Topic	Are you going to get the Switch 2?
adjl 01/19/25 12:06:55 PM #44:	ConfusedTorchic posted... pop the screws out, pop the sd card slot off, pop the heatshield off, maybe consider replacing the thermal paste on it with something slightly better, boom, battery, unplug it, yoinky sploinky it, bada bing bada boom done, ten minutes All of which is significantly more involved than "open cover, replace battery, close cover." Again, it's definitely a possible home repair, but it's something nobody's going to attempt unless they're comfortable dismantling electronics. Replacing the battery in a gamepad or 3DS is much more in line with what a typical consumer can be expected to handle. CyborgSage00x0 posted... Again, while true, this should take a very long time, even after continual usage. Which is still technically is a negative, sure, but this should theoretically happen long after the console has run it's lifespan, and I mean long after. I'm actually stunned with your even heavy Wii U usage that you got it that point in 12 years. Should be more like 20. I can't chime in, since I basically abandoned my Wii U after the Switch came out. Since getting the Switch, my WiiU usage has mostly boiled down to using it for Netflix for a couple years (before it got phased out) and occasionally playing Mario Kart, but the gamepad has stayed on the charging station for a big chunk of that. That's probably contributed to the battery degradation, particularly where I was already noticing some loss of battery life by the time the Switch rolled around. Meanwhile, I've used my Switch more than my WiiU, and I haven't noticed any loss of battery life for it, so either I've just been better about charging it, the battery itself is of higher quality, and/or its charging procedure is better for preserving battery lifespan (given that it's expected to spend a significant amount of time docked, this wouldn't surprise me). Damn_Underscore posted... It's definitely true that the Switch is full of ports/remasters and sequels, but If you haven't owned a Nintendo console since the gamecube it should be about time by now. A lot of those "ports" and "sequels" will be brand new to you by now Most of the ports/remasters on the Switch have been of WiiU games, which make sense to port because like five people bought a WiiU. Quite a few of those ports have not only outsold their WiiU versions, but outsold the WiiU itself, so obviously it was a good move on Nintendo's part. --- This is my signature.
