Overall I love the switch. I do dislike two things.

-Left joycon drift

- Parental control scheme... it is console based rather than user/mii based. So it is very hard to cordon off a game like SkyRim to the teen/adult mii account. You cannot restrict playing hours bu mii - you have to restrict the whole console.

Doesn't Nintendo generally do well with replacing/fixing left joycon drift, though? I hope so, as mine's starting to get too annoying to use when I'm playing Smash with my roommates.
You can recalibrate them in the settings, it usually does the trick.

When that doesn't work, try a can of air, or if you are hardware and electronics savvy, take it apart and give it a real good cleaning.

A temporary remedy is to clean them out -- even a can of air can do it.

This is of course a temporary remedy, though, as you will have to do it again, and sooner or later, it won't work anymore.
