One seal on my Argos Switch 2 pre-order was intact but the bottom seal was only half on.

Didn't pre-order this but decided to get the mario kart bundle from Amazon on a spur of the moment yesterday.
Years ago I had every console at launch, now I've just got a powerful PC and this. I did keep a few of my old switch games though, so backwards compatible will be good.

Amazon order has reached the final delivery station. Looking promising.

Essentially HDR is bad in portable mode (a limitation of the screen) and pretty good in docked mode.

Same. I made the right image disappear but the right one was barely visible as well. Seems ok so far but if there is a better setting I’ll try that.
I didn't do anything scientific or actually time mine... but I'd been playing it in tabletop mode with my 5 year old son before he went to bed.
I sat on the couch a few mins after 8pm, the Switch 2 battery at 56%, and played MKW in handheld mode until almost 10pm.
On the second battery low warning (5%), I completed the race I was on, then took it upstairs to bed to plug it in. It was at 3% at that point.
I'm sure I got over 100mins out of that 53%.
I felt the first half of the battery seemed to go down quicker than the second half
I'll be back on it again after the kids go to bed tonight, so will try again and time it.
My OG Switch is lucky to last 2 hours - the battery in my daughters OLED must last double mine!

Looks like you can use 2 consoles “equally” without any of the 14 days lending malakay. Lets hope they don’t change the T&C soon, because the alternative is for my sister to have her own account/nintendo online sub.
Hey guys the Switch 2 is arriving from Amazon today, quick question on system transfer.
Do all the games that I have on my Switch oled get transferred over to the Switch 2 automatically.
Reason for asking is that I have got a 512gb card in the oled switch and won't have enough space in the Switch 2 to copy them over even with a new 256gb microsd express card.
Not worried about downloading them again as all my saves are backed up in the cloud apart from Animal Crossing.
Cheers All

I needed to download them all again.
Not in my case. It only transfered system settings and saves as far as I could tell.
Both my Argos MKW bundle and EE MKW bundle arrived with the seals broken.
One of them was in form fitting brown box, the other was just in a grey plastic bag. I didn't actually check which was the Argos one, and which was the EE one. The one in the grey bag had some pretty bashed corners on the MKW box. I hid the one with the better box immediately, as it's for my sons birthday in August. Turns out I didn't need to pre-order one in April to make sure I got one... but the way console releases go, you can never be too sure! I'll maybe take advantage of the damaged seals to get a screen protector on it, and have it tested, charged and setup etc before he gets it.
I read on Reddit yesterday that Nintendo had released a statement to the stores, and people collecting them in-store were being advised that there was a quality issue with the seals - causing most of them to break in transit.

If you do a full transfer at initial set up, it copies everything, old demos, all saved games. It is advisable to do it this way because some games like Pokemon don’t have local saves. If you don’t have games like that then you can skip the transfer and just log in with your account then download the games you want but you will run into my problem earlier about running 2 of the same game on 2 consoles.
You will also need to download them all again, personally not a problem for me as I don’t have many games.

No, the migration process is quite fast because I believe it just moves over accounts and save data and then all your games will be on the home screen and get downloaded in the background. Shame they didn't enable a cable based transfer method for speed.
It's pretty annoying that Nintendo/developers cannot seem to get HDR right when consoles are used under certain conditions (docked in the case of the Switch).
It only transfers saves and settings. Games and apps will need redownloading. For me since I had <256GB install on my NS1 it just redownloaded everything I had installed there onto my NS2. It will probably ask you what you don't want download or you'll have to go round to each game/app and manually cancel after you reach the final step in the transfer process.
I pick up this one and will be installing it today when the switch 2 arrives.

I linked it a few page back, did it first time. I did do the hot shower trick first though to eliminate most of the particles in the air first.
