@TheFatPlumber
my day 1 switch 2 is on a surge protected extension lead and still failed, i felt it was a heat issue, but thats because at the beginning people were complaining online about device temperatures and i have only my device to form an opinion on.
the nintendo uk website was really easy to deal with for the repair process

Re: Poll: Have You Had Issues With The Ethernet Port On Switch 2's Dock?

We had no wired connection after a few weeks and it wasn't a problem with anything except fortnite, it would get Super laggy with the characters rubber banding, so I went online @ Nintendo UK and filled in their form online and sent off the original dock.
I bought a backup doc from Amazon which worked fine wired, then less than a week I had a replacement dock stating that the Ethernet port was a problem and the wired connection worked straight away.
Recently it had it stopped working, so I've got my son to put the switch 2 into the third party dock, where wired work fine on a lan adaptor, plugged it back into the official switch to dock and it came back to the wired connection

Re: Switch 2 GameCube Controller Compatible With Other Games, But There May Be Some "Issues"

Yesterday I decided to cancel my GameCube controller order because I realized that I have numerous GameCube controllers and a wavebird for if I wanted to play GameCube games.
I wanted the new GameCube controller to play modern games with, as a bit of nostalgic fun, also having seen the reviews of the new Pro controller, I will be getting one, but I want one that isn't just black so I'm going to hang out till Christmas in the hope there's some themed ones coming out

Re: Weirdness: There Are Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Demo Codes Being Sold on eBay

Baloo

They are bad Nintendo fans, I got 4 free codes and I put them on Facebook and twitter to first comers as soon a I realised I had the email, game plays great.
I'm just gutted that I got a new yoshi 3ds xl to replace an original silver 3ds xl that had faulty speakers and if I had waited to register it I would have qualified in the new giveaway, because I am DEFINATELY getting smash bros, it's brilliant

Re: UK Retailers Call For Wii U Price Cut And Fresh Approach From Nintendo

Baloo

It's the games, priced at £49.99 a go they're too expensive, especially for parents of young children.
Download prices should reflect the cheaper cost to system, but Nintendo has always charged too much for d/l. I have a wii u as I love Nintendo and trust that the games will come (which they will) premium and exclusive titles will take time to utilise the gamepad, look at the problems publishers had with the wiimote a when that first came out. Poor use of wiimote or just plain bad motion controls improved with time. Sony failed with their attempt completely and they are way more expensive then nintendos offering
