Had same issue with the site, you need the verification code to reset your password and set the username. Did it around 9.30. Mail took about 2 mins to arrive

CastorTroy · 21-02-2017 12:49AM

About 30 mins gone for me. And I've done resend as well. Still no go. email is correct and verified.

Destructoid have (mistakenly perhaps) broke the embarago of showing the box contents, even though we already know anyway.

My Nintendo account won't remember my password.
I have to reset it every time I log in to my account page.

service@nintendo.de replied reasonably fast.

I had the same issue, change email address was the only thing that sorted mine out, it refused to send otherwise.

@$$m@n2000?

CiDeRmAn · 21-02-2017 08:09AM

I managed to nab "ciderman" before someone else.
That was a course one, awesome name like that, it must have been mere moments before I'd have been forced to use c1d3rm@n or worse, ciderman1.

I never seem to have trouble getting my choice of username as it's an Irish surname (cofaigh). It's English format however is very popular amongst Canadian hockey fans so is always taken all the way up to replacing vowels with numbers, adding numbers to the end or screwing around with punctuation

CiDeRmAn · 21-02-2017 08:19AM

Canadian hockey fans... That's very specific...

No wait.. Paul Coffey....
Damn hosers

Damn their oily syrupy hides.

Star Lord · 21-02-2017 08:41AM

I was unable to get starlord, and had to revert to star_lord for mine. Better than the numbered alternatives it was suggesting!

deadl0ck · 21-02-2017 09:26AM

I was able to get deadl0ck for mine - happy days

wexdevil · 21-02-2017 09:55AM

I just used the same one I use for all my gaming accounts. (mangledrex)

Banjo · 21-02-2017 10:13AM

Interestingly the only site or service where I don't have my chosen username (Nunberry) is this one. Banjo is my slave name. And stop calling me Toby!

Is that pronounced like coffee, but cuffee?

I got Digi, best I can hope for with a 10 character limit. Think my NNID is DigitalSolitude so be grand

Cornholio posted this yesterday but just spotted it on Polygon this morning and noticed something - top left of the Switch screen there's a white glow - that's not light bleed is it?? Or maybe just coming from the game itself (not familiar with those Disgaea titles)?

Video clip showing it better:

Even if it is light bleed I know there's always going to be a few dodgy units in any given batch, but that would be the first thing I'd look for when powering up the unit.

I think thats the game. Without having played it of course.

fixXxer · 21-02-2017 10:25AM

Disgaea has weirdly shaped maps set out in blackness so it could be from another part of the map.

Digital Solitude · 21-02-2017 10:29AM

It's very blue for light bleed isn't it?

I'm gonna be so mad if there's light bleed or dead pixels. They seem rare enough on Ninty screens though

"Yessir, Boss. Like the drink, only not spelled the same."

The Irish is pronounced like 'Cuff-Ig'.

The 'light bleed' looks parallel to the rest of the level and is interacted with smoothly when the controller clicks in. I'd say it's part of the game but not being a big Disgaea player, I couldn't be 100%.

CastorTroy · 21-02-2017 11:26AM

I pronounced it as Ko-Fee as in Kofi Kingston.

Will try the email reset to get mine this evening. I'm sure CastorTroy will be gone

These are supposedly the raw performance numbers of the Switch:

Undocked: 375 GFLOPs
Docked: 876 GFLOPs

Compared to others:

PS4: 1,840 GFLOPs
Xbone: 1,230 GFLOPs
Wii U: 352 GFLOPs

So the Switch undocked is barely more powerful than the Wii U. Whether these numbers are 100% accurate is another story.

Banjo · 21-02-2017 12:02PM

So it's a Wii U but in your pocket.
That's pretty ****ing special on it's own. Shame it falls so short of the other 2 when docked...

And how does the undocked stack up to the likes of the 3DS, and other handheld devices?

Tbf, if you're looking at it from the mobile gaming end, the Vita is only 51.2 GFLOPs while the 3DS is 4.8 GFLOPs so it is going to be a beast in that department.
