Joy-Con 2s will have the same Drifting problems that Joy-Con 1s have, and they're more expensive. They aren't at all expensive to make, but expensive to buy. Don't understand why.

From what I’ve heard they basically used the same potentiometer joystick that the original Joy-Con or one similar to it due to Joy-Con 2’s magnets (which prevented the use of Hall effect and TMR joysticks).

My two 3DS XLs can usually handle being in sleep mode for a few days but any longer than that is a crapshoot.

Switch 2 has problems running many Switch 1 games.

I tried playing Borderlands 3 because it has an uncapped framerate mode. It runs at 60 fps but with god awful screen tearing. There are definitely problems with backwards compatibility, which is really shitty, but at least the first party games run really well (I've been playing Echoes of Wisdom and it's been running flawlessly).

This is complete and utter bullshit and there is no excuse for it. The Pro 2 controller also cheaps out on the thumbsticks. By contrast, the much cheaper 8bitdo Ultimate has hall effect sticks and, with the most recent firmware update, works with the Switch 2.

Mine is pretty good and only on it's second battery since 2012. I think I had it on sleep mode for three days back then and it was fine. But your mileage may vary. Having the wifi turned on affects battery life. I also have the screen dimmed and on power save mode because I find it way too bright otherwise. Settings do play a role in power usage. Every time you streetpass you are using more power too.
 
I like what I’ve heard about the Switch 2, but I don’t know why you’d rush out and buy it here in this early stage with only one proper first party game released. Mario Kart is always good fun but not enough to sell me an entire system Day 1.

Also, any news on the performance of Monster Hunter GU/Rise?
 
I played like 4 or 5 hours of Mario Kart World last night. Did a few races and played open world. The open world makes me wish I was playing Burnout Paradise instead. I would be hearing Guns n Roses at least 500 times. Nintendo just learned it was a thing that exists. The open world is super small, I think I'm about halfway done with that part of the game.

Because I have a backlog of post-2021 Switch 1 games I want to play without the screen being a stuttering 360p mess.
 
God I hope there's a price drop on this thing solely to make the retards that bought it at $450-$500 seethe imeasurably.
But would it even be worth buying if that happens? Probably not, unless the first party Nintendrone titles are so amazing that it's worth not pirating. But I get a strange feeling that Nintendo can't and won't catch lightning in a bottle twice row.

edit: grammer

TotK just shouldn't exist. It should have been DLC as originally planned, and we should have a new, wholly original 3D Zelda for launch here (or by the end of the year at least).

Nintendo has mishandled Zelda and Mario in very Sega-esque ways, and I don't know how they're getting away with it because Wii U proved people have standards (or used to anyway, guess a lot can change in...13 years?!).

Is TotK not a full game? I'm not too in the know about Nintendo stuff so i'm ignorant of a lot, but I'm not sure what you mean. Was TotK not 3D and also new and original? I don't get it.

1/3rd of TotK's map is basically the same as BotW's with some stuff shuffled around. It's got a lot of new mechanics and shit but the world doesn't feel as fresh.
 
Here’s an absolutely gut-busting story for you guys: professional tech support specialist and hobbyist street shitter Mutahar recently spent all this last month grandstanding about how he wasn’t going to buy the Switch 2 and then decided to buy it on midnight release.

I now lay all the blame on Mutahar for letting Nintendo get away with shitty anti-consumer practices, because he is indicative of the modern consoomerist era.
 
Man the amount of kiwis that bought this is blackpilling, the hope of this shit bombing like the Wii U went out the window.

I hope all your graphite joycons break and cannot be refunded thanks to the new agreement you signed with Nintendo.
 
I've already beat Mario kart world (excluding unlockimg all the karts and costumes). There is nowhere near enough content in this game to justify 80 dollars. Every thing else I have I had already beaten when I had an original switch. This console kind of sucks, I don't recommend buying it. Get a PC handheld instead.

The XL was always good to me but I never used sleep mode. I played it, not carried it in a bag to drain the battery. If it is on, it is used.

Never used it? Not even to go eat or something? Or playing at night and not being able to save, then just putting it in sleep mode for the next day?

It remixes some of the old map and adds what seems to be an inverted version of it as an empty, pointless, samey looking "underground", and some floating islands that seem sparse. It also has a new story and mechanics but it's not a Majora's Mask situation where they reused assets to make a wholly new, unique game, it really seems like it's glorified DLC.

To be fair, it's supposed to be the kind of game that thrives on repeat playthroughs in multiplayer.

I tried using it but every time I needed to do something like that, I just saved and turned it off. Never had the need for it.

Hm, fair enough I guess. In long battles I'd close it sometimes and come back to it later, blinking and near death a day later.

My Vita, however, still holds a charge in sleep mode for a couple days at least, and it's pretty old and well used.
