    You know why I played the games on yuzu? It’s because the joycons suck and they are expensive to replace.

    I did the stick drift repair on my own, but the L and R buttons are soldiered to the main board so it can’t be repaired.

    I bought a right joycon on its own and then the next week the left joycon had the same issue.

    I wasn’t going to spend about $90 for an unreliable controller when an entire steamdeck costs $500.

    It really paints the picture that the controllers are way over priced how can they alone be 20% the cost of the entire steamdeck.

    If Nintendo made decent joycons, then I would not be using Yuzu.

    Additionally, I dumped my own games and keys, so they got their money and through some effort, I got a better experience.

    I’d like to add that the joycons were not heavily used either.

    Honestly, I’m surprised this didn’t happen sooner. Emulating old hardware is one thing, but they have a current vested interest in their most recent console.

    Still, Nintendo’s lawyers can rub spurge on their eyes, and I hope the Yuzu devs find a great lawyer (or better yet, are safely hidden behind some kind of digital or geopolitical veil).

    Oh shit, there’s a working open source switch emulator out there? Thanks Nintendo!

    Aaaaaaaand downloaded the source code, Windows Installer, and Linux installer. Thanks again Nintendo, I really can’t express how thankful I am you brought attention to this!
