@Octane yeah it's a pain. First couple sets I just chalked it up to my kids being clumsy but when my personal Joycons (that the have never even touched) started doing the same thing, makes me think they're just fragile in general. Never had issues with any others, even my original nes controllers from 1990 still work!
Agreed. I feel like it is the size and durability of the parts that cause the issue, but I'm not sure how Nintendo is going to fix it. The joycons are too expensive to keep fixing (I sent in my first pair and they didn't fix them) so I'm going to try the aftermarket parts eventually. But I'm going to be working more so I won't worry about it for now.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin looks really good. I never finished Citizens of Earth but I liked it enough to buy the sequel day one.

I had a tad bit of drift crop up in my launch joycons a few months back. Canned air, aggressive recalibration, and plain luck seems to have mostly addressed the issue.
Some peoples keep complaining about Open World details. š¤Ø
Pokemon Sword / Shield have their own Open World style, maybe less details than BOTW, but who cares?
Kids will not noticed too many details on every environments.
As long the gameplay is interesting, they will not complaining on every single things.
^ personally I'd rather see a shorter console cycle with a Switch 2 rather than a minor upgrade for full price. I miss when the console launch...was the console launch and not the bandaid/early adopter beta until the real version comes out.

In March 2017 Nintendo gave us a 2015/16 Wii U game that shook the world with it's art style, physics engine and sense of freedom, and 2 and half years later Gamefreak can only muster a free camera in a particular zone... SMH.
As for Fire Emblem 3H, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I've no doubt that gameplay-wise it will be very engaging, but I'm genuinely a bit taken aback at how little effort seems to have gone into the visuals.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
This Witcher 3 rumor. Everyone is talking about how it will run and look,but what about the
Switch battery life when playing it?
I'm guessing it's gonna last for a good hour, if the game ever gets ported.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I'm currently playing Assassin's Creed: Revelations & Watch Dogs 2
Bah, no time for Witcher 3 (I mean, who has even heard of that game!?!). I can't bear the wait. SEGA have just renewed another trademark for Monkey Ball Banana Blitz. So this and the 'ripe' one the other week...surely...
@MsJubilee I don't see why it'd be significantly shorter than any other game that utilizes boost mode and taxes the system's resources in handheld mode. Which means between 2 - 3 hours in handheld mode. Not amazing, but not a dealbreaker if you connect it to a portable battery between sessions.
Just finished Resident Evil 4 for the first time (I played it on Gamecube a decade a go, but only got so far). The game is phenomenal - definitely a highlight of the 6th generation, and still holds up well today. As much as I'm annoyed at Capcom for the Ā£30 price tag, it's still worth every penny - I definitely recommend that anyone who's not yet played it picks up on Switch.
As for Fire Emblem, I donāt think strategy games are typically visual spectacles, at least, certainly not FE, but it seems in line with Path of Radiance on GC and Radiant Dawn on Wii. And we have to keep in mind, Switch is basically a PS3. I know itās easy to get accustomed to PS4 and X1 games, and then feel like anything lesser than is inadequate, or at least, anything lesser than the most immaculate graphical showpieces on Switch. But... Switch is a mobile system, and the jump from 3DS has been enormous. Graphical expectations should be in line with PS3, 360 and Wii U. I know technically games might look a little better because it has more ram and all that, but from a macro perspective thatās roughly on par with Switch games (pretty much the same, just a jump from 720p to 1080p). And if you take a title like say, Fire Emblem, and compare it to games on other similar hardware, itās a decent looking game. I wonāt say itās a great looking game, but it gets the job done. Certainly better than the low budget efforts Iāve seen with countless other SRPGs. And after playing Awakening, Fates and Echoes, Three Houses feels like a noticeable leap forward. So from my perspective it feels like we are getting a true next generation Fire Emblem game. Because the last one I played was roughly on par with a GameCube game.
Just to provide some perspective, hereās Path of Radiance (the actual Fire Emblem GameCube game). A decent looking game. Fans generally loved the look, which has been a standout for the series. Radiant Dawn on Wii looked about the same, since Wii was basically a GC with a Wiimote.
And Three Houses with the ground level views and snazzy new redesigns. I think itās a really big step forward for the series.
Or, to give another comparison, just to show the improvement of textures and models.
Itās not some bombastic graphical showpiece, but itās a good looking game. Itās an improvement over what weāve seen before, and thatās good enough for me.

I have a feeling my joy con are close to death. Ever since you guys started saying you're having problems is when mine started acting up. Thanks for the Jinxš
I treat my cons carefully, but already got drift on the included set after 6 months. so I bought a yellow pair new at the start of the year, no issues since. I try to use my pro docked, or 8bit in tabletop, but sometimes Iāve gotta play handheld.

My analog of my Xenoblade Pro controller, however, seems to get dirt or dust trapped underneath on a regular basis, to where when I push UP, it intermittently activates. In the calibration screen it kind of shows a flicker. If I push the stick down and blow really hard it seems to work for another hour or so. Then Iāll notice in Final Fantasy XII, when Iām running forward I suddenly start walking and then running again and then walking. So I blow in it again and it fixes it for another hour or two.
Idk. Kind of annoying but not the end of the world.
Oddly, the issue only started once everyone else started talking about ādriftā with their joycon.
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin (a play on āOf Mice and Menā perhaps?), one of Xseedās coming titles, looks very interesting.

@Link-Hero It is mostly the set pieces that are repetitive. As an example, many of the ruins are the same pieces scrambled together in different forms. The same with trees, rocks, bokoblin camps, shrines and dungeons. It is my most played game on the switch, but it isn't flawless by any means.
