DarkStar189 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 My 6 year old went to put the Switch down on the tv stand which is a glass shelf. In typical little kid fashion the Switch magically just flipped out of his hands when it was about a foot high off the table top when it crash landed face down. Everything seems fine with it though. I guess the joysticks took most of the impact and cushioned the fall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Well I don't play online on my Switch. I think the price is reasonable since the online structure is a joke. Here is what will get me to jump in. Nintendo doesn't know online but they know hardware. The NES joycons that you can only get if you have a Nintendo Online account is what is going to get me.

The NES controller holds a special place in my heart. But I'm not even going to bother going after these. For the price, their use seems too limited for my taste.

Brian Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Quote You can log in with your Nintendo Account on multiple consoles.Just like PS4, there can be one primary system and multiple secondary. While using the primary console, any user account on the console can play the downloadable content you have purchased. While using the primary console, you do not need to have an active Internet connection You can change which Nintendo Switch console is your primary console but you must first deactivate the current primary console. While using a non-primary console, you must have an active Internet connection to play downloadable content. If you lose your Internet connection while playing downloadable content on a non-primary console, your game will pause after a certain amount of time; however, once you connect online again, you will be able to resume from the point you left off. While using a non-primary console, downloadable content can only be started by the user that purchased the content. When using downloadable software on a non-primary console, your game will pause if your Nintendo Account is used to access downloadable software on any other Nintendo Switch console. Also Nintendo now allows deactivating your primary console through a website! No longer need to call them Off-device deactivations can be done by visiting accounts.nintendo.com, selecting "Shop Menu", and then "Deactivate Primary Console". Only once per year you can do Off-device deactivations https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22448 This is great news for family. You no longer need to buy two versions of digital games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Ok, I pulled the trigger. I tested out the online NES games and voicechat. It had some issues but was fun to play Balloon Fight online. I think if I had some time River City Ranson would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
