  I mean yeah, I wouldn’t expect otherwise. Nobody hates their fans more than Nintendo does.

  Not surprising. Nintendo is turning into the Apple of the video game world.

  Part of the difficulty is that Nintendo have hitsquads that will blow your city if you even look sideways at one of the screw.

  All the more reason for me not to purchase it.

    After the initial excitement I think the Switch 2 is gonna bomb. Offers too little for too much.

      Maybe if it was 349 or 399… but 499 is wild

      Just yesterday I spent 3 hours faming MK8D on my PC. Cozy on my bed and a controller -+ a remote keyboard.
      Felt like the real deal.

    The guy doing the teardown recommended you wait until a third party company makes a drift proof module to replace the same as last version joystick decoders

  What’s the appeal of the switch for when PC handhelds exist ? I just don’t get it why you would buy this unless you had children. Nintendo Games are good but they’re really not that good either.

    Friends with Switchs to play Smash Bros and Mario Party. Occasional Nintendo game but everything else PC. It’s lighter than almost every PC handheld. The Ayaneo Air 1S is lighter but has a 5.5" display

    I have a PC handheld but they’re all too heavy in my opinion. The holy grail to me is a Steam Deck that’s about the same weight as a Switch 2 or lighter. 7" display

    I have children, like their first party titles, and dislike piracy. I also have a PC handheld that gets more use than the Switch, and I like both.

    From my friend, the main advantage the switch have is the UI for games is being design for handheld from the get go, so big, readable font and icon is by default already there and is made to fit. PC game tend to made for either a 24inch or so monitor or big tv for couch gaming, games that doesn’t have UI accessibility option on a handheld PC is unplayable for a lot of people.

    Also that damn controller can be split so coop is so accessible. Not to mention that first party games.

    People like playing Nintendo original games. Mario games, Zelda games, etc.

    The only way to legally play those is on the switch.

    Yes, even non children play those games.

    source

    • Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      You can legally play them on an ROG Ally or other Pc handheld . It is not illegal to emulate a game that you own.

      But I get that it’s just that I don’t think Nintendo games warrant buying an entire system anymore. If their consoles had more third party support maybe, but I just don’t see the value at the current price of the console.

    Mario. Zelda. Metroid. For a time the occasional Splatoon. Maybe a Wario once in a while too. Some Pikmin. Even the built-in (paid) list of emulator games are attractive.

    Also, you severely underestimate the convenience factor for a lot of people. Yeah, I have a Steam Deck, and 95% of the time, it’s a completely seamless experience. With consoles, it’s 100% of the time. People want a “I turn it on, I start a game”, not a “I turn it on, I might be able to start a game, and sometimes it needs a bit of fiddling, not much, but, more than zero. And sure, I could have this or that other thing by going there and running that, you know, sometimes”.

      with consoles, it’s 100% of the time

      Several Switch 1 games are facing issues on Switch 2, including broken textures, crashes and weird behavior. This whole “consoles are 100%!” idea has been dead since the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation.

    My Switch Lite is far more comfortable for me to play with than my Steam Deck. I know there are people who say that the Steam Deck is more comfortable and I believe them, but I get tired holding something big and heavy.

  Hope the drift issue is fixed. Ran into the issue with two of mine. The paper under the joystick hack didn’t work and one of the brand new replacement joysticks I installed isn’t responsive. 🙄

  • cowfodder@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Spoiler alert: it’s not. Same joysticks as last time.

    • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Are you fucking kidding? They didn’t switch to Hall Effect?

      source
  • Goretantath@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It’s not, and the joycons are even HARDER to repair due to a piece of plastic glued over a screw on the inside…

    source

    • psud@aussie.zone ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Thanks to 3d printing I have litres of isopropyl. What sucks is you probably want to replace the glue since it’s there to protect against liquids, and Nintendo don’t care to provide a seal kit

      You also need to remove stickers to get at the screws

      Also you need a security screwdriver (three blade) for those screws

      There are no replacement stickers, we wait for iFixit to provide guidance on adhesives

  I wonder if Nintendo will ever embrace repairability like some phone companies have

  I guess there’s more competition in phones than in devices that can run Mario Cart

  • pdqcp@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    If you consider how hostile they are with everything else, I highly doubt it. Nintendo never again

• Dave@lemmy.nz ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Haha when they did that blog post to change the switch from 8/10 to 4/10 saying they don’t normally do that but wanted to make sure you could compare the 2 properly against the original, I thought they were making space for the 2 to be above the original, not that they were going to mark it as worse 😅

  I honestly don’t care how difficult it is, only if it’s possible, if it’s cost-effective, and if there are any fucking corporate shenanigans that intentionally make it harder.

  • three@lemmy.zip ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I don’t care about the difficulty Nintendo better not have made it difficult

    uh

      I didn’t say that, you just made it up so I’m not sure what your point is.

    Can you think in the relationship of the two variables?

    That’s… What the repairability score is.

    source

    • Ulrich@feddit.org ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I wasn’t talking about the repairability score. I was talking about the title of this article stating that it’s “harder” to repair than the Switch 1.
