Played the Puyo Puyo Tetris demo, and the d-pad buttons are surprisingly not complete trash. Not as good as a real d-pad, but not bad enough to send me running towards the PS4 version.

Also I noticed my perfect Switch isn't so perfect. Got some screen lift on the bottom right corner, reminds me of my old Nexus 7, though nowhere near as bad as that device had it-- this is just like baaaarely poking out.

I can press the screen back down but it eases back out pretty quickly. Guessing it didn't get glued properly during construction and the heat of the console has loosened what glue is there. Or maybe it's been like this since I got it and I just didn't notice it :shrug:

Call Nintendo and they will replace your screen. It will only get worse like mine did.

I've seen them in stock lately. Most of the hardcore Switch user base has got one by now and the average user is happy with the joycons, so the supply seems to have caught up with demand. But with Mario Kart on the way, sales may pick back up so it's a good time to buy if you want one.

I just got my first edition + stickers BoI from walmart, it was hidden away among the 3ds detritus.

Don't think i'll open it though, probably sell it for 150 or so in a few months.

I had that thought too, but it's more worth it to me to enjoy the game.

Just one more thing!
Enjoying Mr. Shifty so far. I'm taking it slow at the pace of about a level between Isaac runs. I don't know how long the game will be but if it stays at the level of quality it's been at so far then I'll be satisfied with it. Since Hotline Miami comparisons are inevitable I'll say that Mr. Shifty's visuals and music can't match up to HM at all but the gameplay itself is solid. Unless there's a surprise coming later you don't get guns but there are various objects you can grab as melee weapons and you can also throw them as projectiles with different effectiveness depending on what you're holding. So far the game feels a bit on the easy side since you have the teleport ability. This lets you do cool tricks like having enemies chase you into a room, teleporting back outside and ambushing them from behind. I haven't encountered any cheap difficulty such as enemies shooting you from way outside of your view. I'll have to play more to build upon my impression but if the trailer looks fun to you or you liked using melee weapons in Hotline Miami then it's quite good for $15.

People also might have bought Zelda while there was a 20% launch discount from amazon prime/best buy club in anticipation of a switch this year. It's likely the best price we'll see for a long time for new copies. I would have done that myself if I wasn't going to get digital.

Has any other game ever hit (or, apparently, exceeded) 100% attach for a console for any period of time? I would imagine Mario 64 got drat close when the N64 launched. I mean, did anybody buy that console solely due to their intense love of launch day Pilotwings?

In Japan, Super Mario 64 had a 100%+ attach rate with the Nintendo 64 for the first few weeks of tracking. In North America, the Wii version of Twilight Princess had a 86% attach rate with the Wii in 2006 (November 2006 + December 2006). In Japan, Wii Sports was sold separately from the Wii system and had an attach rate of 57% after five weeks. Halo 1 is said to have had a 50%~ attach rate with the Xbox by April 2002.

Breath of the Wild was also multi-platform so maybe they are counting Wii U numbers.

Nah. As with any new hardware, there are a variety of hardware failures/issues that impact maybe 5% of users but the internet is an echo chamber

The only big issue has been the L Joycon transmitter in the initial batch. Since then it seems like it's died down a ton so it was probably all initial batch woes.

Open it up and add a piece of foam next to the Bluetooth antenna, between it and the big metal box inside. Alternatively solder a new antenna.
