Been playing online multiplayer with some mates on Mario Maker 2 (and we chat on a group whatsapp). The most fun in gaming i've had since my Tekken Tag competitive play way back in the arcades!
We absolutely have no clue. Nintendo reveals new models really close to its sale date, I think it said no new model at the previous E3 then few months later it started selling the new Switch with better battery and the Switch Light. But it will probably announce early the successor of the Switch, likely in few years since it said not long ago the Switch was in the middle of its cycle.I know this has been talked about a bit but I'm planning on getting a switch near September- that's not a waste of money with a new model around the corner in 2021 is there?
Nintendo will milk this hardware even if it's underpowered compared to 'competitors'. I know Nintendo doesn't necessarily try to compete with Sony/Microsoft and does their own thing, but they do of course need the hardware to remain somewhat capable if they're going to keep getting third party support for newer games. I'd expect this to dwindle by the Switch is five years old and it won't be possible to get certain third party games anymore (unless company's continue to make PS4/XBO versions of their game for more than 1-2 years). Nintendo has to hope that because there is probably going to be 70m+ Switch consoles sold by the end of this financial year, third party developers will want to at least try to make a Switch version or even make some exclusive Switch titles.I know this has been talked about a bit but I'm planning on getting a switch near September- that's not a waste of money with a new model around the corner in 2021 is there?
Just ordered this. £35 from Currys. Smashing through the exclusives at the moment.I enjoyed Luigi's Mansion 3.
Looking at the store it seems Nintendo are content remastering or porting older games. Offering the option to play certain games on the go in an attractive proposition for gamers.Nintendo will milk this hardware even if it's underpowered compared to 'competitors'.

I fully expect the Nintendo Switch in its current iteration to have a 7-8 year lifespan. It will be more like the Wii & 3/DS lines as even when there is talk of a new console, I think this would be supported continually and die a very slow death. If you buy a Switch this year you'll definitely get three years out of it IMO, so don't worry about that. Depending on the games you like, in that time we'll see more Pokémon, Zelda Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, more Mario, maybe even a Mario Kart 9, and plenty of other quality first party titles.
Mario.Just ordered Super Mario Odyssey and Luigi's Mansion 3, both arriving tomorrow. Which to play first?
OK I'll start Luigi's Mansion tomorrow.Mario.
Always moaning about something.It's poor form there's no Metroid games available to play on the switch.
I usually prefer getting the official one because the build quality tends to be better than the cheaper ones. A lot of the cheaper ones don’t have rumble too.Is it worth getting the cheaper controllers or just paying full price for the official ones ?
It’s one of my favourite game series. I have a real urge to play through the Prime games. I’m hoping there’s a port to the Switch at some point.Always moaning about something.
Ah cheers. I didn't really want fork out the extra on the official ones but if build quality is better than it's worth it.I usually prefer getting the official one because the build quality tends to be better than the cheaper ones. A lot of the cheaper ones don’t have rumble too.
I’ve got the pro controller and it’s very good, well worth the added extra bit of money.Ah cheers. I didn't really want fork out the extra on the official ones but if build quality is better than it's worth it.
Also got the pro controller and very impressed, very comfortable and sleek but the thing that’s stood out the most is the battery life which lasts for ages. I’ve never charged mine and had my switch for like a month, still over 50% battery.Ah cheers.

Thanks. Yeah I made the mistake of getting non official pro controller and it plays like a turd. So I'm worried about doing the same again now that the joy cons have given up.Also got the pro controller and very impressed, very comfortable and sleek but the thing that’s stood out the most is the battery life which lasts for ages.

I’ve just got my joy cons back after using Nintendo’s repair service as mine had serious drift. Have you looked into sending them off?Thanks.

Ah one of my joy cons had serious drift issues for ages but sadly I didn't know about the Nintendo repair service(Until right now!) and my own personal repairs of sending it across the living room and turning it into a millions pieces hasn't proved it's health.I’ve just got my joy cons back after using Nintendo’s repair service as mine had serious drift.

These are half the price of the official ones and have great reviews (check out some vids on Youtube). They have gyro and rumble as well.Is it worth getting the cheaper controllers or just paying full price for the official ones ?
The pro controllers have the same drift problem as the joy cons eventually.Ah cheers. I didn't really want fork out the extra on the official ones but if build quality is better than it's worth it.
Cheers will have a look into this.These are half the price of the official ones and have great reviews (check out some vids on Youtube). They have gyro and rumble as well.

I'll be grabbing a pair so we can have 4 player Mario Kart.
I know feck all about gaming, does this happen to any gaming controller ?The pro controllers have the same drift problem as the joy cons eventually.
I got an 8bitdo sn30 pro+ as it works with my laptop and android too. It's a great switch controller.Is it worth getting the cheaper controllers or just paying full price for the official ones ?
I think most Switch controllers work with a computer as well. It's using Bluetooth after all. You can connect to your smartphone too, but that probably has limited functionality.I got an 8bitdo sn30 pro+ as it works with my laptop and android too. It's a great switch controller.
No, Nintendo made the Pro controller to be Switch only. Steam unofficially added it to supported controllers, but anything non-steam, you'd need to get an adaptor.I think most Switch controllers work with a computer as well.

I've controlled Netflix on my laptop with mine though.No, Nintendo made the Pro controller to be Switch only. Steam unofficially added it to supported controllers, but anything non-steam, you'd need to get an adaptor.
I've got one arriving later so I'll give you a first hand review.Cheers will have a look into this.

I read a few things that suggested you couldn't do that kind of thing with it. So rather than spend the extra £25, I went with the one that definitely could.I've controlled Netflix on my laptop with mine though.
It isn't great to be fair. Mostly because desktop apps aren't designed for controllers but also because it was a bit annoying connecting it to the Switch again for some reason.I read a few things that suggested you couldn't do that kind of thing with it.

Yes I love this controller. Reminds me of the PS4 controller.I got an 8bitdo sn30 pro+ as it works with my laptop and android too. It's a great switch controller.

Yeah, best of that plus a snes aesthetic. Really nice controller.Yes I love this controller. Reminds me of the PS4 controller.
Happens to Elite controller, which is one of the most expensive controllers around. The standard Xbox and PS4 controller can get it too. So can happen to any controller, but the latter two controllers it more happened after long use rather than in the first year.Cheers will have a look into this.
