Gonna be honest I hope they do but I also home they make it with bigger controllers. The issue I had with the switch is the joycons were so small it hurt to play for more than 20 min at a time
I read somewhere that one of the rumors is the joycons are going to be bigger and there's also a rumor about them being magnetic ๐คท
Hal effect would be great but I don't think they'll do it they made so much money off of joycon sales
I think the rumor was about them attaching magnetically to the main unit, not that the joysticks would be Hall effect.
Do they? I thought they replace stick drift joycons for free. I guess it depends on how many people take advantage of that vs. buying a new set of controllers.
Yes the magnetic rummor is quite big and i have concern with that. But hey surprise me better Nintendo
I think rumours about them being magnetic stem from the patent they filed a few years ago. Bigger could mean more ergonomic, so that could be good.
I wouldnโt count on it since kids are their target market. I highly recommend taking matters into your own hands (lol) and buying adult-sized joycons with Hall effect sticks
Nyxi Hyperion/Pros or Hori Split Pads. Hyperions retain all of the features of joycons minus NFC and IR sensor, and have generic rumble, but also have RGB lights, macro buttons, and turbo Hori pads are very basic, have no features and are not wireless, but are pretty cheap.
I use the Hori splits myself.
My daily driver. I have the Hori Split Compacts, but ended up with the Nyxi because I really wanted wireless, motion controls, and rumble. Split Compacts are awesome! I wish the Hyperions were closer to that size and shape and had the added supports on the back.
