nice. been waiting for this for a while.

old switch had several problems with the joycons. I buy a replacement set of joycons and the same problems happened. Joycon drift, buttons not working and problems charging. I wasn't about to put more money into it after that.

Might jump on this with a pro controller to boot.

have to admit: I'm not a handheld console person since the PSP, but this new one is something I might consider getting in time.

they gum up over time, especially if not used frequently.
Some CRC electrical spray solves it, at least for my kid.

Switch's come with a docking station, a device to place the joy cons on to make a traditional controller and a HDMI cable. It can solely be a TV console if you so desire.

The joycons were definitely a weak point on the Switch.
It’s great that the Switch 2 plays Switch 1 games. Big plus there.

Glad they replaced the joycons "sliding in" to magnetic snap-on.

Hopefully they fixed the drifting and failing buttons too.
