Nintendo Switch day one update is now live

Right off the bat, there are a plethora of potentially good reasons to create a Japanese Nintendo account for your Switch.

Yesterday, the long awaited Nintendo Switch, along with the much hyped The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, arrived. You can establish a friend through local wireless communication.

The topic covers problems with characters in games appearing to move on their own; Joy-Con controllers responding intermittently; and Joy-Con controllers losing connection.

Thankfully, the process is a snap on the Switch – at least in my experience. Even if you log in to another console, you can’t download and play your eShop-purchase games unless you deregister your other console and activate the new one.

But the Joy-Con, which require charging, can not charge on their own, or even while attached to the grip.

There was no question that the Nintendo Switch was a unique product that would do well.

Don’t worry, you can still use amiibos on the Switch, but it’s a little different than it was on the Wii U. Here’s what you need to know.

Plus there are accessories that will cost extra – like additional controllers or spare docks. Others are patiently waiting for their pre-ordered Switch to land on their doorstep.

Amazon Games announced on Twitter that the hard-to-get Nintendo Switch will be available at its Amazon Books stores in Seattle, San Diego and Portland.

But the ultimate success of the Switch will depend not on its portability or its peripherals. The challenge now is whether Nintendo can keep the momentum going with solid third-party support in terms of games.

Speaking prior to launch, analyst firm SuperData Research expected the Switch to sell five million consoles over the ten months between its March debut and the end of 2017.
