My school bought a bunch of Switches to use as a "reward" activity for middle school kids. What could this look like, and how best to manage?

My first purchase would be screen protection for all consoles, but especially for the Lites. A regular switch can still display to the TV with a cracked screen, but a Lite is toast since it can't connect to anything else. I'd also consider a controller budget.. Stock joycons are notorious for issues

Nintendo Switch Firmware Update 20.5.0 is out now

I can’t take it anymore. I pick up my Switch. I check for updates. “A new system update is available.” I hesitate… what if this one breaks something. Maybe it will ruin my precious smoothness and stability. I hit “Install.” The system restarts without a hitch. The notice reads: "General system stabi

What a nostalgic blast from the past!

I’m so glad DK oldies are preserving and repairing Nintendo’s legacy consoles for all to enjoy at a price point and quality Nintendo would approve of. I also remember that princess peach sprite, she’s from my favorite classic Mario game, Super Mario 3D All Stars Collection, only available at DK oldi

A Comparison of Prices Across All Major Gaming Consoles.

The problem for the Switch 2 for me isn’t the price of the console, it’s how it is monetized. They are charging $99 for another pair of joy con which are likely to drift in a couple of years. They charge $90 for a pro controller. They charge to use a built in game chat feature (only took them 20 yea

Best way to clean white joycons?

Very easy for Joy Cons! Did this with mine. All you need is two screwdrivers, one philips and one tri-wing. Tutorials can be found on iFixit

This is how it feels as a general Nintendo fan in 2026 who just wants to enjoy their games and systems without getting caught up in internet wars.

Joy-Con drift: known issue, knowingly screwing the customer over Nintendo still gives free repairs out of warranty in several regions to anyone who has Joy-Con drift. Nintendo uses software locks, warranty voidance threats, and parts restrictions to force consumers to use only Nintendo's official re

The new Xbox Elite 3 and Cloud controllers has been leaked.

I’m sure that’s a fine controller but it can’t wake the Switch 2 from sleep which would make it a non starter for me, personally. Also, I haven’t tried one to test the vibration but I’m guessing at that price it isn’t anywhere near as good as what’s in first party Nintendo controllers. The jury is s

Nintendo switch repair

That joy-con drift was really bad on my Switch 1. Nintendo will fix them for free if you send them off, but you have to open up a ticket on their website first. The after market joy con stick replacements are just as bad if not worse than the original ones. It takes a couple of weeks to get the joy

“HES USING LOGIC AND MATH! GET HIM!”

This is something that exists for most controllers. The only first-party Hall effect controllers are the Sega Saturn controller, the Dreamcast controller, and the Steam Controller - all the analog sticks Sony and Microsoft have used are potentiometers, as well as every stick Nintendo's used since th

Shiggy's done it again - Pragmata is better on Switch 2 than any other platform

I mean, every game becomes better when you play with the Joy-Con 2s, the premium controllers of the Switch 2. Furthermore, you can experience the game anywhere with the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro, making the experience of playing third party games even more awesome. And to finish the humiliation of Nin T
