I have a Switch Lite but only because I dont get much TV time. Either the kids are on it playing a game or watching TV since this pandemic started. Otherwise I would use the tv far more.
@mazzel That was my thoughts exactly. You can't test something opened like that and expect the same high temperatures. I'm more reluctant to believe that's actually the problem just from this video.
Do what you want to your own system in private but the second you start profiting off of tools to hack and potentially pirate software then you stepped over that line.
@TheRedComet Oh trust me, the pro controller has issues as well. Thankfully compressed air actually works for my problems with drift. I've had to open it up twice now to get the air inside better. I know of a few others that have complained about dirft on their's but they had to buy a new one.
Game looks interesting. will wait for reviews. I miss Ace Combat and this looks like a slower version of that. Not sure if it's the video or not but the games frame rate doesn't look good.
I would actually watch that. It looks entertaining and well done. Would be cool if they could continue this at a real studio and do a 13 or 26 episode run.
@Zyph The difference with this is it's a known problem and proven that the graphite chips away over time. In some cases this happens in a month or 2 and others perhaps more then a year. I've replaced no less then 9 sticks since the Switch came out. Most were over longer periods of time for me but why should I just accept it and not hold Nintendo responsible? I understand normal wear and tear but this is anything but normal.
I have now opened my pro controller twice to clean that out and so far that works with compressed air so I have no complaints there but I hear that's an issue for many too.
@BeautyandtheBeer @nessisonett When it was first announced to go multiplatform Nintendo did tweet out that news so if anything perhaps they have to make it work. I even said I wouldn't care if it was a direct port from the PS3 version. It would still be the best Baseball games on the system.
Who knows where the industry would be now if Nintendo and Sony never had a fall out?! I like to think things are better now for it as Nintendo could've continued their dominance if not for the fall out.
I picked it up but not till about 3 months later on sale. Besides I wasn't playing it till they patched some of the issues out. I really did enjoy it once I started. Only the clock tower stage for the most part ran awful.
Why is there not a review yet? I know this site can't review every single game since there so many but I figured you would do the slightly higher quality games?!
The last golf game I played was Mario Golf on the 3ds. That's not counting Golf Story mind you. The last sim golf game I played was Tiger Woods on the Wii. It feels far too long since I've played a real golf game. If only Nintendo would bring Mario Golf to the Switch I would be there day one. Some of my favorite gaming moments were on the N64 and Cube version. I really wish they would go back to that for a future game......
@TheFox You're entitled to your opinion even in this day and age. I happen to agree with you. $70 is a fair price for a big budget AAA game that doesn't end in less then 10 hours. If it does end in less then 10 hours it better have a lot of replay value. I also agree that Link's Awakening is not worth $60. $50 at best. It's a fine game but it's over way too fast.

This game would truly benefit from a demo.

Re: Poll: What Was The Best Switch Launch Game (That Wasn't Zelda: Breath Of The Wild)?
Take Zelda out and it looks like Microsoft's launch line up this year!😉
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #64 - International Superstar Soccer 98
It's only fitting to vote for Europe since they love the sport so much. Oh and their cover is just so much better.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo 64 Games
In before someone says DK64 is far too low. The game is an 8 at best, deal with it!😝

I didn't realize this was turn based. This game now has my attention!

Can we vote to just burn the box with the game in it??😁
Re: Poll: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
Got it yesterday actually. First time ever getting a game early.
Re: Action Combat Flight Sim Air Missions: Hind Is Blasting Onto Switch Today

Re: Random: Check Out This Amazing "Skyview Temple" Custom Dungeon For Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
This is definitely a gray area they may want to avoid especially with Nintendo coming down hard on sites in the last few years.

Re: CIRCLE Entertainment Kicks Off Autumn Switch Sale, Get Up To 85% Off Select Games
Anything worth getting there? I owned a good deal of their games on the 3ds and enjoyed most but dont have a single game of theirs on the Switch.
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About 'Limited-Time' Games From Nintendo?
I think it's pointless and stupid to be honest. It's like saying we only want to sell between 10 to 20 million copies but no more. We hate more money.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Getting A Deluxe 'Treasure Box' Edition In Japan
I jumped on the Master Edition for BotW. Only Zelda can make me spend more money in that way.

Re: Video: Genshin Impact Gets A New Story Trailer Ahead On September Multiformat Debut
At first I did think it was a BotW RIP off but then realized so what if it is. This game does look really good and I'm interested in reviews for this.
Re: Koji Igarashi Explains How Zelda Influenced His Work On Castlevania And Bloodstained
@nessisonett Zelda 2 remake needs to happen! It needs it the most even though I still really like the game.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #57 - Shadow Of The Ninja / Blue Shadow
That was the hardest choice for me out of all of these. While none are great they all are good enough.

Re: Review: PGA Tour 2K21 - A Good Starting Point For Golf Fans On Switch
Saw Gamexplain playing this and it just feels too lifeless to me. Not sure if crowds would even help.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition - A Weak RPG Enlivened By Nostalgia
Huge FF fan but this has never interested me. I like my single player games far more and not being able to play locally is a big no no!
Re: Award-Winning Puzzler Manifold Garden Gets A Surprise Launch On Switch
This game looks too much like Ori to me and that game was just alright in my book. Too many trial and error segments that I just assume forget.
Re: Ring Fit Adventure Is Getting Its Own Direct In China Tomorrow
Sure why not, sell it to a billion people!😝
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night On Switch Had Biggest Response, Sales Were "Well Above" Expectations
I picked it up but not till about 3 months later on sale. Besides I wasn't playing it till they patched some of the issues out. I really did enjoy it once I started. Only the clock tower stage for the most part ran awful.
Re: Upcoming Fantasy Battle Royale Spellbreak Gets Another Set Of New Screenshots
@Cevil They dont look all that different then BotW to me. Nearly the same art style. No reason why it shouldn't look good to me.

Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Transformed Into Stunning Studio Ghibli-Inspired Poster
Zelda looks fine but Link looks all kinds of wrong there!
Re: First-Person Horror Paratopic Brings Its Spooky PlayStation-Style Graphics To Switch
Hasn't anyone noticed that the Playstation art style hasn't aged well?? Those were some ugly 3d graphics!
Re: Poll: So, What Was Nintendo's Best Year Ever?
Nothing beats BotW, Odyssey, and Splatoon 2 for me. So many good games that year!
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Fireworks Show - Event Date, Start Time, Redd's Raffle Items List And Custom Fireworks Explained

Re: Earthlock 2 Might Not Make It To Nintendo Switch, It Seems
Bought the first a while back probably on the last sale. Still haven't started it yet but the second one looks promising.
Re: Poll: No, Really, What Was Nintendo's Worst Year?
The last year of the Wii was pretty bad. The transition between consoles seemed like it took forever.
