i really hope they figure out the manufacturing problem with the joycons cuz otherwise the switch lite is going to be a fucking dangerous purchase

I can assure you beyond the shadow of a doubt of two things, with that free repair service
-
By taking advantage of it, you waive your right to be a part of that class-action lawsuit
-
Your Joy-Cons will be “repaired” using the exact same flawed parts that failed in the first place
Meaning two or three months down the road, your joy-cons will fail again, except now that you’ve used up your one(1) free repair, your only recourse is to buy a brand-new pair of joy-cons.
Also, IF Nintendo ever redesigns the sticks to not wear out after being gently looked at for more than 6 hours, I can also guarantee you that the moment they start putitng them in production, the free repair window will slam shut so fast it’ll glow like the space shuttle making re-entry

Yeah those phones with “better” chipsets can’t really run them sustained. Switch is setup to have the best graphics possible, have its other features, while still being usable and affordable.
Also, part the reason some phones like iphones have relatively better specs is because iphones sell way more units than Switch. So their cost per unit is lower, for better stuff. Not only due to general considerations of bulk ordering, but also likely due to Apple and other brands being able to negotiate even further, because they can practically gauruntee a certain number of sales.

I watched videos of it but wasn’t prepared for how good it looked even on the portable screen. It’s a great argument for making a new game and just cribbing the look.

Yeah Virtua Racing on Switch kinda makes me want to see an HD port of Interstate '76
I thought if was because the parts are made by factory workers getting paid pennies to the hour.
Switch is likely made under similar conditions, if not the very same factory.
phones have better specs because they have the very okay combination of being sold as luxury items while also on a annual introduction/obsolescence cycle
consoles get to kick around for far longer product cycles and are privy to a lot of the stupid shit in other tech sectors, and even then, asking everyone to up and give most everything up and start over again every 5-7 years is kind of bullshit compared to the relative stability of a lot of consumer products
so, it’s greed. we’re greedy, they’re greedy, everyone greedy.

This video is kinda long, but it explains the battle system. The comboing of synch attacks looks satisfying, but I’ve never played any of these Platinum games so I dunno.

it looks cool it might be fun I am just tired of over post processed visuals and the aesthetic is so generic?? idk. I’ll probably get bored and download it when it’s on sale or something

Yeah I think it looks interesting, but I won’t be picking it up any time soon.
I have reached the level in Mario Tennis where playing just pisses me off. The trick shot mechanic when used by really good players is fucking maddening, I have no idea how to end points anymore since they can just dink back literally everything. then if I can get ahead, they pull out Zone shot serves which are absurdly hard to defend. i guess this is what people mean when they call it a fighting game.

Is it known whether a Switch Lite can work as just another controller for a Switch if you want it to?
Like, you could play 2-player games with it on a docked Switch? And there’s probably not even anything on your screen?
Pretty sure it doesn’t work as a separate controller, but you could probably use it for two player games where each player uses their own screen
