I bought a nitro deck but they never sent me my shipment and they blamed it on the shipping company lol still haven’t gotten my purchase. Edit: it just came in lol
@@RetroDodo That and I already have a really nice grip. It fits around the entire switch to make it more comfortable to hold and. Has a carrying case too.
@@Guitario666I got a nexigo gripcon. It's the solar system looking one with rgb lights on it. It's cheaper and works grt, it has the same setup as the nitro deck. I also have the fixture s2, the hori pads and binboks which are like the hori pads except they have rgb lights and rumble. I ordered the limited run edition of the nitro deck and canceled my order. Glad I did...I got plenty of grips lol. I also got the sastifye grip and the skull and Co grip if I wanted to use joy cons....for whatever reason 😂. But yeah....outside of the joy sticks on the nitro deck, I don't see any reason to get this.
I’ll have to look up that nexigo one. I might order this tho. It looks great. I love the steam deck form factor and this looks close. I also love the split pad pros. The new TOTK ones are great
Those shoulder buttons sound so cheap like from a Binbok or Doby controller. The kickstand that doesn't even lock properly just screams cheap. They are marketing this as a premium accessory with a stupid 'collectible' NFC feature. Reminds me of the Souja Boy handheld, which is just a rebranded Chinese, cheap handheld.
So many handhelds and grip addons with loud ass buttons. The shoulder buttons are usually the worst. It makes it impossible to play with someone else in the room, especially at night. I wish the designers would pay more attention to the noise issue. Apart from the official Switch joycons the Miyoo Mini Plus, Anbernic RG353P, and Logitech G Cloud are the only ones I've found so far that are night-gaming friendly (and I've tried A LOT!)
The Gamcube deco I could take or leave. But I do like the idea of the bottom bar connecting the sides, my joycon rails are a bit loose and it makes the whole console feel wobbly.
This review convinced me not to buy this. I like the details you go over like the clicky loud buttons and the flimsy kickstand. The next version for the Switch 2 will probably nail it though.
I play my switch mostly in handheld, which has caused my joy cons to disconnect from my switch even thought they’re still locked in place. The nitrodeck completely erases that problem it is a little bulky but honestly comfortable. I’m excited to use it even more now!
hows that been working for ya? i like how th nitro deck has a bunch of different colors. I do see that they recently made the Pro. so im stumped on what to get. i do want one in order to play in handheld better. i own a satisfy grip but have been using that for yeaaars. i wanna change it up now. Whats your take on this and the price?
@@alz397 Im still really enjoying it! I mostly play handheld and it’s definitely been worth it. I only have the first model but I’d recommend the pro, it has pretty much all the same features and a few extras but they fixed some of the button/stick layout to make it more ergonomic. I got the travel case with it and I literally take it everywhere and it’s still holding up well. No stick drift, laggy/sticky buttons. It’s worth it and a much better alternative than joycons if you play majority in handheld. Without a doubt best accessory I’ve bought for my switch
I got mine the other day. The reach between joystick and face buttons is a tad bit uncomfortable even with rather large hands. Besides that, I love it. The SNES scheme is beautiful
Got mine in the mail yesterday. If you have small-medium hands like me, this thing will be the most premium grip you've ever held. No other third party grip that ive tried comes close. The concerns about the right stick have been put to rest for me. Its plenty comfortable where it is. Could it be higher? Sure. But as it is its no problem.
No. I comfortably use every DualShock controller, GameCube controllers, Xbox One controllers, and the Wii U Pro controller. If you find those comfortable, then you might dislike the Nitro Deck.
@@pp3k3jamail it was a big part of my childhood and some of my favorite games of all time were on there. Sure I like it. I like other stuff as well so I’m not putting anything else down. Not sure what’s funny about that.
There’s some great ideas which look inspired by the steam deck, but it does look (and sound) quite cheap. The kick stand is utterly bizarre - why would you connect another controller to it when the system has a kick stand?
I think it looks like it would cost more than it's going price. I do agree about the sound of it though. The idea with the kickstand is that if you don't want to disconnect the deck to play table top mode. The stand should be more adjustable though.
Would the removal of the OLED switch wear out the back side of Special Edition TOTK or the screen itself with time? Read this as a potential hazard on some comments
I just bought one waited until I could get the full package for $50 downloaded V2 firmware. They must have improved the latest batch I was impressed with the quality no issues with construction I'm really liking mine no complaints huge improvement over using a grip and Joycons. Nothing low quality imo.
I got the nitro deck on Amazon just to try out and if I didn’t like it I would just return it, I honestly love it, I couldnt put it down and I have a modded switch OLED so I’ve been playing Xbox cloud gaming and it just plays great with it
This seems like a cool product, I don't like that you have to touch the screen in order to get the switch out of the nitro deck . Means a screen clean is required after every removal
That's pretty dope. I was at Best Buy last night looking at the switch. Might get a lite over the Logitech (a little pricey) but this set up right here is awesome to me.
Preordered my mint version last week from Argos. Looks insanely good. Fingers crossed it delivers the goods. I'm optimistic! Keep up the great work too 👍
First video I'm watching of you, love your OCD, I'd be the exact same (still getting the Nitro Deck) PS: Comment about partner complaining about shoulder button sounds - yeah, that's us exactly :D
I’m going to nitpick just a bit. If they were trying to replicate the GameCube controller, the yellow right stick should have actually been the grey left stick instead. It’s a tiny nitpick but it does bother me slightly.
@@Daniel-rm5hz they mean the texture on top, not the color. The grey left stick on the gc controller had that concentric ring grip that you see on the yellow one on the nitro deck
This is okay looks really good I love the look but man I can get a cheaper handheld that's better at everything unless you jailbreak switch I think its useless and this is coming from a guy that was super excited for the release of the switch when I tried it I knew it was useless to what it advertised maybe if you're a kid it's good but I'd rather save up for a steam deck makes so much more sense. For a oled switch it's still like 250 or more it cost more than a ps4 pro after ps5 release and then you have to pay for some games that are 50 each or some even cost more limited free games you have to pay to play old games in a subscription. With the steam deck I can play like pretty much most of the good switch games and all the retro games free and pc games even heard people playing ps3 and to add to it you can legit buy a retro cover that looks like the GC or even other like N64 and Saga
Am I the only one who thinks it misses the mark on the GameCube look? The texture on the left analog stick should look like what’s on the right one, and then the right one should have a smaller cap and a little C on it… and then the face buttons don’t feel like the right color, and they’re weirdly glossy
I've watched another video and he said that the holder left some scratches at the back of his switch. If i'm gonna use that maybe i'll put some non slip band or something thin and smooth that don't make a direct contact on the back of my switch.
I canceled my limited run one. I got a nexigo gripcon and its literally the same thing basically without the cool colors but does have rgb lights if u care about that 😂
I don't know. They build quality seems to be pretty poor. Anything over $50 seems like a bad deal to me. I like the idea of having larger grips to make the switch more comfortable to use. But, it can't cost 1/3 of the system itself and be built so poorly.
Even the best build quality in the universe with this type of kit doesn't deserve to be pricier than the Pro Controller, unless it also supports video out somehow.
I wish the d-pad and right joystick were in more, with a staggard arrangement.
Me too
It’d be hard without drastically altering the size of them tbh
does is scratch the back of the switch, I have the Zelda special edition and don't wanna scratch the design
No, not yet.
@@RetroDodo thanks for the reply :)
I hate how most of these products don't fit in the dock. Dealbreaker for me
Then it's not for you lol
@@bryanmurphy1524 no shit you absolute pinecone that's why I said it's a dealbreaker FOR ME.

