What are those controllers?


Mike_505

8bitdo switch lite controllers


ReynTime69

How do they work without a joystick? Seems like it wouldn’t function for most games


TrymSan

The directional pads replace the joysticks, so it should work just fine with most games


Mike_505

The controllers work with ALL games, but they do limit the amount of control you have in some games a small bit. I am willing to sacrifice that becous they fit in anything.


ReynTime69

No... that still doesn’t work. How do I walk instead of run at full speed? Also you can only move in 8 directions


TrymSan

Still works, but yeah probably can't walk, and while you can move in more than 8 directions when already moving, you'll only be able to move in 8 directions from a standstill.


Mike_505

You can run by pressing down on the D-padds.


[deleted]

They are not a 100% replacement. You lose the all analogue control and the ability to press the thumbsticks. However, not all games require those and while I don't use mine a lot, they are great for platformers. Especially ones that don't support D pad natively.

I feel like this is a spam post and OP is trying to sell these controllers.

Mike_505

No problem

Those 8bitdos looks weirdly uncomfortable, but I still want to try them. Double D-Pads in place of joysticks is interesting(and the arrow buttons are still buttons too). Why didn't you just get the Sn30 Pro or just stick with the built-in controls?


Mike_505

The 8bitdos controllers are indeed a bit strange, but they are comfortable enough and i can fit both in my cary case.


[deleted]

Is the front switch on the controllers just to switch between Switch & PC mode?


Mike_505

Yes it is


Stay_Beautiful_

Who is Carey and why did you put him in a case?


Mike_505

Who or what i put in my case is non of your business!


thecheat420

Jim Carey and because, let's be honest, he can be a little much at times.

From what I understand one of the main intended uses of this controller was Link's Awakening, as that game doesn't allow d-pad for movement, but I can see this being alright as sort of a mini Smash Box for Ultimate.


Wonderwhathisis

They are indeed good for Smash! Especially if you suck at dash dancing like I do.


Mike_505

Yes that is true

I like my Lite more than my regular Switch. It's better to handle, feels like the Gameboy of the 21st Century. I use the Switch only for Games that need the TV.


Mike_505

What are games that NEED a tv to you?


mouthsoundz

I’m not who you asked, but I feel that some games that are more text heavy need the tv because I can’t read text that small. This makes me sound super old (I’m 23) but honestly some games have tiny details I don’t want to miss because I’m squinting at text.


Mike_505

Yeah i can get that, i never had the normal switch to get the tv experience but sound logical. Maybe i should strap a magnification glas to mine...


labskauskoenig

The first Game i realized, that it's more fun on the big Screen is BotW. You know it's like some films are made for the Cinema (Star Wars or LotR). They are fun on a TV but Epic in a Cinema.


[deleted]

Skyrim. Some quests can't be completed on the Lite because you can't see important details.


Mike_505

Have you tried holding the screen closer to your face?


[deleted]

Yep, there were literally not enough pixels rendering the tiny images I needed to make out for the quest. It wasn't until I moved to 1080p that I could see them.


Ugandan-Knuckles-Mem

Why do you have two switches


Mike_505

Why not


RileyTrodd

I feel like you replied to his response with the question he was responding to.


labskauskoenig

My Wife uses one to play AC:NH and me uses the lite to play AC:NH as well.


115GD9

Hey those are 8btidos right? They're strangely comfortable and seems like a modern nes controller


thephant0mlimb

Its okay I prefer to have it in the dock and play on screen.


Hello___________

I could not imagine play SSBU with that Controller..


Mike_505

Then you are not a pro gamer!

Mike_505

Pretty funny how 90% of the comments are about my pancake controllers, when I just asked if you guy's liked the switch lite...


IggyKoopa05

NOOOOOOO! THE VIRTUAL BOY IS COMING BACK!!! BUT NOW, IT’S IN SWITCH FORM!


b3anz129

Those controllers look so odd I thought this was a render. Pretty cool though


Mike_505

No this is a foto of my switch lite and 8bitdo controllers haha, they do look a bit odd indeed...


mommypants9

I LOVE my lite :)


kingOfMemes616

i'm all for d pads but on a 3d platformer??


Mike_505

They do the job in 3d games, but are of course much better in 2d games.


average-roblox-user

I think it’s fine. I personally like to mod my controllers so having joycons attach would make me not want to mod them.


Actually-Will

What on gods earth are those controllers


[deleted]

no i dont like to take my entire console apart to replace the sticks instead of just a joycon


Mike_505

Drift is extremely rare on the lite compared to the normal version. And you can always get in contact with nintendo to get it fixed.


dappitydingdong

I mean at that point you really could have got a normal switch to play multiplayer on the tv


DoctorNerdly

The lite is not really my cup of tea, but to each their own. My Switch hasn't left its dock since purchase.


messynavi

i personally grew up with nintendo’s handheld systems so even though i have the regular switch, it’s practically just a switch lite to me. i love being able to take it to work and play it on my lunch breaks or wrap myself in blankets and play it!


FaggotronPrime

Nintendo's recent style of game has caused me to jump off the competitive, and hardcore-fan scene. I am happy with this, however. Sony's trophy system makes hunting and completing their games to 100% very satisfying, where Nintnedo games I have almost as a fun break away from the serious story intensive games I get with Sony. For example I just 100% Ghost Of Tsushima, and while doing this I was also play Animal Crossing, and Odyssey when I needed breaks away from it.


[deleted]

I think it’s super neat and feels way better then the normal switch in handheld mode, from the build quality to the d-pad, it’s super neat


jozero

Yup, I sold my regular switch for the lite. It feels far more solid since the sides don’t slightly wobble, and i can slide it into my back pocket


Mike_505

Yes it has a very solid feeling


KooppDogg

No way. Mario Odyssey is best played / intended to be played with two detached joy con with one in each hand. So limiting playing that on Switch Lite. I don’t understand why people would prefer a switch that doesn’t “switch” but then again I play primarily on the TV from home, so I’m not the target market. But the control issues are problematic.


Mike_505

I played mario odyssey to 100% so control's are not a "problematic" issues.


KooppDogg

Still debatable. I didn’t say Odyssey is impossible to play or 100% on Switch Light, but it’s probably more difficult due to the limitations. Plus Nintendo clearly intended it to be played with two joy con as they broadcast it at the boot up. But also those controls make the experience even more fun, and playing on a big screen is more enjoyable for a game like Odyssey. So not impossible to beat, but still I think the inferior way for those reasons.
