Topic: Switch Controller Discussion

@SKTTR I haven't had a problem with the standard Dock really - I just wish that it was more travel friendly...the Nyko one looks like it would probably slip nicely in to my travel case, which is just ideal! Tabletop Mode is decent, but I'd prefer to play on a TV (particularly for split-screen multiplayer) where possible

except I already use 3................

Bit the bullet and ordered a NES30 controller. will pass on my thoughts when I have used it some.

My left joy con has returned^^ Today is a good day.

Used the NES30 for a while now, syncing was a PITA but now that is done I am enjoying using it.

A smidge small for my shovel hands, but the buttons feel good (for a third party controller) and it responds well.

(having a D pad for SF2 again is nice.)

Bought a Switch pro controller a little while ago following the recent update. Looking back now, I kind of regret not waiting until the Splatoon edition came out. I don't really much care much for Splatoon, but that one might've fixed the d-pad issues. Then again, maybe not.

i wish i could find yellow joy cons in store.

I love mine and they look so cool in handheld mode but honestly total guilt after the splurge cos essentially I now have 5 controllers (two sets joy con and pro)

when I do eventually find them ill sell my grey ones. Or maybe keep em to mix amd match.. Yeah ill keep em.

IMO the yellow ones are kind ugly. I like the red/blue ones & those are the ones I have. I think white ones would be cool!

Never took to the shades of red/blue but guess that's why it's good they are making different colours for different tastes. Glad I now have a kinda classy pair (grey) and a fun pair (yellow) that match.

I kind of want one yellow & the Splatoon green - but don't want either as a part of a pair - so I'm considering buying the Splatoon pair (green/pink), selling the pink one and picking up a single yellow Joy-Con so that I can have a red/blue/yellow/green set....it'd be a kind of convaluted way of going about getting what should be quite a basic combination of colours! ..but I think it'd be worth it - hey, with eBay prices as they are, I might even turn a profit! :/

@NaviAndMii Are they even going to sell the green/pink in the West? I haven't found any listings for it, just the pink/green Pro controller. The Splatoon hardware bundles get red/blue in the West.....I think they can't make enough Splatoon stuff to sate Japan in time. I want it for the green as well...mostly to have a red & green Switch at Christmas Might have to import if we want them though.

Only Nintendo makes us want to buy $80 spare controllers just to have different colors. They've turned us all into fashionistas....

very tempted to get the SNES30 Pro when it comes out... how do these controllers work with the switch though, i thought it didnt have bluetooth ?

@NEStalgia Uh oh...

...I just had a look around the net and it appears that you are correct - can't find any Splatoon-themed Joy-Con on these fair shores

Ah well, that solves the little dilemma I was having at least! Ugh...

@burger_king Switch has Bluetooth! Every Nintendo since the Wii has had Bluetooth. It uses it for the controllers (and therefore doesn't have Bluetooth AUDIO support... )

@NaviAndMii Yeah, I'm bummed too They might get here eventually...after they fill Japan's endless demand.

...I just want two Green joycon...sigh.

Counting down until my HRAP comes in though.

@Ryu_Niiyama What do you actually intend to play with the HRAP when it comes in? So far it's just the Neo Geo fighters, Neo Geo Shmups, and USFII that seem to have use of it (I WISH Pokken did, I'd use it! But since even the arcade cabinet uses a controller with a d-pad that seems kind of pointless I guess )

Looking forward to it, but I admit Arms has taken the thunder out of it a little.

@NEStalgia LOL what you just said. SF, Neo GEO games and any Shmups that are on the system...Fighting games and danmaku games are my heartbeat. (which is funny because I'm HORRIBLE at shmups...but I like to torture myself). The arcade was a magical place for me as a child, lol. Plus the Neo GEO is still my holy grail to this day. I'm waiting until I get a few more unique switch games before I buy every Neo GEO game (mainly because I have them in multiple other places) that the switch has but once I do...that HRAP is going to try to escape from my house. SF is honestly enough... so I don't feel like I have ham sandwiches attached to my wrists. The joycons are serviceable, but for a person that sucks at controller play (I blank on the inputs because I play so many systems...so trying to make a strategy AND remember what button is what is more than I can deal with mid match), I long for a real fightstick. Tetris will likely play better with a fightstick as well.

I'm loving ARMS still but I've gone back to wandering in Zelda (still not done) and SFII fights. ...Just started Cave story too...not impressed but since I paid for it I'll complete it. I'm switching to WiiU on the weekends because my backlog is so large it is depressing...like "what am I doing with my life?" depressing so I figured I'd start putting a dent into it. Randomly back to playing Skyrim (not sure why...considering it will be portable...and ugly soon) and I finally started Owlboy yesterday.

I think white JoyCons would be cool
