    This is probably not the correct forum. But seems to be closest. My left joy-con seems to be one of the glitchy ones. Almost unusable unless it's on handheld mode. Has anyone else had to return one? What is the process?

    I emailed Nintendo 8 days ago about mine and still haven't heard a response. Apparently ringing them is the best bet, but last time I spent a tenner on their customer support, and there's no reason they shouldn't be responding to my email. I'll keep you updated!

    Twitter is usually a good route for support generally as the tweet can't be deleted and it's public.
    I've never used it for Nintendo issues, but have used it with other companies that were not responding in a timely manner to emails I sent...
    Might be worth a try : https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope

    It will charge while docked, green light only comes on when outputting signal to tv. It might flash when you first dock, not sure. When undocked just hit the power button to put the console to sleep. If it's in sleep mode when you dock it it will display a little charging icon for a second or so on the screen, maybe even less it's easy to miss.

    I tend to leave it undocked when not using, I'm paranoid about leaving it on charge when at 100% even though I'm sure they have some sort of way to ensure battery life isn't murdered by being at full charge etc. I'm the same with phones etc, never leave em plugged in overnight. I'm weird like that ha ha

    I was holding down the power button to power off completely every time I was finished playing but it caused weird battery readings for me. Console suddenly dropping to low charge then restarting at 70% things like that. Been just using sleep mode every since day 3 and zero issues, only time I've powered down was to fix a WiFi connection issue after the first time setting up wired to the dock. Since then all's been good.

    When docked it connects wired now super fast with no fuss then if undocked connects to WiFi pretty much instantly. Before power cycling I had to go to settings to set up wired every time. Just incase anyone else is having the same issue. Works great now.

    Wonderful machine. Taking a trip this weekend so will finally get to play Zelda on the train :D

    My Switch has this, along with its dodgy WiFi issues and disconnecting left Joycon...

    Sigh

    I use my Pebble Time every day, it's a great watch, brilliant battery life.
    I had a OG Pebble before that, another good solid performer.

    I was considering a Pebble Round but it's battery life is less and not all apps/watchfaces are compatible. Might still pick one up if they come down to the €50 mark.

    I must pick up an Android Wear watch, I know the first run of watches, the LG G Watch and the Moto 360, are pretty cheap now but they look clunky and chunky now, I'll wait for the later generations to get a little cheaper.

    Oh pebble user here too. It was a sad day when Fitbit bought them :(

    Probably as sad as I'll be when Microsoft eventually buys Nintendo.

    a good half-way house is AskMii on the Repair site (Go through the Nintendo site as if you're booking a repair, it'll redirect to the dedicated repair site https://nintendoservicecentre.co.uk and you'll see the option) - you can chat to someone without picking up the phone, and without making a Twitter fuss you're not that way inclined.

    Oh?
    I was expecting MS to get out of the console market and sell it's Xbox division to Nintendo!

    Super Smash Bros Switch, now including Master Chief and Cortana as playable characters!
    See Miis and Avatars beat the shinola out of each other to see which is the best!

    ì think you'll find that mircosoft are gonna sell to sega and then sega launches the dreamcast 2

    Then sony has a rethink and gets back into bed with Nintendo and launches the switchstation.

    shortly after i think world peace happens except for console wars 2.0
    :pac:

    That youtuber looks like the kind of guy who has strong opinions about an all-female Ghostbusters.

    Same here - I was a backer of the OG Pebble. Hopefully the hacker community will continue to support them when Fitbit shoot them in the head...
    Wonder if there are any switch related watchfaces :)

    Why would anyone have strong opinions on Ghostbusters 2016?
    It wasn't good enough to have strong opinions on!
    It'd be like having strong opinions on the latest Kevin James movie!

    Debating buying the Switch in the next day or 2.

    As a clarification, what sort of customer service/warranties come with this? I know there are issues like dead pixels (which Nintendo claimed wasn't an issue and is to be expected) & left joycon connectivity problems (which, again, Nintendo is claiming isn't an issue), but what could be covered?

    Also what's the best way to protect it & ensure no issues happen? Thing like a screen protector, I'm assuming, is absolutely necessary.

    He looks like Dominic West if something went drastically wrong.

    Putting aside him coming across as taking part in a failed news presenter audition it does have a lot of interesting facts.

    It was only a bit of banter, sligeach - not meant to offend you. :)
