Never understand why people think this technology is expensive. The real costs in the Switch are the screen, memory chips and the main nvidia chipset not minor circuit board components. Why would they think the material cost or manufacture of these would be expensive? This is not why the Switch is expensive and is only a small feature. It doesn't matter if it's used or not you aren't paying a premium because of these low cost minor components. If anything these are lower cost than the large rumble motors that some other controllers use that are based on rotating heavier weights and have the cost of the motor itself. It may actually be a cost saving over those.

Exactly, plus I don't see why people are so against it, it's just the next gen of rumble tech.

Most reviewers were actually quite convinced by the HD rumble implemented in Mario Kart, apparently immitates ground textures.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

Some games in 1-2 Switch make very good use of HD rumble like Soda shaking, cow milking, safe cracker and marble guessing. Especially marble guessing, I am an expert here. These games wouldn't be half as good without HD rumble or even possible. I'm eager to find out how developers will use it in future games.

Its nice on Fast RMX, you can feel the grooves in the track. Very subtle, but also effective.

Anyone played Blaster Master Zero or Wonder Boy? The former has some interesting HD rumble usage while the latter is very subtle.

Don't care about it, never have. Switch has the best implementation yet, but it's still a huge meh. I'd trade rumble for a quality dpad in a flash, just like I'd trade rumble on the DS4 for a better battery. I'm not complaining about it, but meh.

I find it way better than the normal rumble which I normally felt to overpowering. These LRA have less power but more frequencies, and in some cases you do notice and appreciate it.

I remember reading about that you would be able to feel the ground. Did a quick search before and nothing came up.

Maybe I judged the marble guessing too early, but wasn't floored by my initial impression. I agree with the first two though, like I mention in the OP the soda bubbles are in there somehow.

Haven't really noticed it. Fast RMX had pretty good rumble but nothing incredible. I think the Xbox One trigger rumble whatever is still better. Hopefully I'll play a game in the future that takes full advantage.

I love it, it feels very authentic in 1-2 Switch, but I feel it is underused in Zelda.

I remain very impressed by the Joy-cons' rumble and will look forward to trying it in more games. Boring comment, I know. But true!



dahuman on 25 April 2017

I think if it's well implemented then I shouldn't even have to notice that it's there when a game is trying to show me something. If different feed back shows me different game mechanics during a tutorial then I'd know what they are for, then it's good enough during game play.

Yes, the soda bubbles are amazing! It's one of our favorite games.
