can't connect to the normal network, because they don't want people knowing the password.

Really? When's the last time you updated your 3DS? Mine can connect to Starbucks through the web browser

I'm gonna use my Mii like I always do but I'll be damned if "Blue Pikmin Eating Shit" isn't a strong contender

Those Splatoon character icons has me wishing they'd have a way to turn your Splatoon 2 character into user icons. It's not the type of thing I'd see them adding at all, but it's nice to dream.

Their campus might be like mine, where it also needs a certificate installed.

Where are you from? If you buy through Amazon Global the weight of the package doesn't matter that much.

Amazon is charging me 28 euros for shipping from Germany to Uruguay.

EDIT: I see that you are from Colombia. Here in Uruguay the Switch will probably cost around USD 600 too, I preordered mine from Amazon Germany for 390 euros, around 415 dollars.

It doesn't matter the method, once the package arrives to the airport, if the package aren't well documented (mainly tax costs), local customs can easily kidnap and stole the package.

Almost all the stuff I buy from the US/Europe, I use a courier to avoid (legally) every tax if the weight of the package doesn't exceed 4lb (using the national postal service courier 4-72, it's a national law)...

If it's not delivering a web portal for those credentials, that's not a captive portal, that's an authentication system that uses radius (most likely) or LDAP (if it's a windows domain) for login to the wireless AP's

We use these at work, similar issue, can't connect 3DS. Captive portal would deliver a web page to ask for credentials after you've connected. 3DS handles captive portals just fine

Why isn't this hiphop person giving us more info? He knows he has a brand new Nintendo system in his hands and he can't just tell us simple things like what happens when you click the user icon? If I had the system all I'd be doing is making videos to show people as much as I can.


🙂

Just joking, but I would love to see more videos though.
im getting desperate lol

Looks lovely and responsive. What a big step up compared to Wii U.
Can't these two weeks that are left just fly by? It's so hard to wait.

And it doesn't matter what the value of the product is? That's better than what we have, we can avoid paying taxes if a product costs less than USD 200, weight doesn't matter. But each person can only do it 3 times a year.

According to Amazon it's 3.8 lbs, but I've found that Amazon's info isn't always 100% accurate, so I wouldn't risk it and I would look for further confirmation.
 
The snap sound on boot up is majestic. I remember when the PS4 launched and because of one online ad, we all assumed the PS logo splash on startup would be accompanied with the PS2 "dwoop" sound.

It never happened :(
 
Man I REALLY wished we could see the eshop. To me that's HUGE because we don't know anything whatsoever about it and the eshop is way more important than the UI.

Like will there be VC games in there?? And what other digital games are there. What does it look like? I'm hoping not long he won't get the error message to be able to do the update.

Looks awesome! As a minimalist I absolutely adore this sleek, slick minimal UI style. Also: RGB range is a thing! This wasn't the case on Wii U, wasn't it?

On mobile now, but briefly watched the video earlier, and skimmed the first few pages and didnt see anyone mention the, "Connect to TV"(IIRC) option. Id think that if that means to connect to the dock, then shouldnt it say that? It made me briefly think that maybe it could wirelessly connect to a smart tv or something. Though I think lag would be a major issue. So what was that option? Does it just tell you how to setup the dock to the TV?

Do you mean "Auto Sleep (Connected to TV)"? I'd assume that's how long until the Switch automatically goes into sleep mode while docked.

One last question HHR can you check the add friend option on your profile? The leaked docs mentioned friend codes but didn't have a feature adding friends by user name. Thank you!

Some pictures of internet setting, the screen that you get when you click on your profile pic in the top left corner of the homescreen and a picture if the screen capture editor.






and maybe a picture of my dog because he is being super cute and after a long day of answering questions he is helping keep me sane.

Your dog is cute! And thanks for all the info dump!

Was there a film over the screen when you open it? Want to know if I can just take it out before my tempered glass screen comes.

This is the pic we need to talk about.

-It has your friends list.
-You can add friends
-And it says to connect your Nintendo account for more online stuff.

I kind of want to see how you add friends
That's what I asked.

Oh yeah, thanks Hiphoptherobot!

Seeing the profile picture stuff is reminiscent of Xbox 360 and PS3/PS4 with being able to pose your Mii or selecting different characters from various series. I bet they're going to expand on that selection tremendously as time goes on.
