Looks like you can get hall effect replacement sticks for the Switch now.

I never got drift on my old Switch but this will be good to keep in mind for my OLED unit.

Nice, never opened up any joycons but I have a couple now that are drifting might be worth buying a pile of those replacement sticks to cover for when they all start to go. Shame the site doesn’t seem to give a price for them.

[speedlolita]

Looks like they are listed on Amazon, though they're not cheap. Available in packs of two or four.

Pricy indeed however if they no longer drift & wear out then in the long run worth the cost. Thanks for the link speedy got those suckers on my wish list now.

[speedlolita]

Yeah I totally agree, worth it to replace drifting sticks and not having to worry about it again.

[samanosuke]

Do the sticks in the Pro controller suffer from drift as well? I had the original set of Joycons that came with my switch go but the replacement set I bought have been fine so far, touch wood. The Pro sticks feel much more solid.

Dokapon Kingdom Connect, a remake of Dokapon Kingdom with online multiplayer, has been announced for Switch.

[briareos_kerensky]

Rumors about a remake of Baten Kaitos, handled by Monolith, have started circulating.

Rumors about a remake of Baten Kaitos, handled by Monolith, have started circulating.

You wonder if it'll just have action combat though. Like they'll bring back the name, but make something totally different, like the recent Valkyrie Profile

[briareos_kerensky]

Baten Kaitos is defined by its card-based battle system though.
A remake of BK also needs brand new locations, so it's quite the workload.

[Neon Ignition]

Baton Kaitos is a bad choice for a revival, hopefully they aren't going down that rabbit hole

[briareos_kerensky]

Dokapon Kingdom Connect has been announced by Idea Factory for release in both US and Europe for "spring 2023", with preorders already live.
The Japanese release date is April 13...might pick up one copy while I'm there.

A report that Nintendo is increasing production of Switch for the next financial year to 21m

A move that would pretty much cement that Switch 2 won't even see an announcement let alone a release this side of April 2024
