Anyone notice their joysticks getting a rough feel to them, almost grainy when you rotate the stick? I've been using my second pair of joycons and just picked up the ones that came with my unit and the stick noticeably feels "worn". There's also noticeably more give when you click the stick in. Kind of a bummer because I like them better (neon!) I haven't dropped it or anything.

Between that and how springy/clicky the shoulder buttons feel I'm pretty disappointed in the build quality of the joycons. It's not like they're cheap either.

My joycons are still fine. I press those buttons/sticks regularly since I don't have a pro controller, so idk if usage is a factor here.

is that really a thing besides being purely anecdotal? I get at the professional level because of interference etc


It's real regardless of casual/competitive. How much it matters, though, is up to you. Even if I play games casually, I hate input lag and would like to reduce it as much as possible. That said any testing is going to ultimately depend on if you have anything else in your specific entertainment setup (distance, interference, etc).

See some info to avoid the newer smash controllers, gamble with an older gamecube controller, find the 2008 white Japanese one. Which should I be buying? Looking at wavebirds for convenience, not trying to compete or anything. They work fine with a wii-u and adapter?

Are you planning on playing Melee, or Smash 4? If you're planning on Smash 4, then the new controllers shouldn't be an issue.

If you're planning on Melee, do you guys care at all about competitive play? If not, then the new controllers shouldn't be much of an issue either. They aren't ideal but you probably won't notice much of a difference.

Are you competitive melee guys? If so, then don't pick wavebirds at all, and you're best bet is looking at the Japanese ones I think.

They all work with the Wii U + adapter, yes.

I haven't had to charge my Pro Controller yet. I've had it for a month. I mean it was charged when I opened it and I haven't plugged it in once so far. I don't know what kind of voodoo battery tech they use but I wish my phone had it.

The Pro Controller is well worth $70 or $80 or however much I spent for it. The build quality and overall feel of it is amazing, and the battery lasts for actual weeks. The d-pad is a bit shifty and I'm excited about the 8bitdo SNES controller for classic gaming should they ever actually come out with a VC, but for now it's Pro all the way for me.

"Switch rewards coming soon" I don't understand why Nintendo lies. At this point I'm not going to get the points off any of my physical games until Switch rewards are out. The rewards will probably be small discounts on games I own

They announced in Japan last month that MyNintendo exclusive Splatoon clothes are coming soon so we'll probably see that too.

It runs out a lot more quickly if you're good at playing games.

Soon, but instead of releasing games for old systems, they will be creating games for an imaginary system with specs somewhere between the snes and n64 and presenting them as if they are forgotten classics.

Watched a stream of someone playing a bunch of Mario games and they were playing 3D World and I was reminded of how many amazing WiiU games there are that like 5 total people played and it makes me want them to re-release the entire WiiU library for the Switch right freaking now.
