Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@Owl1 let hope Nintendo Switch sucessor controller use Hall effect joystick to prevent the dreadful Joy-Con drift for happening again.

It'll be interesting to see what comes out of the annual general shareholders meeting on June 23rd. Last year we got this:

@Grumblevolcano Nintendo to announce F Zero to that one die hard fan in person at General Meeting but has no plans to announce anything at this time. Please understand. Causing confusion amongst shareholders and everyone worldwide alike

My experience with the Switch OLED so far have pretty much confirmed my general previous thoughts on it. That if you have to replace your original Switch, it's better to go for the Switch OLED than to get another original Switch. But if you think your original Switch will last until Nintendo releases a more powerful Switch, it works out better to keep your original Switch.

The OLED screen is definitely better quality than the LCD screen on the original Switch and I prefer that the screen is bigger. Granted I've only tried MK8 Deluxe, Smash Ultimate and Theatrhythm with it so far but I can already very noticeably see the improvement with stuff like Rainbow Road, Northern Cave and the unlockable Crisis Core Reunion video.

I could see this difference in quality cause problems for Nintendo in the future if they chose to not have an OLED version of a more powerful Switch available at launch. Sony did officially reveal that rumoured Q remote play device in the Playstation Showcase though so the news about Sharp doing LCD screens for a new console could easily be for that instead of something Nintendo.

As for the other Switch OLED features. More internal storage is kind of whatever for me given I'm using a 1TB microSD card and can't say I noticed any difference in speaker quality compared to the original Switch. I do feel the OLED dock is better quality though.

I do hope that when it comes to a more powerful Switch that Nintendo does something to approach transfers better. I lost all my screenshots and videos and as I mentioned earlier, having to redownload all your games and DLC is extremely obnoxious. I felt the transfer process was much smoother between 3DS devices and from Wii to Wii U.

@Rambler that's awesome looking!

@Rambler
That’s cool, looks like some statue in an old temple. Now I kinda want Gamefreak to implement this type of thing.

The final MH Rise digital event is on June 7th.

E3 season is upon us.

@Magician where is the tradicional Nintendo Direct of june? eh Jeff Grubb?

I really dislike the joycons and they’ve gotten worse since we bought our first switch in 2019. Looking at buying a controller. But, I like what the pro controller offers. It works with iOS and Apple TV. Plus it works out of the box on my linux box.

For $70, is it worth the price tag? The inoperability alone makes me want to buy one.

@ZeldaFan83 It's one of the best controllers on the market and feels great in the hands.

Worth the price 100%

@Owl1 Awesome. Playing borderlands on joycons is pretty cumbersome. How’s the DPad?

@ZeldaFan83 a bit mushy but you learn to get used to it.

You know it's June when you search for an already existing Nintendo Direct and the search results come up with clickbait youtubers instead. I only wanted to go back to the February Direct and rewatch stuff like the Ghost Trick reveal.

Uh, so Nintendo is a bit crazy right now... Did not see that coming.

@Professor_Plumber I actually don’t mind a Twitter direct. I can just see what Nintendo posts and go “oh that’s cool” and log off again without reading the comments asking for a new Game And Watch game (for some reason, idk)

@Professor_Plumber nope, just the 1-2 switch thing

I’m sure the folks in the “next Nintendo direct” and in this thread will update you as well as Nintendo Life, so no need to worry

The things to remember, not everyone have interest with mainstream games like zelda or fortnite or FIFA or splatoon or etc, so whoever really pissed off by the announcement of Everybody 1-2-Switch , I can tell those peoples really hate niche games.

Be granted if Nintendo still keep making quirky games that cater the peoples who have interest with quirky gameplay.
Niche things is still have their audiences.
The games are garbage for certain peoples, the other peoples will consider them as hidden treasures.
When Nintendo stop making cute quirky games, Nintendo will be the next Microsoft 2.0 which they hate in making kids / quirky games.

Mario should have six pack in Mario Odyssey 2 or No Buy. 😆
