Maybe the first example? Again, nothing wrong with someone spending their time and risking their capital for a profit.

I'm sorry, I simply won't subscribe to the "capitalism makes it okay" philosophy.

Anyone who buys a brand new [anything] with the explicit purpose to immediately resell it for $200+ over MSRP, is a dick.

I have literally never heard of anyone mad at resellers of anything other than tickets until this page of this thread.

Happens with everything Nintendo these days. Amiibo, limited editions, NES mini and now this. It's kind of **** that you have to fight with resellers on launch days but at this stage I'm convinced Nintendo are doing this on purpose to create artificial demand so they're also to blame.

The screen is plastic and really easy to scratch, people are scratching it while docking for example. I really don't like screen protectors but it's pretty much a must. Wish they used gorilla glass.

Also I'm happy I got lucky with EB exchanging my Switch with the dead pixel because Nintendo don't give a ****. It kind of feels like they used a bunch of the cheapest components where possible.

And in a total opposite-world wtf, people should absolutely NOT buy the Hori Premium screen protector. Apparently they used an adhesive which melts when subjected to the increased heat of the dock Only the premium model, AFAIK.

Another idea (maybe a good idea in addition) is to cut down a piece of microfiber and using double sided tape soften the inside areas of the dock like Nintendo should have done in the factory.

I read that docking scratches were only affecting the plastic non-screen portions. Is that not the case?

In the interests of the other side, I say get a PSVR.

I can pretty much guarantee you'll think - more likely say out loud - "holy s*** this is amazing!" more times in the first few days using it than you will for the lifetime of the switch. Unless it makes you sick.

There will never be any "VR attachment" for the switch. The screen is worse than "an average experience", it's completely unacceptable for VR.

Both are expensive endeavours with a limited library.

But then I would have no intention of ever removing it from the dock, a good chunk of it's features are wasted on me.

Here's the example pic from one article: http://www.glixel.com/news/youre-goi...switch-w470245



Not the "display area" of the screen, but still the screen cover. And really noticable, if this sort of thing will cause you distress.

Note the display area will scratch just as easily, it's just a little less likely you'll put it in the dock so off-center that it contacts there. Of course other non-dock dangers could easily damage an unprotected switch screen if this is what the plastic dock does to it within a week.

Toys R Us has Switch this morning

My friend just walked up to get one with no waiting in line; they have 34 more

It never ceases to amaze me how Nintendo can get the software so right and the hardware so wrong. I had to buy an additional USB drive just to download Zelda on the Wii U. Ridiculous. That, and the silly resolution on the thing. They need gorilla glass, larger hard drives, etc. At least offer a version of the unit that allows you to pay more for that.

Wii U Zelda only takes up like 3 GB, right?

I thought it was 13gb but you're better off asking in the Zelda thread.


FFS what a disaster. The scratches would annoy the hell out of me even if it wasn't directly on the screen, wtf Nintendo.

3 gig

13 gig

:shrug:

It's 3GB if you buy the disc, 13GB if you buy it digitally because 10GB for the game itself in the digital download

10 Gbs for the digital download. I could not get a CD copy in time for the weekend Zelda party at my house.

Reminds me of when BLOPS II came out. People were lined up at GameStop hours before midnight to pick it up; the next day i waltzed into Toys R Us in my way to school and picked it up for $10 less, no wait.

I suppose my responses to people genuinely upset about these kinds of resellers would be:

1) Nintendo may well want it, so direct your ire at them, or if Nintendo doesn't want it then they should have raised prices or increased supply.

2) You're such a baby that, with the barrels full of excellent pieces of past/present entertainment readily available, you NEED to have this Nintendo system NOW?

3) One-and-done event tickets could be more of an ethical debate because you usually can't just wait 3 months to re-experience the thing at its set cost. I guess you're like "it should just go to whatever random fan could have gotten it at $100 rather than the scalper". I'd say it's fine for the scalper to get it and filter down to the people who REALLY want it at $300, but at least I can see the argument. Don't think this applies as strongly with consumer products.

Huge thread on Reddit about dead pixels. Nintendo will not offer refunds.

And Nintendo is saying don't play it near microwaves, cordless phones, laptops, etc. or the controllers will stop working.

Lol Nintendo hardware.

Yeah I've had a few sync issues with the controller and rather than just stopping Link seems to run in a random direction. Happened once late in a boss fight and caused me to die which was pretty tilting.

Nintendo's attitude towards the dead pixel thing is pretty worrying, thankfully I don't have any though (yet).

Since it looks like the Hori screen protector is junk and causing issues with bubbling etc, what are you guys going with for a good screen protector that doesn't detract from the screen quality? I wasn't planning on getting one so I can enjoy portable mode better, but it sounds like without one is an issue with scratching it when docking even if you are careful.

Finally got my Neon Switch and copy of Zelda, going to open them tonight. I'm VERY worried about a lot of the issues that have been popping up but I haven't had a Nintendo system in forever and this system really fits a need since I game where the 4 year old likes to watch TV a lot.

Soooo if this thing isn't a Nintendo product and released with Zelda it's an immediate failure correct? Like if Nvidia had released t with so many issues? I was vaguely interested because I still yearn for quality Nintendo products but this sounds like it's crap, other than a neat concept

Got mine today. Had it fired up and running Zelda in under five minutes - surprised the controllers already had enough of a charge to play for a while. No dead pixels on my set I can see.

Frankly as long as the Zelda was good I was going to be fine with this purchase - it's my all time favorite franchise and while I just started playing today, this definitely looks like a game I can sink many many happy hours into.

My only issue is something that is 95% my fault, but it definitely irritated me. I wanted to start playing with the joy cons separated in my hands that see what that was like, so I went to slide the little protector/wrist strap things on. I accidentally tried to put the right con one on upside down. And goddamn if that thing isn't permanently stuck now.

So now I can't charge my right joy con. I spent a good 15 to 20 minutes trying to get that sucker off. Absolutely no chance of doing it without destroying the controller. Now, I get this is my fault for attempting to put it on backwards. However, I have to assume that this is a mistake others will make as well, given that the little controllers can easily be mistaken for right or left at a quick glance. Issue could have been avoided altogether if they had made it impossible to slide those ****ers on the wrong way. Now I have to spend FIFTY bucks to replace it. Again, mostly my fault, but I pity the poor kid/parent who makes the same mistake.

Check around online. It is possible to get them off, it's just really really really really really hard.
