    While not the 1st household Nintendo product the switch was the 1st device that I bought for me I think imdone with Nintendo. I’m not interested in another device that will likely try to drop me in the hole close to £100 to keep playing the games I already own.

    My wife bought me bayonetta3 which is where she drier. Kicked in for me. I would play the new zelda game but the new controller cost doubles the price and there isn’t enough games for me yo sink that cost again

      What in the fuck are you talking about? Who charged you $100 brexitpence to keep playing games you already own?

      And why do you need a special controller to play either Zelda? They work fine with the controllers you already own.

        Controller drift. Require new ones. They are expensive as hell. There for to enjoy new games I need to buy the game and new controllers.

        I tried the replacement because of the class action suit but because I no longer have the receipt they won’t accept replacement

        By the way brexit wasn’t my idea I hate those fuckers

        Edit for context I’m still using xbox 360 controllers with my pc

          I had the same problem. Never noticed the drift until tears of the kingdom and then it made the game nearly unplayable. Decided to buy a pro controller only to discover it sold out nearly everywhere with many being sold online for scalper prices.

          However, once I found one it was a game changer. The thing fits very well in my hands and works well. I don’t regret buying it, but will be pissed if it does not work with the next console.

          Joystick drift can be fixed at home with like 15 dollars worth of replacement parts lol

            It works so well I’ve done it several times! On the same joycons.
            Speaking seriously, DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN. Those ribbon cables are super brittle.

              I’d recommend that you get these ones, but you can pick them up plenty of places that aren’t Amazon too, just make certain you get the ones made by Gulikit, any others are probably as cheap as your originals and you’ll have to come back and replace them again in short order. The Gulikit ones use Hall Effect sensing rather than resistive contact pads that will eventually scrape down and break.

              That kit at Amazon comes with all the tools to do the job and as the sticks are Hall Effect based, they’ll theoretically never drift unlike the ones that ship with Joy-Cons straight from Nintendo.

              iFixIt has the process for doing the work: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Left+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113182 and https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Right+Joy-Con+Joystick+Replacement/113185

              I have gotten two sets of drifting Joycons replaced for free. If you are in the US make sure to check out their support page.

                I tried that but the form wanted copies of receipts which I have long since lost (not in the us)
