This reminds me of the time Wipeout's web applet was hacked to a psp web browser

Nintendo's finally made it, ladies and gentlemen. They've finally done what everyone else has done like 10 years ago lol.
Better late than never, at least.

That last line sounds like very good news.
Yup good catch. Together with the dev documents leak that basically confirms that you can transfer any purchase to another device with no hassle.
hiphoptherobot can you post pics of all the available user icons if you dont mind? Would be great to see all options. Also any indication of buying more icons or themes from the eShop? Maybe something in the manual? Also look in the manual for any day one update details of an Activity Log. I know its not happening at this point but still. .
If you can check these things that'd be great, but if not don't worry anout it. I bet your being asked a million questions already XD.
When we're at the point of buying icons... Jesus Christ

That's so mean.
Have a strong feeling that this is what we'll be getting. Tropical Freeze team making a 2.5D old school Metroid.

I don't see any indication of a web applet but I will take pics of the connection options when I get home.
also sounds like i can buy eshop cards now and not have to worry about them not working
Are there any public wifi signals near your house? Like for guests or cable routers or what have you?
Holy shit, really? I'm Nintendo consoles-only
Charging for avatars. I get themes, but avatars?

Well the last 2 lines, combined with the fact you can link a Nintendo account to multiple devices basically means the issues people had with Nintendo's online account system are gone with the Switch

Thank you for taking the time to answer all these questions. This thread is making me even more excited for the system.
The WiiU was the same. Your eshop wallet also syncs between 3DS and WiiU. Been that way for years now.
Yeah, it's old hat by now. The 360/PS3/PS4/Xbone all have paid avatars if you want special ones not included in the 'default list.'

What they're asking for would only present itself if you connect to a network with a captive portal. There's probably an option on your router if you have a newish one with a guest network.

Yeah, but that was just that. Your eShop balance. The image above says you can redownload any software or DLC you bought on that account, finally turning it all into a proper online account system.

That would be a sweet voice command.

I'm pretty sure both PS4 and XBO use the same language ("initialize"). PS4 definitely does.
I was able to re download everything I'd purchased on the 3DS eshop when I swapped for the new 3DS. It's been there, but given this notion I see how many people have actually needed to try and use it.

Sorry if I missed it... but do we have an answer for what happens you when hit the user icon?
Gonna ask this since it might be answered now that things have died down a bit- hiphoptherobot, are you able to change the region without any problems? Or does it warn you about things if you try to do it?
I guess we won't know for sure how well it works till the eShop's up, but if it really has no issue with letting you swap regions, that's a good sign.

There will be colors when games are loaded onto the home screen. Also when themes happen.

And please tell me the font they use will be 'smart' for lack of a better word instead of bloody comic sansy stuff they used on Wii/Wii U

Wondering this as well
Unrelated related question about the Switch? (If hiphop can actually answer the question, I'll be grateful)...
How much weights the whole package?... It's a nice info that I need for shipping reasons. Temped to buy a switch in a few months via import (Amazon), here the local store prices are a fucking joke (about USD $600)...

Cheers. Thanks for all the work so far. Hopefully we can put this issue to rest once and or all at some point, if you ever drop in a Starbucks!
No, they don't. My campus WiFi needs both a password and a username, and my 3DS can't connect. I had to have someone come by and connect it to a network specifically for devices that can't connect to the normal network, because they don't want people knowing the password.
Crazy to think that in 2017 we'd still have to question whether or not this would happen.
The worst part about Other M being the last major Metroid game released in the last six or so years is the fact that we always have to be looking at Samus' dinky armor from that game whenever Nintendo designs to actually reference the series again.
Fuck that, give me back her Super Metroid/Zero Mission design. Put some muscle back into it.
Or, alternatively, the Prime design.
Seriously. Give me back tall Samus with the huge shoulder ball things.
Where are you from? If you buy through Amazon Global the weight of the package doesn't matter that much.
Amazon is charging me 28 euros for shipping from Germany to Uruguay.
EDIT: I see that you are from Colombia. Here in Uruguay the Switch will probably cost around USD 600 too, I preordered mine from Amazon Germany for 390 euros, around 415 dollars.
That last line sounds like very good news.
Anyone who thought otherwise, after the extensive purchase history logs on Mynintendo when you link your account was just kidding themselves. I had to finagle the website to find it back then, but it was exhaustive.
Wow, I'm jealous that your campus even has that. I'm already resigned to the fact that I'm gonna have to pay the $20 fee for another wired connection in order to go online on it.
