There's other problems people have, but I haven't had any of the ones described.

Another problem ppl seem to have is joycon reception, but that all depends on how far away you play from your Switch.

Maybe you can add multi select?

You should add an option.

Yes, and had no faults, yet.

 

[thekarter104]

You can always switch to your Wii U if you have any problems.

Yes, and had no faults.

That is what I meant with the first option. Unfortunately I can't edit it now to make it clear.

Yeah, then you can have more frame drops in BotW, and at a cap of 720p.

I believe moderators can edit polls, so I suggest reporting the original post and requesting the option to be changed, if you wish.

That said, I picked the first option. I've been playing pretty heavily since Friday on mine, mostly docked, and have had no issues with connectivity or anything else so far.

Digital Foundry would like to tell you otherwise.

I'm used to the N64 anyways, no problem for me. I'll switch to the Switch when it is finally mine this Christmas ^^

Really slow wifi compared to other devices in same location even when those devices are put in airplane mode.

 

[Windaga]

No problems here (or on the two other Switch units I've used.)

Set my system up and have 20hrs in Zelda. No faults although admittedly im using a pro controller and tv only. Verified switch screen has no dead pixels and the hour or so used in handheld mode had no problems.
My screen did get the two smudges from the dock that I had to wipe off vigorously and then I went and got a screeen protector.

Set up my friends and he has no problems.

NO problems

For people having problems with the left joycon, here goes a (perhaps) useful tale:

@Mr. Wizard , regarding the joycon issue miracle fix I think you are on the money.
I bought a Pro Controller, synched it to the console. Then disconnected all controller from the console, then resynched all controllers to the console.
After this the left joycon that was having problems minutes before, has been working flawlessly for the last hour.
I don't know exactly what part of the process fixed it, but I think I will post this around anyway.

 

[Bladexdsl]

here's how to fix the left joycon forever. buy a pro controller

 

[WiiUBricker]

here's how to fix the left joycon forever. buy a pro controller

That's circumventing a problem, not fixing it.

 

[Chizko]

Yes. And I haven't had any problem.

 

[McWhiters9511]

no problems at all
