sorted byBit hard to imagine how a stand would brick the console but hey ho...
That’s charging docks. This is just a stand.
This isn’t a third party stand though, so I don’t get why it needed to be commented. This is essentially Nintendo’s own one because they’re always recommending this one and it’s the only one been sold from day one and on the Nintendo Store website.
Hori have a good reputation and their stuff is licensed by Nintendo.
Troll comment?
Unfortunately there have been reports of bricked Switches just by using third party Stands.
And a licensed one at it!
Yeah that's usually how I justify duplicate purchases to my Mrs... but I never do lol... I just end up with two... or three... haha.
Switch is such a money pit for cool accessories....
Yeah. I don't usually go bonkers over cases and accessories but switch has sucked me in...
I have two 8bitdo controllers, a wired Zelda and thanks to the deal last week here two Pro controllers one black and one splatoon on the way!
4 cases now... an extra charger.. and the stand... I really want the arcade stand from amazon at a tenner at mo... but I know the wife will moan ha.
I didn't know about the arcade stand until I read your post. Looks good, thanks
On etsy and ebay they have ones with designs on them for £30.
i think I’m gonna go plain and sticker myself - like the pics on amazon reviews - on reddit some people have Done amazing ones
Damn; you’re right!
but heat for the price as it is worth 8 quid... you can get cheaper unlicensed ones.. but the quality usually isn't as good from my experience. (edited)
You can always sell it to CeX and get the other one
I have this too but have only used it once or twice otherwise I’d be thinking about the other one too. (edited)
you’ll be glad you didn’t see the deal I posted. New wired controller designs that look amazing (edited)
Ha id seen them on Nintendo life - yeah there are some cool ones there - I have the same model as those but in the current Zelda design and its nice but ive never used it! ha.
Different models and yeah I would never used wired myself either, especially since I have had two pro controllers since last year (the original one in April and second one was the Splatoon one I preordered- wouldn’t have got the first one if I had known about the second one! Ended up keeping both anyway )
Oh they look the same model to me but different skins - there was a deal at smyths for 17.99 for the Zelda and Mario one and even though id probably prefer Mario stuff I have a Zelda dock sock and Zelda leather screen case thing - so I went for the matching effect and I liked it was mostly black!
I think its the Nyko ones causing issues from what I have read.
Different models apparently the new design ones were better as they were heavier and had better controls or something
THis is a joke right. This is a piece of plastic. There's no connection to the switch whatsoever. You need some sort of mad witch craft for this to brick anything. In fact you've more chance an actual brick bricking your switch than this.
^^^^ and the 3DS was the same. They had a cool retro case for the 3DS from Argos
There’s a metal one by PowerA which is super Mario which might interest you
I have a kind of opposite situation. I’ve never had anything Hori before but I found this good enough (albeit, a little confusing) (edited)
The stand is fairly weak, and if you want your switch to be a bit higher then this is what you need
