WiiU or Wii? Because I'm pretty sure the WiiU was blown right open by the browser using a WebKit exploit.
I remember reading here on GAF that someone contacted Nintendo with this question and it was possible, but it would remove all purchases from the account. Not sure if that'd still be the case, but might not be that successful.Ughh... Contacting the support then
Why not change your Nintendo Account, import the people you want, and change it back?
Can you test the local play after the 3.0 update??

Really?
That's right, my mistake.

Yeah did that now, but contacted them anyway. It's not like all my 3DS / Wii U friends have a Switch already

Gonna have a 8 Switch LAN party after tomorrow, will let you know how it goes, typically we just connect to the wifi due to how bad the local play is.
I always have 1 bar when I'm on bed, I'm having 3 bars now. Sounds too good to be true but it is!
They need to fix that terrible dpad if they want the pro controller to be viable.

It's mostly heresy but I've gotten a full signal bar since the update.
It's never gotten passed 2 bars since I've owned the Switch.

What's the point of inverting the colors?

Unfortunately not. This should mean it's theoretically possible for a driver to be written, though.
You can already use the controller on a PC over bluetooth, btw.
It's for those with inverted vision. Now they can see the colours the way everyone else can see them, instead of seeing them inverted.

Colorblindness.
They increased the max volume on headset. What the update tells you is that they lowered the default headset volume to compensate.
What games will you play?
Is there really a problem with LAN play on the Switch and 8 players? I remember playing Mario Kart DS LAN play with 8 people back in 2006, and it was glorious.

Is it reporting correctly now? Mine has had a weird bug lately when I turn it completely off of losing like 20% , but lasting longer...

It would look just as fucked up to them because it's not what they are used to seeing.
FIFA?

Yep! News feed has spreadsheets to help you figure out which version to preorder.

Change to your previous country, link the NNID, add your friends and change back to your current country. ;-)

My PC doesn't have a Bluetooth receiver and my laptop and connect with it properly. The connection constantly drops for a few moments during games. Hence why a wired solution would be ideal. Here's hoping someone writes a driver.

Mario Kart 8 and Arms. Mario Kart 8 was literally unplayable on LAN, with 4 Switches we get regular disconnects, worked perfectly fine on online.
12 local friends playing Mario Kart locally is one of the most fun experiences I've ever had, I have friends that haven't owned a Nintendo system that are getting Switch, I am extremely happy with what Nintendo is achieving here.
No one wants to manually delete a hundred fucking animal crossing turnip hookups from their switch friendlist.
Does such a medical condition even exist? I thought I just made it up lol

Would it be a medical condition? How do you know you and I don't see inverse of one another? We'd both still see a full spectrum...
Wifi is definitely better. I can actually CONNECT TO THE INTERNET and also PLAY GAMES from the couch without a wired connection.
Adding friends via 3DS and Wii U is also great, I sent a request to everyone who wasn't already on my list. Hopefully we see some more big updates throughout the year.

What are you talking about? I've said nothing about the quality of the update.

Yeah, I hear you. I have my own unique reasons for desiring a wired connection. I might try my hand at it myself, though I've never made something as complex as a driver before. We'll see

That's what they call 3.0? Besides the News thing there's basically no new features here, just some minor improvements. Disappointing. I mean, not a bad update as such, but a full version number increase makes you expect a bit more
Lol who cares about how they call it?
Major version number updates mandate real changes. This changelog reads like a bug fix release.
Maybe there are significant changes under the hood, who knows. I just hope we don't run out of numbers before they're satisfied with the firmware.
There's a whole bunch of *new* features in there.
This isn't Apple, where they release a new major 1.0 update every summer. It's been three months since the console launched.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Did you turn off auto brightness?
I play at night sometimes from my bed while the wife goes to sleep.
Itll get darker if you turn off auto brightness even if you turn it all the way down with auto on.

What's the point??
To get a free acid trip by playing fast RMX or Thumper in that mode

I just noticed the controller update function. Curious when they'll update them, I assume around the big summer update with the online stuff that they'll turn of the LED notification in the Home button, but we'll see.
That'd be great, if you need some help send me a message. I have some basic programming know, so maybe I can help with it! ^^Yeah, I hear you.

The wifi thing is weird because mine has been basically flawless all throughout my house since launch. Glad they're fixing it for others with firmware (somehow?).
Also I like your hearsay typo. Burn the wifi heretic!
