well fan for life Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Repaired a broken JoyCon the other night. Mine had developed a horrible amount of drift that was rendering it unusable. Bought a wee kit off Amazon for a tenner a while ago and never got round to it. Turns out it's a total breeze to replace the joystick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got a link, i've got a the same problem with my left Joy Con, basically drifts to the right all the time and i'm not paying £65 for a new one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I know it's hard to get non essential things these days but I can't find a switch anywhere that hasn't been price gouged to high heavens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a great bundle deal, but Argos are doing the Switch at its normal retail price of £279. Struggling to find a Switch at all, only Switch Lite which seems a bit of a pointless buy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought this off Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07VLYGLF4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edit: Just checked and it's sold out but this one looks like it's much the same here! Then followed a video like this: It was actually really, really easy to do. Just take your time and be careful with the really tiny screws. You might also need to recalibrate the joystick itself once you boot it up again. Edited April 3, 2020 by well fan for life 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't played Witcher 3 it'd be worth a shot in the hope that you fall on the "absolutely love it" side of the fence. Breath of the Wild I never got into, but seems like I'm in the minority. Very polished, and if you like that type of game you'll have a ball. To be honest, I've not really found a game on the switch that I've thought has been shit, particularly on ports. The ones I've played have done an incredible job of working around the limitations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghPar1975 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Anyone got FIFA 20 for their Switch? I got it for £20 from Currys. Not seen great reviews but most of them say it's due to no real upgrade since 19...I've not had a FIFA game since World Cup 2010 on PS3. Is this ok if that's the last one you played? I always got PES although the last of that was 2019... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdcal Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 That was like an RKO straight outta nowhere had heard nothing about this. Looking forward to it though. There was a leak last year suggesting a Mario franchise game, a 2d metroid game and a Mario world's type thing with levels from 64, sunshine, galaxy etc would all be this year but nothing announced, then this appears out the ether Found a link remario, not Mario world's but Mario remasters. https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/super-mario-bros-35th-anniversary/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Mario Sunshine would be class. I've wanted to buy a Gamecube for ages to dive back in to some of the classics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
