Topic: HD Rumble Thoughts

@Luigi-number1 I don't think normal rumble would fit in the joy con and I think I'd prefer HD rumble over the mobile phone vibration we'd get if it wasn't HD

@ralphdibny don’t get me wrong. I would also love super higher hd rumble but that’s only if they supported it more. At launch, I think 1-2 switch was the only game that supported hd rumble. We all bought this hd rumble tech even tho most of us don’t really use it. BOTW, arms, splatoon2, mariokart8 all don’t use it and I’m not 100%but it’s possible links awakening won’t have it too

@Luigi-number1 ARMS actually does use it, albeit not to such an extent as other titles that make good use of it, but it does let you feel separate rumble in your left or right hand when a punch connects. You don't get that with a normal controller. Then it would just be low, medium or hard rumble, spread across the entire controller.

@ThanosReXXX I really did not know that and I did buy this day 1 for the switch.

I was quite excited for it after the uk hands on invites. It just got really boring quick, well to me anyways.
I’ve traded this in however they did add a lot to the game with free dlc. It’s just a game where the online community just dropped it and getting a game was like waiting over 10 minutes, it might be different now.

@Luigi-number1 Yeah, as a single player, it's kind of over real soon with keeping you entertained, but I imagine that with a couple of friends, it can be a lot of fun.

@ThanosReXXX this I can completely agree with but most don’t have gaming friends, well I have my wife and kids and the small number that do will only want to play Mario kart 😉

@Luigi-number1 Yeah, it's always the usual suspects, isn't it? God forbid they'd try something new and innovative...

I never really noticed it, but after seeing this thread I've become a little more consious of it when playing my Switch.

And I must say...it's subtle, but quite effective in Mario Odyssey. Every movement has a slight rumble to it, and it really does add weight to Mario's actions. My favourite is the crunchy feeling created when walking through snow.
