I can’t find these joycons anywhere!!

Wow I've never seen these ones before. But these are what Nintendo needs to do instead of the tiny joy cons they currently do.

Why didnt they make these able to charge with USB?

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

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..

For the first time, there isn't any upcoming first-party Switch 1 content

Suggestions like “sell a dockless version, sell a joycon-less version” etc all fail to acknowledge that a large reason why these accessories are so expensive when bought separately is because Nintendo needed SOMETHING to take a hit in order to keep the Switch 2’s price low, not because it’s actually

Guys and girls, I have a question.

As for me, I always do it with regular size controllers. I struggle to do so on Nintendo Switch JoyCons.
