“Nintendo sues” oh look it’s a day that ends in Y. The only person Nintendo isn’t dead set on suing is Nintendo.

Here’s you 937th remake of Super Mario Bros 2 that you can only rent, have a nice day.

And our online service is absolute trash but you’ll pay anyway to have a legal emulator until we also discontinue that for Super other garbage online service!

Don't forget that they will hide behind arbitration to avoid paying up for knowing seeking shoddy consoles/controllers.

Oh don't even get me started. Hall effect has been known since 1879, those JoyCons didn't use it because it was cheaper to use shitty graphite. They literally went the cheap ass route because they didn't even care.

That’s not even necessarily the issue. XBox and PS controllers also don’t use Hall effect. I’ve never had an xbox controller drift. You’d have to seriously abuse them for them to break. Nintendo isn’t just cheaping out on the tech but also on the build quality itself. But what do you expect from a company that sells a console that was obsolete when it was released, hardware wise. For the third time.

Xbox controller drift

Really? That's usually the quickest issue my controllers have with occasionally sticky thumb buttons. I'd gone through so many I just get Blue PowerA controllers now. They're better than $200 ones for 1/8 the price, and have great warranties.

Stick drift and non optimal buttons are instant killers for any decent platformer.

Both my two 360 controllers and my xone controller are drift free and I’ve had them for a while. And my 360 controllers have been abused by my little brother for a while. They have issues (like the rubber off the sticks getting rubbed away slowly), but drift isn’t one of them. Heck, even my old Wii Nunchucks are drift free and they’ve been abused a lot.

I agree that they definitely also develop drift sooner or later, but I have yet to see a controller drift as fast as joycons do, with the exception of maybe the first batch of dualsenses that were atrocious for some reason

The issue is also rampant with PS5, unfortunately.

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Don’t own a PS5 so I sadly/luckily don’t have experience with that

[–] WallEx@feddit.de 9 points 10 months ago

And still charge premium money for the controllers

[–] Lemmchen@feddit.de 14 points 10 months ago

Their Emulator can't even run SNES games at a stable framerate.

Don't know the website, is this bait?

It's even worse than that. The only way to back up save files for games like Animal Crossing, which can represent a ton of playtime, is to pay for their online service. The save games aren't saved to the cartridge like they were with 3ds and you can't back up saves locally on the SD card either.
