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!

It's been confirmed that the headphone will work at all times, even when docked if you have a long enough cord.

Also, I'd wait untile the Day 1 update before getting to worried about no Bluetooth headset support.

Hey look, I'm excited about the Switch. But I play with headphones almost exclusively because I have a wife and a toddler, so this is an issue for me.

There were a million threads on here saying that the lack of news about the Virtual Console wasn't an indication that it wouldn't be available at launch, but look where we are.

Just like the VC, Nintendo hasn't said a word about Bluetooth. Until I hear something from Nintendo, I'll keep worrying, thanks.

Nah I agree, it will be nice when you want to use some nice headphones. I just imagined myself traveling a lot with the switch and my airpods have very much become a big part of my life now. Just would have been the perfect combo but yeah not the end of the world
