Same here! I think they're holding out until sales dip bc the special editions have all sold like hotcakes. The 3DS special editions all sold out regardless of the model and really carried them through the dark days of the Wii U. So I think that Nintendo is holding back until they need to move a couple million units to hit sales goals, then they'll release the kraken.

I would MAYBE considering buying a third model if they end up making a special edition that I really like. The third model would be "my" Switch, but I really don't need it as most of my gaming is done after the kids go to sleep, so I just play one of their models. Having the family online plan is nice because I can transfer my save files between Switches easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartman | 195 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 ORIGINAL STORY 27/1/21: The European Consumer Organisation (BEUC), the EU's joint consumer programme, has called for a Europe-wide investigation into Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift after receiving more than 25,000 complaints from numerous countries. The group has now submitted its own complaints to the European Commission and national consumer protection authorities around Europe, based on its rules surrounding "premature obsolescence and misleading omissions of key consumer information on the basis of the EU's Unfair Commercial Practices Directive". In the vast majority of cases - 88 per cent - Nintendo Switch owners reported issues with their Joy-Con controllers within the first two years of use, the BEUC said. Complaints have been received from Switch owners in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia and Greece. After 25k complaints, EU calls for investigation into Nintendo Switch Joy-Con drift • Eurogamer.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutling | 31 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I have never used my joycons at all. Literally never touched them lol. I bought a pro controller day I bought my switch, and its been docked ever since. I got mine at launch, so im sure probably would suffer from it if used.

While I wish I could get one cheaper, it speaks to how amazing this console is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I didn't get to watch the Direct so I'm still getting caught up on the news. Legend of Mana is an interesting one. It's actually kinda funny how many PS1 games have been ported / remade for Switch. I'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're paying for a system Nintendo (and any company) should give you a "free" game. I'd certainly rather have that than a "carrying case" which is what Nintendo threw in their last limited bundle. BUT, you do make a good point.

I'll go with neither and continue to charge $60 for 4-5 year old games bc Fans refuse to pay less for $300 Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
