1 more thing just in case you are replacing because control stick is broken or has joycon drift. there are good repair sets on aliexpress. I got a good set for 8 euro. It came with 2 new sticks. very easy to install.

Here is the set I got:

there is a 10 minute video that walks you through replacing.

Thanks
The left one has drift and when you push down in the thumb stick it moves an extra click

Shoulder button on one of my Joycons is borked, any repair kits for that?

You can get the buttons and/or button ribbons for a couple euro each on AliExpress. Might need a bit of investigation first. is it just the plastic shoulder button or if when you remove the button is the ribbon not responding when you press on it? I would youtube it to see what you need to buy - if you need to replace a ribbon i think itd be no harm getting the control stick set that includes the tools - im expecting to need to replace 1 stick a year. They dont seem to last very long.

No bargains here !

Put your joycons in a box called "break in case of emergency." or "fragile, handle with care"

Get good first, 2nd, 3rd party pro controllers ...!

Thanks for posting that bargain

Sorry, didn't mean it that way. You are right. If you can repair then that's a great option. I just posted cause i was sick of joycon issues

I read your post wrong in that case.

I suppose it would be a good idea to get a pro controller for yourself and save your joycons for when you have a few friends over or you want to play the switch handheld. Would probably save you money in the long run.

had a look for some pro controllers. I'm really tempted by these.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32850861099.html

2 controllers for 28.20 euro including delivery.

Mr E

That's my current controller (for about a month now). They're good! Decent rumble too.

I paid about the same price on Amazon for one of them.

nintendoo

Hmm looks like you can play Majora's Mask on the switch with that controller!

Would the D pad be any good for 2D fighting games?

Considering a lot of Switch pro controllers have rubbish d-pad's it can't be worse. Unless you do the sticky tape fix. My advice would be to get an 8Bitdo controller for 2D fighters.

If you don't mind wired the Venom arcade stick isn't bad for 2D fighters, works on PS4, PC and Xbox One too. PS4 and Xbox support is a little awkward though as you have to connect a controller to the stick to work.

You could always get a RetroBit Saturn pad for fighters either. The Saturn pad is probably the best pad ever made for 2D fighters.

Good to know

Think I can wait for AliExpress delivery if it means I get 2 of them at that price.

I also have the same ones - got them back in 2018 from AliExpress and they are still going strong (although some superglue was required after one was dropped)

These look like decent deals on the eShop

ATV Drift & Tricks €1.75
Syberia 2 €1.49
Invisigun Reloaded €0.99

Really annoyed with myself that I missed that. I had planned to buy it, but put it off. :mad:
Lonely Mountains: Downhill looks like a lovely game, not sure how repetitive though, has anyone played it?

EDIT - Just realised it was only released two days ago..

Just under £32 for a digital copy. Bought my version of Animal Crossing from here and a few other games over the years and never had an issue.

Metroid diorteM

I got it at 1.75 but theres no multiplayer (local or online) like the ps4 version. I played it for maybe 1 hour and haven't played it since.

Invisigun Reloaded is a great game. Im hooked on it. The multiplayer is excellent. The soundtrack is 1 of the best ive heard. So much game for 0.99 and its still that price I think.

Put this in my basket but chickened out in the end. Don't think it would be my type of game but I'm getting the FOMO reading everyone's posts on here about it. I must be one of the few on here not playing it. Might keep an eye out for a decent hardcopy price incase I don't dig it.

I just looked this up. Im not getting the hype. You build a life on an island? Is that it or is there some kind of great multiplayer?

Genuinely asking in case Im missing out on a good game.

it's a cartooney version of The Sims from what I understand...except less task based and more about endless collecting to spruce up house or whatever. Personally I'd avoid it as I prefer more story based games with defined goals.

Is there any easy way to find out what games on the Japanese eShop have English language options?

The likes of Ni No Kuni are down to ~€13 and Death Mark down to ~€8.50.

Very good bargains if they come in English, but I cant find out if either do.

Nearly sure someone on here picked up Ni No Kuni there a while back and there was no English translation.

CiDeRmAn

I was foolish enough to buy both Ni No Kuni and Professor Layton in the sale... neither of which come with and english language option, despite both, as far as I know, have that option in their EU releases.
But, then they were not expensive at all, so not such a waste
