I haven't heard anything else about that either. If it exists, it could be part of a day one patch.

Also, anyone want to see a stupid video of a guy constantly pushing over a Switch on purpose?

This is probably revenge for those unboxing youtube comments

smh

I mean, I'm also concerned about how flimsy the kickstand looks, but that video... yikes.

Thanks to the sleep function and the fact that switch games are cartridge based you can jump into a Zelda game within 10 seconds from passing the power button. It's really incredible, a gamer's dream!

I play my PS4 on a computer monitor. I plug my headphones into my controller with the regular headphone jack.

I can't do that with the Switch right? Can't plug my headphones directly into the joycons or the joycon adapter. Can I buy a wireless headphone I can plug into the dock or something?

You can plug headphones into the console while it's in the dock.

Looks so seamless, I don't tend to use sleep mode on PS4 because I find the big flickering light distracting but this seems perfect.

Any chance that mario kart will have a demo available prior to release (close to switch launch lol)?

it's not even 10, that was about 6-7 seconds from the moment he presses power.

Even faster... it takes at least 11 seconds to boot up an NES game because you have to blow the cartridge.

Is there any info on save file location with physical games? Are they stored on the game card or on the console?

Console.

 

[Rodin]

Glad that people are starting to see why so many of us were so vocal about wanting gamecards instead of discs during the speculation days.

 

[Lexxism]

Console.

Did we get any info if you can put the save file on the micro sd? or it's only on the 32gb internal storage?

I don't think that's specified yet, but I might have missed it

 

[Flying Toaster]

I imagine you will be able to transfer the save files from internal storage to the micro sd card or will be able to transfer over a network PC.

I've been meaning to ask, any reports on if you can lay the dock down and use it that way rather than standing up? I want to put the Switch where my Wii U is now but it wont fit in the space standing up.

Holy crap! That's almost faster than the time it takes for me to alt-tab to a game on my laptop.

That OS is no joke! Remember how insanely slow the Wii U OS was day one?

 

[Protome]

I mean, I'm also concerned about how flimsy the kickstand looks, but that video... yikes.

It's pretty clearly just meant to be them re-enacting ways the kickstand failed in real use for them, not just going "Did you know if you push down on it hard enough the kickstand comes off!"

But people will take it as the latter because the internet.

Day one? The Wii U's OS is still insanely slow. I think the Xbox One has just made people forget about it.

 

[Sheentak]

Any thoughts on the switch screen protector and case?

This is an invitation to play. Absolutely amazing.

 

[Skyzard]

Having a quick resume from standby is so beneficial, to a handheld especially. Was a big contributor to me loving the Vita with how fast you can get into a suspended game.

Pick it up and play. I'd consider it vital now.

I'm really having trouble justifying the purchase of a pro controller at this point, when for $20 more I can get two more joycons and do 4 player stuff. The joycon grip sounds A-OK

 

[Wil348]

Any word on how long the battery lasts in sleep mode (both when an application is and isn't running)?

Also, what happens if you leave the Switch docked when the battery is fully charged? Is there a chance it could overcharge the battery?

THIS is the type of thing I want a console OS to get right on day one.

The added fluff can come later, but this shit makes a system inviting to actually PLAY on

 

[antonz]

Feel like you are missing the point. No one is pretending its a new feature or anything. Sleep has been a feature across multiple Nintendo devices now.

What people are excited about is just how streamlined Nintendo has gotten it that its super fast. Exiting sleep mode and able to play within seconds is something to be excited about.

Any word on how long the battery lasts in sleep mode (both when an application is and isn't running)?

Test showed the Switch lost 2% of its battery charge over 8 hours in sleep mode. So it has a very good sleep mode. Streetpass etc. absolutely decimated 3DS battery life. Overcharge should not be a problem with any modern device

dude this is stupid fast. this plus no disk install equals almost instantaneous fun whenever. only thing left is for devs to lay off on the day one patches.

damn, looks like it could have been quicker too if he clicked the game icon sooner

like 5-6 seconds from power to being able to run around in Zelda

I love the suspend / resume function on the XB1 and PS4, but this is some next level shit. A game changer for me, personally.

[broncobuster]

Is there an idea of what the airflow is like when docked? Say, if I were to put it against a wall, would that block anything important?

I'm trying to see the best place to put it without moving other systems. Thinking if I put my Wii U vertical, placing them side by side could work.
