(although it’s also been the Steam Deck a lot lately)

    Is the Switch doing a good job? Drift issues run rampant and Nintendo never fixed it. For all we know, they might use it on the Switch 2 as well. Between pricey games, drift, and their shitty approach with ROMs and enthusiasts I’ve soured on Nintendo.

      Thank god I managed to get an older version of the switch that could be jailbroken by shorting the right joycon slot. Best thing I did to mine. Too bad the drift happens to every fucking left joycon i have.

        The actual stick is pretty easy and cheap to replace, you can get a kit on amazon for 2 sticks under $20.

          cries in USD-BRL conversion

          What really annoys me is that the screws are 3 pronged instead of 4 and they also feel stuck as fuck.

          The real irony is that I bought some chinese knockoff that actually lasted longer than the fucking originals. Oh, both originals also stopped registering the tiny L-R buttons. Way to go, Nintendo.

      I’d say they’re doing a good job by virtue of popularity.

      It’s far from the best metric, but a lot of people have bought them and been happy enough.

      And they do a great job with the transitioning between docked and mobile setups, which is also key.
