The “joycons” don’t bring me joy. They make my hands cramp and are only full of cons.

I think the joy cons make it great for party games, it's really convenient to get a 4 player game of Mario Cart going with just two pairs of joy cons.

Yeah until someone gets one with drift

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You're supposed to drift in Mario Kart! /s

Third parties do it for me. Sadly, I wish Nintendo would release official ergonomic joy cons. Instead I must buy something Chinese with questionable QC, to get something fully featured compared to the feature-neutered but high-quality Hori licensed ones.

No offense, but I and all my friends enjoy the joycons a lot. It's been wonderful in college and out. I have a sneaking suspicion the people complaining about the switch are not the... target audience anyway.
