How do you primarily plan to use the Switch?
Re: How do you primarily plan to use the Switch?
I have been using it through the tv until i had to go out of town mon-tues. i have to say i loved being able to bring it with me however the battery life was kind of dissapointing. i figured id be able to at least play for more than 2 hours before it was almost dead. all in all its awesome, just dont forget to bring a charger lol

The brightness setting and type of game plays heavily into the battery life. Turning the brightness down to 50 percent puts a good 45 minutes to an hour extra into playing zelda. If you are playing an indie game like shovel knight, expect a significant increase to your battery.

I plan to flip mine up and down to turn the lights on or off. Energy conservation is important.
Re: How do you primarily plan to use the Switch?
In portable mode, I'm usually playing before bed, so I've generally turned out the lights. I can jack that brightness down. That said, I'm not putting in three-hour gaming sessions with Zelda at night...
...except for the first night I had it.
Whoops.

I've yet to use it in my hands other than to pop around menus or the eshop, don't really see the point so far.
If I did I'd play with it, probably leave brightness in the middle as too high would probably be wasted unless you had a naturally very dark game that would be made too hard to see some details (perhaps Isaac?)
I undocked it about an hour ago and went to the eshop and tapped my way into Blaster Master and re-docked it for downloading. I'll probably mess with it today, though I do want to pick at Zelda. Zelda is almost an issue, you need 2+hours to really make a dent due to the walking distances being huge. I can deal with 3-5hours on a fri/sat night but not otherwise as nothing else gets done.

Mine has been mostly as a portable as I expected. I only dock it to play if I would be playing in the same room as the dock and TV and no one else is using it so, why not?
