*** Nintendo Switch ***

Hi all, I picked up Crysis last night and apart from the fact that I am floored that this little handheld games machine can run a PC killer(!), I noticed that the left analogue stick won’t click, so I can’t sprint.

I’ve found plenty of articles about analogue drift but couldn’t find how to/whether it’s possible to fix this. Any tips or do I send back to Nintendo for repair?

I just buy broken stuff, repair and sell it. Sometimes I like to mod it :) like this:



And then I end up with loads of that thing because I like it and dont fancy selling it at that time.

Best to send back to Nintendo, say it drifts occasionally and also the stick won't click, and 99% they'll fix it FOC.
 
Just for point of reference, I've had several issues over the years (across 5 pairs of Joycons, so not as bad as it sounds), and providing I could dig out my reciept/proof of purchased for the machines, every single issue with a Joycon they've fixed for free. I believe due to the widespread issues with drift, they basically now fix anything that might involve that fault for free due to the widespread public noise on the issue, which is nice at least.

In the earlier days I seem to remember they weren't so lenient, but now for anything where there is even a chance drift is involved, that seems to be the modus operandi, at least in the UK. From memory the actual repairer Nintendo contract is someone called Repairtech IIRC. They're fairly fast though, don't think they've ever had my joycons for more than a week, and usually only a few working days from receipt.
 
I've been away from Nintendo (and PC) gaming following a round of eye surgeries and now I'm almost fully recovered.

What's the latest news on Mario titles? I bought Mario Party Superstars and Super Mario 3D World which are both 2021 titles. Did anything come out last year, or are there any titles coming up?

Going further back than 2021, I adored Super Mario Galaxy from the 3-in-1 games pack that also includes Mario Sunshine and Mario 64.

Super Mario Odyssey is a strange one for me because the day I started playing it was the day before my Dad suddenly passed away. It's well made though and a great sense of fulfilment when collecting the moons (kinda like an achievement system).

I hope to see an Odyssey sequel, and the Galaxy sequel on the Switch.

Fire Emblem : Engage just came out if you are into turn based tactical RPGs. Toward the end of last year Bayonetta 3 was released ( action game ). Before that was Splatoon 3 ( multiplayer 3rd person shooter ), Xenoblade Chronicles 3 ( JRPG ) and Triangle Strategy ( another turn based tactical RPG ). And this year the follow up to Zelda : BOTW is expected. I'm sure I've probably missed a few Nintendo titles ...

Anyone played this yet. I enjoyed the series on Nintendo 3DS but the last switch game three houses was full of JRPG make work and side quest filler content wondering around chatting to NPCs with little interaction. It was all a bit weeb Harry Potter simulator in parts.

I’ve heard engage is more focused on the tactical combat however. So I’m unsure whether to give it a try? :confused:

Engage is more in keeping with the older titles like Fire Emblem Awakening. There is some social stuff but nowhere near the same degree as in Three Houses.

Undertale? Not pretty in a "wow, amazing graphics" way, but it looks good and is an utterly fantastic game.

Maybe Pikmin?

Disney Dreamlight Valley has mixed reviews, I own it and couldn't really get into it.. but my Brother-in-law plays it loads with his Daughter.

I guess it helps if you're a Disney fan but I found it very very slow - it's rated about 8/10 in most parts though.

I've been playing it and yeah much more in keeping with older titles, way less admin between chapters/battles.

Tunic? There is a little combat but it's not overwhelming and I think you can adjust the combat difficulty accordingly
