As someone who was on the fence about the original Nitro Deck, the Nitro Deck+ will be something I’ll pickup. While the variety of colors are great, the stick layout kept me from purchasing. I might wait a tad longer after the pre-order session to see if they release some more colors.

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

I don't mind the stick layout but I understand it depends on the sort of games you play

I didn’t like the look of the original but this one has been an instant pre order for me it looks like the FPS king and there’s loads of great fps games on the switch I want to try out.

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

I feel like this one has been designed with a different market in mind, and as you say a focus on FPS seems about right. Hopefully it will be a success and we will continue to see innovation from this company

@Volcocysaurus 3 месяца назад

I think that it’s a great idea to make it even better, but my main question would be, Will people even care? The new features seem like they are going to be really good, but if people already like the current one and find it near perfect, why make an upgraded one? Also great video

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

Thank you! I think it has an aesthetic that will sell better. Like the DS Lite Vs the original DS. It just looks more modern and will appeal to a wider audience. I agree though it was an unexpected move, especially so late in the Switch's life cycle

@frostedbutts4340 3 месяца назад

Honestly near the end is great timing.. there are lots of 'orphan' Switches out there with missing or broken docks and controllers. Seems like a good all in one for that.

@octolockg5059 2 месяца назад

The ND+, according to CRKD, is meant to be a different option rather than a brand new upgrade. Just in case you don't like the original, the plus is just them listening to community feedback. Which I gotta say 6 months and they've made that many changes is just crazy.

@angryguymwa 2 месяца назад

I pre-ordered the Nitro Deck Plus although I really hate the colors for it. I'm also worried that the normal Nitro Deck might be better (which I didn't pick up). Ultimately I might end up ordering the original if I don't like the Plus. Won't know until April though, assuming it even ships out by then.

@JoeBleeps 2 месяца назад

I'm sure they will bring out more colour schemes for it soon

@calibomber209 3 месяца назад

My reasoning for preordering the new one was because it came w a mini dock. Usb c to hdmi and the clear white shell. But I think the Og one is better for button bashing. I think the new one will cause hand cramps. I wish they had one with Bluetooth and a built in battery w better rumble. I used it as a controller but the wire even at 15ft is not enough. A wireless controller feature would be nice.

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

Going by this release, they clearly listen to their customers and keep creating new products, so who knows what developments might come next!

@lew87ys 3 месяца назад

Does it connect to the switch with the side rails? My side rails are broke so the normal joycons just slip out. Was hoping this connects a different way

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

It does but also there's the usb c that holds it in place so it might be better than the joy cons

Wii U was not a successful console. The button layout on the Wii U gamepad was super confortable. Shame Nintendo did not reuse the same button layout for Switch. Valve did use the button layout for the Steam Deck. You'll love it.

I like my Nitro Deck well enough, but I would love some company to produce a dock controller using the exact same layout as the steam deck with buttons and joysticks at the top. As it stands the Nitro Deck+ will be good for FPS and other games that need both joysticks constantly, but anything that doesn't will be noticeably worse.

It's going to be hard to judge before trying it out. The quality of life improvements are great, they address a lot of my minor problems with the first one. But the stick layout is geared up towards FPS, I'm thinking. And that's not really what I play. But who knows, I could end up loving it!

It’s disappointing that the right stick got switched with the face buttons. I was hoping the next iteration would have the face buttons and dpad positioned diagonally instead in-line. I’m certain it would be more comfortable that way.

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

A lot of people seem excited about the new layout, all depends what games you play I suppose. I'd have preferred the old layout but moved upwards a little

@namrepmek 3 месяца назад

The right hand side is still crappy for large hands. The stick and button placement is still awful and ergonomically uncomfortable.

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

See I was thinking the Nitro Deck would be good for larger hands

@TheRealAlpha2 3 месяца назад

If I cared about having a switch, beyond what ever other features it offers, this would certainly be the controller I'd choose. I hate the constant asymmetrical design, it doesn't improve ergonomics at all to me and just seems awkward. In most 3d games my thumbs are constantly on the sticks for movement and camera and not having them off angle is just more natural to me. Honestly, asymmetry just seems like an arbitrary design choice and everyone except Sony leaped on it.

@JoeBleeps 3 месяца назад

I'm curious to try this layout
