This is great news I know they are missing functions but when you have arthritis these are a god send I managed to get a carry case from butterfox so these are permanently attached to my switch one of the best buys ive had for the switch
I got the retro bit Genesis/megadrive controller for £30 2.4ghz wireless and it’s great works with my switch and original megadrive so I think it’s better value but I will be getting the n64 controller it’s the only way to properly play n64 games even if the price is a bit steep
@BloodNinja try mmmonkey that site is a goldmine of repairs and mods virtually every system worth owning has guides I learned to repair and mod my Saturn and megadrive with great results
@ObeseChihuahua2 thanks sounds stupid but I’m holding off buying cos I have arthritis in my thumb and index finger and as much as I like the functionality of the joycons they are unusable for me
@OorWullie this is what I wanted to know but no reply if the joycons are the same then it should I really hope they do work cos the split pad pro is all I use
I so want one but my launch day switch is still doing ok except for the low battery life I just can’t help but think the original switch should have been oled from the beginning
@BulbasaurusRex agree 100% it’s a bad situation, remembering back to the GameCube days they actually used to put effort into some of the sports games like nba street adding Mario characters into it made them even more fun but I can’t see them ever doing anything like that again
@Stnkygrngo it probably is possible but I think EA see the switch as an afterthought and don’t wanna invest time and money into it they just want money for nothing basically just a roster update, they are jokers
GameCube is the best and didn’t it have an alternative version if you held down Z outside of Nintendo the Dreamcast and PlayStation 1 both have amazing start up sounds
Art of rally is quite addictive but it’s so bare bones even on series x it looks rough glad it was on gamepass it was worth trying but I wouldn’t buy it
Super Mario world has some amazing tunes can’t believe none are included here also double cherry pass from 3D world is so catchy only have to hear it briefly and it’s stuck in my head all day
I’m not so sure about this I was a really big fan recently played through killer 7 again on pc and really enjoyed it but I’m waiting for a sale Travis strikes again is one of if not the worst game I have ever played it mentions the joke wearing thin I think it already did that back in the Wii era
@NoLife I’m sure I read that Sony are interested in a twisted metal remaster plus a new version and also they are looking into resurrecting wipeout just a shame there is nothing like twisted metal on switch
Super Mario world and I was blown away still one of my favourite games even now everyone had mega drives at school so I had one but SMW was the first game I felt an attachment to
@BionicDodo I need to look into getting one it’s the only thing that lets it down for me I actually got a DualShock 4 working but it’s hit and miss and the menus and virtual keyboard don’t always work
Gonna pre order this I have the c64 mini and I bought a usb memory stick with practically every game that was made for the c64 hoping something like that will become available for this my only problem with the c64 mini is the horrific joystick
I’ve been pretty critical of this as I felt a bit short changed paying full price for an unfinished game but this is a great article it’s given me the incentive to try and get back into it I was actually gonna sell it but I might as well give this a go plus it’s given me hope that one day it will be complete
So disappointed in this game it’s light on content and just feels unfinished getting a bit dismayed with the switch to be honest what with unfinished games at full price and endless WII U ports
@Ganner yeah I’ve just started pro now and I 100% agree it went from leisurely to insane 😂 still enjoying it tho takes me back to Jimmy whites on the Amiga or pool paradise on the GameCube
Tony hawks pro skater just trying to beat the high score challenges and got pure pool in the eshop sale it’s great the only fault I can find is no overhead view but it’s still excellent
I’m still not 100% sold on this game I didn’t enjoy it first time round and I hate the washed out looking graphics glad to see it has quality of life and technical improvements I won’t say I will wait for a discount cos it will never happen just wish they had given us TWP instead
It’s great if you don’t already have a switch but missing the opportunity to include Bluetooth audio is baffling also a bit of extra power under the hood would have been nice and I don’t mean so it had exclusive games that only run on the oled model just a little boost to make things run a little smoother cos we all know some switch games can stutter along at times
I have a launch switch which has given me no problems apart from the casing coming away at the bottom and a small crack in the casing near the volume button so I’m considering buying one as I have quite a lot of switch games but I’m worried as I have 2 ps vitas one of them is perfect but the other one has a patch at the bottom of the screen where it’s really light I’m wondering if this is a problem with oled screens or whether it’s just bad luck anyone have any ideas?
This is such an odd announcement it’s great if you don’t own a switch or have a broken one and are looking for a replacement but it’s not that far from the price of a ps5 or Xbox whatever this is why Nintendo have held back on giving us any info it seems as tho what the fans ask for Nintendo gives us the opposite
It looks lovely but not enough of an upgrade for me to consider buying some switch games can look a bit muddy in handheld and an oled screen is just gonna make bad textures and the like even more obvious cool if you haven’t already got a switch I suppose
So basically it’s what the original would have been like given a longer testing stage it just corrects the faults of the original and puts a better screen into the mix hope the dock is a little wider as the original scratches the hell out of the switch without being modded not sure it’s worth the extra cash tho
