If you are planning to get a Nintendo Switch on launch day then be prepared to download a patch which is customary these days. The patch size has yet to be announced but Nintendo of America did state that the download will include the following things:
- Nintendo eShop access
- Online multiplayer
- Sharing images to social networks
- Linking Nintendo Accounts
- Connecting to public internet hotspots
Cool.
It’s cool…. but they could have done more. It seems the system is being rushed out the doors… With the lack of games, online features, virtual console, weird joy-con desyncing issues. I’m hoping for the best but i do believe they should have waiting until fall 2017 when everything has been properly tested and ready!!!
Oi another one…. ugh
You’re like a political ad in the flesh…
3DS and Wii U didn’t launch with VC either. I read somewhere that PS4 had controller sync issues at launch too. Sometimes shit happens no matter how much prep and testing you put in. All I care about with online is multiplayer and it’ll be there at launch.
I had sync issues with my ps4 when it first released and now there’s no problem anymore. There are just people out there who will find any reason to complain about anything and everything.
I remember when people were complaining about Nintendo dropping support for the wiiu when the Switch was still called the NX, look at those same complainers now, silent as hell. The people complaining about the joy cons desync will stop complaining the moment that Switch is in their hands, just watch.
What games does switch have coming at launch that’s online again?
Fast RMX I think is online and then Mario Kart 8 Deluxe the month after when I’ll probably be done with Zelda. I’ll have to look up others.
It doesn’t seem like online is going to be worth wild if they don’t have any games to play online with. Me personally, I’m not giving them 30 just to play Splatoon online, because, truthfully, that’s the only thing I see that’s online at the moment.
Well we don’t have to pay for it until the Fall so there’s that.
Of course not, cause there’s no games that will use it but Fast and Splatoon, despite rumors that it’s coming out in fall now. Funny if that’s true, as that means it will hit at the time that payments are due from Nintendo to play it
Mario Kart is next month.
Lack of games?
Dude calm down xone and pe4 launch lineup wasn’t any better and those two including the Wii U had ports at launch. Do you really need to go online and watch tv via your game system the answer is no it’s just a luxury. Plus you want people playing games on the system not surfing the web or watching Netflix. As far as the joy cons that was probably isolated as they had systems on their tour that no one had issues with.
Lack of games? It has 10 plus launch game which is a lot.

I always wonder what was wrong with people like you. I feel like you’re the type to be caught red handed stealing and then deny you stole anything even though everyone saw you and you have the stolen item in your hand.
its all a matter of taste, i personally see only two games ones a wiiu port andthe other bomberman. the others dont interest me at all. besides its only fair to expect more considering all the time they spent not developing for the wiiu.
the notable games coming out are either slightly upgraded wiiu ports. the others seem like small hitmiss games, indies and thats it,
How does the “connect to public hotspots” work? Also secured ones (without you hvaing a password)?
Think of how the 3ds connects with nintendo zones.
But with ALL Hotspots? Or only Nintendo-ones?
well i’m sure all as the 3ds let you, and even let you enter passwords for password hotspots.
if you dont have a password THEN DERP no access THAT GOES FOR EVERY WIFI NETWORK ON THE PLANET
UNLESS ITS OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Calm down. But yes, you are correct.
Must suck for people who live in a college dorm, they can’t even use the internet connectivity.
And why is that?
Many who live in a dorm require password authentication on a special homepage due to the way the college’s WiFi is set up. Basically they won’t be able to use any online services for the Switch.
There might be a work around, or they can use there phone as a hotspot although it might not be necessary. Probably have to think about how it can work as opposed to just why it won’t
Less than a week away. Doesn’t seem like Wii U or Wii was that long ago… time flies. Looking forward to making new memories with a new Nintendo system and playing against my friends that’ll suddenly care about Nintendo again once it’s Smash Bros. season lol.
Yup they need to announce smash already. I would have liked a port at launch like the rumours were saying. Hopefully if it’s a port it will be out this year tho

Does it add “stability” too?
For what?
That was a reference to Nintendo’s frequent anti-homebrew updates on the 3DS.
Small boat loads.
I don’t even need any of these things on my Switch.
But they are pretty standard so it’s a good thing to be there nonetheless.
Well, looks like downloading FAST RMX won’t be the first thing I do with Switch when I get it set up and ready. Damn.
why not?
Hopefully it’s not a huge update and they upgraded their damn servers. Wii U’s day one patch took 4 hours for me.
Awesome
My Zelda WiiU Amazon order has been changed to, “We’ll let you know when it’s available.”
Nintendo better not be responsible for this.
Amazon just told me over the phone that Zelda for WiiU had a guarantee delivery date of April 12th. :(
What a cluster fuck.
In my opinion it’s crystal clear that Nintendo is pushing back the Wii U version of BoTW in order to make people buy the Switch version and, therefore, the Switch itself. Seems they are kind of blackmailing consumers again: “If for are willing to play BoTW soon, better be prepared to get the Switch; we have no further word on the Wii U version at this time.”
Also, it amazes me how much quiet Nintendo has been about the Wii U version.
It might not mean much but my local record/game store still says its coming on 3/3. They’re genrally pretty good about updating any delays and what not so I believe it will still be available at retail.

Maybe it’s a shipment priority issue. The WiiU version is done. it has been done. Maybe Amazon screwed up the WiiU and Switch Product SKUs??
IDK. all I know is I’m going to get the WiiU version, which I personally think will be the best way to play it.
Switch version was like that a month ago, not sure why the Wii U version has been changed but I have gotten no such notifications and in my orders it still says expected delivery March 3rd
I’m certainly happy for you. it must not be A universal decision then. just confusion and fucked up inventory.
Still dont get it…
If not i will but retail and cancel/return my amazon putchase
My Zelda is getting to me on the 3rd of march.
No mention of the joycon’s weak bluetooth issue…
They are using BT 3.0. (old version)
Always standing so close to the console in the videos…
Did they know about theses issues and just said ” eff..it”?
The Switch news of late is making me nervous lol
Not good.
WHat about XDXC support?
