DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Yes it's $20 a year and not worth it when you weigh the landscape of online games. The only perk is some NES games you have access to. No other systems games work on Switch, Nintendo killed the virtual console Amiibo and some DLC depending on the game Edited November 24, 2018 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The system only has 32gb's of storage and some games require large installs so you will need an SD card for extended storage. ($20-$40) Also you'll want to buy a glass screen protector, the screen is soft plastic and very prone to scuffs and scratches plus the dock itself leaves blemishes on the screen. ($10) The Joycons are small and awkward to hold if you don't have female or asian hands so you'll want to buy a Pro controller as well. The Joycons also have no D-pad, they have directional buttons. To add to this all the triggers are digital on both the Joycons and Pro controller so no gradual roll ons, it's just an on and off switch. ($70) If you want to play online and use voice communication you will need an app on your phone that a headset can connect to. Games will also be more expensive in general, not just Nintendo games but also third party titles with physical releases. Third parties have to offset the cost of the catridges versus optical media. The system is a money pit to bring up to normal and acceptable standards for any other console, just be aware. Edited November 24, 2018 by DynamiteCop! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Pro Controller is a must imo. The joycons even with the grip are unusable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It makes it not ideal for some games, but more ideal for others. Hell, even the Xbox One Elite controller has switches to shorten the throw so that it's basically a digital trigger. Of course, that would be the optimal solution for the Pro controller as well... I can't lie. I'd also take the Xbox One's d-pad over the Pro controller's. But the buttons and everything else are quite close to perfect for me. It's definitely the more comfortable of the two imo. They're all pretty great controllers with pluses and minuses though really.

Lmao at playing fighting games or sidescrollers without the best dpad in the industry. Not my fault if your ogre hands aren't comfortable around one. But the issue with the joycons isn't if it's confy or not, the joysticks and buttons placement are a fucking joke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not with that Garbo dpad, no analog triggers and no pressure sensitive buttons Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, the d-pad is garbo, but only because of the input issue, it feels great otherwise. What games are actually using analog triggers? Racing games and uh..... LOL. The importance of analog triggers is overstated. They're obviously nice to have... but they're actually criminally underused compared to how much importance people place on them. All next gen controllers should have dual-stage triggers though anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SheepKilla 473 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 The real list is: Gamecube controller > PS3 controller > PS2 controller. And Xbox dead last due to bad aesthetics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
