Nintendo Switch Unboxing – Nintendo Minute

I think they were forced to do this since the stolen one was shown off.

They still didn't show the Menu / User Interface.

Switch has Friend Codes after all

Posted on March 2, 2017 by Brian

 

Remember when Reggie said that Switch wouldn’t use Friend Codes? Unfortunately, it seems that was incorrect.

 

Now that people are starting to download Switch’s first update, we’ve learned that Friend Codes are indeed a part of the system. You can search for other Switch owners using their Friend Code.

 

Don’t be entirely disappointed though. Switch does let you search for users nearby to add, and you can also search for those you’ve played with. It appears that Switch will also offer you friend suggestions based on who you’ve connected with previously in other Nintendo titles – such as the mobile release Super Mario Run.

Nintendo Everything - Thumbs up

Just watched first time setup, can't believe you have to manually set the date and time! Surely they could've just got it to sync with a time server especially as it's the step directly after the WiFi connection and setting the timezone.
