Oh cool, good to know that Nintendo designed their device so that your warranty is voided if you replace a part that degrades and actually should be replaced over time.

Yes, that nefarious Nintendo, always looking to nickel and dime the little guy, unlike any other hardware manufacturer on earth

True, but why couldn't it be user replaceable like the Wii U Gamepad and 3DS?


Short version is, electronics are designed with heat dissipation in mind. If the optimal way to keep heated elements separated is through the use of ribbon cables, the manufacturer is not going to be ok with allowing consumers to tinker with it, because they have this bad habit of loving up ribbon cables and then blaming the manufacturer.

e: As Dr. Cheeto said above, the only way to circumvent this is by giving the electronics more space (making it bulkier) or using more elaborate heat-sinking methods (making it more expensive)

So I have yet to actually play with the Joycons detached so far (pro controller 100% in docked mode)

Decided to try it tonight... the right joy con works fine 100% of the time. The left joycon cuts out if it's behind my back.

I guess my left joycon is hosed up? And Nintendo is replacing or repairing them now?

There's an easy fix if you're handy with a screwdriver and a soldering iron, or you can call their customer service and have it turned around for free in about 5-6 days

Out of all of them, I think Splashdown is the JAM. The fact you can do it during a super jump to do a great surprise kill is wonderful.

Yeah, at first I thought it looked worthless (cause to get that close in most situations you'd already be dead), but it's a wonderful balance to the jump indicators

How moron proof is this? I had to have other people put stickers on my legos when I was younger. I am that bad at this poo poo.

Very. They give you 2 in case you gently caress up

Also, use the sticker hinge that comes with it, it's amazing. Don't be too anal about getting it exactly right -- the glass is slightly smaller than the screen, so if you try to align it with a corner it will be slightly askew of center, but it'll still cover all the important bits while leaving the speakers/sensors free

I honestly prefer gyro cursor to the sensor bar cursor, though my sensor bar has been absolute poo poo lately. I don't know if it's picking up lights off my router, a reflection, or I'm just too far from my TV, but I haven't been able to play a Wii game in forever

Mostly talking about Tomorrow Corp games

I like how my hands don't have to be directly facing the screen

Use your phone to look at the sensor bar with all other lights off. You can see the infrared, along with anything that it might be bouncing off of.

Emulation of a system that has been out for less than a month is pretty lovely, primarily because people aren't doing it for any reason other than to stick it to Nintendo somehow. Like, based on what I see online, there are people who want to spend literally hundreds of hours playing Nintendo exclusives while jacking themselves off to the thought that they didn't pay for any of them out of spite. Emulation of a system in 2017 is way less about randoms learning system infrastructure for homebrew and more about trying to get in on fandom discussion about how Breath of the Wild is just okay and not reeeeally worth $60 that they totally spent. Emulation as a concept is not a bad thing, but emulation as an execution is a piracy gateway for the extreme majority of people. When someone says they have an emulator, they're not saying "I have a PC program that simulates a system." They're saying "I downloaded Wind Waker and modded it with Dolphin, so I don't have to buy the HD one."

Nah they're just shitheads who wanna play free games and give lovely post-hoc justification for not paying for the game after they've already experienced it for free

Cardboard Box posted:

its not really effortless, the pro controller is only directinput so you have to go through the hoop of using something like xpadder to get it to work with most modern games, and even then there's drawbacks. i personally think the switch pro controller d-pad is kind of bad and imprecise--while playing zelda i had more than one moment where i would press right to access my weapons and it would read it as me pressing up. i don't know why they made it so you can press the whole thing down.

Same thing happens to me every so often. At first I chalked it up to getting used to the controller but it's an ongoing problem even a month later.
