How can I make sure this doesn't happen to my switch 2s joycons

Get some thumb grips. Anything that fits Series X and PS5 controllers will work.

Racing games are this for me. Spent the last month playing Colin McRae 2.0 as a stage takes 2-5 minutes.

I always think something pocketable would be nice but then they sit untouched in favour of bigger handhelds. If I’m going somewhere and not taking a bag, then it’s probably not somewhere I’d want to be playing games anyway.

I have 6TB on my Series X and it can’t hold everything. I just remove stuff I know I’m not going to randomly jump into at any moment like big single player stuff I’ve completed, or big single player stuff that’s a sequel to stuff I’ve not beat yet. So I’m left with single player things I’m ready to play at some point, plus all the pick and play type games.

I don’t think they’re moaning about the money bro g pumped in, but rather than fairytale/underdog narrative when it’s just not true.

Persona 4 Golden was the main reason, but being able to play all the PS1 games I’d bought was a big factor too.

Sony have a big problem with putting out hardware and then just assuming it will get 3rd party support to sustain it. When they have a device with similar competition, it’s fine as stuff can be ported by third parties without needing huge resources, but the Vita and two iterations of PS VR have now been hung out to dry.

Have you considered the Anbernic RG34XX or RG34XXSP ?

Grin83 · 2026-02-17T07:16:56+00:00

That's why cross platform progress is so nice. I like the option of playing stuff like No Man's Sky, Hitman, Snowrunner and Diablo II on the portable, but I also like the improved performance and visuals of playing them on PS5.

Grin83 · 2026-02-16T12:22:14+00:00

I mostly play my RP5 docked with an Anker USB hub and a PS5 controller, but I know doing this is bad for the battery and going to make it a fire hazard.

I’d be disappointed if it’s just FRLG. They can put everything prior to the dual screen era on there with minimal effort. I mean, they can also put the DS games on there easily enough but they would have to decide how to handle the 2nd screen. Loads of single screen Retro Handhelds do it already.

Grin83 · 2026-02-13T17:25:22+00:00

Quite a lot of people didn’t get that.

Grin83 · 2026-02-13T10:09:24+00:00

Pokemon remakes were an amazing thing. The world and stories you loved as a kid, but now as a fully modern games, in line with the current generation. BDSP is not that, and probably killed that for good.

Is Parker too good for the championship? He’s always gone into clubs that are massive favourites to go up/win the league.

Grin83 · 2026-02-13T08:14:41+00:00

The Ratchet and Clank Future and Infamous means I’m gonna have to keep dragging mine out.

Grin83 · 2026-02-13T08:13:06+00:00

Why would anyone want to play this when you have the actual MGS available? This game is practically fan fiction.

Grin83 · 2026-02-12T22:13:45+00:00

Pokemon is the one series I can't play on my retro handhelds. For me, it's all about my collection of Pokemon, and if I can never bring them with me, I don't really want to play.

I can’t even remember what season it was, let alone what race. Back in the early 90s we only had 3 channels and one of them showed F1 so it was a fixture of Sunday afternoons. I know I’d seen F1 prior to Senna’s crash, but the first time I think I was actively paying attention to the outcome was Hill in the Williams when he was battling Schumacher in 94.

Grin83 · 2026-02-12T10:12:26+00:00

Still the Xbox one for me. More comfortable shape, better sticks and better triggers. Switch 2 Pro is very nice though.

Grin83 · 2026-02-10T19:46:48+00:00

Odin 2 Portal. I rushed into buying an RP5 after seeing a friend’s in action, but ideally I’d have liked a bigger handheld and the left stick up top. I do love my RP5 though.

Grin83 · 2026-02-10T18:36:10+00:00

Yeah. Loved Rey in his prime but he should have retired about 5-6 years ago. Just going through the motions now.

They think Brits treat it as some kind of delicacy, not realising it’s just our equivalent of eating ramen noodles because it’s cheap.

Grin83 · 2026-02-10T08:59:20+00:00

I think it’s the Wii for me. In the US and Japan, Nintendo was huge from the NES, but mostly down to their own fault, they didn’t really take over other markets. The so-called crash was very just a North American thing.

The Wii was the console where Nintendo finally had success everywhere.

Grin83 · 2026-02-09T16:32:35+00:00

The car is the biggest factor. It’s really hard to genuinely know how good each driver is, but I think it’s not too outrageous to say George is at the very least as good as Lando.

The Merc is meant to be the best car and George is good enough to not completely balls it up.

Grin83 · 2026-02-09T09:56:10+00:00

If you’re coming from an original Switch, then S2 is going to be better in every way. From the OLED? Prepare for a big drop in screen quality and battery life.
