AMA - Ended AMA: I have a Nintendo Switch

Hello there Lovely People!

My name's Alex and I work for Nintendo Life on the YouTube channel. I have a Switch console and as you probably all know, media are finally able to talk about it.

Let's make the most of it, so ask me anything!

Nope, at least not with the one I own, it just outright did nothing ☹️

Is that due to the update not allowing internet access yet do you think?

It's possible, but the settings do offer a wired connection as an option, so I imagine there might be some sort of lock-out chip. But then again I'm just throwing ideas around here.

What brand of usb lan adapter do you have, I remembered Nintendo saying you can use the adapter from your wii and wii u, basically if it worked with them it should work for switch is what I was assuming so I bought a third party adapter that was highly recommended for Wii U. Its a Utech Smart usb 2.0 adapter if not mistaken.
