That RE Pack is honestly pretty good.

Can there be an RE Classics pack with RE Zero HD, REMake HD, and the emulated GameCube versions of RE2, RE3, and Code Veronica or some shit?

Then release RE7 Cloud internationally.

Then Switch wins RE :rejoice

I'd agree if it were $40.

The Wii one has wide tracks with rails that are zzz and a jump button. Also pretty sure Nagoshi wasn't even involved at that point.

1&2 are tight as fuck make you cry platforming challenges. You wanna jump you bump shit at the perfect angle or fly off a cliff at a perfect angle or you  :maf I beat both and some of that stuff was like that gen's super meat boy/celeste/sekiro. Very rewarding game design though. I'd be up for replaying them on a portable since I don't think they have the team together to do a quality new one at this point.
I would love to see 1&2 remake, but I'll take this in the meantime.

Sure, it's $60, which I guess is OK if you consider that the MSRP for the PS4/Xbone versions are $20 each- but that's only for this physical release.  RE4 is $30 on the eShop and RE5 and RE6 will also cost $30 each if you want to go digital only.  :doge

No joycon fix, no buy from me.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/kotaku-joy-con-drift-is-becoming-a-real-problem-on-the-switch.129364/

2/3rds of a userbase having defective controllers should be Nintendo's focus besides battery life and QOL improvements.

"Buy hori joycons" and "Play docked with a pro controller" aren't  solutions. I was rock hard for the Switch lite, but defective joysticks on a dedicated handheld will be a nightmare.

This isn't a real widespread problem AFAIK- no way it's "2/3rds of the user base."  Send the joycon to get fixed or just buy another one.  As opposed to if the Switch Lite controls get busted and you have to send the entire unit in for repair.

Is a Yoshi enjoyable or just gonna make me feel bad for it not being a real game?

I liked it. I think it's good enough to play through but it gets a bit long if you're going for all the collectibles and I was pretty burned out by the end. A lot of creative design, but yeah kinda easy.

Would recommend it when it gets cheap as a "Nintendo Selects" release or something.  Not for $50+.

Victim blaming and Smash bullying I see.  :doge

This isnt a fluke issue that affects a few users, this is a genuine design flaw. I've seen joycon drift threads on ResetEra since the console was launched. Electric cleaner is also a temporary fix, and its not a universal fix either.

"Buy another one" is also not a solution lol. The OG phat PS2's having bunk disc drives and lasers, along with the RROD of the 360, has taught me that if a console sells well enough, critical design flaws don't matter to the manufacturer.

This is why Im hoping there's some sort of change with the Switch lite, the sticks themselves, or some sort internal difference.

I want a dedicated handheld, but fuck having to send the entire unit in whenever the sticks fuck up. Im fine if drift happens after a few years of heavy use, instead of it being completely random.

Throwing this issue under a rug, as if stick drift universally happens to all peripherals the same way, is fucking dumdums for cocoa rocks.

The sliders have metal prongs and the contact pads appear to be made out of graphite, which is softer than the metal prongs. Due to that, the contact pads wear out and microscopic debris are left behind, which then mess with the input readings resulting in the ‘drift’

There is no way to tell if it's two-thirds of the user-base and I highly doubt that, or else there would be way more of an uproar.

Not saying this isn't something that shouldn't be looked into, but it's not as big an issue like say, a fucked-up disk drive or heat sink.

There has been an uproar, but the Switch has been the best selling console (in the US and Japan) for this entire year so far. Design flaws in consoles that sell well get fixed with console revisions.

For the original switch, there needs to be a controller revision that fixes this design flaw. Nintendo has done many controller/control revisions in the past, none for Switch so far.

For the Switch lite, if the sticks are designed and engineered similarly, this issue has extended to being a hardware issue.

With the original Switch getting revisions (better battery life for the upcoming Switches, and a better CPU/memory in the next potential wave), its really ball busting that there isn't any apparent Joycon revision in sight.

Breh, if there's absolutely nothing Nintendo can do about this, they are mass manufacturing bad luck and should be shut down for acts of voodoo and witchcraft.

morma, you don't have a Switch, right?  Stop taking that shit so seriously.  It's not some guaranteed thing that's going to happen if you get one.  Like any other hardware, the most vocal are always the ones having issues or who got lemons.

Has this happened to anyone here?  I have two sets of joy cons and a pro controller- hasn't happened to me.

Thanks for the advice, first Bork told me to get it repaired if issues arise, but now two posters telling me that's a solution has changed my mind. I never knew videogame consoles and peripherals could be repaired until today.

If I can't get it repaired for some reason, is there some way for me to buy another joy-con? Im looking for really simple solutions here, I have infinite money and infinite patience with badly designed electronics.

Drift is exactly what it says. Where your character/cursor moves despite you not touching it at all. Like if Mario just kept walking even when you weren't playing the game

My nephew's Switch has the drift thing, but he also tends to treat electronics like shit cause he's a 7 year old.

