I've owned all four iterations of Switch and I've never used a screen protector. I always keep my Switch in its case, or in the dock. The only console that ever had an issue was OG Switch 1 which was scratched by the dock, but only the black edges of screen, not the pixels.
So if there are already 3+ million Switch 2 sold, and 10s of millions of users have Pokemon data on Switch 1, presumably 100s of thousands have safely transferred their data, maybe even a million. Because the reddit user deleted their post, there's no way to know if they are totally truthful. They may have discovered their Scarlet data was on a different profile. And there is no confirmation that they tried to contact Nintendo. There were similar stories about people losing their Animal Crossing data when sent to OLED, but Nintendo was able to restore those saves through customer service.
@UltimateOtaku91 Yesterday my battery only charged to 87 max (at 90 setting). I let mine drain completely last night now I’m waiting for it to fully charge now. Nintendo recommends fully charge (3hrs Switch 1) then let sit for another hour.
There probably won't be any special edition controllers released for at least 6-12 months, so I decided to buy on day one. Haven't used it yet but it feels lighter than Switch 1 pro.
In case some don't know, the terrible upcharge on ebay/mercari, etc is the website's fault. If someone in US buys Mario Kart bundle, that is $500 with $30+ tax. If sold on ebay for $650, ebay takes 13.6%, or $88. So 75% the profit on the transaction goes to ebay.

Re: Poll: Is It About Time Game Freak Added Voice Acting To Pokémon?
The reason it is not done now is because they release the game in 9 languages simultaneously worldwide.
Remember back in the DS era the games weren't even released same day worldwide. Japanese first, then localization took months.
Re: Around 1 In 3 Switch 2 Owners Bought New Pro Controller Despite High Price Point (US)
Considering features like back button are exclusive to $200 PS5 controller, Sw2 pro is good value. Joysticks much better than Sw1 and headphone jack.
Re: Nintendo Will Discontinue Switch Game Vouchers Entirely In 2026
Previous gens we used to have a huge number of first party games for $20 through Nintendo Selects. Now we are going in reverse.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Grants Access To A Track Unplayable Anywhere Else
This course looks like an inferior version of Piranha Plant Slide, which is playable on Mario Kart 7 and 8.

Re: Feature: 11 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
@Moonlessky Thank you for the heads up.
Re: Feature: 11 Games With 'Secret' Performance Bumps You Should Revisit On Switch 2
I tried Legends Arceus but it looked horrible on 4k TV. Especially the Alabaster Icelands, it is snowy and unclear.
Hopefully it gets a true update but no way that is happening before Legends ZA.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Game Card Cases
HORI has been making those game card cases since the DS. It is a great case and cheap.

Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Switch 2's "All-In-One" Carrying Case
The bag is too expensive and I never travel with my dock. I bought the standard case and even that is sold for $40 vs $20 for Switch 1 case.

Re: Setting The Switch 2 Pro Controller's GL And GR Buttons Looks As Easy As Pie
It's too bad this functionality is not available in handheld mode. Pressing L3 on Joy-Con bothers me more than Pro Controller.
