*** The Official Nintendo Switch 2 ***

[XPE]

Couple of hours with it now, the HDR setting doesn't seem to like my LG TV and it keeps asking me to adjust it.

My launch games are Mario Kart World and No Mans Sky Switch 2 Edition. You will be shocked to know that Mario Kart is just like Mario Kart (waiting for NMS to DL)

Tried Zelda Links Awakening, it runs fine don't notice any difference from the Switch 1 patch, it might be a little less blurry. Also tried Xenoblade 1, works like it did on the switch 1, no upgrade patch for it so far.

Screengrab from above video. Because the joycons are not mounted on a rail you can mount them on opposite sides or even backwards...

Speed runners just get a few extra difficulty levels.

Reports of damaged screens for some users, something about screens getting stapled by some store

Gamestop FTW

For anyone who will be frequently switching between docked and handheld, I'd reccomend a screen protector - because the inside of the dock doesn't have foam or any soft padding, just hard plastic that can scratch your screens as you insert/remove it from the dock

This was the main reason I did it. I remember Switch 1 having this issue

I don’t even put a screen protector on my phone. It is what it is.

Mine that I picked up had the seal on just fine, however I did find it was incredibly easy to remove the seal with one finger, no force and no knife or scissors required, it's a very weak sticker that can easily come off

I don’t think I’ll get a screen protector but I’ll grab a case soon.

I picked up the official case, found out it comes with a screen protector.

The tape on my Argos unit looks cut as well tbh

Fast Fusion any good?

Looks like I'm in the minority. My box seals are actually intact, although clearly starting to go. Very obviously just crappy seals. Guy at Argos warned me about the seals being crap when I picked it up earlier so they've clearly seen it a lot today.

Perfect fit in my skull and co Max carry case that I previously used for a steam deck

BOTW has started. Nice improvement in graphics

 

[xaldub]

One thing I will say as I wait for my data to transfer across from my OG Switch is the new Pro controller feels lovely to use.

Yeah my delivery from argos was also full seals. I saw the comments on here and elsewhere and so decided to see how weak they were and using just a thumbnail with not much force I was able to cut it. Cellotape rolls from poundland is stronger than this stuff!
