And Xbox sold as much as PS in Japan this past week.

And not because PS sales dropped, but because Xbox sales grew. About 6,000 or so each. It feels like the twilight zone.

Thinking about it, most of the already confirmed 2nd half of 2022 releases are franchises which got their own Directs or other events with past entries. Splatoon and Splatoon 2 got their own Directs, XCX and XC2 got their own Directs, Bayonetta 2 got its own Direct, BotW had its own E3, etc.

So I could see a lot more game/franchise specific Directs happening this year. Not necessarily replacing the June and September general Directs but perhaps accompanying them so the general Direct pacing is like the February 2022 Direct if you remove the Switch Sports volleyball demonstration.

@JaxonH Not really Switch related but did you see that Horizon Forbidden West has gyro controls?

It's off by default, but at least the option is there. Progress is progress!

@IceClimbers
Oh ya, I definitely saw it.

And then Fortnite right after. I made a post saying between those two games, one online and one single player, it could spark gyro going mainstream like it did on Switch after Zelda and Splatoon.

And, with XIM Nexus controller now making all Xbox games playable with gyro (and PS4, if you play on PS4 and not PS5), and many PS games now going to Steam where you can map gyro, and all Switch games having gyro...

I feel like we've made it. This is it. The promised land. I'm playing every single game with gyro now.

Never again will we have to return to the dark ages of input methods, forever wallowing in the analog ghetto

@JaxonH Fortnite did spark crossplay between Playstation and Xbox so hopefully it sparks Microsoft to create a 1st party Xbox controller with gyro.

@DarthNocturnal
I keep saying, XIM Nexus!

$149.99, it's as ergonomic as Switch Pro, with the triggers and buttons of Series X, the best gyro I've ever used and configs for hundreds of the most popular games. And 4 back buttons.

Screw waiting for Microsoft to add gyro and then waiting 2 more decades for devs to start adding it in and standardize it. Take matters into your own hands. Gyro aiming on Xbox games right now- the heck with waiting!

Has anyone ever seen joycons update wirelessly? I have an OLED, and when I booted up Switch Sports with a split joycon, I got a screen saying it was updating those joycons and they weren't plugged in. Has anyone else seen this? Is this new?

(That's the Switch Sports loading screen background)

@WoomyNNYes was that the first time loading switch sports?
Has the Bluetooth codec been updated for the OLED? That might explain how this can occur

I can't get over how in Switch Sports, Bowling starts off like every other game all happy like and then, in the most kid-friendly font imaginable, just says 'Survive to the end'. WHAT.

@Rambler No, it wasn't my first time booting up Switch Sports. But I noticed it wirelessly updated the first time I booted Switch Sports with the OLED white joycons.

@CactusMan That's the switch self destruct code. Nice try. (jk😁)

Anyone like my new avatar?

@WoomyNNYes I think the OLED joycons are of an updated design, so maybe part of that is that they can update wirelessly. And for whatever reason switch sports requires them to be updated (rather than just generally)..?

Rambler

WoomyNNYes

@Rambler Yeah, my sentences were messy. I cleaned it up. Yeah, maybe the newer White OLED joycons can update wirelessly. I've never seen older controllers update that weren't plugged in.

Ya, controllers (including joycon) can update wirelessly on Switch if they’re paired with the system.

There's no hype discussion thread for Advance Wars Reboot Camp. These are sad times.

Retro gaming is too damn expensive.

@SnackPop
It’s a little ways out, still.

Ppl are still playing Pokémon Legends Arceus, playing Triangle Strategy demo, playing Nintendo Switch Sports online test, and looking forward to Kirby Forgotten Land.

After Kirby releases and we get into April, you’ll see the Advance Wars discussions start up, I’m sure.

There's nothing to discuss really. It's just two old games remade with a new art style and online, there's nothing to speculate about. Any discussion was just based on the initial announcement and surprise of Advance Wars being back in any form.

Fair points. If these weren't solely 1:1 remakes and added new content like new units, COs and story missions, then there would be a lot more to talk about.

I've pre-ordered that, @SnackPop .... Missed out on the originals, so I'm looking forward to the Reboot!
