I was putting my Switch into the dock slowly and carefully and it was still getting some scratches on the sides of the screen so that's why I got a screen protector. :shrug:

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
i enjoy my scratch free switch which has no screen protector and has a perfect dock that doesn't scratch said screen and i put it in the dock just fine and no marks appear whatsoever. i also enjoy putting it in my butterfox case and taking it places and coming back home with zero scratches and perfectly working launch day joycons.

I assume they mean "banjo" as in "Banjo-Kazooie".

He is referring to Banjo Kazooie, which had music composed by the same guy, Grant Kirkhope, which is very noticeable. And very good.

Lol this is at least the 3rd week the NBA Playgrounds twitter promised the Switch version would have their first patch (that gives it online play, a basic feature) and not delivered. Never buy a game from Saber Interactive. They are a piece of poo poo dev that has released broken games like Halo Master Chief collection.

Don't confuse the 3rd promised week for meaning the game has been out 3 weeks. It was released May 9th.

Fwiw one of their devs claim the patch is finished but they are going back and forth with Nintendo trying to get it up because it is too large for Nintendo's regulations or something. Mr. Shift claims to have had the same regulatory issue with a patch they have ready to go.

Also everyone saying they'll pick up a Switch during the holidays with Mario might wanna try middle of the summer instead. Demand doesn't seem to be slowing down and given both a new Mario and holiday demand I think it'll be even harder to get then

Is this actually a thing? My Switch is finally arriving on Monday; do I need to buy one of those sock covers for the dock?

I dont know if it's a misuse problem or not but I know that with my 3DS even when I was using it properly and taking care of it, it ended up having a little mark where the bottom screen touched the top one when the thing was closed and left a mark.
This design issue was a deal even into the New 3DS I think. It's not a huge thing, I just dont want it to be a risk even if its only a risk 1 out of 100 times or something.

I got a the glass screen cover because I dont really have a problem with screen covers and like to feel like Im putting a condom on my electronics or whatever so they stay nice looking (to me).

Same for my 3ds.

After two days of having my Switch I had a tiny scratch on the left screen border. It's about the length of my pinky nail.

The screen protector was $8 for two so it was really just a no brainer for me.

same. I never threw a wiimote or destroyed a circlepad while playing smash3DS either so I don't feel the need to put a protector on anything much less the Switch. some people are just sloppy cavemen who can't handle a loving electronic device.

Yeah it was the dock. I take the thing out like two or three times a day and there isn't any marks on the Hori protector.

I'm super careful with all my electronics because I'm a huge nerd.

I'm a bit of a clean freak in general so I try to keep all my stuff as mint as possible.

Exactly the complaint I have with Zelda's shrine system. They could've had like, twelve actually dungeon-length areas of ~10 puzzles each, with tests of strength for mid-bosses- but they went Far Cry instead.

Ya this is my only area of complaint with BOTW. The dungeons were pretty barebones and easy. Not the sprawling, massive dungeons were used to. Hopefully the next Zelda rectifies that and gives us the normal dungeons combined with a massive open world.

The Tarrey Town founding/building quest was more than one step long; it was alright.

And finding the 10 monument stones for the historian in Zora is okay (you'll have passed a bunch on your first trip there).