The stick on my right joycon makes metallic noises so I'm expecting that the spring in there is not of the best quality.

Unintentional movement with no input from the player. So if a joystick is in a neutral position, the character, or screen, is moving. Or, in game menus, it'll cycle infinitely and loudly. Itll also interfere with your inputs.

If you look up past Nintendo controllers + drift, its all mario kart related. As in, drifting tips with the kart. Switch/joycon drift gets you to the issue right away.

N64 controllers are also very prone to drift issues based on the amount of discussion about them. I give Nintendo slack there, joystick control is a huge innovation and all their own games use the stick well.

Wanting a dedicated handheld that won't have a prevalent design issue from the previous iteration should not be a controversial opinon. That's like, the most basic bitch shit possible.

You can pay four bucks to ship a defective joycon to Nintendo to repair/replace or buy another controller if you don't want to do that- nobody is excusing any of this.  It's just not the same kind of issue like a RRoD or whatever.  I've had other console controllers break before- it happens.  Maybe I should go write an article about it.

Can't they increase the deadzone in firmware, as a dirty workaround? I've always assumed that consoles do this already, because the worn console controllers I own have much worse stick drift on PC than on the consoles themselves.

This would be the ideal solution imo. As long as the "correction" doesn't make the deadzone too big, it'd be a good enough work around potentially.

Like you've described, PC games or input detection on PC is a lot more sensitive than on the intended console the peripheral is for.

Nintendo: "Hey remember when we had really good screens on some models of the Gameboy Advance SP and Nintendo DS/3DS and really bad ones on others?"

Consumers: "We had to check the serial numbers right? And in most cases they were easy to spot because of special editions..."

Nintendo: "YES! Now, let's play that game again. But this time we won't make any 'visible' changes. We just put in a new chip and battery and everything else is the same."

Consumers: "So how will we know if retailers are just clearing out old stock or selling refurbished models or if these are the new ones with better batteries or chips or even if they're released outside of Japan?"

Nintendo: "YES!"

I agree with morma though, but only on the principle of being personally tired hearing Joy-Con complaints over and over.

Funnily enough, my switch is the only console I have where none of the controllers have busted in one way or another.

I hade Xbox controllers where the 3.5mm stopped working for whatever reason, and ps4 controllers withe broke shoulder buttons, but all of my joy cons work fine.

Plus it has another big fault of having no d-pad!   :awesome

Have had good luck with all console controllers this gen.  *knock on wood*

Last gen the biggest problems I had were with third party controllers.  Namely Mad Catz fightpads.

DS4 are the only controllers I had issues with. One of them had the thumbpads come off, the other just randomly stopped connecting wirelessly.

I've heard the Xbone Elite controller have had issues so I avoided those, and I'm fine using their regular ones for PC/console play anyway.

The d-pad issue is honestly the bigger one more people should be talking about, considering it affects both Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers...

At the very least for that one, there's Hori's solution for the Joy-Con crowd. (Still nothing for us Pro Controller users tho. :()

What's the issue with the pro controller's d-pad? From appearances it seems to be a proper d pad and not that bullshit on the joycons. I haven't played with one, though, so no clue.

Pro controller's d-pad is one of the shittiest ones I've ever used. Hits the wrong direction or doeesn't register a direction enough that it made my playthrough of Celeste and Hollow Knight on it pretty frustrating at times. Always played better in handheld mode with the joycon's and it's not like those split 4 button layout are an amazing d-pad either but it's far superior to the Pro controller's d-pad. I'm definitely a bit butt-hurt that the pro controller sucks for d-pad games (aka 2d games) since these controllers are ridiculously overpriced expensive in the first place.

Also I realized I have no idea if my joycons drift because I always just use the pro controller for tv playing and docked joycons for handheld. Probably haven't detached the joycons off the screen since like launch day.

There is a solution- get an 8bitdo controller.  Syncs right up like an official joypad.  Costs way less, too.

They did put out another Pro Controller with a fixed dpad. Mine seems mostly okay, works well for Mario anyway.

There's an eShop sale going on right now.  Some good stuff like both One Piece games for $15.99 each, a few Sega Ages games, R-Type Dimensions EX for $9 IIRC, Battle Princess Madelyn (GnG clone) for $10, and more. 

If you like 'Warriors' games and haven't played One Piece, definitely get Pirate Warriors 3- it's one of the best ones and this version also includes all of the DLC.

33-50% off all Mega Man games as well (they're all on my wishlist so I got an email when they dropped. #CopyMoreThingsFromSteam)

$10 - Mega Man Legacy Collection (-33%)
$10 - Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 (-50%)
$12 - Mega Man X Legacy Collection (-40%)
$12 - Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 (-40%)
$20 - Mega Man 11 (-33%)

Also I continue to commend Capcom (on this one thing) of making these legacy collections, their naming, and their numbering make sense and be consistent.

It shouldn't be noteworthy, but obsessive side is thankful.
