Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

I've been thinking about getting a new controller from 8bitdo myself but I have a feeling my joy con ( right especially ) is starting to wear out. It has wierd phases of not charging properly. It'll say low battery and I'll have to turn it off and reconnect to the switch ( uncharged) and itll say full battery for some reason. Only reason I haven't bought an 8bitdo yet was because I may need to cough up some cash for new joy con and I may as well buy a new set

That's been my conundrum, too. But I typically play docked 70% of the time, sooo.

@JackEatsSparrows I'm exact opposite so the joy con are pretty much a necessity for me. They're just so damn expensive and I'm shocked I'm experiencing issues after 2 years. I have original Nintendo controllers, Sega controllers, and even an og gameboy that works. Crazy to say the least

I hear ya. It's like they jammed too much magic in the right side
Ironically, I swapped the console's red/blue for preowned fuchsia/lime in the summer. The fuchsia was a gamestop refurb, but the lime was just used. The lime is the one with the drift.

NL just did a review on the megadrive 8bitdo controller.. that looks pretty decent and its only $27. Only problem is no analog sticks..

Yeah, that review is what made me think about the SN30 again. I considered it awhile back, but now there's more games I would use a dpad with. And I'm not always in the mood too hold my pro controller, especially after yard work (since that season has started here in good ole 'geogia')

Well, looks like Capcom jumped off the deep end after all.

Think I'll grab RE4 still if it has motion but, the Collection can wait.

Yep. £30 a pop for the RE games. Yeah no. Sorry.

And to the surprise of no one, like almost every other Capcom release on Switch...digital only in Europe. Oh lawd

Are Wii U amiibo compatible with the Switch?

there's no such thing as a "WiiU Amiibo"

@Fujin Amiibo all work with compatible software on the Switch.

To anyone who's pre purchased any of the re games. Do you get discounts on others if you pre purchase one of them?

Not sure. I just wanna know if RE4 supports gyro. If so I’ll preorder right now.

If not, I’m tempted to wait for a sale, just on principle.

Yea for sure. It doesn't even say it on the eshop.

If it supports gyro, all is forgiven.

If it doesn’t, and they just pushed this game out with no retail release and at 50% markup, without the one feature Switch fans are nuts over, I’m gonna be a little irate.

But I think it will. Then again, I thought their pricing would be consistent with their previous releases and we all see how that turned out, so...

Yeah I would only buy it with motion controls.

Though they did add them to the revelations games, so I'm optimistic.

@Ralizah alright thanks

Fixed, at least for the UK.

I honestly can't see how they thought these prices would be good - wouldn't surprise me if the majority of potential consumers are out because of this price.

Then again, I bought Twilight Princess HD so maybe I should keep quiet...

what are gyro and analog controls?? i see people talk about them and i just have no clue what it is.

@Arbor Gyro refers to the gyroscope in your controller. That's what it uses to detect motion. So it's motion control (but different from the pointer controls on the Wii, which required a light bar, and a sensor in the Wii Remote).

Analog controls refers to how button presses are measured. With digital it's either a 0 or a 1; Either you press the button or you don't. With analog the system is able to differentiate between the amount you press the buttons. It's what the GameCube controller has, and the DualShock 4 for example. The Switch Pro Controller lack analog triggers. They can be useful in racing games, since you can adjust your acceleration by adjusting the pressure you put on the triggers. With the Switch Pro Controller it's either full throttle or nothing at all.
