No problem, hopefully we can play something together some day!
Got my refurbished Switch in the mail finally. Pretty surprising, not even a single fingerprint on it.
Took a while to get here but it was worth it since this green and pink joycon version is only from the now overpriced Splatoon 2 bundle.

My Switch is slighty bended. Anyone else got this problem? Is this something I should be worried about?
Is there any way to know what games were updated automatically when there were multiple titles updated while the Switch was on sleep mode?
I got a notification this morning that Yoku's Island Express and '1 more title' were updated, but I can't figure out which other one it was.

I get that as well. I have not found a way to tell which games have gotten updates. (It probably doesn't matter, usually.) But I suspect the barebones Switch OS doesn't support this. I have a small about of unjustified hope that ahead of the Switch Online they will release an update that makes the OS a little more feature rich. But there is no reason to believe that will happen.
Good God does Fortnite make my Switch hot when playing docked. Hottest I've ever felt it get.
It does, you just need a USB dongle to pair with rather than being supported by the internal controller:

My issue is that when you do use a headset all the audio goes through that, I'm hoping there is a perhaps an option I've missed to allow audio to come out of both.
Solutions depend on your TV, some support piping out audio to two outputs at once if headphones are present. But the best approach is probably to split the audio on the TV either through a BT audio splitter to headphones+speakers or through a receiver.
Paladins ain't bad. I've played it a long time ago on Steam, but I'm not willing to play on my PC cause I got better stuff to play. On the Switch? It's okay, its definitely playable and I love the customization.
Holy hell I'm in hell for all the load times though. Solid State drives spoils me. It's like at least a minute or two between each screen so every game takes a good 4 minutes probably to even start. (I haven't timed it)

It looks like I need to replace both my Switch's housing shell (back plate) as well as the joystick of my left Joy-con as it's been acting weird lately. The console is already out of warranty, so I'll have to do it myself. After checking a few videos it looks like I need a Y screwdriver and a phillips screwdriver, and I was wondering if I could use a cheap set of screwdrivers (I've found a few on eBay for 5€) or I'm better off spending more money on a specific set. Also, any tips/things I should take into account before replacing both parts?
Can't speak for the joycons, but for the backplate you can use any tri-point Y00 screwdriver, afterwards it just lifts off.
I have one of those 64-bit sets that covers pretty much every screw head imaginable (example from iFixit: https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Mako-Driver-Kit--64-Bit-Driver-Kit/IF145-299-4 ) but any mini-set in the $5 range works. :)
This doesn't mean that it supports bluetooth. You could literally plug a bluetooth transmitter into anything and get it to work. The transmitter supports bluetooth, the Switch does not.
Only thing you'll 100% want is a screen protector, ASAP. The Switch's screen is plastic, and thus susceptible to minor scratching, while resistant to shattering.
Will def try to get my hands on that tomm. I hope Best Buy aint super overpriced... maybe Walmart or Target?
What do we feel will pop up in the next Nintendo direct
My predictions
My predictions
- Taiko no Tatsujin localisation announced
- A new Smash Bros Ultimate trailer
- Hotline Miami 1/2 Switch Port
- Something Fortnite related
- New Super Mario Bros U Switch Port announced
- Wonderful 101 Port announced
Ordered from the official Nintendo website? Yeah basically brand new lol.
The Switch is using Solid State memory. It doesn't have a hard drive.
It's not the drive. I've played Paladins on PS4, on a standard-speed 2tb HDD, and load times are far better. Loading a character model in the menus on PS4 takes about 1-2 seconds, on Switch it feels like a good 15 seconds.
Guys i need help, i couldn't install captain toad today because my switch says i'm out of memory.
I want to install it in the internal memory since i still have like 10GB there and my memory card is already full
What could be happening? also i don't know why my memory card is full either (definitely not my 2 games in there) is there any file that i can delete without affecting the console?
Thanks

Thanks! I've finally ordered a mini-set for 5€ from eBay, hopefully that'll do the job
Wot, I've been installing fine. My Switch automatically started installing into internal once my card was full.
Ive ran into this a little bit after playing some RER2 and Fortnite, virtually impossible to aim and use the buttons since they're super close. Not a huge huge deal, just know that those games may be better suited for TV play
Does the Switch not count your playtime any more after 1 year, because in BOTW which was my launch game, it has been showing the same play time for a long time.
It does. Just a bug on Nintendo's part. In ten days they will be back.
Gonna be heading to Disneyland in about two weeks and I'm needing a new external charger anyways, so I've been considering one that's compatible with charging a Switch.
What are the best options out there (and available on Amazon)?
Thanks!

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by in ten days. This has been happening for months. I've been on 'over 60hrs of playtime' for several months or more despite playing many more hours.
Oh, I thought you were talking about the glitch where after a year it went back to saying first played 1 day ago.
Console setup told me after ten days it would show playing, so I don't think it is a bug.
But yeah they need to fix their stuff.
What I mean, is a year after breath of he wild came out, people who bought it on launch day all of a sudden saw that it said they only had the game for a day. And their hours were gone. But ten days later, their hours were back. Not sure if they fixed that. But I assume they did.
Yes but I was referring to the ten day thing. They tell you that which isn't a bug.
They do need to fix the random reset of playtime but though.

The playtime only updates when you fully close a game. So if you haven't shut it down in all those hours it won't have updated yet.
Which charger are you using? (for which phone? in the wall or from a pc?)
Right.. Ugh, guess I'm just gonna have to get that Switch charger sent to me.
I really liked being able to charge my slim Vita with any of my regular phone chargers.
