Both games have videos. They're mixed in with the screens in the gallery of the games.
Mine is secure. But my co-worker, his is like that too. His kick stand little loose too.

I was fooling around in the settings and noticed there's some stuff in there for "media playback" behavior in regards to sleep mode, separate from the game settings.
I know they said there won't be any Netflix at launch or anything, so is there currently media playback I'm not aware of (outside eshop trailers)? Can you record videos of gameplay or plop a movie on the SD card or something?
I didn't think the above was possible, so if that isn't the case, hopefully it means this stuff is coming a lot sooner than we expect.
My apologies if this has been discussed to death. I've been playing Zelda almost entirely since I got home from work.

Sorry if I missed this somewhere earlier but what are some must have accessories? I have the Pro Controller and the Official Carrying Case. I need a screen protector mostly. Anyone get tempered glass? If so, any recommendations? Thanks!
Snipperclips demo in TV mode stopped my Pro Controller from working. I had to restart the Switch.

I just want to confirm that the Nintendo Switch doesn't come wrapped in shrink wrap, correct?

I sure hope so, it's my biggest complaint with the OS, which is a positive for the OS in general.

Absolutely loving the Switch. But they gotta do something about Zelda's docked performance. Easily hitting single digit frame rate in open fields.

My initial impressions are a little lukewarm. The frame rate in docked Zelda is worse than I realized. I also don't like the 3D Bomberman story camera, which I half expected and Snipperclips kind of wore itself out faster than I'd hoped. I'm going to go play handheld Zelda in bed, though so hopefully that will really be the experience I'm waiting for.

No it doesn't, or no it should be wrapped?
It doesn't come with any tape or shrink wrap at all.

Thanks. I'm paranoid when I see something without shrink wrap. I picture the warehouse people playing with my Switch.

Not wrapped

This drop test isn't very scientific, but it is impressive that the switch's screen did not crack. The controllers did damage, but we can switch those out.
My iPhone 7 would've cracked on the first drop.

Yup. I rather have a plain UI that is fast any day.

Can't get my Switch to connect wireless or wired, anyone got any tips, this is starting to piss me off.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I'm the same way. For some reason Nintendo rarely seems to seal their hardware (aside from 3DS).

I'm pretty sure snipper clips doesn't support the pro controller
I regret spending $20 on Fast RMX. I just wanted something else to play instead of just Zelda, but I'm not really into it. :-(
Oh, I just encounter a horrible drop on Zelda when facing against some tall goblin creature. I hit it and it paused like a full second or more. Frame drops in general are more frequent than I expected after the reviews.

Switch seems to run pretty hot! And the OS UI looks like low res crap when on the TV., but games look good. Is this normal?

Have you tried rebooting your modem or router?

Yeah I think it's done to speed everything up and use less power, but who knows.

Mine finds it, but can't connect, not even wired. It loses my wifi connection sometimes, I believe the wifi just isn't that good.

I unplugged it. My phone, and ipad and everything else is working properly.
Man, this thing is cool. I'd been playing Zelda on the tv all day, but I just took the console for a spin in handheld mode, and then disconnected the joycons and set it up in a room with no tv in kickstand mode.....it's just NEAT and novel actually doing this in person lol. I'm pretty smitten with the possibilities now after having been all "I'm just using it as a regular console" all this time

Mine connected fine to wifi could it be IPv6? I know my galaxy 7 edge couldn't connect until I disabled ipv6
Try changing the wifi channel

I returned it.
The joycon issue is just not on. I'm not happy paying this much for a broken one. On top of that I'm asked to spend another au$100 for the proper controller. No thanks, you can have it back.
I really like it, but I cannot accept it in this state. Add to that Zelda's shitty docked performance which is how I'll play it. I'll just stick to my Wii U version for now.
I'll come back at a later time when all issues are fleshed out and hopefully cheaper then with some sort of bundle.

I can't believe how sturdy this is, wow!
Really like the hardware but there are glaring issues.
-The plastic screen feels rough to use with my finger. Don't know why glass wasn't used.
-The kickstand is trash.
-The dock feels cheap and the interior needs to be padded.
I adore the way it feels in hand though. The OS looks great. The ease of switching once docked is sexy as hell.
Revision 2 of the Hardware will be interesting.

I cut myself trying to get them off the first time. I hear it gets easier though.
It's wrapped, but you just unfold it and it slides out. There might be some weak glue holding the flap shut...don't remember.

Is there meant to be a slight gap in the plastic to the left of the vent? Not sure if it's a problem with my unit's back plate or if it's intended.

You didn't get an AC adapter at all? There are no other USB-C cables other than the AC adapter.

Many of these issues were brought up in previews and other hands-on, but I understand some people need and want to experience things for themselves.

Has anyone been able to connect this thing wired? I finally got it to work wireless by being right next to my router but this isn't convenient for me at all
Impulse bought today since Best Buy had a stack at noon, the new console hype got me totally planned on waiting since the launch lineup is pretty bad and didn't plan on finding one today.
Haven't had much time with it yet but seems solid, my update was done in like 30 seconds which was weird since my Xbox updated slow. I bought Zelda and the racing game for now. I hope the screen doesn't get scratched sliding in and out of the dock, that's my only concern
I noticed the left joy con was not fully charged and the right was, does this mean I got one of the systems with the connection issues and if so has Nintendo said anything about an update fixing it? Haven't played anything yet but to see but just curious.
Also do the joy cons charge only when docked on the system or are the charging when attached to the thing that makes it a controller?
I was in Walmart tonight and they had at least 10 pro controllers, I'm debating on getting one tomorrow but I've already spent enough and they are pretty expensive. Haven't owned a Nintendo system in a while and not familiar with the pro controllers but being an Xbox player it looks like something I might want.

Yeah mines the same way when in handheld, I just figured that's how it's supposed to be but I have no idea
