\\n
\\n00:01:59 | Storage & File Management
\\n
\\nStorage space
\\n
\\nOnly 32 GB of storage space.
\\nFrom what I remember, when asked about this, Reggie Fils-Aime (CEO of Nintendo of America) noted that they wanted to keep the price <= $300, and having that 32GB of storage space was needed for that.
\\nCan handle microSD card slots of up to 2TB though, and that\\u2019s where the software needed to run the game will live.
\\n
\\n
\\nHow game software and safe files are stored:
\\n
\\nGame cartridge (doesn\\u2019t matter if you have microSD card or not)
\\n
\\nSoftware to run game is on cartridge.
\\nSave files are on the Switch.
\\n
\\n
\\nDigital copy of game & no microSD card
\\n
\\nSoftware to run game is on Switch
\\nSave files are on Switch
\\n
\\n
\\nDigital copy of game & microSD card
\\n
\\nSoftware to run game is on microSD card (as long as there\\u2019s room)
\\nSave files are on Switch
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nCANNOT BACK UP OR TRANSFER GAME SAVE FILES
\\n
\\nSeriously, what the fuck?
\\nNintendo Technicians can supposedly transfer from one switch to another.
\\nMicro SD card is formatted for just your switch
\\nAs a gamer: frustrating
\\nAs a Nintendo fan: disappointing
\\nIf you could back up/transfer your save files, I\\u2019d probably buy games like Yooka Laylee and Sonic Mania on the Switch.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n00:15:01 | Battery Life
\\n
\\nAccording to Nintendo, ~2.5-6 hours.
\\n
\\nThanks for the vague answer guys!
\\n
\\n
\\nSo intensive games, like BotW, would be much closer to the 2.5.
\\nBotW is \\u2018supposed\\u2019 to get about 3.5
\\nI cannot remember how much BotW playing time I got from single charge of the switch.
\\nFrom what I remember, it took ~2 hours to go from empty to full on the dock while not playing on it. \\xa0Nintendo claims ~3 though. \\xa0It was a while ago that I tried this though.
\\nComparing to that of the DS:
\\n
\\n\\u201cA common complaint was the 3DS’s battery life; Engadget reported to get 3 hours of battery life from the system, while IGN reported 2 to 4.5 hours of play.\\u201d

\\n00:19:03 | Kickstand
\\n
\\nFlimsy as all hell.
\\nFeel like I\\u2019m going to break it everytime I use it.
\\nShould have had the entire back plate as one large kickstand.
\\nNot many people are saying this, but I have heard a couple of reviews praising Nintendo for the kickstand\\u2019s placement over the microSD slot.
\\n
\\nBro, chill. \\xa0They literally could have placed it ANYWHERE.
\\nAnywhere not over the microSD slot would have been dumb.
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n00:21:06 | Bluetooth
\\n
\\nCan\\u2019t connect a wireless headset to it.
\\n
\\nBut it has bluetooth. \\xa0Seriously, look at the specs. \\xa0It has bluetooth because the JoyCons wirelessly connect to the switch via Bluetooth.
\\n
\\n
\\nThere are third-party controllers that connect via bluetooth
\\n
\\n00:23:55 | Speakers/Microphone
\\n
\\nSpeakers get very loud, despite being on the back.
\\nIs there a microphone?
\\n
\\n00:26:02 | HD Rumble
\\n
\\nHD Rumble is Geoff\\u2019s most underrated feature about the Switch.
\\n
\\n1-2 Switch demoes it really well
\\nGeoff thinks it can be a great \\u2018little thing\\u2019 that could improve many games, so he hopes more developers will utilize it nicely.
