@IOI well, I agree that something so expensive should not break so easily or be made to be hard to fix. This really sucks! But I've just sent my 4 original Joy-Con bought back in 2017, with the Switch release in Europe, to Nintendo Support because the controllers, even supposedly charged, would not turn on and a couple of days later I did receive the controllers back fixed and free of charge.
They are answering with a lot of precaution, because if the EU understand that this actually is somehow against the consumer, the videogame companies must adapt, doesn't matter how much it will cost, otherwise they lose the European market, what would be the death of worldwide company.
THIS! I really hope they cancel the Zelda movie and go in this direction. Look at the Akira Himekawa's Mangas and you see that it is possible to bring the story, and expand it, in an excellent media other than a movie.
@liverpoolvk for sure, that is the main problem, until when! I am against digital and pro physical 100%, I was just pointing what they wrote there because some think that after the server's turn off date the games would be lost forever.
This is a very wrong way of thinking. Apple provides a platform for games, even Nintendo and Microsoft have their games there, so is like to summ up both companies + every other company that has a game on Apple platform. Of course they would make more money.
@mariomaster96 yes, but no. Since the only thing that matters for companies is the economic point of view, and UK is not in the European Union anymore, UK is not part of Europe anymore ¯(ツ)/¯
"I don’t think most people play it in both modes"... well, I only play this way, but who am I... this was not rhetorical, really who am I? Where am I? Heeeeeeelp!
Bought already two manuals from him and they are very well made. And for the people that are complaining about copyright infringement, yes, almost everything on Etsy goes on that. Deal with it.
When I know that I will not play it for a long time, I charge it until 100% and then let him out of the dock. Every week I take a look how much charge is still left. If it reaches 30% or less I put it again in the dock until 100% and repeat.
@Krull overcharging can also be a problem (ok not really overcharging since the battery is 'intelligent' and when it reachs 100% it stops charging) since all batteries have a limit of charging and discharging.
