Nintendo: General Discussion

Hmmm, Ray Tracing. Keep your ray tracing and give us 60 FPS standard on all games.

Jay from The Inbetweeners is more reliable than rumours from metro.co.uk

Haven't used those controllers. I've used these and found them very good for the price:

I thought the film was great. Didn't see anything wrong with Mario's voice, though I thought Luigi sounded a little Roger Rabbit-ish.

For a family film, I was surprised at the gritty punches some of the characters endured, and Bowser saying he will "kill".. rather than a more family friendly "destroy" :)

That's a warning they give/gave for their other devices that use lithium ion.

Keep meaning to charge my Wii u controllers every 6 months. I.e. the pro controller and the gamepad.

You know you can use the Wii U pro controller with the switch and a device like this. I have one. Works. But I never use it. 😁Thinking I should now and again to keep the battery alive. E.g. couple times per year.

I started playing with my Switch Pro Controller knock-off recently with my Switch Lite as I was getting some major cramp on some games, but the first thing I noticed was the height of the analog thumbsticks. They're huge!

I'm coming from a PS4 / Xbone controller background so it would take some getting used to, but even compared to the native joy con thumbstick height they are well higher.

I thought initially that the knock-off had been badly engineered, but it seems it's identical on the genuine article too

I find the only way I can play comfortably with them is to keep my arms extended straight, and prop the Switch Lite on a stand in front of them so my hands actually go behind the Switch Lite.

Trying to recall if the Wii U Pro controller was similar, but I don't think so as I remember that being pretty comfy.

Yeah it's these ones

The reviews all seem to be glowing for it and suggest it's identical.

I also found this article

Actually comparing the two it seems the knockoff has recessed buttons on the thumbsticks whereas the genuine article seems to have convex buttons.. maybe that's it

Wouldn't want to be the person that has to sift through the 100,000 applications for that!

Funny that in a few years these jobs won't exist as AI will be doing the dev for us (and I say that as a developer)

Just following on from the issues I had with my knock-off Pro Controller.. I'm now finding that the controller keeps disconnecting (and powering off) randomly every 15-20 minutes or so while in mid-game.

I'm in contact with the seller to get a replacement, but just curious if controller disconnection is a common thing on Switch?

I did a quick google and it does come up quite often.
