Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Northwind It's probably just Nintendo trying to cover themselves, you won't need to charge it every six months.

My 3DS and Wii U controllers were used for years, and now they will drain battery when I haven't used them for a year or so. My Wii U Pro Controller was completely drained the last time I checked and I always kept that charged.

I'm guessing the battery life gets damaged if it stays at a low amount for a while - I think the healthy range is between 70-100%? So we can probably leave it uncharged for longer, but in this case Nintendo can say "at least we warned you, so no we won't give you a free repair under any warranty".

So it's official. My left Joy-Con is starting to drift. I've noticed it a couple of times in Mario Galaxy. But now it's pretty clear, Mario is walking to the left without me touching the stick.

@Octane All joycons will likely drift at some point.

I fixed mine months ago with some alcohol and a cotton swab, and the drift still hasn't reappeared since.

@Octane It comes and goes, my Pro Controller has had similar issues. It was drifting to the left every few minutes back when Xenoblade Chronicles came out in May, then it fixed itself somehow over the summer.

...it's returning a little these days. Mario has been running to the left unfortunately.

Hopefully it will pass, but it's an annoying problem.

@Ralizah Is it fixed in the new Joy-Con? Like, if I bought a brand new set at this point?

Otherwise I'll need to find myself a triwing screw driver...

@Northwind That's what happened to my Lite. I haven't taken it out of its drawer since I bought it when it was first launched.

@Octane No, I think joycons still suffer from this as much as they ever have.

Cleaning it out really is vastly easier. Or you could even send it in to Nintendo. Taking the thing apart sounds like such a pain.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/09/super_smash_bros_ul... the next character in the second Fighter Pass of Super Smash Bros Ultimate is gonna be revealed tommorow at 7a.m, lets start the prediction who gonna show the Smash Bros Ultimate roster next, lets hope and expect is Dr. Eggman, the Super Smash Bros franchise need more vilain in it roster.

@Slowdive this not happen to me, since i got my Switch of extended battery for one of my cousins in novembre close to Black Friday last year when he travelled to Usa, since decembre 4th of 2019, i have been playing my Switch for at least 4/6h per day.

@Ralizah I don't think it's supported over here. So I'd have to send it in as a general repair, which is going to cost quite a bit.

check out the 10 characters that need urgently to return in Animal Crossing New Horizons, Nintendo stop pretending Brewster doesnt exist and give him to us already

lets hope and expect is Dr Eggman for Smash Bros Ultimate second Fighter Pass.

@Octane that sad, my Joy-Cons i have since dezembre 4th of 2019 of my extended battery Switch, that one of my cousins have bought to me when he travelled to Usa in novembre close to Black Friday last year, and my cousin Switch have not suffered the dreaded Joy-Con Drift, we pay a lot of money for a console and 6 months /1 year later, the Joy-Cons of your Switch start Drifting, Nintendo need to suffer a lawsuit, to stop giving us defecting products, where is the companie notorious for the resilience of it products?we even have a still working Game Boy that survived the Golf war, Nintendo your hardware quality in this generation is disapointing.

I don’t follow Smash much, and don’t really care about what characters are added tbh...

Except Monster Hunter.

I hope we get the monster hunter character added into Smash, with the wirebug as an Up B recovery move. They added a female hunter to Marvel vs Capcom Infinite and she was awesome. Only reason I bought the game was to play as her.

I think they will add a Hunter, but I suspect it may be a later addition closer to the release of MH Rise to drum up cross-game excitement.

@Northwind asking for the Smash Bros comunity to temper they expectation is a really difficult thing to do, everyone or most of the Smash Bros comunity is expecting a big reveal tommorow, like is Crash gonna join Smash Bros Ultimate tommorow, i agree with you, since the Coronavirus pandemic affected everyone and it seen that affected Nintendo the most i can see they delaying most of the Character in the second Fighter Pass until late 2022/early 2023, is very hard to develop a game when you are in home office, specially if you are in Japan, a country that is not acostumed to work in home office, westerners like us is somehow acostumed to work in home office, but not Japan, imagine having to develop a game like Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild 2 remotely, that a big trouble most game developer specially in Japan, have to be acustomed.

@JaxonH i can see this happening, all or most characters in the Super Smash Bros franchise is not only added in the game to represent they franchise, but to also help promote the franchise or a upcoming game of this franchise, based on that trought, i imagine and expect that Nintendo might add a character for Hyrule Warriors:Age of Calamity to promote the game and a character for the Monster Hunter franchise to promote Monster Hunter Rise and Monster Hunter Story 2.

I like Smash. I play it with a friend at least once a week. I probably have hundreds of hours put into it.

But I cannot, for the life of me, understand the buzz every time a new character is announced. It's just a fighting game.

Same.

@Ralizah the Super Smash Bros franchise, is not just another fighting game, but a celebration of Nintendo franchises and others franchises, in short, the Super Smash Bros franchise is a way to celebrate gaming.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/10/animal_crossing_pok... well that unexpected, i can understand Mario(Super Mario 3D All-Stars) be nominated on the Golden Joystick Awards 2020, but Animal Crossing New Horizons that suprised me.
