You tried the electrical contact cleaner or air-duster fix? Sorted the drift out on my left Joycon a couple of months ago and haven't had an issue since.

This is why we need a Fighter Pass 2-to get in all the new Nintendo characters from the last few years. If Pass 1 is for 3rd Party Reps, they could do a 2 with:

Rex and Pyra
Springman/Ribbon Girl
Edelgard
Astral Chain protagonist

And then they can finish it off with a Sword/Shield rep.

I'm not super keen on opening up my joycons >,>. Tho I just looked up the air duster fix and might give that a go.

EuroGamer review (the intro to it, anyway) makes me want to play this. But I'd need a Switch. :lol:

That launch trailer :datass:

Shame they never released a Switch system bundle with this attached. I can see this bringing in a lot of on the fence consumers who may not be the biggest fans of Nintendo’s own IP.

Definitely going to be picking this up eventually, but not at launch. I go on holiday a week later and I've got too many other things already on the go. By the time I got around to playing this I'd be able to pick it up for about a tenner less than launch price.

Wasn't particularly interested before those review scores in. Annoying that you can never really wait for a price drop on big Switch releases.

Wow, so blasting some air into the sticks really did help improve it. Thanks dude. I can't believe a small issue like that can affect drift. That seems like a huge design oversight for some expensive controllers.

I'm glad it helped sort the issue out, mate. I really hope Nintendo have made some changes to the analogue sticks with the new Switch models.

Back in stock at CDkeys, £41.79 for a digital copy. Was tempted yesterday after the praise it's gotten, went to buy but was out of stock. Back in stock now but came to my senses that I have more than enough to work my way through so will get it later this year.

Yeah, I'm holding off too, Kj. The game looks terrific and it's gonna be hard to resist in the run-up to launch, but I wouldn't really play it for some time any way and so (gnnnh!) I'll wait.

Looks great, but DMC5 is now on game pass, and to my uninformed eyes they look kinda similar?
I have played plenty of Platinum games, but only a Demo of DMC when it released on PS2 wayyy back.
Maybe I will pick it (AC) up down the road (or if it really offers something very different that I'm not really picking up on from the reviews I have read).
