Sent my 2 joycons in because both sticks were acting like they lost their deadzone and were tracking on the games like they were moving down instead of being centered

Label on 9
Shipped on 11
Received on 15
Sent back on 17

So probably Wednesday 22 before I get them back. Thankfully it only has to go to new York, so not too far

I got it back on the 21st, and while the paperwork says they "fixed it" what they actually did was just swap out the controllers. I know because they look new, but also one of the controllers was dropped at one point and had a crack in it. These don't.

Kind of wasteful if you ask me. It's also weird to me that they started getting drift within 100-150 hours. I don't use my OG switch in handheld mode much, since the graphics look like butt on most games, so they never got smushed into my bag or whatever since they're docked almost all the time.

If it makes you feel better, the ones you got are probably another pair sent in for repairs by somebody else earlier. It makes sense to not have the customers wait for their particular units to get fixed but instead send them back a refurbished pair right away. They can then take their time fixing your original ones whenever their workflow allows and somebody else will get them as a replacement.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Might be a new version, I see some games get like 8 "new" releases in a year due to advertising a different version. Looking at you, GB-graphics Stardew knockoff that's always two bucks.

e: lmao it's so blatant. Definitive, Special, and Premium versions are currently unavailable, but you can get the Deluxe, Extended, Ultimate, and Complete editions still...!

I’m playing Katamari and I cannot grok the controls. I thought it made sense in the tutorial but in practice I can move forward and turn to the right. Am I stupid or is this control scheme a challenge to figure out? It seems so simple on paper…

Most people into FPS are gonna opt for the consoles known for the genre but switch FPS nuts do exist in some quantity

What I would love is both Black ops 3 zombie addition and master chief collection to come to the switch. Because I love zombies mode, and I want to play through the halo single player stuff on the Switch. I don't give a poo poo about FPS against others now that there's Fortnite though.

It's a little wonkier with offset sticks like the Switch or Xbox (and some bonus wonkiness for the little bitty Joy-Con sticks) but basic movement should still be fine if you're doing it right. Running through the tutorial again is usually helpful if it didn't click the first time.

The only thing I'd expect to be consistently challenging is a charge roll in handheld mode. That borders on challenging with any non-PlayStation controller, and then having a whole system between your two hands doesn't help any.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

One Katamari tip I only recently learned is when you try and do the dash, keep alternating your sticks up and down even after the ball has started spinning. Don't stop until you're moving forward.

I have no idea why I only figured this out last month, despite having played Katamari games for a decade and a half, on and off. I'd always stop moving the sticks when it'd be spinning up, and sometimes that would work, sometimes it wouldn't, and other times, it'd be some pathetic half-dash.

Edit: thinking of it now, it might be from every tutorial marking off that you did the dash the moment after you flick the sticks up and down, rather than after you're ACTUALLY dashing.

They interact a bit more, and there are paired quests according to reviews:

“NintendoLife” posted:

Most importantly, characters can now participate in Crossed Paths storylines, where certain party members will join up for extended side storylines that add more depth to their backstories while giving us plenty of time to see how their personalities play off each other directly. These Crossed Paths are written in a similar way to the main quests and often take a few chapters for each storyline to resolve, which has the double effect of giving you more content to see beyond each character’s main questline while also letting you see party members directly interacting and working together to achieve a common goal.

it bugged me so much in octopath that your character functionally became a silent protagonist the moment you stepped away from their dedicated quest.

Stopped at Walmart to pick up an ingredient I needed for dinner and they had the slot on the shelf for Metroid Prime but no copies loaded into it. Here's hoping they just weren't put out yet.

Not really concerned about missing out or anything, I just know people can get dumb with the first wave.

I got a split pad pro. It's pretty neat, definitely a lot more comfortable to hold the switch with it. I just wish it had any kind of rumble at all. I get they want to keep the price down, but I feel like there could be another price point with gyro/rumble.
