The Switch is weird. Tremendous batch of launch games... and incredibly weak system features and user comms.

They aren't charging for the service yet.

Lets face it, Mafro, it'd be amazing if they did. And they will be from January, so there needs to be a pretty big step up in service.

I think at this point you just have to hope this is a trial period for them and they'll make lots of improvements based on feedback by January.

There's actually a feedback section in the app covering a variety of topics:

Would be more helpful if people used that instead of whining in corners of the internet Nintendo won't see.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say that the general setup is pretty poor, Maf. I'm fulsome in my praise when Nintendo do something well, but I'm not blind when they drop the ball. I saw that the feedback option was there and, yeah, I will be using it.

I was pretty interested in this... but it's £26.99 . No way am I paying that much for it .

That is a lot, I'm sure it can be had on PC for pennies at times.

I like the idea of the smartphone app, I just hope it is regularly improved upon with updates and that the communication features are streamlined somewhat.

It would have been great to just plug a headset into the jack or let us sync wirelessly when docked. Oh well, early days.

I bought it in a Steam sale years ago.

Yeah, I remember downloading it on 3DS and the Wii and I'm sure it wasn't anywhere near the £27 mark.

Still quite tempted to get this.

Yeah, I'm pretty keen, too. I have reservations about the motion control aspects - I assume that standard button controls will also be an option? It seems amazing that such a huge game could be played on a portable console.

Never played skyrim so will definitely pick it up on the switch.

Just sent you a friend request Dragon :toot:

Has the Nintendo Network gone down? I had just turned my Switch on and there were twelve friends online... now none of the are and the eShop is reporting an error.

Looks like my friendship with Dragon is just too strong for the Nintendo Network :toot:

I guess it is down at the mo'? All my GRcadian friends are showing as offline...

It's coming up and down, I keep getting booted from games.

The garbage Bluetooth in this console is giving me the dreaded syncing issue, but with both JoyCons AND the Pro controller. It's no doubt exacerbated by the console being behind the TV, but at a mere 2m, it shouldn't be this much of an issue.

I have literally nowhere else the console can go, though. It would either be in front of the TV obscuring the screen, on its side where it can't dock properly, or in a position where there's not enough space to fit it in the dock from above. Ballache.

Do you still have to mutually add friend codes? Cos that sounds like some 2009 nonsense.
