I always use my pro-controller but I have been playing 'The Room' recently and for the first time I have used the Joy-Con to control. It is absolute rubbish. Constantly drifting and every few seconds having to press R to re-center. Ruins the game to be honest.
Playing through Triple Deluxe at the moment (which is quite brilliant) and have got this on order. Really looking forward to it after reading this review.
Was it not evident as to what I was referring to. I must try harder. I honestly think you would be much better suited to the BBC HYS forums. You would be much more likely to find more like minded SJW's than on here.
I bought this mainly to play Landstalker again on my big TV.
Unfortunately the directional controls are awful. It is virtually impossible to turn Nigel in the direction you want him when faced with 3 or 4 enemies at once.
I hope an update will be forthcoming to rectify this. If not, Nigel will face many, many deaths before he gets even close to the end of the game.
Hi,
I loved reading your reply and found it very informative.
Just goes to highlight what a real problem we jointly have with political correctness.
Cheers, John
I really do fear for the future of mankind in the face of all this nonsense. I would hazard a guess that less than 1% of people are actually 'offended' by this. The only problem is these people are given a platform by the MSM.
@LittleLion Hi, My wife and I both use the same Switch. If I buy a family membership does she have to be in the family group to play online? Cheers, John
'Time heals all wound' Don't think so. The only reason this is happening is that Switch is a cash cow for Square. If Switch had turned out to be another Wii U would this be happening?
Great column Ian. Would love to see some baseball on Switch. I was really hoping Rusty's Real Deal Baseball om 3DS would make it's way to the UK but alas no
I too cancelled my pre-order after reading the review. I was really looking forward to Rime and hope the guys can sort out performance issues. I would re-order straight away.
I still revisit my old Shining Force games now and again and still love them. A new SF game would be amazing. I'm sure there are a lot of fans out there who would really go for this.

Not intolerant.
It just means that like me, Andy has had enough of all the PC crap that is forced down our throats each and every day.

Disrespect in what way?
Are you trying to make out that native Indians never wore feathers in their hair?
