This actually isn't surprising cause John Cena (like a lot of pro wrestlers) is a huge loving nerd and he loves Nintendo. I kind of hope we get The New Day doing Switch promos next

The GameStop I preordered at is doing a midnight launch so that's pretty cool

I'm pretty sure we've had multiple posts now explaining why it's impossible for the Switch to have better battery life at current battery tech levels with its size at this point. Like until we figure out a better form of battery what the Switch has is the best case scenario

I'm reading some of these previews and some of the complaints are really odd. Here's one example is Engadget:

Engadget posted:

Most of the time, you'll be holding it with the two Joy-Con controllers attached to its sides, which makes it a bit awkward to wield with one hand. That's not much of a problem, though, since it balances nicely when you're gripping it with two hands like a game controller.

If you use one hand to use anything designed for two I imagine it would be awkward?

Lot of people angry over at NeoGaf about no activity log so they can see how long they've played a game. Was that a thing on past consoles?

There wasn't any reports of a desync issue at any of the events and that had a poo poo tin of interference. I wonder what could be causing it for a few of the preview journalists

The Switch's battery is actually pretty large so to charge in three hours it has to pull a lot of power. Slapping a USB C to micro adapter on a phone cord or a battery block meant for phones isn't going to cut it really. Once the size of the battery was known that should've been expected

I'm just hoping eventually we'll get something Miiverse like. With an actual decent capacitive screen I'd love to see some of the art people could push out with what they were able to create on the WiiU

Regardless of how you feel or how confident you are it can be fixed, it's completely bananas that Nintendo has been radio silent over this controller thing

Embargoes exist so everyone can talk about a thing at once, and literally all anyone on the internet can talk about is this problem. If they had known about this - and they had to have, given how easy it is to reproduce - they should have had their fingers on the PR trigger

It was literally discovered earlier today. Any statement by a company is gonna take a day or two to come out since it needs to be run through the PR machine

For the curious, how would a day 1 patch be able to fix the issue?

A lot of bluetooth modules have their strength set by the firmware on the device. Something like this could be easily fixed by a simple firmware update in a day one patch if the same applies to either the bluetooth in the switch, the joycons, or both. In fact it's happened before such as the PS3 and PS4 where firmware patches had to be sent to their controllers to up the strength of their bluetooth due to desync and laggy input issues. So this isn't exactly an unheard of situation
