retroed Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 My right Joy-Con has started to detach itself without having to press the release button on the back, which isn't ideal. It's being sent to Nintendo UK service centre for repair/replacement, and I don't have to pay postage, so hopefully there's not a long turnaround.

retroed Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 @Pikman Pro controller is essential for TV play I'd say, have had one since launch. I play a lot in handheld though, it goes everywhere with me and the Joy-Con are removed frequently for multiplayer Bomberman sessions. Luckily I still have a Pro controller so can play Switch whilst the right Joy-Con is away being repaired/replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 My Pro Controller arrived yesterday so I've just put the Switch through the TV for the first time. First impressions were it looked like ass. So I went through the settings and the resolution was set to automatic, changed it to 1080p and it looks great. Is there any downside to having the best resolution? Does it mess with frame rate or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm puzzled to why a pro controller is so essential. I find the joy-con grip as comfortable as any other controller. If I did have to buy another controller I'd rather buy a new pair of joy-cons with a grip than a pro. Seems better value for money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well, for one thing it means I now have an extra controller for multiplayer. I'm not overly keen on the idea of using the joycons outside of being attached to the system, but if need be I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Have you tried a Pro controller, @DifferentClass? It's one of the most comfortable pads I've used. I love the Joy-Con in handheld mode, which is where I spend the majority of my time, but when on the TV I find the Joy-Con in the grip to be too small. Pro controller is ace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's bastard expensive though, 60 quid! And I already have a WiiU controller that in theory should work with it, bar the screenshot ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manicm Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Nintendo got a bit of a twitter backlash for not having the wii u controller compatable, they said it was the rumble and amiibo connection etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you need one at all personally, it's £60 I'd rather spend on games. Joy-Cons in the cradle feel fantastic to me, played 85+ hours of BotW and 40+ in MK8D largely in that configuration and never had any issues.

I am finding the same with the Joy-con-grip setup, it feels too narrow. AND the pro controller has an actual D pad for Sonic (although I think with a single TV in the house I might be playing handheld a lot anyway...)

HandsomeDead Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 The d-pad looks nice but not £60 nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikman Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Totally agree. I'm going to see how it goes with the joy-con for a while, the benefit to me seems that the pro batteries last for a lot longer and maybe it is more comfortable..

retroed Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Pro controller has a 40-hour battery life. Amazing going to that from a DualShock 4 that lasts about five minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yeah I was gonna say, my controller still says it has a full battery and I've used it a fair bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 My Joy-Con arrived today from Nintendo, pretty sure it's a new replacement and not a repair. It's a much nicer fit than the left one is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikman Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I bought a Pro Controller yesterday. All I can say is, if you haven't used one yet, do try to, it is really awesome. A guy in the office had a go and we went to the store at lunch for him to get one too, lol. Now I don't need to keep disconnecting the joy-cons either, which is nice.
