@BruceCM how is Merchants of kaidan?
Worth the 1,50?

I think so.... @DenDen; distracted by DQXI S, at the moment If you like the description they provide, it's pretty good, so far, at least at that price
Those 8bitdo controllers look great but no use to me with my Switch Lite!

@MartieChick09

Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay.

1) This is probably not what you're looking for, but something like this for single Joy-Cons exist.

As for grips like the Joy-Con dog-grip that comes with the system though, I'm unaware of any of them.

2) I don't use any cases for myself, but that one looks pretty good. I'd go for that if you want one.

@MartieChick09
Surge Grips are the best for making a joycon into a controller. Low profile and super comfy, high quality.

As for a case, I just recommend something thin and that has a strap on the spine to carry it easily.

I also recommend an amFilm tempered glass screen protector. Actually it's not a recommendation, it's a must. Protects screen from scratching in dock and when in portable use. Tempered glass is SUPER easy to apply. Line up with scotch tape acting as hinges to keep it aligned. Lift up, peel of plastic, drop down, letting the tape auto-align it for you. Press in a plus sign motion and no bubbles.

Also recommend a Hori kickstand that stores a spare microSD in the kickstand, in case you max out and want to swap between another, itll always be with the system ready to go.

Speaking of which, whatever size microSD you think you need... double or even quadruple it. Trust me. Nearly everyone who said "I'll just go with a 128gb" ended up upgrading to a 256gb a year or two later, and many are now looking into 400-512gb.

I started with 256gb and now have a 1 terabyte card already maxed out. So ya, basically... just buy as much storage as you can afford. Even if you buy physically. There's tons of games that only release on the eShop, and many physical releases have huge updates or a mandatory download for a portion of the game (like 10-15gb download for a physical cart). Dont cheap out on storage.

@JaxonH and @EvilLucario Do you guys have any recommendations for using the joycons longways? As in using them together as one controller but having one in each hand and disconnected from the screen.

@MartieChick09 The Joy-Con grip that comes with the console is just that and there are rounded grips to not make it feel completely flat. I'm not sure of third-party grips, but the one that comes with the console works just fine imo.

@EvilLucario What would be some good rounded grips?

Ok I keep forgetting to preorder some games. I just remembered Destiny Connect comes out next month also.

Is Crash Bandicoot Nitro Racing a good racing game? I noticed there seemed to be a lot of "locked" content behind possible online races and some in-game purchases?

So anyone have any advice on choosing between DQ XI or Ni No Kuni for my next game?

@link3710 Try up DQ11's demo in the eshop and see if you like it, if you don't, just pick ni no kuni

. Just get both. They are both excellent rpgs.

@MartieChick09 Honestly, I think the regular Joy-Con grip that comes with the console is fine as is. Click the link to see what I mean.

Again though, I don't know anything about third-party solutions. Ask someone else in regards to that.

It's here.

@scubydo CTR is a good game, and as long you don't mind not getting all the extra content, you can get plenty of fun from it.

Very nice, Jaxon.

@Cotillion One thing I'll definitely be copping is the Square Enix Store-exclusive Switch slime controller

I still remember the one they released for Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2. As far as I'm concerned, its the exact same controller layout as the Slime controller that was released for vanilla DQXI on PS4 when it released in Japan and was brought over to the west, but has the configuration of a Pro Controller

That and the Daemon X Machina Joy-Cons are two accessories I'm definitely eyeing

@Cotillion
The dock is nice (as are the joycon) but the real star of the show is the console itself. I didn't post it before but here's what it looks like. Obviously the front really doesn't have room for any design but the joycon kinda take care of that.

Thankfully you can probably buy docks with custom paint jobs, if you really wanted.

@BlueBlur101
I have that Slime controller coming myself, but from Amazon Japan.

Like the DxM joycon but, no gyro is a deal breaker.

@Magician
Thanks!

@JaxonH Congrats, looks fantastic.

What would everyone say would be most likely on a possible NES+SNES Remix port for Switch. A retail boxed copy? Paid, digital only? Or the newest free bonus to NSO subscribers?
