Battery life and weight. That’s what keeps me from getting a pc handheld. Although the switch 2 is so big I don’t know if that holds true anymore

Not surprising. Nintendo is turning into the Apple of the video game world.

I owned a Switch 1, and it certainly was the Nintendo console I touched up the most. I replaced the back panel once before I got a Lite and then an OLED.
I will say given how much I took that thing on the road and the beatings it took I never found the issues unreasonable and I only ever had to fix cosmetic damage (joycons aside). I've seen Switches get a TON of usage, too.
It's not Nintendo's most rugged console, but it's certainly not a "fragile little thing" as I would define it.
Let me put it this way, I'd much rather fix a broken Steam Deck, but I was way less worried about breaking a Switch.

It didn’t break and need repair, except for all the times it broke and needed repair.

Are you fucking kidding? They didn't switch to Hall effect?

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.

If they glue in the battery it doesn't cost me anything extra to remove it.

The point is it is harder because they wanted to make it harder. What one could call "corporate shenanigans"

schrieb am 7.

It’s cool that you’ve figured out how to do that even though these hardware manufacturers haven’t.

Just don't break it smh.

I really appreciate iFixit and how they help bring the discussion of repairability to the forefront.

In those place it's usually sharing which is illegal, downloading is fine as long as you already own the media.
schrieb am 7. Juni 2025, 18:57 zuletzt editiert vonAnd where would you download from, that is seen as legal sharing of someone else's IP?
The closest you could get is by locating the ROM file in some PC remakes, assuming there's no "protection" on them.
Again, playing around the "legal" way to do things. In reality, it's different.

I use hall effect on the daily and have had none of the issues you're discussing. I suppose time will tell, but I much prefer hall effect.
schrieb am 7. Juni 2025, 20:40 zuletzt editiert vonProbably depends entirely on what games you play, and how sensitive you are, but hall effects feel like trash and destroy the joycon battery life. I tried playing Celeste with hall effects and wooooow was it bad. Basically unplayable past the early chapters.

schrieb am 7. Juni 2025, 20:40 zuletzt editiert vonThere are PC handhelds that do old emulated games pretty well with good battery life. Sorta like a modern version of a DS or PSP.

I have children, like their first party titles, and dislike piracy. I also have a PC handheld that gets more use than the Switch, and I like both.

If I had to replace a part on my car that cost 25% of the cost of the entire car EACH time, I would just not buy from that company any longer (which is what I’m doing). Not sure why this person is writing paragraphs and paragraphs of excuses for Nintendo.
