@twztid13 same here! I literally have wobbly in 64 analog sticks, that never drift or malfunctioned they're dead zone is a little bit wobbly, but they function better than a drifting switch stick! And they are 20 years old!
This is such utter BS! All my controllers with analog sticks from the past work fine except for the switch sticks! Heck go back to an older design if necessary Nintendo, but stop selling the garbage analog sticks!
@TheWingedAvenger I hear what your saying... But I don't think they will be failures... ( Compared to previous gen maybe yes) but it looks more and more like the future is I phone style progressive refreshes.
I wonder how the C buttons are mapped, are they mapped to the second analog stick as just full stick in whichever direction? I love that the NES and super NES controllers are compatible with any random game on switch of course if it has enough buttons for that particular game, but I'm such a dork I would want the Nintendo 64 controller to work with regular switch games as well.
I've been playing lots of different games with the GameCube controller recently with the 8-Bitdo wireless adapter deal that lets any of the Wii U Wii / nunchuck plug controls or original GameCube controllers.
@Heavyarms55 I'm a gamer and movie guy that loves spatial audio, DD 5.1 and now my Dolby Atmos 5.2.4 setup is amazing. There is some audio demos out there that can easily be turned into games if somebody would do it, it's a really weird feeling to be hearing objects fly around the room in a well-built Dolby Atmos set up with sound absorption on the walls. I think it could be done but I don't know if it would be something that could be turned into like a full featured game more like a mini game.
I'm not sure I would be able to play video games if I went blind. It's gotta be very frustrating.
@DDFawfulGuy yeah I was really happy that animal crosses and kept the large text, yeah it may look a little funny on a 92 inch projection screen but damned if I can't read it on any size device LOL.
@ToniPSB Yes. Good info to share. I don't think the comments early in the thread were meant to be mean... But it's a little too dark of humor for this setting...
I seriously think that in high school they need to have a class that has older folks come in that have hearing and site disabilities and whatever other kind of disabilities they can come up with, so people can at least understand the disability and how to interact with them.
I learned a long time ago the best way to interact with somebody that has a disability is to interact with them exactly how you interact with other people at first.
Then let them communicate to me what I need to do to make it easier for them. Otherwise I will do the wrong thing and be condescending and treating them like an idiot basically.
We have two different family friends that have childs with severely limiting mental issues. And yeah they may not be "Smart" like a normal person, but they can sense when they're being talked about or talked over. It's common courtesy and should be taught to talk directly to the disabled person, their caregiver is there and will hear what they need to hear. But it makes the disabled person feel a whole lot better being talked to, instead of being talked around or about. They just don't have the ability to respond in kind. But I know they appreciate it deep down inside.
Having a lot more RAM would go a long way at making the switch look a lot better on several games also I love your idea of adding actual SSD speeds to the internal storage even with the same exact graphics and processor speed that would make a huge difference but of course they would update the other stuff too...
I use it for my retro gaming after the retrotink 2x.
The reason I specifically use it is to bump the 480p up to 1080p so that my projector displays the image without lag as my projector with a 480p input adds significant lag.
Does an amazing job too on N64 games.
I did not see any reason to use it with the gamecube or the switch though.
@Deviant-Dork Yo... Blindness, deafness, and verbal issues ( unable to speak properly) it's more often than not a varying degree of disability. It's not a binary either on or off type situation for most folks. I have one friend that is legally blind. She cannot drive, as she would probably hit curves and such too often, and it's unsafe, but she can recognize faces and people and see enough to get around by foot.
I have another friend that is partially deaf. She uses hearing aids and is only in her late twenties... She can converse with people just fine by phone and in person as long as there is not a lot of background noise, like a restaurant is practically impossible.
Myself I use the zoom function quite often as the game developers like to make text impossibly small. Never had this problem with old CRT games as they had to display stuff big enough, but now there is microscopic text in almost every game. Also when I play games like Hyrule warriors they need more map option sizes as the heads up map is just too darn small. Ugggg.
Also I really wish they would do screen readers and such more often.
@avictorao yes especially the cluster that is game sharing between devices it should be simple and transparent, that's why I probably will never own more than one switch at a time.
@avictorao Bingo! Your spot on, all my complaints rolled into one post, the only other thing that really bothers me is the build quality of the switch, it's horrible.
@YusseiWarrior3000 I'm my opinion, it's terrible, the forced control and dual screen gimmick turned me off bad... A "new way to play" it's not always a good/fun way to play. Forcing the issue was a fatal mistake. Also, they need a new story and a reboot of sorts.

Re: Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Need Some Work
@nessisonett I second the upscaling. It's really good. Mario 64 is very clean and cheese looking.
I think Nintendo may tighten up some of the lag issues and such. But... It should be noted, N64 was a bit laggy on many games to begin with.

It's a no for me... I still don't like the perversion this franchise has.
