Have you actually tried the other solutions for it?

The contact cleaner approach has worked great for me on 2 out of 3 occasions. Then on the one time it didn't work, I just bought a new analog stick off ebay and replaced it myself. Very cheap and fairly easy to do.

Oh my gosh. Sniper Elite 4 is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s better than Splinter Cell Blacklist and honestly, it’s better than Metal Gear Solid too. It’s easily the best stealth game I’ve ever played, and I absolutely suck at stealth games... usually anyways. I seem to be pretty good at this one though (granted, I’m playing on normal difficulty). This game is... it’s just incredible.

@Heavyarms55
You must have hit the motherlode. I haven’t seen them less than $180 myself. But prices are coming down, which is a good sign. Maybe larger storage capacities are nearing release.

I bought 3 for $250/ea, one for each Switch- v2 digital, Switch Lite digital, v2 physical) right after they released and thought that was a great deal (at the time they were $350). Then I bought a fourth a few weeks ago for $180 to tuck in the kickstand of the v2 digital Switch. Even then, I only have 150 gb space free on the spare, and 50gb free on the main card. And that’s with keeping a spare Witcher 3 cartridge in the slot at all times to alleviate 32gb storage, and having 2 games on the internal storage. We need larger micro SD cards ASAP.

Yeah, I tried to repair it myself and botched it, badly. I didn't handle the ribbon cables well at all. Full on "bull in a china shop" situation.

Before now? Never.

But now that I need a replacement controller to play my Switch in bed I'll consider them.

Lol. Yeah it does say on the small print "Not for clumsy sausage fingers." I think.

Anyone know if a fast charge cell phone galaxy s20 can safely charge a Nintendo switch? The charger the phone comes with I mean... thanks

@Tangerine
Yes, BUT... I would check the Power Delivery profiles. Switch official charger uses a very odd 14.5V at 1.2A which is often MIA from other USB-C PD chargers. Either way it should work. I cant recommend it long term, but itll probably be fine.

For being compared to hardware that's essentially TWO generations ahead in power, the Switch version of Immortal Fenyx Rising holds up insanely well.

It still amazes me they're able to take games like this and compress it down into a handheld version while still retaining such a similar look and feel.

I’m pretty impressed with the Switch version of immortals. Will get sometime next month.

Edit: down to my last 56GB. After clearing demos. Sigh. Need 2TB card. Come on sandisk!

@JaxonH I bet you get a real kick out of treating people like this, don't you. Like a proper little Pied Piper ain'tcha. Well, I hope it makes you happy.

Sniper Elite v2 and Sniper Elite III bought.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

I saw you post in my email, and my heart started pounding, thinking oh crap, what did I do! ha

Sniper Elite 3 is a lot more open, but I think you’ll like em both. Do you play on the TV or handheld?

I bet they put a remaster on Switch (maybe upgrade Sun and Moon for the Switch or something like that?), or maybe just a ported collection of the mainline entries or something. It'll sell millions whatever they do lol

I do this regularly, so far without any issues. I am aware of the 'risk' I'm taking. Gives me a thrill everytime I unplug it

@JaxonH I swing both ways... but predominantly handheld. No stranger to table-top either. Depends on the game somewhat. If it's a gyro-aiming game like Splatoon 2 or Call of Juarez then I detach the joy-cons - if I try gyro aiming handheld I get in a dizzy mess.

Is IV even more open than III? I'll get it someday but I'm happy to wait for the price to come down now that I've found III going cheap. A couple of days ago III and IV were going for the same price so I was beginning to think I'd jump straight to IV, but I'm going to get to play through them all now hopefully.

Saying all this tentatively though cos I've never used the retailer I've ordered v2 and III from, and allowing for the possibility that the deal was too good to be true. Find out later this week I guess when delivery is due...

So basically, Sniper Elite v2 put the series on the map. Like, that's when the series went HD and became more modernized. v2 was very highly acclaimed. Sniper Elite 3 then pushed the franchise forward by making maps more open, greatly improving the character models and perfecting mechanics. But it took place in Africa, so you get a lot of desert. Sniper Elite 4 is like the perfection and refinement of the formula. It's so good. Dont get me wrong, I love 3 to death also, but 4 is better. More varied terrain as it takes place in Italy, better missions, larger arsenal of takedowns and ways to set traps, more environmental focus... it's one of those games that took something great (Sniper Elite 3) and improved on it in every way, even if marginal in many areas. When evaluated in totality, it's a noticeable improvement.

One of the biggest things I like about 4 is how it handles blown cover and suspicious enemies. In the previous games it gave a warning radius you had to get away from. But in 4 it kinda just leaves you to it, to figure it out for yourself. The map turns yellow or red depending on if enemies are suspicious or you've been sighted, and your last known location leaves a ghost, similar to Splinter Cell Blacklist, if you've played that game.

I'd say enjoy v2 for more simple, linear progression in less interesting environments, but with really fun sniping still. Enjoy 3 for a more modern Sniper Elite experience, with more open maps and refined mechanics. But play 4 for the real deal. The pinnacle of the franchise (at least, until 5 inevitably releases).

Also, if you enjoy the series, might also want to check out Zombie Army Trilogy. Kinda how Call of Duty Black Ops has Zombies mode, it's like that but for Sniper Elite. It packages all 3 into a single game. Still has gyro aiming and all that. But Zombie Army 4 is where it's at. Still waiting on that one to come to Switch though. I'm sure it will. They've brought literally everything else.

If Bethesda's statement about DOOM Eternal is accurate we'll be getting lots more info on the Switch version tomorrow given tomorrow is the last day of the month (Tuesday is December 1st).
