They were locked away in stasis, hidden from the human world, in an antiquated piece of obsolete entertainment tech known as a VHS cleaner tape. Their restful prison, where they would remain until the end of time, was foolproof.
But thanks to a greedy shop owner and an analog cinephile named Joe, those mischievous creatures not of this world were free once more. They would make Joe pay for disturbing their slumber.

So... last time I was on this thread, I was complaining that my Switch was shredding battery in standby mode when I took it to work, and would be hot by the end of the day. I have solved the problem: I disconnected from the company wi-fi network. Result: the Switch is cool and the battery power looks the same at the end of the day as when I took it out of the dock in the morning.
Has anyone else noticed anything similar? If I leave my Switch in the case at home (as opposed to the dock), it doesn't lose battery power. I don't think the company wi-fi has a weak signal, either. Weird. Still, at least I don't have to send it back to the big N.
@607jf If you're certain it's the battery, send it to Nintendo ASAP. You don't want to mess with batteries that start bloating. Chances of it catching fire are very slim, but it can always leak, or damage the internals. Although I presume that's less of a problem with the Switch, where there's nothing between the battery and the case. Either way, Li-ion batteries can fail, and they can damage the device as a result.
@Octane I was planning on sending it in next week, I've had it for awhile but it hasn't got worse but I figure I'll get it looked at be for my year is up. I just hope they don't send me a replacement with dead pixels.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Not getting excited by a rumor, but, if true, that's FANTASTIC. Maybe it'll be announced in the upcoming Direct? If it comes with The Stick of Truth, I'll preorder it.

After years of third parties reporting underwhelming sales of their games on Wii/Wii U, it's nice to hear about all of the success they've having on Switch.

The Wii U was definitely a toxic console that's for sure. People just didn't want to buy games on that machine
@Ralizah Unfortunately, the chances of it coming with Stick of Truth are slim. The likely reason that Fractured But Whole is coming is that the Snowdrop engine was already ported over for Mario and Rabbids and Starlink, while Stick of Truth is on the Onyx engine, which is obsolete afaik.
On the other hand yes! I called this as soon as Mario and Rabbids engine was announced! Now the only question is if that means we might get The Division as well...? I still don't think so, but it's not out of the question.
Hamster must be raking it in with Super Mario Bros Vs. It's number 1 in the US and will likely hang around the top 10 for months to come. Pretty sure Nintendo will be taking a larger cut than SNK do but still, what a catch for little ol' Hamster.

Nintendo does a good job with moving past trends, but it failed to realize keeping the kid-casual Wii ad/branding was old. Switch is a whole new idea with the adults/cool kids/Karen in mind.
This is a tl;dr of the whole marketing strat. Let's watch and listen very closely.
