Different colour temp and backlight not uniform.

 

They pulled that trick on the 3DS too, different screen types, one of which had a distinctly yellowish tinge. No way of telling which one you would get!

[Colonel Panic]

Nasty! My first iPhone was the same and it drove me nuts looking at it! Thankfully my Switch screen isn't yellow and it pretty uniform.

I booked a repair slot with Nintendo and was expecting a confirmation email with a shipping label. It's been a week now, presumably shouldn't take that long?

 

This happened with me. You're right it shouldn't take that long. I called them in the end to get my repair sorted. The chap on the phone confessed they have issues with sending email to Gmail accounts(!) so he posted me my postage label.

Gmail has a tendency to blacklist spammy mail servers. Or those that look spammy. Or send email lots of users then mark as spam.

 

Mailchimp and this very forum's own election have both fallen foul of it.

FIFA18 on Switch receives 494% sales increase in the UK due to price cut

Quote

The Nintendo Switch version of FIFA 18 jumped 494% in sales last week in the UK (physical sales only).

It has helped propel the EA game back to No.1. The Switch version of FIFA was heavily cut in price last week to under £30 (including digitally, which isn't counted here), making it the most affordable version of the game on the market.

However, the PS4 version remained the best-selling FIFA, and there was a sales bump for all SKUs of the game.

This is very concerning, a colleagues' Pro Controller just caught fire, wasn't even plugged in just sitting there on the coffee table:

Get onto Nintendo asap with that!   This is really quite worrying.... 

[Stanley]

How long had they owned the pro controller for?

[dataDave]

Doubling what Scott says. Tell them to get onto Nintendo ASAP.

Probably from the day it was released, big Nintendo fans.

I must admit I got it It's surprisingly fun having ditched the PS4 version as it had so much wrong with it.

 

Granted it's lacking things i.e. the be a pro mode, the journey. But Im enjoying it as its much more like fifa 17 than the ps4 / xbox fifa 18

 

Plus it is kinda cool that I can go to bed of an evening and play the career mode (i've never played it before and it's not half bad).

[pulsemyne]

I just bought FIFA as well. It's cheap and I quite fancied a footy game. I think EA should take some notice that if you are going to sell a cut down version of the game then it will be price sensitive in the UK. Price it well and it will sell.

I bought the mother fucker day one, loved it but there was a massive drop off in the online stuff. I might get back into the mother fucker again and play some mother fuckin association football. 

[Yiggy]

Is FIFA 18 on the switch decent? Does it play a decent game? I totally ignored it.

Christ that's even more worrying. Lucky they were in.

So I just came home from work only to find my Pro controller has melted.

So the huge update to Rime was worthwhile. 

 

Thought I’d try a fresh game to see the opening levels in a frame rate over 10 and resolution in triple figures.

 

But there’s only a single save slot.

Re. the Pro Controller meltdown megaton: It's happening because it draws its infinite power from a subspace dimension. Sooner or later the 'branes were going to collapse together. If anyone has one they're worried about going nuclear, PM me and I'll take it off your hands.

In all seriousness. Please report to Nintendo....if there is a fault (or faulty batch) it could mean a life or death for someone else.

Ok, set up a guest profile so I could go from the start. The update really gives a night and day difference, like the game has come out of early update or something.

 

Still choppy in parts but stable for a lot of it, a huge increase in resolution in both modes and less pop in.

 

Well worth picking up.
