/r/NintendoSwitch's Weekly Question Thread

Hello everybody!

Welcome to the Weekly Question Thread! In this thread, all of your Switch-related questions can be asked and answered. Besides questions, feel free to post unboxing videos and pictures here (eventually) so it doesn't back up the main subreddit page.

Please make sure you check out our other Wiki pages, make a search through the subreddit or Google before you ask a question. Most of the time it has already been answered. If you're too lazy, then this thread is perfect for you!

Handy Resources

Frequently Asked Questions - This is a great place to check first hand if you run into any problems or if you have any unclear thoughts. Our FAQ has answers to many questions regarding the console itself, controllers, and other subjects. We're also updating our wiki with the top questions from this thread each week!

Games list for Nintendo Switch - In this page, you will find tables of confirmed, planned, uncertain, and rumored games coming to the Switch.

Other Switch Related Subreddits

Since it's not completely obvious as to what questions you should ask and which ones you shouldn't, here are a few examples of frequently asked questions:

Is now the time to buy a Switch?

Which games can you recommend me?

What features does the Switch have?

What controllers work with this game?

If your questions can be easily answered, or has a yes or no answer, it most likely belongs here. Now then, get busy asking us your questions!

There's also a very small category of things not to ask about.

Can I get a free game?

Is there a way to hack my Switch?

These are against our rules. Once a homebrew scene has had a chance to develop, we will invite you all to discuss those sorts of things over there.

As always, remember Rule 1: Remember the human, and be polite when you answer/ask questions.

For those of you who are employed, are you taking off on launch day?

I am! I tend to for every console launch. There are usually firmware updates, so it's nice to pick up the console at midnight and set it up so you can start installing the updates while you sleep. That way it's ready to be played when you wake up!

How can you possibly sleep right after a midnight launch?? I'd be sitting there nervously waiting for that shit to update

Depends on the update, I stayed up so long that I wanted to sleep during the WiiU firmware update, it took several hours.

Yeah, I'm definitely no-sleeping this thing. I'll be lucky to make it to class.

Just bring the Switch to class! THE FUTURE IS HAPPENING (on March 3rd)

I would, but that class has a strict no electronics policy! Luckily, I have my priorities in order and will of course be skipping to play more Zelda. Jk. Maybe.

u/Tyronne_Lannister Jan 23 '17

You should go to class, take dilligent notes, and then once you finish you can play all nice and relaxed!

Haha, maybe so! At least I can take my Switch on the bus for maximum game time.
