Hi! I nearly have money to buy a switch. As usual,I buy game console for license and only after few years (probably 5). What hardware problems switch has (e.g. joycons broke into small plastic parts)?

Physically, the kickstand is bad, the joycons are a bit flimsy, and if you're unlucky, the dock will scratch the screen.

Digitally, the internet services are bad and the storage is small

I haven't ever been able to use the kickstand as a kickstand, the angle never seems right and it's too darn flimsy.

also there's not really that many good games for it unless you like PORTS and indies..

if i were you i'd wait because nintendo is rumored to be releasing a newer version of the switch next year and who knows what it will have?

analogue sticks are looser than those of controllers and they start drifting if you jerk them hard or if they get dirty.

I have the problem and i hate it.. Goodbye left joycon.
I buy now a 8bitdo adapter to use my ps4 controller. Mabye sometimes new joycons for games like just dance or mario party

    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation

    Southpark could spend 30k on a animated dick and people would laugh at it
