I haven’t gotten a Switch 2 (probably will when there’s more exclusive games), but I’m definitely going to avoid the Joycons as much as possible and just use my 8bitdo Ultimate and my old Pro Controller (which has been modded with Hall Effect sticks).

Are they? If you didn’t buy the game with the intent of lending/reselling later I feel they’re even worse than code-in-a-box.

Not surprising considering that most 3rd party games are:

1. Ports of old games so anyone who has a PS5/Xbox/PC can get them for cheaper.
2. Overpriced ports as well, and in a system that is already rather expensive.
3. Game Key Cards which won’t appeal to collectors who could still buy them despite #1 and #2.

While I agree with the overall message, I’d say this is on Nintendo for not doing proper communication on the topic. They must know this is a major concern for most people who had a Switch.

Yes, I get they don’t want to acknowledge the drift problem publicly, but surely someone on their marketing team can still come up with a way to discuss the improvements they made and alleviate fears.

There’s a lot of videos and articles like this one discussing how Stage 1-1 of Super Mario Bros for the NES is a cleverly designed tutorial for the core game mechanics.

I’ve been using backloggery.com for more than 15 years.

It’s a simple, manual site, but I think that’s also its main strenght - I’ve had too many issues with other sites where I wanted to add a niche game I played but it was not in their databases, inconsistent naming between games in the same series, no ability to add duplicates when I occasionally double-diped on a game and so on.

It has all features I need - you can add reviews, notes, track priorities, wishlist, borrowed games, make custom lists, get stats… it’s also community supported with no ads.

The site was a bit stale without development for a while, but Drumble (the owner) finished a major rewrite last year and started developing new features again. You can check his profile here for an example.

The review chart is hilarious.

Doubt Sony or the developer expected this would happen.