They as loud as the Series S/X controllers wow 👎🏻👎🏻

Controller grip case is a cool idea, but quality does not look anywhere near good.

Right?

Split Pad Compacts, and Pros usually don't rattle.
Tempting but it doesnt look like €100+ value even with the hall-effect sticks
Seems pretty cool. Been keeping up with it these past few weeks but the loudness of the buttons is actually very off putting.
It looks amazing, but the loud ass buttons are a huge turn off for me
I do not like sliding that thing in and out… I prefer my consoles without smudges and scratches. Touching the screen to remove it?! Screw that, man!

Thank you for the review my good sir! We hope you get some quality use of your Deck! 👊
Thank you!
Please make one for the Switch 2! I love the design of this but I feel its a bit late to invest in accessories for my Switch at this point.
Got mine in the mail yesterday. If you have small-medium hands like me, this thing will be the most premium grip you've ever held. No other third party grip that ive tried comes close. The concerns about the right stick have been put to rest for me. Its plenty comfortable where it is. Could it be higher? Sure. But as it is its no problem.
I'm definitely gonna need to pick up one of these. I play mostly in handheld mode, so this looks real nice
Beautiful grip. This was a easy preorder at the reveal for me. Can’t wait to get it! Got me excited for collecting physical Switch games again.
Hope you enjoy it!
Just got mine today... Gamechanger ..no pun
This might sound dumb, but i want one that looks like a wiiu gamepad
I hate to say this but I kinda regret mine. The triggers are way to mushy and I don’t like that feel of it.
I believe you had to really press the kickstand down in able to make it flush with the Deck again. Simply tapping it won't do the trick.
They need to bring back cartridges I miss that sound
I haven't been into the handheld trend lately because I got caught up with mini PCs. This video is a refreshing watch. Nice to see you again, B!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does the nitro deck feel good while gaming? Looks dope
No. I comfortably use every DualShock controller, GameCube controllers, Xbox One controllers, and the Wii U Pro controller. If you find those comfortable, then you might dislike the Nitro Deck.
Amazed Nintendo hasn't made something like this already
Nintendo doesn’t make stuff people want sometimes lol. I’ve been wanting a patch for Pokémon violet but all I get is a middle finger from Nintendo
@@DeezNutzHotNintendo doesn't make Pokemon, game freak does, so they're the ones giving you the middle finger
@@Lackofstyle nintendo owns Pokémon though
@@DeezNutzHot No they do not. They share the rights with the Game Freak and Creatures inc
I believe it’s worth it for me because I travel for work.
7:44 gahh!! did you really put it outside on the wet ground in the rain? 😆
Definitely want one of these. Anything GameCube related is usually an instant buy for me but not sure about the price point on these.
You liked the game cub lmao

