It might scratch easily, but Im glad they put a plastic screen on it. Makes it much more durable.

Quick question guys/gals

I bought a Nintendo Switch a few weeks back, and it's been sitting in my closet as a Xmas present for my daughter. I heard there are some time consuming setup stuff.... so I finally got around to opening it to do the initial setup stuff, and I'm stuck at the part where it's telling me to put the joycons on the switch.

The issue is that I connected them, but only the left one powers on, the right one does not seem to power on.
Is this a dead joycon? or does it just need to charge for a while?

Should I run to the store and get a different one?

maybe connect them and wait? Maybe the right one is simply not charged?

I agree, let the right one charge plugged in.

I ended up resolving the issue last night, and then played DOOM for a few hours to setup and test the machine :)

The right joycon was desynced, and hit that sync button and then reset the system.

Merry Xmas everyone.

Daughter: Can I play?
BlackNMild: Hold on, at the next save.
*three hours later*
BlackNMild: I’m still testing the machine.

Exactly.

Edit:
I really want a second base for it, but there's no way I pay anything close to $100 for a hdmi pass-through passive cooling station.

I've seen enough horror stories about third party docks that I wouldn't trust anything but the official Nintendo version, pricy as it may be.

I have to say that I'm quite disappointed in Nintendo for not including a usb charger cable with their portable system.

They could have atleast made the base charging cable detachable like a cell phone, so you can travel with your 1 provided charger cable.
...or provide a micro USB adapter, if the all in 1 solution was too much trouble.

The Switch uses a standard USB-C cable, so depending on what other devices you own you might already have one you can use.

oh... is that USB C... never seen one before.

That's the same cable Galaxy 8 and most other new (non-Apple) phones are using now right?
They still could've included a detachable base/cable combo, since the device is portable.

But that's cool that it is something standard and future forward.

So.... we playing LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2, and there is a glitch that has happened 3 times now that won't let us progress. The Man Ape fight.

anyone else have this game?
BP jumps on Man-Ape's back and starts pummeling him, and it just continues indefinitely.

anyone else encounter this glitch?
FYI, i was always playing 2 player at the time. I have not tried to repeat this glitch in single player.
I did try to drop the the 2nd player once the glitch started, but that didn't fix anything.

Never played the second one, but there's often some obscure object you need to do.sokething with in the Lego games.

I watched the video of the fight... I saw nothing extra to do.
We've made it to the end of the fight where it happened, and this time it happened the moment BP first jumped on Man Ape in the beginning of the fight.

I tried that. kept mashing the button they wanted me to push but nothing would happen.

I went back in single payer from the start and got past it.... I guess you gotta rapid fire the button till it decides to move on... or the button on the controller just isn't working as well as it seems...?

SO... This rumored January Nintendo Direct on the 11th. What's it going to have? Amazon lists 18 un-named Switch SKUs

My Guess: An EA port, a couple Capcom ports, More details on Yoshi and Kirby, another round of Nindies and maybe finally From Software's Switch game.

I think we'll see at least one first party enhanced Wii U game, and maybe Pikmin 4, which supposedly has existed in some form for a while now but probably isn't big enough to be a major E3 focus.

In addition to those, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some extras like home menu themes for Switch. I feel like that is going to happen sooner or later. We may also get more details on their online sub service.
