Nintendo Switch locks eShop games to your ‘active’ console

His team at Yacht Club is one of the bigger indie developers backing Nintendo’s new console, having just released Shovel Knight: Spectre of Torment as a temporary Switch exclusive. It is a little bit expensive since it includes the guide and the controller, but it is indeed worth it if you’re a true gamer.

Natalie had been waiting for the doors to open since 2 p.m. Eli, in a show of support for his pregnant wife, joined her in line at around 4 p.m.

Other wireless devices can pose a problem, so make sure Switch is at least four feet away from the following devices: speakers, a wireless access point, laptops, tablets, headsets, printers and cordless phones.

It’s the first time Nintendo has given any indication there is an issue to address.

Granted, I am a hardcore gamer, the type of guy who would buy a Switch just for “Zelda” and spend 100 hours happily wallowing in it. Your purchase also comes with a free, three-month subscription to Just Dance Unlimited, a streaming service that expands the game’s music catalog. “You can very organically get a two player game going”.

“Convincing a wider audience to commit to the platform will take some work”, said Piers Harding-Rolls, head of games research at IHS Markit. “It pretty looks cool; it looks like a lot of fun”.

Diehard gamers, Nintendo fanboys, and early adopters quickly pounced on the first wave of pre-order units.

Nintendo shares are down about 15 per cent from October, when the firm gave gamers a sneak peak of its newest console. Not only did the NES lead to such genre-defining interactive entertainment as “Super Mario Bros.” and “The Legend of Zelda”, but it also liberated games from the arcade and brought them to the American living room. “[The Nintendo Switch] is getting a 10 out of 10, so I’m pretty excited”, he added. “With Switch, what you see is what you get”.

Nintendo Switch has officially launched today worldwide and retails at $299 for the standard edition. Games also come on postage-stamp-sized game cards you slide into a slot on top. The Switch’s flagship launch game – The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – has gotten near universal praise.

What happens if there is no more space on the System Memory for your game save data? You simply yank the Switch out of its docking station.

It’s an awkward move that’s oddly out of step with how Xbox and PlayStation have operated for years, which let users designate a “home” or “primary” consoles, respectively, and download games onto multiple machines. Reddit users speculated on whether the blue screen is the result of the required day-one update or a hardware defect; it’s not clear which is the case, although the latter seems more likely.
