My original one used to do that. Sent it to Nintendo for a return, and never had the problem since. All my Pro controllers after have been fine in that respect. I tried. Went to settings and purposely mashed the edge of the Dpad buttons to intentionally make false inputs... but I can't.
No headphone jack is a downside, but not for me, as I use a wired setup from a DAC or just use surround sound.

Also have to agree the Pro Controller is probably my favourite of all time. It just feels so...right in my hands. The analogue sticks, face buttons, and shoulder buttons all feel perfect. I do, however, understand any criticisms of the d-pad or the lack of analog triggers.
I find the d-pad to be serviceable, but often not ideal for precise maneuvers (Tetris comes to mind). I've had at least one controller which has had this worse than another - I wonder if this is either (i) a QC issue or (ii) the d-pad got silently revised at some point. Either way, I agree the d-pad isn't perfect, but I personally couldn't give you an example of one that is.
Analog triggers? Hot take, but other than for certain genres, I don't think we're missing much here. In fact, in a lot of games I find that holding down analog triggers can be quite tiresome. In a future revision I'd like to see a happy medium - something like the Xbox Elite controller where you have analog triggers with adjustable stop distances; or the Dualsense where this is context-sensitive.
Speaking of the Dualsense, while I appreciate how Sony have tried to innovate with it...I overall don't really like the controller, and would say I prefer the Dualshock 4. It all comes down to ergonomics really, and in that area it feels like a downgrade from DS4 in practically every way. The new rumble features are kinda neat but I personally find they walk a fine line between immersive and intrusive. I've also generally not had the best luck with Sony controllers. To this day, Dualshock 3 is the only controller I've ever experienced drift on (and I've been primarily a Switch gamer for 5 years!); my DS4 randomly decided to stop connecting to consoles (with no solution in sight); and my first Dualsense arrived with dodgy face buttons.
Xbox has an all-round solid controller, I just wish they'd innovate a bit more (give us gyro at least!). It's my preferred controller for PC, however I find it just a bit chunkier in my hands than the Pro Controller. I also tried out the Elite Controller but couldn't get into it due to its weight.
i am confused with Bayonetta 3 file size,theres two confliting sources regarding this, Nintendo site state Bayonetta 3 file size is gonna be 16 GB, but the eShop show is 13.4GB, i believe on Nintendo site or on the eShop? both the internacional Nintendo and brazilian site/eShop show this information.
@Buizel Analog triggers? Hot take, but other than for certain genres, I don't think we're missing much here. In fact, in a lot of games I find that holding down analog triggers can be quite tiresome.
Agree 100%. For very specific games they're crucial- notably racing games. But for everything else (aka 99.9% of everything I play) digital is preferred. I hate having to press down a squishy analog trigger with long travel range when a simple button press is all that's needed. Imo, Switch Pro gets a +1 pt for digital triggers. Though I do agree, something context sensitive like Dualsense could be preferred, but only if every single game that doesn't require analog would lock it to a button press, which is doubtful. It also sucks battery life like crazy.
As for the d-pad, I know the early models were plagued with the issue of false inputs. But the more recent models got a taller pivot, just enough to keep it from happening. I actually love the Pro Controller Dpad quite a bit. At least, for the overwhelming majority of games I play. The only one it's inadequate for is Street Fighter (and, I imagine, other fighters requiring complex inputs).
My actual biggest gripe with the Pro Controller was the rubbery convex analogs. With sweat they can slip. I had mine modded to use Xbox Elite style analogs that magnetically detach. But they're WAY better than actual Xbox analogs. These are concave, larger and more shallow, the perfect size for your thumb to melt right on center. They're so good. I absolutely love my modded Pro Controller now. It's as close to perfect any controller I've owned has come.

I prefer the symmetrical analog buttons for PS4 / PlayStation style controller than the asymmetrical analog buttons controller like Switch / XBOX controller since I play games such as DDR that I need exactly same button schemes as DDR Pad on Arcade so my thumbs can navigate the buttons to beat the arrows quickly.
It's hard to believe I've been waiting over 30 years now for a proper Mario movie. The sheer brand power of Mario is astounding. It's crazy its taken this long (literally my entire life approaching 40 yrs old).
I understand why. Bad content damages the brand, and there was a whole slew of it in the early years (Super Mario Bros movie, Zelda CDi games, etc). Nintendo got very protective after that.
But its time. It's definitely time. Given the quality of the Pikmin short films, Miamoto's involvement, Illumination's pedigree, and Nintendo's desire to ensure this is a top shelf product with extreme care taken in respecting original material, I think the Mario movie has a shot at being the greatest video game movie of all time.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good $80 CAD games. I think I'm passing on Pokemon Violet, that last trailer kinda turned me off from it and I have high anxiety when it comes to buying things (I stress over buying things like crazy), I like to plan ahead.
Ok! Nier Automata and No Man's Sky have both released!
Now, a week from Thursday is Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope. And the day after is Persona 5 Royal. The week after that is Bayonetta 3.
Get ready.

@Eagly I wouldn't be surprised if it's around 40% off a few weeks after launch in the Black Friday sales, that's what Ubisoft's non-AC Fall season games have done since 2020. Same can be said about Holiday season games and the New Years sale.
