How's the official switch case? Look durable and snug and won't mess up the analog sticks?

You could do it on Dreamcast via VMU.

Here we go. Keep up the reporting everyone. Part of me hates this part of launch. So much hyperbole mixed with genuine issues it's hard to sort it out.

This is a fair assessment. I think by now all Day 1 adopters, like myself, know exactly what to expect.

Schreier causing trouble already I see

Don't know how it's disappointing because Nintendo themselves already said 2.5 hours.
interesting! I thought wifi interruption might be fucking up with it too. However, mine is connected to 5ghz and I still had a few issues that are visible from the video I posted.
Come on, neither of the other two consoles had anything similar to the latter two at their launches. The synchronization issues are the only legitimate point he has here.
Why do people care about the activity log?
They also state that Zelda is everything you hoped for and more.
Not sure if it's relevant but Gameblog.fr just showed screens of Zelda (ultra low quality + thumbnails).
It's probably spoiling, so click at your own risk.

At least we get an update on day 1 and can use online and friendlists. Still a bummer we won't habe the VC until...whenever.

How are people going to know how long they've been idle in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe otherwise?

We are getting different battery durations of the same game on standard settings. Weird.
Could it be that some batteries are damaged or aged in a bad way during storage?

Could be worrisome. Only thing keeping me calm is the fact that I did nott read a single report of this issue from any of the recent media or public events. Was literally thousands of people's accounts and none mentioned this issue. I am betting is a bug that was introduced in one off their final builds of the release OS that (now reported, possibly known) will get patched asap.
Just REALLY hope its not in any wany a bad batch of hardware

So when people call you a filthy liar for saying you use the Wii U browser every day you have evidence to back it up.

They also had a much better launch line-up though.
Edit: On the subject of activity log it kind of sucks but isn't a big deal. I honestly think all the consoles should have them, sad to see Nintendo moving away from having it.
It's a neat feature.
Then why didn't he say "bad launch lineup" if that's the actual indicator of a rushed launch?

Probably people playing the game in more demanding areas that uses more system power thus giving us different times.
A better test would be to load up a brand new game and let it sit until it dies on multiple units.
"Here buy all of the same AAA games again already released on our last console with better performance."
To be fair, PS4's launch lineup / OS features aren't really relevant in 2017. Switch will be compared to what's currently available.
In this thread someone has already said they have not had the issue, and only 4 reports so far of it happening, at least going off this and the other thread.

Hot damn! One of the guys from NWR (Nintendo World Report) has some fantastic news about the battery dying! Apparently if you let it go all the way down, the system kicks itself into sleep mode and saves your progress.
His accidental test allowed him to resume playing after 30 minutes between the battery dying and docking the console. That's fucking ace.

Agreed.
My favorite launch flub ever? The iPhone 4 touch-the-bezel-and-lose-service issue,
The bending iPhone is second to that.

Yes. Still am. Zelda previews tomorrow!
Nope and Yes.
The Charging Grip and Pro Controller both come with USB-C cables. I don't have my tape measure right now, so I'll say at least 5 feet, possibly 6?
They're the kings at NDA breaking. For horizon they tweeted the running time days before the embargo ended and posted their review an hour too early.

That's pretty awesome actually. That'll be a lifesaver.
That's neat!

The unit auto-adjusts brightness based on the light level in the room, which probably has a very huge effect on battery life.

Character limit? Though he should have said that in the Tweet maybe.
I don't think the assertion he makes is unfair based on everything we've seen, it feels like Nintendo just aren't ready yet.
Switch isn't launching in 2013.
Same two reasons I keep a game journal... I won't remember what I played and when otherwise, and secondly it helps me controls the amount of gaming I do per week. "Oh shit I played 20 hours of Wii U this week, better tone it down some." etc etc.
The activity log on the 3ds was my favourite OS feature there. The one on the Wii U was less good but still used weekly by me, anyway.
But why? What use does it have?

This is TREMENDOUS stretch.
That Schrier tweet is a fuckin joke. The controller synching will be fixed with a patch and VC missing launch being anything other than mildly disappointing is manufactured outrage.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook

I love the hardware concept, and think it looks great with a perfect concept for me.
Execution for this launch is severely lacking though.
I feel like in a year's time everything will be all good. I just hope momentum can keep up until then. :/
You know, at the end of the day this is the most important thing for me.
That's a really great feature! Should give the guy who became paranoid when the battery reached its last half hour some peace of mind.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
True. I never read it anywhere up to now.

I really like Jason, but apart from the worrying sync issues (which may be completely fixed in the day one patch), it's a tad nonsensical to call this undercooked.
No VC and activity log as a basis for such a negative statement? Come on bud.
How did zelda run?
So if you're on your bed and it dies and you wanna continue playing, you have to wait 30 minutes after you dock/plug it?
