NookNinja Member Jan 15, 2025 504 tokyo Switch 2 is hype. hype season is here. God knows that I am more hyped about this than anyone. But there is one section of the hardware I feel they really fucked up The damn Joycon trofts on sides of the tablet are colored. WHY Should have been like this man, i swear to god. what the hell were they thinking? I buy all the joycon colors. What are they going to do? make a green joycon with blue and red inside?! WHAT THE FUCK. my OCD is not ready for this.. I legit might not buy more joycon because of this.  Wrexis Member Nov 4, 2017 29,759 NookNinja said: Should have been like this man, i swear to god. what the hell were they thinking? Click to expand... Click to shrink... "The blue one goes in the blue slot, the red one goes in the red slot." I can see why they did it.  OhhEldenRing Member Aug 14, 2024 2,964 Maybe they'll have a plain grey Switch2 at some point like the OG and absent the joy con. I suspect those internal colours are specific to the joy cons they are packaged with. Still doesn't solve your problem lol  PapaJustify Member Nov 3, 2017 1,325 Germany What if they are not selling new colors seperately anymore but only in a Switch 2 bundle with the matching color on the device? Or they do sell seperately but you have to live with matching a green Joy-Con insert with a blue port on your Switch 2.  Aleh Member Oct 27, 2017 20,211 It's silly but annoying yeah. At least it won't be a real issue since you can't see the mismatch when they're attached   Liam Allen-Miller Member Nov 2, 2017 8,037 Shibuya NookNinja said: [...] I buy all the joycon colors.

Well, I don't want to tell you what to do with your money, but maybe not having to buy every color Joy-Con isn't such a bad thing! :P Real talk I have to imagine future units will have different color schemes. When I was looking at the demo unit at my local Bic Camera I was thinking the same thing, that it was an odd choice.  Pentagon Member Mar 14, 2025 73 Much like themes, you're going to get two colours the whole generation and you're going to like it, dammit!   Dukie85 Chicken Chaser Member Oct 25, 2017 3,165 NookNinja said: Switch 2 is hype. hype season is here.

I'm more annoyed by the first image not working :P   Shahadan Member Oct 27, 2017 5,620 Bluer and Redder edition Or they will color the black part and leave the blue and red for maximum ugliness. Or better yet they change the inner colors but release a switch 2 model with matching trofts, each time. You'll have to buy them all  KaladinSB Member Oct 27, 2017 844 They have the PLUS and MINUS indicator so the inner plastic doesn't have to color match. You'd only have to push through the agony for a few seconds when you see the green joycon going in or out of the blue slot or train yourself to do it blindfolded.   OP OP NookNinja Member Jan 15, 2025 504 tokyo i hate that there is color on the inside of the grooves. infuriating. It will bother me every time I put something that doesnt match it on there.

PLEASE GOD.  Delaney Member Oct 25, 2017 3,947 Maybe the joycons this time around do something like the Chroma Dualsenses while keeping the blue-orange inside.   OP OP NookNinja Member Jan 15, 2025 504 tokyo Delaney said: Maybe the joycons this time around do something like the Chroma Dualsenses while keeping the blue-orange inside.

Our conversation with director Junya Ishizaki continues as we dive into his favorite FromSoftware game and who he plays in Nightreign.

FromSoftware games are renowned for their hack-and-slash and spellslinging action, but Nightreign makes the archery experience feel fluid, too.

Finding churches where a Statue of Marika is located should be among the first stops when starting a run.

A new patch could make it easier to take FromSoftware's new game on by yourself.

Playing FromSoftware's new multiplayer game might be a little challenging with Valve's portable console.

So you want to kill a nightlord?

It’s official: Elden Ring Nightreign is a success for Bandai Namco and FromSoftware, shipping over two million copies in less than a day. However, there are still plenty of issues, not the least of which includes unbalanced solo play. Thankfully, the development team is aware and confirmed a patch for next week. Patch 1.02 will increase the amount of Runes earned during solo expeditions and also allows for automatically reviving once after defeat during night boss battles. Other bug fixes are also inbound, though we’ll find out more details when the patch notes go live. Elden Ring Nightreign is available on Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox One for $39.99. Check out our review, where we scored it an eight out of ten, praising the signature FromSoftware combat, art direction and overall rogue-like approach. While it’s not a live-service title, it will receive additional DLC in Q4 2025. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime. Nightfarers,Thank you for playing #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN. Next week, Patch 1.02 will be released, and will include several bug fixes as well as improvements for solo expeditions.Further details will be provided next week.— ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) May 30, 2025 The following improvements for solo expeditions will be added to the game:– The effect "Automatic Revival Upon Defeat", which allows revival once per night boss battle, will be added to solo expeditions.– The amount of runes gained will be increased.Thank you for your support.— ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) May 30, 2025

Elden Ring Nightreign is another bona fide success for Bandai Namco and FromSoftware, peaking at just under 314,000 concurrent players on Steam. It also saw over two million shipments and digital sales worldwide on its first day. However, some players have reported issues with matchmaking. The developer initially recommended restarting the matchmaking process when attempting an expedition. Those on PS4 and PS5 may also want to check their NAT Type by going into the Settings and checking Connection Status. NAT type 3 can affect matchmaking for those connecting to the PlayStation Network. How you fix this is a different question, but that could be the root cause. FromSoftware has confirmed a new patch this week, though its biggest fixes target solo players. It will allow for reviving once per night boss upon dying and increase the amount of Runes earned from solo expeditions. Stay tuned for more details when it goes live. Elden Ring Nightreign is available for Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. Check out our review. Nightfarers, If you encounter issues finding other players when launching an expedition in #ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN, please try restarting the matchmaking process. Thank you for your patience and understanding.— ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) May 31, 2025 Nightfarers,If you have difficulty matchmaking on PS4 & PS5, please check your NAT type. NAT type 3 may affect matchmaking on PSN.Check your NAT type with the following steps:Home > Settings > Network > Connection Status > Check Connection StatusThank you for your support.— ELDEN RING (@ELDENRING) May 31, 2025
