Got a charging grip and it's the exact same thing as what you get with the switch, except this one charges. It has the plug at the top.
It's not needed, but does come with a USB-C cable, so there's that.

I wanted a case that wasn't so "loud" for my travels too. Ended up getting this one:

It has good reviews on Amazon but is currently out of stock there - which is why I got it from Target. I ordered one for store pick up and will grab it on Saturday. Hopefully it doesn't have the funky smell the Amazon reviews mention.

I tested the joy-con issues, I have zero problems, I tested it behind my back, outside my door, behind a box, behind my phone that was behind a box.
The joy-con desync does not happen to me

I just played it for about 6 hours or so. I only had a few hiccups and other than that had a good time with a friend online with others.

I've experienced none of those problems today. Neither did my friend. Just got back from a all afternoon switch gaming session with him and the hardware ran fine. One minor lag issue online but nothing I haven't experienced before in any game.

No issues for me yet, but I've been mostly playing wired on a charging grip. Wi-fi is flawless, but I've got a nice 5G router about 6 feet away from the switch.

I prefer to imagine everywhere you tested was paired with another rhyming test location like an updated Green Eggs and Ham.

That's the case I'll be getting as well. It comes with two Cartridge cases and 2 microSD cases. The MicroSD case holds 2 and goes into one of the cartridge slots. And the bottom of the main case has form fitted places for cart cases. Pretty well made and I like the simplistic look.
Seen Amazon has Glass screen protectors for $10.99 for a two pack. Seems to be getting decent reviews. Anyone get these?
Just finished setting the system up and Updated. I'm happy I got one. Someone said Zelda has a patch? How do I download it? Or is it automatic?
Click the "+" on your controller while hovering on the game tile, and then click on "update". Then click "via internet" it will check for an update and then you can download, install and be good to go.
For those that bought the physical release don't forget to go into My Nintendo Rewards Program once you hover over the game and press the + to get some gold coins. I haven't seen this posted on here yet so thought I would share.

Be careful with the dock if you don't have a screen protector.
Soon as a better third party dock is release I am buying it.

This thing is gorgeous. I am a Vita gamer so I am by default using it mostly in handheld mode, Zelda is jaw-dropping.
To those that keep insisting "I will never let it leave the dock", I really hope with Nintendo's bold design choices you will begin to realize the wonders of handheld gaming.

The wonders are hitting me real hard. Got tired during a long couch session and wanted to lie down so I took the switch to bed with my pro controller, now I'm under the covers continuing my Zelda playthrough.
This thing is so damn great.
I'm honestly surprised at how well the Joy-cons are functioning as a main controller with the pack-in grip. For playing just Zelda, the Pro controller is largely unnecessary.
I can't stop thinking about playing a new Fire Emblem on both the TV and in handheld. Fortune Street too omg.

I have no problems with the default controllers as well. My gaming sessions are never past an hour due to having kids, so I think I don't need the PRO. Also did some Bomberman sessions with my wife with the halves, with the wrist strap attached, they feel adequate. We even tried taking the screen to the dining table as a "proof of concept", we huddled together (romance) but it was definitely playable.
Should get another set of Joy-Cons for playing ARMS with my wife though.
All around this is a marvelous feat of engineering and craftsmanship especially given its low price point. I am a very happy buyer, now, I have a Vita and a Switch to "switch" around. As a handheld gamer I couldn't be happier about Nintendo's faith in the handheld market, and its bold design choice to try and sway non-handheld players.

I'm loving it as well, very fun, finally pulled me away from Horizon Zero Dawn. I just hope I still feel the same after I've finished Zelda. I have never played Mario Kart 8 so that's a day one for me, but it's a ways off.
Everyone should check out SnipperClip too, my GF loves it and she doesn't like gaming very much. A must play with a +1.
my amazon switch got delivered by Amazon truck at 1pm today too. Didn't ship until this morning.

Thanks! Was really juggling the idea of taking it back but the fact that I landed a extra set of red joycons to go with it also I think I might just keep it.
The joycons are very comfortable, wasn't really expecting it, I combed like 3 stores in my area for a pro controller, came home with both of those instead, it wasn't until I tried the joycons that I was convinced I don't need the pro right now.

I was considering that game, weird because I never heard about it until I saw it in the GameStop ad. I got $20 in eShop credit today not sure if I want that or fast rmx
grabbed this exact case at walmart... $18 and change.... I don't want to ruin the case that came with the Zelda Master Edition!
Hi guys & gals- here's my "amFilm 2-Pack Glass Protector" review:
Pros:
1. Cheap. I purchased it for $9.99 (includes 2x protectors) & it's up @ $10.99 now. I'm fairly certain it was $8.99 at one point. I was ready to purchase a Cyber Glass item @ Playasia if these weren't decent.
2. Good quality.
3. Clear instructions & 2x pairs of prep wipes are packed in as well.
Cons:
1. 1x protector had a "toothpick" diameter impact mark on the glass.
2. While the instructions are very clear, I feel that holding the final plastic tabs on both ends (before actual contact between the screen & the glass), is a bad idea. Here's why:
The tabs weren't strong enough to hold up the glass & then suddenly plop, it dropped mal-aligned. The result was lifting the glass back up & that's a PITA. On my last image, you'll see a swarm of dust resting where I lifted.
I would suggest holding the perimeter of the glass, & after LINING up the indicators, place it down quickly. Pull the tabs thereafter.
I'm going to contact the company for a replacement & I'm positive they'll ship me a new glass.
Lastly, for some reason some of images didn't upload with the correct Rotation.

