Outside of Parental Controls, not really unless Nintendo brings back the activity log like on the Wii U and Wii.

That's a shame, the Wii U activity log was a nice feature that everything should have had. Although maybe it gives the impression of something childish/survelliency

So far, it has had the best console launch ever in France, best Nintendo console launch ever in the US and Europe (for the first 2 days) and slightly behind the Wii in Japan (which is weird, since they were both supply constrained yet they managed to get more Wiis on shelves there while everywhere else is the opposite).
Switch did in 3 days in France what the PS4 did in 2 weeks. It's a good start, should put any fears about it being a Wii U away (launching with a great game helps. Who knew?). Obviously long term is a different matter, but MK8D should move the needle next month when Switch should be on store shelves in all regions (restock is only 2 weeks away allegedly) and Splatoon 2 will be huge in Japan for the summer. Then we just need a Direct or E3 announcements to fill in the gaps. Hopefully ARMS is good and fits in between MK8 and Mario somewhere. |

Anyone have a Pro Controller? Mine arrived today and am not sure if it is charging.
The doc doesn't seem to have any light or indicator. Will it charge by just having the dock plugged in and connecting it up? |

Yeah, there's a little orange light on the top of the controller. Mine was fully charged on arrival though so I had to play to see it charging.
If not, you might have to wake the Switch and then plug it in and put it on sleep so it knows to keep that USB port alive. |

Was recently discovered once you have more than 12 games installed, the menu display for games gets a new option available. Ends up resembling the Xbox One when you want all games shown.

What non-Zelda games do y'all recommend? I hate myself for this but I think I'm gonna grab 1-2 Switch for the co-op possibilities. Is Fast RMX good? Blaster Master Zero will be sweet...

Snipperclips is pretty good as a puzzle game.
If you like F-Zero or those types of racers, you'd probably like Fast RMX since the Fast series is pretty similar to it. Pretty much considered as F-Zero's spiritual successor. Shovel Knight is also another good game if you like retro-looking games or haven't played it on other platforms. Switch version has all the DLC and something exclusive planned for it. |

Most systems have a 1% failure rate. With the number of videos up, it's still well within that.
EDIT: Oh, it's the Crowbcat video. He's for entertainment purposes only, never take him seriously or every console ever launched is fucked up. he's just a tool that gets easy views by taking other videos. https://youtu.be/6__TvBzAVj8 PS4 Pro https://youtu.be/6FwlK-jU8Yg PS4 https://youtu.be/Bu7jHLsW-5s XB1 |

So you can't play Blaster Master Zero, or Snipperclips, with the Pro controller. Is there anything else this applies to? It should have be part of the certification process.

It has motion controls. Those games don't use motion controls.

For those suffering from framerate issues in non-Zelda Switch games, a quick fix involves turning off "auto connect" for Wi-Fi.
Quote:
According to analyst firm SuperData, Switch is rumored to have sold around 1.5 million consoles since its launch with almost an even split among the 3 major regions for the console. Would put it higher than the 3DS and Wii U in regards to recent system launches for the company. In terms of attach-rates, Zelda: Breath of the Wild is estimated to be owned by 89% of all Switch owners. https://www.destructoid.com/new-data...e-424894.phtml |

Zelda sold out a couple of times around here, so if someone wanted a physical copt, they may have had to wait.
My friend just got Bomberman with hers for the kids though... |

I'd post the Japanese one too as it has Japanese text, which is a nice touch.

Yeahhhh, I held off for that.
Have surprisingly liked the split d-pad on the Joycon for Shovel Knight, but I think this needs more control. KOF '98 certainly does. |

According to the Wall Street Journal, Nintendo is ramping up production of the Switch from its original 8 million target to now around 16 million consoles for the year starting next month.
Also revealed they didn't want another Wii U situation from occurring in regards to over-production which was why their early sales expectations were on the low end. Quote:

WB are pulling a fast one with Lego City Undercover. The eShop download is apparently 7.1GB which is weird as the Wii U game is 20GB. Looks like it downloads extra data though.
The physical cart version says it needs 13.1GB download space and that internet connection is required. To cheap out on cart storage, they're making people download the rest of the game. |

I went ahead and grabbed Snipperclips and 1-2 Switch in anticipation of being seated next to a smokeshow on my flight tomorrow and joining the Air Sex Society as a result of us hitting it off playing with my Switch. Wish me luck.

I will be doing the same in a week on a train, except that I'll be sat next to my girlfriend which will probably end in hotel sex rather than train bathroom sex.

Chrono Trigger's director, Takashi Tokita, recently teased he's currently working on a new game for the Switch.
