Hello,

I don't know if it can help but I've noticed that my switch always crash if I change controller configuration whilst it's booting.

System crashes and I can only see sub menu whit "sleep option" which however doesn't work. I have to reboot the system pressing for 14 seconds power button to get the system boot properly again.

Ciao.

What they said. It's probably not a big deal, but make sure you report it to Nintendo so it can be on the radar for a future patch.

There isnt any point. My guess is it was simply loading drivers for the joycons in the background and when it lost connection to them it crashed because it didnt know what to do.

I don't understand...
What do you mean by change controller configuration?
Do you mean removing or attaching the Joy-Cons while the Nintendo/Switch logo is showing?

Mine just boots normally.

Yes, exactly. If I switch my console on and whilst is booting I remove from the joy-cons the "black part" used to play with Mario Odissey for example (I mean the parts with + and - having straps on the bottom side) system hangs.

What? You mean that if you boot up your Switch and remove the Straps on the JoyCons the system crashes?
But how?

I did not say that. I am saying that I am removing the "black part" as shown in the attached picture.

Those are the straps ._.
Either way that's really weird because the straps don't actually "connect" with the joycons (I mean the same way the nunchuks connect with the wiimotes) so I don't believe the Switch is crashing because of that

I was thinking that with straps you was meaning the strings you are supposed to pass around your wrists. :-)

I think that in some way the straps are connected to the joy-cons otherwise I can't see how does the swith "undestand" you're using them.

It doesn't. They're just plastic pieces with some lightrails for the LED indicators and L/R buttons that press onto the tiny SL/SR buttons on the JoyCons themselves.
You don't need to use them when a game tells you to, you can just ignore the message. Although some things may be harder due to how tiny and hard to press the regular SL/SR buttons are (Example: the Milk minigame in 1-2-Switch is unplayable without the straps)

Exactly, so maybe OP has a faulty Switch or it's just a bug

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then

    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
