Well, that sucks. At least with those you get an option of physical release at the same price. I thought they’d be doing what they did with Banaza which makes sense - those new carts have a non-trivial cost so charging less for digital seemed fair. I was wondering how they got around retailers pushing back against digital being cheaper but I guess they didn’t.

Are there any Nintendo titles that cost $80 for the digital release? Digital version of Bananza is $70. I think Nintendo is the only company that’s going to weather upcoming storm just fine since they sell toys and there’s always a demand for those.

ET moment already happened with Concord (scrapped entirely after spending absurd amounts of money) and Veilguard (about to be added to cereal boxes just to recoup some cost).

There are more important things to get angry over. Getting angry over hats is just tribalism.

Just 3 months ago Kojima was sporting „Make TV Great Again” hat with zero backlash. I think people look for ways to be outraged.

Please downvote this more to prove my point about pointless tribalism.

I would probably find this out when Hall effect sticks died but they simply refuse to. Good to know though, thanks.

I would say that this is an indication that Piefed support is on the cards but might require development on Piefed end too.

I used GuliKit NS40 which is available on Amazon and other places. Get a kit with tools if you don’t have tri-wing screwdriver yet. I was replacing joysticks every couple of months until I got those but haven’t had to since then.

RMA due to drift? That’s rather unheard of, I’d be more inclined to suspect that you got a fake.

Switch 2 desperately needs Splatoon 4 :(

You should have gone with Hall effect replacements since that’s a permanent fix. Not knocking on your effort, it’s a delicate work and you’ve got some practice in for the time you’ll have to go back to do that :)

It’s unclear to me if HDMI 2.1 is supported at all because there’s no VRR while docked according to specs. I connected mine to 2.0 port and it says it’s capable of 120 Hz at 1080/1440p. I doubt 120 Hz with HDR would require HDMI 2.1 bandwidth since 2.0b can do 4K60 with HDR.

Microsoft designed handheld is on pause (and probably cancelled because AMD is not going to provide Series S level performance anytime soon and ARM+Nvidia is no go after whole W11 ARM fiasco). They’re pivoting to what Valve is doing with specialised gaming OS for OEMs.

This is to make Game Pass appear more valuable, nothing more.

Iran can’t get nukes quick enough.

Digital triggers make most racing games suck. Could be intentional to sell more Mario Kart now that I think about it. Nintendo are business geniuses.
