I find the joy cons in the grip are really comfortable but the joy cons attached to the switch are basically unusable. I wish there was some sort of attachment which added the handle grips from the joy con grip to the switch in hand held mode.
I'd be more inclined to buy something like that. but I wish Nintendo would bring out a new dedicated home console as they currently have nothing but handhelds.
is there any reason why the save data isn't stored on the gamecard like on the 3DS? this is terrible news for families where several people might share a switch but are used to having their own versions of games.
@MarcelRguez there is day one updates and DLC to take into consideration so I'm guessing an extra SD memory card will be an inevitability for most people.
@SirPrimalform that's an absolute shame if that is true. the gamepad makes inventory management so much easier and intuitive. hopefully they'll patch it in at some point.
@NoxAeturnus I've decided not to get a switch at launch till and will wait until there are some more games released for it that I want. plus the wii u should have off screen play and easier inventory management (if previous zelda games are anything to go by) and I can install the supplementary data on my external hard drive. I'm just waiting for confirmation of all that before deciding whether to buy wii u version now or wait for the switch version.
I'm really in two minds about getting one at launch. the price of the games and accessories are really steep and coupled with limited memory and paid for online I think I'm gonna wait and see. I'm kinda disappointed it doesn't have a stylus and It seems to be more focused on mobile compared to docked with no mention of surround sound output over hdmi which is a level of immersion I expect from a home console.
I hope I can plug a hard drive into the dock for when playing the switch on the TV. And hopefully downloaded games can be moved/synced from the hard drive to a memory card for playing on the go.
there are micro sd cards available which can hold 128gb and even new ones out which can hold 256gb so I guess larger games will use whatever size of card they need. I just hope if I'm using cards that any updates/save games are also stored on the card and any eShop games are stored in internal memory or SD cards (but not proprietary cards as that'll be a disaster like on the vita)
@VanillaLake I would much rather take a long walk through the country side or forest trail or anything other than through some urban area. I tried to email the creators of the game but they aren't taking submissions for new gym areas
I'm went from collecting every single amiibo to only picking up amiibo for games I play or characters I like. for me it was the Animal Crossing amiibos which broke any desire to have every single one.
I hope it's optimised for the wii U with the menu all on the game pad when playing on the TV. I wonder if it'll be possible to import the world from my phone?
The entitlement on display is mind boggling. I for one am glad this has been implemented on MiiVerse and wish other consoles would implement something similar.
how do you unlock more models and tunes in the gallery? so far I've unlocked 6/6 and 8/8 and there doesn't seem to be anything else appearing in there and I'm just at the Bionis Leg.

Re: Random: Digital Version Of 1-2-Switch Listed For Just £1.99 On Amazon
how long do codes remain viable? I'm not getting a switch at launch but managed to preorder this at the £1.99 price
Re: Nintendo Switch Lacks A Web Browser Because It's A "Dedicated Video Game Platform"
I am so glad I canceled my preorder as every single new bit of information about the switch makes it sound very anti-consumer to my ears.
