Leave the colour for the screen. Less is more in home decor.

 

Next these people will be asking for a neon led flashing bezel around their tv screens.

They think their lounge should look like a car from the Fast & The Furious franchise.

The fact you've put Snitch tells us all we need to know about the sophistication of your tastes.

 

You don’t call it the Snitch? Oh Ben. It’s Snitch, or Twitch...never Switch.

I was rocking one neon red & one neon yellow for a while which was nice. Back to double yellows now though. 

[smac]

I can see mine [edit: pro controller] right now, across the room, proudly in view. Heck, the grips are so bright I can see it at night.

[Gorf King]

Ah, Switch. The console of the social gamer.

[Sarlaccfood]

I don't remember the good-looking people doing that in the reveal trailer!

Alright, the mobile aspect of the Switch was advantageous yesterday evening. I left the front end of my house devoid of light to ward off any trick-or-treaters, and instead played my Switch in another room.

 

Hah. I did exactly the same after turning off my doorbell too.

Mario switch arriving tomorrow (with blood red joycons to let my enemies know I will dip them in their blood if they cross me). I have wonderfully manly strong hands. These joycons look like they are made for women and children. (grunts). How essential is the pro controller? 

[Gorf King]

For me, completely. For others, not at all. I guess you have to try the joycons and decide for yourself.

[Protocol Penguin]

Personally, I find the Joycons too small and fiddly to use. So I use the Pro controller, and don't use the machine as a handheld.

[CovisGod]

Yeah I’m in the Pro Controller brigade,

 

same as others, huge hands and the thumb sticks are too fiddly to use for anything that requires precision.

 

I find myself not wanting to play Zelda in Handheld mode because I can imagine it’s too fiddly. I probably should have held off buying a Pro Controller and learnt to play with the Joycons, I find myself not wanting to play in Handheld mode now

[DarhkFox]

I do find i dont like playing splatoon 2 and mario odyssey in handheld mode due to the motion controls. Works better on tv.

[Protocol Penguin]

Yeah, motion controls are sadly rather awkward in handheld mode. Using the magnet power in Breath of the Wild I found excruciating. 

[Fletch]

I use the holder thingy that came with the Switch and I don't have a problem with it, playing handheld is no bother either but I'll probably pick up a Pro controller at some point too.

I'm comfortable playing with both, but the game pushes you to use the joycons. Honestly though, I've not found any moves I can't do with the pro controller and I've been using it more now I'm post game and on trickier platforming sections. It is an awesome controller.

Thanks everyone. Stan do you use them with the controller holder thing or split like the good old Wii mote and nun chuck combo

Yeah I use them split for Mario but I generally use the pro controller for everything else. 

[milko]

Split for Odyssey, in the grip for Kart, so far for me.

Grip in the streets, split in the sheets?

[Azrael]

Used the joycon in the grip for Zelda and have never had an issue with it during the 120 odd hours I've played.

 

Have only played Odyssey in handheld mode so far and again no issues other than not really being able to properly pull off some motion control required moves. 

[Kevvy Metal]

I bought the Pro controller, but I actually prefer the Joy Cons, often in the grip. 

Ive got Trump hands though.

What these guys said. Joycons are ok in a pinch, but my left one had the dreaded disconnect issue, and I have mahoosive hands (seriously, the joycon disappear from view when I close my hand around them), so I bought a pro controller very early on and haven't regretted it one jot. It's a great little controller. I do use the switch in handheld mode a lot, and the joycons are perfectly fine for that, but individually and in their grip, no no no. 

[Majora]

Pro is a necessity, anyone who says otherwise has the hands of an infant.

[Shimmyhill]

Pro all the way, Joy con are fine as handheld but hideous in the dog thing and I can’t quite love them separated but have used them that way lots on Zelda when portable.

 

I actually wish I could use the Pro on PS4, would be incredible on shooters as already has hairline triggers!

[Captain Kelsten]

Also, this question gets asked every two days. Can we add something to the thread title and first post around essential accessories including cases, screen protectors and pro controllers??

Are you arguing that that the SNES is NOT a grey console?

I've played in handheld mode for 90% of my time with BotW, and never had an issue with the motion controls, for magnesis, arrow aiming, or anything.  The only time I had issues was when the train started to go around corners or accelerate, which caused the sensors to misread.

 

So if these are rather awkward, I must be a god with a pro controller.

 

 

[NickC]

I'm pro Pro controller.

 

My mate who agrees with the notion of telling others their large and comfy handheld input preferences on video game forums is pro pro Pro controller.

I have hands large enough to grip a basketball from the top one handed, and I find them fine. Surprisingly comfortable in fact when split, which from reading this thread I hadn’t expected. I will definitely get a Pro at some point this month, but I don’t think it’s an essential.

 

I wouldn’t want to use the dog face set up for hours and hours, but it’s surprisingly decent nonetheless.
