The death rate among their employees must be through the roof. Oh wait, no one died? Shocker.

News flash: YOU ARE BEING LIED TO

@Marxally I just want Joy cons that work longer than 3 months.

Can confirm. I have 4. Hate the game sharing aspect of digital games. Switched back to carts.

@Harmonie I'm guessing putting this on sale after Christmas when a lot of people have gift cards is a smart move.

@Eddyson Well worth 40. Nowhere near as smooth as Zelda, but the voice acting is great - humor is as well. Will hold you over until BOTW 2.

@JohnBlackstar it is easy to miss good games as adults and more so as kids. Star Allies is an absolute riot in multiplayer. Consider telling them the next time they want to play that they can, but only game X (start with Star Allies). A lot of kids forget what they have. Doing this every now and then breathes new life into games we already own. We just went through a month long Mario Maker 2 adventure after making them play it one day.

I loved the voice acting. They need one for Link and need to do more of the lines. My kiddos really enjoy those parts.

@NintendoByNature savage

@Park_Triolo This is what we were arguing against: "The problem can't be that big"...

It is a huge problem, but like others have said, fixing them for free in and out of warranty must be cheaper.

@NEStalgia I was in the market for two Lite's, but ended up not getting them due to this problem still being present. Then I would be stuck sending my whole console in for repairs...

@Park_Triolo I manage 7 Switches for various family members and friends. More than 25 joy-cons between them. All but two have been sent back to Nintendo multiple times. The two that haven't been sent back? A 1 month old Switch.

I just sent off eight yesterday. E I G H T. These Switches are predominantly played by younger kids who have no clue why the cursor moves all over the screen or that Link keeps walking when nothing is being pressed. That is just part of the game to them. Nintendo has always replaced them for free - even out of warranty - but I wish there was a true solution. This year alone has seen me send off five repair orders for joy-cons.

I would have 1 regular and 2 lites right now, but the joy-con drift issue made me stick with the regular. Didn't want to send my whole console in every time drift popped up.

I would have bought a censored version. Lol... where’s the sweat?!

@rjejr how did you get the 25% back???

This is a 100% buy for me, but sad there is no physical version.

Every time one of these is posted I chime in with the same story:

I manage five, yes F I V E, Switches. About 20 joy-cons between them. All, yes A L L, have been sent back numerous times over the last three years. I've had four rounds of replacements in 2020 alone (not all were duplicates, but some were). This is a huge problem, but I'm guessing there is not a way to correct the problem without redesigning the controller or it would have already been corrected. I have 2017 remotes, the AC Switch remotes, Switch 2.0 remotes (the one with the better battery), and all have the same fate. All of the people who play are younger and all play Zelda. That is a game where drift shows how bad it makes gameplay. When Link starts walking through Hyrule when you are trying to be stealthy or setup for the perfect shot, it drives the player crazy. I can't tell you how many times I have went to someones house that has a Switch and they are actively playing with drift. Fortnite characters running sideways... How annoying. (I probably can tell you how many times... probably 5-10. lol)

If this game isn't open world like Zelda after all of this, I will be really sad.

@Bunkerneath People run into this issue A LOT. Probably good to have it showing up in search results by reposting. Good at catching traffic.

@Solaine I have 19 Joy-Cons between 4 Switches. You will not believe how many times they have been sent in. How is this problem not solved yet? What ever they fix them with makes matters worse. I normally send 4-5 to them every 3 months.

@abdias That will come out 2 days after your sub expires.

@frabbit My kids would argue with you on that.

@Khalic What sets? Did I miss something?

@Bon_Kurei send them in. They fix they for free. I’ve sent over a dozen in (I manage four switches for nieces and nephews.)

I bought bundles of these cards when I was going through BOTW. They would grant me hundreds of steaks and apples everyday. I’m guessing I have close to 100. Don’t know who they are or what series, but I think I paid $25 for them on the Bay in 2017 or 2018.

@RadioHedgeFund I’m a resident on my son’s island. You miss out on a lot of the creative nature of the game.

@BigBluePanda family member in video game industry - trust me, it does if the complaint is correct. Maybe not with the current game, but I guarantee the next AC doesn’t function like this.

@Heavyarms55 Glad to hear everyone recovered. Good news.

@Heavyarms55 what happened to those who tested positive? Hopefully, they recovered.

Cries in America.

I love how Nintendo pushes families to interact, but sometimes it comes back to bite them. It would have been way better to make this an option or make same-console islands connected via a bridge. Making everyone share an island was a cute idea, that doesn't work well in real life. My son - the island owner - has stuff everywhere and tells me not to touch anything. LOL

This game is all about selling stuff, buying stuff, and general business related ventures.... but yeah, totally makes sense that "partner" would mean that in this game. People really have too much time on their hands.

I really wanted to remap my NES controllers, so they are actually useful for a lot of games... Not allowed. Boo!

I didn't have this device, but I have one like it. Got it back in my Breath of the Wild days. I have way too many amiibo - WAY TOO MANY - and it really broke the portability of the Switch caring a bin of those things with me. Still have all of my amiibo, so it was more of a backup/convenience deal.

"RIP Fornite! RIP Fortnite! You see, nobody cares."

Where is the USA sale?

@riChchestM 1 box at a time? No.... this is Transporter > Bank all over again, but worse.

@Delibheel Both Ash. lol

@Kirby-in-Kirkby It is not as fragile as you would think. It is made remarkably sturdy.

I own all three sets. My kids absolutely love them. I urged my mom to buy one for my nephews who had just got a Switch. She was very reluctant. She didn't think it would be something they wanted. She caved and bought it. My nephews celebrated at Christmas like they won the Super Bowl when they saw Labo. I think there is a disconnect when it comes to buying "cardboard" with parents. My kids love playing Labo, building, and then using the gear for games like Mario Kart. I have a toddler who went from driving backwards on Mario Kart, to finishing in first place once they had the motorcycle Labo kit. They "fish" from the top of their bunkbed like it's a boat. The weird house thing? My daughter shows it to almost everyone that visits. I'll buy any set they release - my kids have had hours of fun with these things.

@Yorumi I hear you. Agree with pretty much everything you said.

For a 3-4 year old playing a game like Mario 3D World along with his older sister, Mom and Dad, who doesn't quite have the coordination/reaction time to defeat enemies, but wants to contribute at his level - the white leaf is great. I prefer the way Mario handles it - gives you the leaf after so many fails AND it is still optional to use. Both of my kids got into Mario using the leaf as a crutch from time to time and now hardly ever get to the point where it is offered. Even with the leaf, my son would find creative ways to use most of the lives in the group.

Yoshi WW on the other hand makes you decide which mode you want and ALL players must be in that mode. It's better than nothing, though I would like different players to have different options.

@Yorumi I had to say "yes" to that. Finding out if a game has an "easy mode" is big for me. White raccoon leaves and mellow mode (Yoshi's Wooly World) are all the rage with my young ones who are not up to the normal level of the game.

These look great. If I import this, will it play USA games?

I'm one of the few people with SMA4 with all e-reader levels installed. Those are some of the most fun levels I have ever played. The cartridge has been sitting around for years. I keep meaning to sell it, but never get around to it.
