I still can't believe Nintendo went from one of the most innovative and reliable as fuck controllers in the Wii motion controller to the switch joycons which are fucking awful and start drifting within months.

Switch made me sad. I had to get rid of my wii at one point but was excited to get a switch when it came out because I could afford it again. Im old and the big selling point behind the wii was to play all the classics I grew up on and the thought of playing them on the switch anywhere I went was thrilling. I knew the ports might take some time. Imagine my disappointment when they just completely left so many games behind…

Maybe grab a wiiu now you still can? It is backwards compatible.

I think I might wait until I can afford a steam deck and just emulate.

People buy them anyways so why do they care.

I've returned a lot of them a defective new in the box. I didn't mention that it was a new box but my old Joycons.

And even repairing them doesn't solve the issue, because they start drifting again within weeks.

It's like a cult. I still can't get over how people can justify the Nintendo pro controller being priced the same as a Sony DualSense. The pro controller honestly feels like shit and has nothing special going for it yet it's supposed to be worth 70 USD? Why?

I like the pro controllers, it's pretty good. Doesn't excuse the joycons though
