So one of my joycons now quite easily slides out of my switch even when it is snapped in place.

Is there anything I can do to fix this, and is this more of a console or joycon problem?

It's a Joy-con problem. The plastic tooth that keeps it in place has worn out and doesn't stop it from sliding out. Usually this happens if you managed to put the straps the wrong way and removed them by force.

Does the Switch have any kind of built-in capture, streaming, or social media sort of stuff like the PS4 has? I heard something about there being a photo mode in BOTW and Mario Odyssey, and I was wondering if maybe there was a way to take screenshots and videoclips and then save them to a USB stick or something.

There's a dedicated capture button that takes screenshots and (in supporting software titles, mostly first party for now) allows you to record the last 30 seconds of footage, although in the future that will be expanded to up to 5 minutes, I think? This is saved to internal memory or an SD Card, and you can pull it from the SD Card if you shove it in your computer, or you can upload directly to Twitter or Facebook (no youtube, yet).

Also, yeah, Odyssey has a capture mode that lets you move the camera around and add filers and stuff to take cooler photos.

That's cool. I don't have any kind of capture device to record video or capture screenshots from a console, so having it built into the system is a nice touch. I'll have to remember to pick up an SD card if when I get a Switch.

It also helps that I've really taken to photo modes in games. Both Arkham Knight and Shadow Warrior 2 had it, and I spent a good amount of time setting up shots instead of actually playing the game. (Shadow Warrior 2's photo mode was especially nice, since you could take shots at higher resolutions.)

Moving back to Switch talk, I made up a small list of games that I was interested in:
  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Zelda:BOTW
  • Puyo Puyo Tetris
  • Golf Story
  • Splatoon 2)

Is there anything else that's worth checking out? The only other games I can think of is Arms (which didn't really interest me), and Mario Kart 8 (which I already have on the Wii U.)

Really think about getting MK8 again on Switch. I'm not even being facetious. Battle Mode owns and being able to pop out the joy-cons for instant two-player also owns.

The first one is an actual Power Moon, yes. "Shopping in X Kingdom". After that it's just to pad out your total.

Octopath seems pretty good from the demo, but I'd love another game in the series because I love the world and characters. Plus the Octopath mechanics are a little different (while still being good, from what I've played).

You need to buy them to reach 999 moons and unlock one last tiny minor thing.

And they also can be to help people unlock other stuff if they don't want to actually play the game for some reason.
