I honestly don't care how difficult it is, only if it's possible, if it's cost-effective, and if there are any fucking corporate shenanigans that intentionally make it harder.

Hope the drift issue is fixed. Ran into the issue with two of mine. The paper under the joystick hack didn't work and one of the brand new replacement joysticks I installed isn't responsive.

Spoiler alert: it's not. Same joysticks as last time.

I don't care about the difficulty

Nintendo better not have made it difficult

uh

All the more reason for me not to purchase it.

That's... What the repairability score is.

I honestly don't care how difficult it is, only if it's possible

Can you think in the relationship of the two variables?

It's not, and the joycons are even HARDER to repair due to a piece of plastic glued over a screw on the inside..

I didn't say that, you just made it up so I'm not sure what your point is.

I wasn't talking about the repairability score. I was talking about the title of this article stating that it's "harder" to repair than the Switch 1.

Congrats it's worse! Harder to get to

Verbatim quote ya doofus

Bruh just likes a challenge.

I'm well aware of what I said 2 hours ago, thank you. Is there a point you'd like to make?

Also the personal insults are not warranted.

After the initial excitement I think the Switch 2 is gonna bomb. Offers too little for too much.

Haha when they did that blog post to change the switch from 8/10 to 4/10 saying they don't normally do that but wanted to make sure you could compare the 2 properly against the original, I thought they were making space for the 2 to be above the original, not that they were going to mark it as worse

I implore people to watch the teardown guide itself, which is way more nuanced than the clickbaity The Verge article.

I'm not a fan of the use of glue in the joycon sides and the fact that the color strips under the controllers are hiding screws. The bigger complaint is the battery glue, especially because you can imagine aftermarket parts with bigger capacity could be a thing here. I definitely wouldn't open this thing unless it has a problem.

Some components are still modular, which is nice. I can't imagine the sticks not having changed design is great, but it's entirely possible they're way more durable, which the teardown acknowledges. Keep in mind that, while all controllers can drift, most controllers don't fail that way. It's possible to build this type of stick without widespread issues. Time will tell, though.

Just yesterday I spent 3 hours playing MK8D on my PC. Cozy on my bed and a controller + a remote keyboard.
Felt like the real deal.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Is emulation so frowned upon here?

It's the same joystick design. As the video says that doesn't mean it will have the same issues as frequently, but it does mean it can have the same issues. The question will be at what rate.

Given the coverage I have very low hopes that we will get a good idea of that from the press. Instead I expect the first Switch 2 joycon to drift will be put on an auction sale for every clickbait article to parade in front of people with rotten tomatoes at the ready. Still, it will matter if it's one in two or one in a million.