Btw guys, ZELDA IS SO DAMN GOOD. I love this system. Day one and tons of people I've shown it to are already super impressed by it, myself included. I haven't been this excited for any console since the N64.

So my Impressions on the Switch are mostly good.
The NEON one came in the afternoon & quickly did the update with the Joycons attached, let it reboot then i manually turned it off and turned it back on. No Joycon issues whatsoever. I have to literally go into another room where I can't even see the TV to lose signal, so yeah..
The Joycons feel like they belong on a VITA, I hardly see any difference there & not an issue at all for me.
I did use the Pro controller on Zelda and i felt my left hand getting a bit numb, dunno if i was holding it wrong or something but that was weird since it is a mighty big ass controller compared to the joycons.
The Joycon grip felt fine as well but a bit cramped, I need more time with it to see if I like it or not.
I called my sisters over & with my chick we were playing 4man Bomberman & Snipperclips, they had a hoot!
Turns out my oldest sister is much better at Bomberman than I'll ever be, she's vicious.
As far as games goes Snipperclips is what you expect, alot of fun when playing with others.
Bomberman Offline Multiplayer is the same, however online is a bit laggy. Haven't touched the SP yet.
Zelda, well... I can't say it looks all that great on my 4K TV, I have noticed some frame drops but very minor.
On the handheld mode however it looks stunning. I'm very glad I see this console as a VITA replacement & not as a traditional console because I'd probably be disappointed.

hey, amazon actually shipped the damn switch. only three whole says later than they should've. usps tracking but they're still insisting it'll be delivered on sunday so i have no idea what's up there.
looks like disgaea 5 and i am setsuna from amazon jp will be here by wednesday, which is pretty good for a weekend order going halfway around the world.
edit: apparently if you're a prime member who already ordered with 2-day shipping, and the cs rep insists on 'upgrading' you to 2-day shipping free of charge, usps parcel select is an acceptable alternative to ups 2-day or priority mail. we'll see how well that works out.

Any one got pics of the master edition sword? Pretty curious to see if they looked as warped as they did on the treehouse video.
See, and I disagree with this 100%. So people are gonna have a variety of opinions. Even in portable mode I find a way to use the pro controller. I don't really like the joy cons AT ALL. Buttons are scary small, and the right thumb stick is in a terrible spot in comparison to the buttons. (Same problem with vita). Again, I have large large hands.

So I am having an issue with the KS8000 and the Switch interacting with each other. Whenever the switch gets docked and/or reaches full charge, the TV will change to the Switch's HDMI port. The TV also doesn't recognize it as a gaming console, as well as not allowing me to set it up like one in the manual settings. So I constantly get an annoying pop up to set up the HDMI port. Apparently Samsung doesn't have a way to turn off this auto-switch feature from the TV, according to their own forums.
Anyone find a way around this that also has a 2016 Samsung TV?

So I am currently charging mine now but I messed around for a few last night. I must say, I actually really like the feel of the joycons. I played some with them apart and attached to the system, both times felt good. I haven't tried the grip yet so we will see how that goes.
As for Bomberman, I am enjoying it but its not an all-star game by any means. It looks good on the small screen and mostly plays fluid but I have ran into a few minor stutters. It also doesn't help that its been for ever since I last played one and it just tosses you in without indication of the controls. (took me a little bit to get them down lol)

Are you using an HDMI switcher by chance? The ones where you can plug several devices in to it, and then save ports on your TV?

BTW, I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but "skins" for the NS are a no go. They can damage the NS case as well as pull the design logo's off as well. If anyone has already applied them, you may want to leave it on, are get some "un-du" and hope for the best.

I was going to recommend plugging direct in to the TV, but that is apparently not the issue.
I use a HDMI switcher, and my son's Wii U would always take over the HDMI signal, as the switcher would always go to the most recent signal, and give it priority. So when the Wii U was in standby mode, it always does some off the wall shit, and it would interrupt me playing other systems attached to the same switcher.
The fix was to go in to the Wii U settings, and turn off the "quick start" mode, so then when the system was shut off, it stayed off, and would never interrupt. My son didn't like that as the system would take to long to boot up each time, so I gave the Wii U it's own port on the TV, and then I had to manually go to that HDMI port for the Wii U image to be used. There should be some kind of option within the NS to keep this issue from happening, but it might be another thing "N" didn't test, or anticipate, but that should be fixable by them at some point with a patch, they just need to know the specifics to add the proper option within the NS.
Like I've said before, that is not their way. They'll build something for themselves(or Japanese users in general), and then address other issues as they pop up. Or they just want to make sure they can sale you the pro controller. Either way, they win.I have the same issue with the joy cons. They are tiny for my man hands.

That seems really strange you can't turn off either the auto-switch function or set-up, as my 2014 Samsung has similar functionality that I can turn off.
I don't know if this will help you or not, but there's an option in the Switch settings called "Match TV Power State" that you can turn off, it could be confusing this with your TV's auto-recognize settings some how?
