I'd say the stand is by far the poorest part of the design.

It's just cheap and flimsy.

True but the kick stand is of no real good to anyone and the left joycon issue is bigger than most are giving credit to. Add those to screen scratching and dirt behind the screens and its really just shady QC. Dont want to come across as a hater as I own one and I love it but theres more problems than just the teething stuff that launch consoles genuinely have.

I have a bit of wiggle in my left Joycon now when clicked into the switch but strangely not when in the gamepad, not bothering me at the moment though, will still lodge an email with Argos / Nintendo incase they fancy giving me a free set of Joycons.

Zelda is awesome though, I've been playing everyday and haven't actually bothered following therein quests yet, just heading for towers, completing shrines on route and talking to anyone I find on the way. As with Windwaker I think the art style is excellent and finding it visually more impressive than most of the PS4 games I've played due to the world animation, varying speeds of wind blowing the grass and tree's as opposed to Witcher 3's (one of my fav games) constant hurricane.

Also really enjoying Fast RMX which looks excellent docked on the big screen, really hope we get a new F-Zero.

Can you add friends via Nintendo ID's or has to be the friends code? My ID is obvious JDR82, will need to start a Switch ID thread.

Very vague if you spell it wrong.

Haha yes - you have to survive those people frequenting the Asda to enjoy it though

Whenever I am feeling down and wondering if I've made the right life choices I take a quick 5 minute stroll up North Street and quickly remember I'm not doing too bad at this life thing

I meant @ 1080p or whatever Zelda runs at.

Just wondering as Zelda seems pretty solid to my eyes but someone once told me it only runs at 30fps

Sorry I thought this was the switch thread not the apologise for having dyslexia thread. Must do better in the future.

I know bud, just joking around. Ive only played Zelda on the go really but to me it feels pretty smooth so Im happy with it. I do know that I am setsuna only runa at 30fps though so I would imagine Zelda will be the same being a much more demanding game.

Zelda is 30fps at 720P handheld and 30fps at 900P docked.

I agree though, feels smooth enough to not be an issue.

Mario kart is 60fps at 1080P which is very impressive.

Am I right to think it was also 1080p @ 60fps on Wii U too?

Is the dust noticeable under the screen ? Paranoid about mine now haha although it does come with a years guarantee

Anyone who hasn't got 1-2 switch and has a few friends needs to get it! Few beers, friends and this game is worth the money!

And that's me who thought this game was going to be ridiculous and overpriced!

I was teetering on ordering this but after reading the above Begbie you've sold it to me! £31.75 off Amazon thank you very much

I cant believe the amount of people who are willing to let the general poor quality control from Nintendo go. I own one and I love it but Ive had to a stick a bit of selotape under the kickstand to keep it shut FFS. The stand is the most rinky dink piece of tat and its really quite mind boggling how cheap and flimsy it really is. I guess it speaks volumes of highly regarded their games are but Im actually shocked with it really and Im considering throwing everything in the box and just using it in handheld mode with the charge cable to keep it juiced up.

I agree the stand is not of the highest quality, but not had a single issue with mine. Just wish the placement was better is all.

I tried to grab it for £20, but someone else valued the game more so they won. lol

Minstadave · 11 Mar 2017 at 20:43

Anyone got a working powerbank cable combo?

I've got an EC Tech 22400mAh pack which should do the job, but I gather the switch can be fussy.

Dreadful day at work, so nice to come home to an email from Amazon saying Neon Switch and Zelda to be shipped on March 13th instead of April 1st ... woohoo!!
