The_Yahtz09 04/23/20 4:17:33 PM #18:	Its the best handheld on the market. It has a bunch of great games. Would I get it over a normal switch? No, but I value playing on my TV quite a bit.

Bio1590 04/24/20 11:58:46 AM #25:	On regular Joycons the stick drift is inevitable because it's a parts/hardware issue and not a software issue, much like something with the RROD. Some people get it with minimal usage, some people sue theirs a ton and somehow it still hasn't happened, but eventually it will. The Switch Lite still hasn't been out long enough to know how much of an issue it'll be but given they're just permanently-attached Joycons it'll eventually happen all the same. --- https://imgur.com/bbRWLI8 https:/i.imgur.com/S1m3po4.jpg https://imgur.com/A0BErSV https://imgur.com/7fCcfko <cite>Bio1590 posted [p:938002031] in Is there a...
