Support NeoGAF

[hiphoptherobot]

It's certainly not anti-switch gaf. Just ocd gaf.

I find faults in everything and normally have to go through about 10 exchanges before I'm happy lol.

Here's a question though, fan noise? Does the fan kick in on boot up? I'm curious whether it's passively cooled until it hits a certain temperature, or on all the time changing rpm depending on load.

Havent noticed fan noise if there is any. But I imagine it won't kick in until playing a game. (which I don't have.)

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Saw this on reddit.
The logo becomes the joy-cons on the side :O

Man, someone on reddit took my gif from neogaf, which has now been reposted on neogaf.

So now that there's a unit in the wild, how does the Wifi access work with a network that requires web login?

Hopefully you can test the bluetooth headset on it

Thanks for answering. Yeah I'm aware you have no games, but was curious if there was any obvious fan noise while even booting up, similar to what you'd expect with a laptop etc.

I'm hoping the switch is passively cooled with the fan only kicking in when it reaches a certain temperature.

 

[BY2K]

Oh awesome, it does the click sound when you boot it!

I was so upset that I couldn't use my Uni's wifi to download games on the eShop. This must be answered . It didn't even need web login, just put in your credentials, but 3DS didn't support the whatchamacallits. I hope the Switch supports more network types

I bet it just plain doesn't.

Does anything happen when you click the user icon on the top left of the menu?

This.

 

[UncleSporky]

I'm trying to answer as much as possible but also have other things to do. But I will answer what I can. I couldn't tell but not that I can notice. If you watch the new unboxing video you can see that it opens up and you can insert the hdmi and ac cables as well as a USB port.

Thanks for taking the time to try to answer our questions! I hope you don't get in trouble for ignoring the other stuff you gotta do. Hang in there.

 

[RichiRamjag]

I'll wait until they sort the dust situation before buying.

Oh shit. I just lost it at this post! I'm dying over here.

 

[routerbad]

I bet it just plain doesn't.

The leaked docs detailed a web applet for use in displaying web content in applications. This same web applet would be used to handle captive portals.

 

[Easy_D]

So what, it's not a dead pixel... it's much worse, crossing my fingers it doesn't happen to me, I don't want my Switch to come with other people's dust. Fucking Nintendo.

This scenario could very well have been a Huelen thread.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I'm assuming they won't be able to link their Nintendo Account to see how the Friends stuff works or they'll get in trouble?

Could do but I bet it won't.

I'd like to know these as well. Though obviously the first is a lot easier to test.

Someone get this guy to a motel 6 STAT.

[Camp1nCarl]

I didn't see any Bluetooth options in the System Settings, however Airplane mode mentioned turning off Bluetooth. I'm very curious if any of the current Bluetooth headphones work on it (Airpods, BeatsX, Jaybirds, etc.).

 

[UltraMagnanimous]

What is shown when you click on the cards in the news menu?

Can you use the UI by touching it/pressing buttons?

Have you attempted to download the update?

 

[Tavernacle12]

So far as I can tell, the stuff we still haven't seen yet are:
-Mii Maker
-User menu
-Parental Controls on console
-Photo editing (which was taped but blurry, so we at least know what it consists of)
-Second screen of character portraits
-Instruction Manual

Is that it?

I don't understand this question, you can see it in the videos.

He has, and an error message appeared.

Does the console have a charge before opened? I'm gonna grab it at midnight with my wife and I wanna know if i'd be able to start it up before I'm home

 

[duckroll]

Games.

Come on, this is a thread about the UI and OS.

 

[Tavernacle12]

Its not called as such but it's in the settings menu.

Thanks, I missed both of those. /watches again/.

Edit: I really should stop scrubbing through videos... plain as day!

 

[jrush64]

Those YouTube comments shitting on GAF

loool at your gif.

Why are they shitting on GAF?

 

[wmlk]

The chime when you start the console is the most lame thing. Why not just have the "click" sound?

Literally sounds like a filler track.

 

[tali'zorah84]

I wonder if the patch will go live when review units go out, that must be within the next few days.

Does any electronic device come without any charge?

I guess youre right, silly question.

any new device with built in battery always comes with battery charged (not full of course)

It's a lot of haters out there. Mostly residual hate from politics and gamergate, I imagine.

 

[runnin_blue]

I'm resisting watching the unboxing vid. I want my Switch unboxing to be fresh.

 

[WonderRade]

Has anyone considered the fact that under the dust... there might be a dead pixel?

d if so ill be happy to take someones cancelled preorder

Because Amir0x is gay

 

[Icolin]

I don't know, but it's the same old "Sony paid shills" and "SJWs" stuff that people have been saying about GAF.

Not to mention the use of homophobia and accusing GAF of shitting on anything non Sony or whatever.

I just think it's funny seeing people getting so angry over GAF and making the most baseless assumptions and childish remarks.

 

[RichiRamjag]

loool at your gif.

Why are they shitting on GAF?

Some goofball ass dudes that think they're better than gaf users (some are even active users in sure) like to follow gaf threads (as they don't have shit else going for them)and talk shit about gaf in YouTube comments and that site they were banished to after Reddit gave them the boot.

 

[EloquentM]

I missed the playful tone of Wii/3DS/Wii U menu. Hopefully we get themes and a healing menu theme song?

Leak mentioned themes...

It does have the click sound.

Look along here (sorry for the crap arrows). It's on the first video here https://vid.me/oQkO During the white screen I can literally see the strip of edge lighting

Unless we can get footage post wipe, I'm still #teamstuckpixel.

I'm not actually serious, but some of us are gonna get dead pixels, it's inevitable

It get's worse. I just watched the unboxing and noticed no manufacturer seal....

Would be fun if the eShop update worked and downloading Zelda was possible

Well shouldn't eshop or other online functions be up soon because reviewers have the switch now?

Maybe that can still happen

I think reviewers had to wait for the day 1 Wii U update but my memory's a bit foggy.

 

[WordAssassin]

I'm not sure what that is but it's important to note this is not an actual first unboxing, Robot unboxed it, made his video, got in contact with Flo, repackaged the Switch, and then filmed an unboxing. So if there was some kind of seal, it was broken or removed when Robot actually opened his Switch the first time.
