Re: Switch Joy-Con Drift Claim Must Be Arbitrated, Says Illinois Federal Court

I’ve even had drift in a Pro controller, and with that went years of faith in Nintendo hardware. I still trust their software to do what it’s supposed to, and be of top quality. Just sadly, no longer confident with them as a whole. In some defense, I’ve had issues with Sony and Microsoft this generation, those controllers were submitted to community use, so a bit rougher with more variables, but I’ve still been less than enamored with the industry as a whole when it comes to controllers.

Re: Angry Players Are Starting To Review-Bomb Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The developers literally call this a communication game, it’s hardly in wonder they want you to live together and communicate. I think it’s a bit more telling that sharing is such an audacious move on their part, however, the restrictive nature of a lead player is a bit of a different story. Perhaps being able to re-elect the resident representative would be a nice touch. That way people can take turns taking the lead on the island.

Re: Review: Pokémon Sword And Shield - A Solid Start To Gen 8 On Switch, Despite The Hate

In truth, game freak is a B list developer with an A list property. The franchises success often over shadows that fact. I don’t much mind when this affects the presentation or performance, but it’s a bummer how much this tappers back their ambition. Such as their approach with the Wild Area, it’s role is to be the hot new piece of marketing, but they hampered it in hopes of gathering intel on their next game rather than taking big risks and strides in this game.

Ultimately I’m here to play Pokémon, and perhaps that is the route of the problem, either an apprehension to innovate that could alienate fans (tho recent controversy suggests that isn’t it) or the much more malignant laziness as the series will sell regardless.
