I just got drift again for my third or fourth time on my launch Switch. I rotate the joycons and have replaced a pair but I always get drift. They should just make them to be modular & pack in an extra analogue stic oR Something. I've been charged twice for this shoddy crap joycon. Have sent in joycons over 6 times
Time for Nintendo to drip feed this bad boy for €50-60 a pop. Much better to do that than release all 3 for €60. Now that they know Metroid can do numbers after Dread time to release them all slowly until Prime 4 comes out.
I wish they would allow other players on secondary consoles access to the main account holders games. It seriously sucks because if my partner wants to use the Switch Lite, she can only play physical titles or has to play on my profile. Or I make that the primary but then ahe can't play other titlea I have on the larger memory card on the main model
@Patendo the flatness of the joycons straight broke my hands and felt like I had arthritis after 2 years of using the standard setup. So happy for the split pad pro, it made handheld much more feasible for me
Honestly don't think reselling will be such a big issue, you can still get the SwSh Switch Lite at the store and they have it for sale at GameStops all over the place. So I cancelled my preordee for this just like the Monser Hunter edition. Will save for the next iteration of the Switch
I'm gonna get Mario Kart 9 Deluxe on Switch 2 when it launches in 2026, we all know MK9 will be a late Switch 1 game with a season pass so may as well wait a few years for the Deluxe bundle
I know that Miyamoto and Nintendo had to just go through so many blunts with the actors hired for this movie 😂 they honestly picked some of the funniest, best potheads in the industry & I cannot WAIT to see them together in this movie. Not that I'm encouraging that to anyone, this is a family friendly site. Just stoked for the cast & crew, really excited to see what they make together!
@CasualNintendonite yeah same, I have the limited edition for Sword & Shield and have the limited edition coming for Pearl & Diamond. I'll try to pick up Monster Crown which seems to target the adult demographic a bit better, but it won't be the same. Hope they release a Pokemon with Red as an adult with some strong base Pokemon that takes place 20-30 years after the first game & doesn't hold your hand too much
This controller is probably the best Switch accessory I have. I received it earlier last week & was finally able to get Captain Falcon into Elite Smash using it. The muscle memory from when I was a kid came rushing back. I've been trying to get Captain Falcon to Elite smash for nearly 3 years, taking him up every couple of months with my pro controller and giving up. I can happily say I took him from 4.5 million GSP to 9.6 million in less than 7 days. Super happy with this controller purchase, perfect for SSBU and even a few shmups
Why they acting like kids play this game? We all know its for 20-60 year olds that have been grinding these games for 20+ years with like 2% little kids playing. Let's not be ashamed here guys & gals and put some of those Pokemon dad's and mom's in there 30s and 40s playing this
This was a great time, after watching the reveal a bought a little bit of Nintendo stock & when I sold it 3 years later, that had paid off 3 years worth of games and the console. Truly believed it had enormous potential even when I had a Wii U at the time.
12 is right about that barrier for me, can beat those type of games in a week which I consider the Maximum of short. Anything below is a short game, medium for me is 12-25 and beyond that are longer games that push that 30 hour threshold. RPGs would be different though.. short RPG would be under 30 hours, medium 30-60, with 60+ being those epics that deserve the time.
@NotoriousWhiz you can plug it into an RGB cable or buy a converter if you want a certain aspect ration. So in our case he plugged the red yellow white cables in a certain order to Red Green Blue.
@Screen you can pick up a Nintendo 64 in fairly good condition for around €70-90. Extra controller is about €15-20. Games range between €10-50. Not saying it's super cost effective to recreate the library they are offering but for less than €200 you could get a nice selection of games & original hardware and own them for a reasonable price instead of rental. My buddy and I just picked one up for those prices 2 weeks ago and were playing WCW vs nWo World Tour and Mario kart for under €120 an hour later (N64, extra controller, 3 games). Plus I got Golden Eye for €25 hehe.
It's a rip off. I have paid $60 for 3 years so far & only use online for SSBU. I have played some of the NES SNES stuff, probably 15 hours total. So to ask me to pay $150 for another 3 years in crazy, especially when it doesn't translate into substantially morr games. For $180 for 3 years on Xbox or PS Plus you'd get rougly 108-180 games (3-5 games per month) plus a ton of discounts on other select games / early access. Whereas here I'd get to own no games, they're all over 20 years old and I'd get some DLC I could get for $25. It's a rip off, will maybe consider it 2-3 years from now when they have added substantially more titles
@NintenGuy honestly most people here with an OG Switch should put their money toward a real OLED TV instead. Then all games they have will benefit & next gen games will look like cash money
Can you guys allow cursing for this comment section just for today? Have ad it up to here with Nintendo for scamming us with Switch taxes for games, rarely discounting first & 3rd party, making us repurchase eShop titles from previous generations, hardly upgrading ports & hardware updates, and not improving online multiplayer connectivity or having voice chat. But then again, I enjoy playing in handheld mode...
Triple the price for some great games ehhhh. Hard pass for now. Will consider some monthly options if possible. But c'mon, this is GREAT for profits that eill lead to tens of millions of dollars. Hooe they add Gamecube and Wii games for that price
If the emulators have existed before this release, then not really groundbreaking news. I'm sure this article will only help increase the amount of people emulating, not that it's really a problem as Nintendo is making absolute cash money & those that want to pay likely have
