@Markiemania95 The issue with the original hardware was too small of a "pivot" in the middle of the D-Pad, which led to unintended presses of directions.
Not an issue for most games, but I found Tetris to be completely unplayable with the original Pro controller - a false "up" would hard drop blocks into unhelpful places. This happened really often.
Couldn't you like... Get another controller... And use splitscreen?
I'm confused as to why this in an issue. For PAC man and 51 Games, they both had specific circumstances where a second player needed their own separate screen. This is not an issue for most other switch games.
@OorWullie Remember when Ubisoft used to port Rayman 2 to everything? It seems Legends has taken that role in recent years but I'd love a port/remaster of 2 on switch. I loved the 3DS version. The 3D in that game was really good too.
@Fizza I agree it's dear for 3 games, but I often find in the regular packs we only end up playing 2 or 3 of the games anyway, so in that context it's not too bad.
@clianvXAi That's fair enough. I normally use RT myself, and I guess the original commenter does too (or maybe they are just speaking from experience/anecdotally).
@Silly_G I've put in 48:26 according to my activity log.
I've played it 456 separate times. To be honest, most of the times I boot it up are just to collect the daily picrites from training. I don't actively play the game all that much.
I'm interested in this, but I don't really understand the aesthetics. I think it'd work better if they went for colourful, jolly Mario Kart-esque visuals instead of the slightly dreary realistic look they've gone for.
I really like the 3D feature. I just wish there was a model with 3D that also has the superior ergonomics of the 2DS XL. I can't go back to the smaller screen of the new 3DS, but the new 3DS XL is just way too chunky.

Re: Hot Patootie! There's A Rocky Horror Show Retro Platformer On The eShop
@stevep It was a stage show first, called The Rocky Horror Show.
Re: Metroid Prime Engineer Calls Out Nintendo, Says Not Crediting OG Devs In Remaster Is "Petty And Ridiculous"
Aren't the people who worked on the original game still credited in the original game? I assume Nintendo hasn't had every GameCube disc destroyed.
Genuinely fail to see the issue. They are credited for the work they did in the game that they produced.
Do they want to take credit for the remaster as well? They didn't work on it.
Re: 'Hear Us Niantic' Trends On Social Media In Response To Pokémon GO Remote Raids Update
Maybe people who can't participate in in-person raids could.... Play a different game?
Re: Pokémon Game Boy Titles Dominate 3DS eShop Charts Ahead Of Service Closure
@Nua You can't actually transfer the Mew you mentioned to Pokémon Bank. The software recognises that it is illegitimate.
Re: Thunderful Games' 3DS And Wii U eShop Sale Is Now Live (EU)
Virtue's Last Reward is incredible. Can't recommend it enough.
As are the Steamworld games.
Re: Star Fox 64 Follow-Up Title Was Pitched For Wii U, But Retro Studios Passed On It
Retro clearly passed on this so they could pursue their dream project of not releasing any games for a decade.
Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Sales Overtake Splatoon 3
This game deserves every sale. Keep it up Game Freak!!
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best New Pokémon Design In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet?
Scovillian for me. Didn't like Capsakid, but was absolutely delighted when I saw the evo!
Also a Tandemaus/Maushold fan.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Is The "Biggest" Launch Ever For A Video Game In Japan
Very well deserved, you can tell Game Freak put a lot of love into these games!
Re: Feature: 30 Things You Might Have Missed In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
@Glrd Unbelievable. I had thought that they increased friendship my entire life.
Re: Feature: 30 Things You Might Have Missed In Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
I thought Premier Balls slightly boosted friendship of Pokémon caught with them?
Re: Random: Nintendo Doesn't Want You To Get Mario Party Blisters This Time Around
I ignored this warning in Superstars and ended up with a blister on my palm. It really hurt. Do not recommend.

Not an issue with the updated model!
Re: Random: Turns Out You Can Make The GameCube's Game Boy Player A Lot Better
@Markiemania95 The switch Pro d-Pad was faulty when it first came out, but after the hardware revision I think it's excellent now
Re: Overwatch 2 Player Calculates '5 Year' F2P Grind To Unlock New Hero's Cosmetics
I think there's definitely a balance to be struck in f2p games. Overwatch sadly doesn't hit the mark.
Re: Mini Review: Penko Park - A Worthy Spiritual Successor To Pokémon Snap
@AstraeaV Also, a series that received a new entry last year doesn't need a spiritual successor.
Re: Chibi-Robo Director Doesn't Think Skip Ltd Will Release Another Entry In The Series
I'm ashamed to admit the only Chibi Robo game I l've played is Zip Lash... Which I didn't hate tbh.
I'd love Nintendo release an HD remaster of the GameCube game.

Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Version 1.1.1 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@BenAV Completely agreed, what a disappointment this game turned out to be.
Re: Random: Splatoon 3's Shiver Appears To Be Nintendo's First Major Non-Binary Character
@unoclay I feel like Birdo was intended to be trans, but Nintendo have retconned her to be cis.
However I still see her as a trans woman.
Re: Random: Splatoon 3's Shiver Appears To Be Nintendo's First Major Non-Binary Character
I'm very happy for those that are non-binary, to see themselves represented more in video games.
This doesn't affect anyone negatively in the slightest, so I'm all for it
Re: Pac-Man World: Re-Pac Frame Rate, Resolution, And File Size For Switch Seemingly Revealed
@Rayquaza2510 I'm happy with 30FPS tbh.
It's the "up to" wording that concerns me.
If the game isn't optimised to run at a smooth 30, it isn't ready for release.
Re: Pac-Man World: Re-Pac Frame Rate, Resolution, And File Size For Switch Seemingly Revealed
"Up to 30FPS"
Up to.
For a 20 year old game.
Yikes.
Re: Nintendo Reports Drop In Sales For Q1- Should We Be Worried?
Multi-billion dollar company reports small drop in sales.
"Should we be worried?"
Have to be honest, I'm more worried about my energy bills and the cost of living crisis.
Re: There's A New Pokémon GO 'Auto-Catcher' On The Market
@Damo That's good to know, however it seems the Gotcha runs fine on iOS too.
If anyone has used this on Android, please let me know how you get on.
Re: There's A New Pokémon GO 'Auto-Catcher' On The Market
I wonder if this works? I bought a Gotcha a few weeks ago and it is simply a defective product.
If you are on Android, avoid like the plague.
Re: Ubisoft Closing Online Services For Three Wii U Titles This September
@OorWullie Remember when Ubisoft used to port Rayman 2 to everything? It seems Legends has taken that role in recent years but I'd love a port/remaster of 2 on switch. I loved the 3DS version. The 3D in that game was really good too.
Re: Nintendo Launches Subscription Service For Switch Repairs In Japan
@Kilamanjaro have you considered repairing the joy con yourself? The cost of a replacement analogue stick is very cheap and it's a simple repair.
Not ideal - the products should not be intentionally defective in the first place - but it should save you some money.
Re: Play Some Of The Best Jackbox Games With None Of The Filler In 'The Jackbox Party Starter'
@Fizza I agree it's dear for 3 games, but I often find in the regular packs we only end up playing 2 or 3 of the games anyway, so in that context it's not too bad.
Re: The First Review For Mario Strikers: Battle League Is Now In
@Vyacheslav333 I was being flippant to be honest. I know they've given lower scores. It just seems very rare.
Re: Bump Your Enemies Off The Edge In 'Motos', The Next Arcade Archives Game
A Pacman version of this is included in Pacman Museum+. Same game I think, just with a different skin.
Re: The First Review For Mario Strikers: Battle League Is Now In
Has Famitsu ever awarded a score below 32?
Re: Nintendo Files New Company Copyrights For Illumination Mario Movie
@clianvXAi That's fair enough. I normally use RT myself, and I guess the original commenter does too (or maybe they are just speaking from experience/anecdotally).
Re: Nintendo Files New Company Copyrights For Illumination Mario Movie
@clianvXAi Conversely, Clifford has a 91% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and Tom and Jerry has 81%.
Re: Random: Do Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney's Outfits Harbour A Revealing Secret?
@nessisonett Is this something hinted at in the later games?
I've only played the original trilogy (on the 3rd case of Apollo Justice) and I've not had this impression at all.
Re: Thunderful Reveals Three More SteamWorld Games Are In Development
I would love Dig 3. Just bought 2 on 3DS so playing through that again, reminded me how much I love those games!
Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch In Taiwan, Sparking Rumours Of A Port
If they let us buy this as DLC for Skyrim I might be interested. Otherwise, not buying Skyrim again. I barely played the Switch version.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Dev Says Converting Motion Controls Was "The Hardest Thing"
I'm so thankful that this game got a release with button controls. I hated it on the Wii but Tantalus did a great job with this port.

@Pillowpants Same here! Don't think I'm far off unlocking all the content without spending a penny. Not too shabby!
Re: Disney's Upcoming Free-To-Play Switch Racer Reveals A Second Jungle Book Racer
I'm interested in this, but I don't really understand the aesthetics. I think it'd work better if they went for colourful, jolly Mario Kart-esque visuals instead of the slightly dreary realistic look they've gone for.
Re: Pre-orders For Mario Strikers: Battle League Football Gets You A Free Cosy Scarf (UK)
That's actually a fantastic pre order bonus. Almost worth paying the inflated prices on the My Nintendo store.
Re: Ace Attorney Trilogy Will Be Discontinued On Mobile And Replaced With Console Port Version
No free upgrade is a scumbag move from Capcom imo.
Re: Talking Point: 3DS Is 11 Years Old, And Our Eyes Still Feel Strange
I really like the 3D feature. I just wish there was a model with 3D that also has the superior ergonomics of the 2DS XL. I can't go back to the smaller screen of the new 3DS, but the new 3DS XL is just way too chunky.
Re: Shin'en Kicks Off 'Everything Must Go' 3DS And Wii U eShop Sale, Up To 80% Off
Love this! Shame I own every one of these games already 😂
Hopefully more publishers follow suit. I'd love for the Capcom sale to come to Europe as well so I can pick up the last Ace Attorney game.
Re: Pokémon's Diamond And Pearl Remakes Have Been Updated To Version 1.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
When are they going to add Pokémon Home support?! It's taking so long for what should be a simple update for such a big company.
Re: Random: 'Nintendo Generation' Skeletons Aren't Tough Enough, Says US Army Major
I think it's more likely to do with diet than it is inactivity. The food eaten in the US is often lacking in nutrition.
Re: Feature: 29 Best 3DS eShop Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
Denpa men 2 and 3 are way, way better than the first. I prefer 2 myself. It's a fantastic little RPG (by the Pokémon Colosseum developers).
Re: Puzzle & Dragons Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This Week
Why does it have an upfront cost when it's going to have microtransactions anyway?
Re: Surprise! SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off Has Just Launched On Nintendo Switch
That price point is astonishing. Wow.