I'm getting it, but one without the case. Been annoyed by switch ergonomics a lot lately especially after getting used to Steam Deck's
That thing looks really awesome I don't need it though but I do love everything about it Nintendo switch OLED would look really good with this
Would the removal of the OLED switch wear out the back side of Special Edition TOTK or the screen itself with time? Read this as a potential hazard on some comments
I have the same question.
I just bought one waited until I could get the full package for $50 downloaded V2 firmware. They must have improved the latest batch I was impressed with the quality no issues with construction I'm really liking mine no complaints huge improvement over using a grip and Joycons. Nothing low quality imo.
Has it go with scratching the back? I have the Zelda switch so not sure if I should get it
I got the nitro deck on Amazon just to try out and if I didn’t like it I would just return it, I honestly love it, I couldnt put it down and I have a modded switch OLED so I’ve been playing Xbox cloud gaming and it just plays great with it
I have the same one and I love it. I actually like the Joy-Cons but both pairs I had some kind of defect after a while.
This seems like a cool product, I don't like that you have to touch the screen in order to get the switch out of the nitro deck . Means a screen clean is required after every removal
No, there's nothing groundbreaking a bout this than the others. Collectible? yeah right..
That's pretty dope. I was at Best Buy last night looking at the switch. Might get a lite over the Logitech (a little pricey) but this set up right here is awesome to me.
Beautiful grip, but the fact it drains the already kinda short battery life of the switch even faster makes it a no-buy from me
The only downside with controllers like that you can’t play let’s go eevee or pikachu because they don’t support pro controller witch is so stupid
BUY THE RETROFLAG ONE IT'S CHEAPER AND HAS ALL THE SAME FEATURES EXCEPT PADDLES AND HAS MORE ACCURATE STICK CAPS
I’ve programmed the back buttons to L and R in case i wanna be stealthy
A little late to the party are they not? I mean with the Switch successor coming out is this even relevant at this point?
@5:42 not gonna lie you said it well and also my heart murmurmed a little lol
They should have replicate the OLED's wide kickstand... instead of creating another Switch gen 1 stick kickstand..🧐😕🥸🤯
But can we get actual GameCube games on Switch though?…
I just wish Nintendo would make something like this that feels exactly like the Pro Controller.
I got the Super NES version. Looking forward to it!
Nice!!
This is a great concept, badly executed
I would considered this but then I remembered I have a steam deck
still a good purchase for the nintendo switch
I always wanted a grip I can tactical reload
That looks fire 🔥
I got a red one and I like it quite a bit
3:16 That spring ping was horrible
Would be tempted to open it to fix/lube that mechanical keyboard style. Would help with that rattle as well
Can't wait to get mine!
Preordered my mint version last week from Argos. Looks insanely good. Fingers crossed it delivers the goods. I'm optimistic!
Keep up the great work too 👍

Agreed, we mention this in our written review. 😫

I don't understand. Isn't the right c stick the yellow one? At least in the US it was
@@Daniel-rm5hz they mean the texture on top, not the color. The grey left stick on the gc controller had that concentric ring grip that you see on the yellow one on the nitro deck
Even without someone else to be annoyed by clicking L & R buttons, I will be. Never liked clicking, give me SNES/N64 style.
I NEVER pre-order anything, but this was an easy pre-order. I ordered the black AND white grips

Yeah I think you got a faulty one because that kickstand isn't suppose to be like that. At all.
Is it for the regular or oled. if its for both does the oled stick out or does the origional not fill the nitro, or do they have two sizes for both?
Yes. The answer is yes. One of the best controllers I have ever gotten. Ordering another one asap.
Did you ever get that kickstand back in properly?
buttons so loud that it feels like there's a speaker just for that
😂😂
does it support gyro?
ps is killing Nintendo
Looks cheap as hell.
4:00 ight imma head out
Does every nitro deck come with a carrying case?
No, only nostalgia series.
Got mine yesterday the kick stand stays in so it might just be yours
sounds cheap to me
The whole thing looks cheap, but it isn't.
Im getting the black one this thing is sick. The black one is amazing!
Kinda pricey.
Jakiś bubel dostałeś stopka z tyłu powinna się zamykać i trzymać na swoim miejscu😢
get a steam deck
does it have the joycondrift issue ?
No it has hall joysticks
The black option is so sleeeeeeeeeek!! Definitely interested in this!!
hopefully the plastic isn't cheap
Lol reviewing a product your clueless about must be a new thing "ooo what's that, hmm what does this do...." haha
Like your honesty. That button isn't a massive issue but for the problem you highlight mean I might be keeping somebody awake at night... Thank you
You’re welcome, thanks for watching.
lol the IGN guy apparently had an issue removing his switch from the Deck but yours seems fine.
Can confirm, is very easy to remove.
Making the retro colors 30€/£ more expensive than the Black/white version is a bad move. Plus calling them limited edition makes it even worse.
They come with a limited edition carrying case, that why
