Pro controller for switch on sale at Walmart and Amazon for $55. That seems like a good deal

Is there a way to re-calibrate the control stick(s) on a PS4 Dualshock controller? The left stick on my primary unit (heh) has gone a little wonky; games don't seem to read when I'm full forward, player avatars react weirdly at times. It's annoying, but not to the point where it completely scuppers gameplay. Yet.

I know a guy at Sony that can get you one for chea..., oh.

I've had that happen to me with my original PS4 controller. I took it apart to see if there was anything I could do to fix it, but it was still the same. I bought another controller, in the end.Is there a way to re-calibrate the control stick(s) on a PS4 Dualshock controller?

Man, I love Nintendo's UI. Easy to use, attractive, simple. Tis a shame all of my Wii e-store games aren't compatible with the Switch, but it is what it is.

Nice. Agree. I've been home sick for 2 days and had to do some QC testing of my own. It's going to be hard waiting until Christmas. I was going to set up kids under family plan and link accounts, but it appears they can't carry on those accounts to full nes accounts after their of age, so I think I have to just add users or make fake accounts-Had Switch shipped to work to keep the porch pirates away

I'm also pretty annoyed that Mario party can only be played with joy cons and I have 4 of those and a pro controller for 5 of us.

Got Smash Bros the other day... Haven't had much time to play yet. Was annoyed to find out that you can use gamecube controllers with it, but need an adapter... Which of course is already backlogged past Christmas.
My own fault for not looking into that sooner but still annoying. Doesn't present an issue for me solo, but was hoping to maybe get a big mp session going on xmas... Just have the pro and the joy cons now.

Can most games (Switch) be played with the two controllers that come with it? We're going cheap on this initially to see how the kids like it.

I finished up Insomnia: The Ark. I really wanted to be able to recommend this game. I like the graphics and gameplay, and the setting of the game (a run-down interstellar generation ship) and the art style are both great. It plays as a third-person RPG like the Witcher, and the art style is reminiscent of something like Bioshock. Games like this are right up my alley. But the game is still really buggy even after several patches, and the story is a mess. The ending video for the ending I got didn't even play correctly, and the whole ending section of the game was really bugged. Moreover, the ending was vague and really didn't make any sense. Given that the developers are Russian, parts of the story may be getting lost in translation. There are two main story lines. One just kinds of peters out with no real resolution, and the other is so opaque and confusing that even at the end of the game I really didn't understand what was going on. Very disappointing.

It appears that way. It's really an amazing machine and feels very well built, but I'm having a tough time getting used to how small the controllers are. I'm glad I got a pro controller.Can most games (Switch) be played with the two controllers that come with it? We're going cheap on this initially to see how the kids like it.

You're right, because you can only pick 3 players

those that have a switch, do you have the online service? I just noticed you can get access to regular NES games through this service. Is it worth it? I may sign up just to order these

regarding the online subscription if you do have it, I can't seem to find out if the yearly individual will cover my kids as I added them as users on the switch (they are not registered linked accounts, but just users to play on that console) or if I should go the family route.

I only looked because I thought maybe it was different for the Switch port which would have been a bummer.Maybe I'm the one who hasn't played in forever...

I talked to Nintendo. Individual account is only good for that one individual who signs up. Family plan covers 8 people, but they can't just be added users on the console, they have to have a Nintendo id associated to it.I would like to know more about this as well.those that have a switch, do you have the online service?

Which brings up my next question. All 3 of my kids are under 13 so I could sign them up on children accounts through me, but when the become of age to not qualify as a child account, they can't carry that account over to an individual Nintendo id account. I'm guessing it makes more sense for me to make them all registered accounts and just lie about their age so they always have their accounts with all of their history tied to it and invite them in the the family plan that way (I believe this is what I had to do with Xbox)? Thoughts?
Video Games
Or maybe I just keep them as users on the console and just get the individual plan for me, save $15 towards those awesome controllers and they can play the retro games under my name since online play is still free for Nintendo
