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.

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

  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Will you give me mouth to mouth oxygen if my throat closes?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Nah the air can do that
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Ask @x65943 he's trained for that stuff
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Kissing random dudes choking in celery? Really? Need to study for that?
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yes it requires a degree
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    If I die, tell my momma I won't be carrying Baby Jesus this christmas :sad::cry:

    Sweet found my Wii u PSU right after I ordered a new one :tpi:
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    It literally turns it on.
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Yeah power supplies are filthy perverts
  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    @Psionic Roshambo has a new friend
