Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

Several sites reporting issues with the left JoyCon. It disconnects from the system often and powers down. Not good.

“Virtual Console games will not be available on Nintendo Switch at launch,” the company said in a press release. “We will share more information in the future.”

Also, it seems that digital purchases will be locked to the Switch they are purchased on.

If that translation is true, I get the whole 'lol, digital, buy physical' mantra some around here have... but it would apply to VC games too then in theory, which is probably one of the larger selling points of buying a Nintendo console.

No signing in to another console and playing your purchase there. Probably just speaks to the lack of sophistication of their online network.

The 'pre-reviews' popping up now aren't able to use much of the online service because 'the Switch’s online components, including account registration and retrieval, online play, wireless networking for protected hotspots and even the online store are not currently functional' - there will be a patch day one that will (hopefully) enable all of this without any additional surprises.

This is absolutely horrible. Nintendo sucks big time. You should be able to buy a VC game once and own it forever, even if you move to different systems. I mean they release special versions of consoles all the time ("Zelda" colors, etc), so how do they expect the hardcore to buy them?

Not getting one anytime soon anyways, but this really hurts them IMO.

Yeah. Thinking about cancelling my pre-order now.

Man Nintendo is so awful. Just shut down VC if you can't figure out how to make it so digital purchases carry over. It's such a joke.

Me too. The launch lineup and all of the news since the announcement has been a disappointment

Well I gave my pre-order to a friend of mine earlier, but was thinking about checking around to see if I could find one on the shelf on launch day, but I won't be doing that now.

I'm sure I'll get one eventually as I enjoy playing the Nintendo exclusives, but wow the recent news has really dampened my excitement.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

This has to be one of the worst system launches in the history of consoles. I can't remember some of the other launches, but it's hard to imagine a worse launch.

Launching with Zelda, but literally nothing else is ready including their online systems and a proper digital DRM implementation. It's like they don't even have a clue.

Oh, they can. They just want you to buy Super Mario Brothers 3 for the 18th time.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

launch day games are beyond terrible........

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

I don't understand launching a console with no games. Even worse the one game it has is on your last console. Giving all Wii U owners no reason at all to buy a switch.

Re: Nintendo Switch Announced, Scheduled to Release March 2017

My friend has a review system. He also is having the left joycon issue. This is not good. At least 5 sites reporting it.

Serves them right not paying for it LOL


If true can something like this be solved with a system update?


Or is it considered hardware failure?
