I know! The box says 40 hours! That is amazing. Something they did right!

The Wii U Pro Controller battery lasted about 80 hours on a charge.

No one is stopping you! To be honest I stopped updating the games I own here.

So in my experiment, it seems like if you dock your Switch while in sleep mode, it won't change the input of your TV, but it will if you are playing a game. So that's good, was worried it would switch the TV every time I wanted to charge it.

Anyone found a way of checking how much time you've put into a game? I've been looking but there doesn't appear to be a log like the 3DS and Wii U. Just curious how much time I've sunk into Zelda so far.

There's no log (yet) unfortunately. They may introduce one when they release the Nintendo Switch later this spring.

Best way to measure playtime is to count how many times you've had to recharge your Pro Controller! ;)

I feel confident saying I've put more than 30 hours in so far, getting close to 40 I imagine. Really would be nice to track playtime.

Got my switch on Launch (currently in the U.S visiting family )

Been loving Zelda and 1,2 switch was fun for the few days.


+ Being able to play Zelda on the go
+ Comfortable/sleek design
+ HD rumble is astounding !
+ Type C charger instead of proprietary is nice
- battery life could be better
- console OS/games library feels unfinished like i
Somehow picked up the console 6 months early
- Games that might appeal (bomberman) cost 10 times what they should
- friend codes and limited options suggests Nintendo have learned nothing about Online since Wii was released
- console struggles to run a launch title at 900p on the big TV, is the systems power gonna be an issue in the long run? It's miles ahead as a handheld but as a home console it's light-years behind
- 32gb storage /no way to move saves or tie purchases to accounts.. seriously Nintendo?
