I have one of these. It's my main controller for my Steam Deck. The D-Pad is a lot better than it looks. I only wish there were toggles for mouse, right stick, left stick to gyro modes. On PC that would have been very helpful, especially when using the controller in X-Input mode.

@Mz3player thanks for the heads up and E-10 makes a lot more sense!

@StephenYap3 I'm thinking the same thing. Isn't this why the E-10 rating was created? Did we magically forget about Shadow the Hedgehog? These days the ESRB feels like a damn joke. Just like how BOTW and Tears should be rated Teen yet both games hold E-10 ratings. 🤷🏾‍♂️

OMG I have been thinking about this for a while now. Replacing the L and R bumpers with scroll wheels would be so amazing for games like shooters and BG3 where your weapons and spells are on a select wheel. I can imagine how easy it would be to select a grenade type and push in the wheel to throw!

Games like this make me wish Nintendo would just release a mini mic for voice commands.

Should have an option for: I own a Wii / Wii U.

@Danondorf the diamond layout is garbage and outdated. I play games on Wii, Wii U, Switch and my Steam Deck with a bevy of GameCube styled controllers and it's wonderful never having to look down to figure out button placement! All of those people acting like GameCube controllers are only for Smash fail to realize that there are hundreds of games originally made for that controller. As for modern games, I can say that God of War is amazing with the GameCube layout 😍.

UPDATE: the controller has gyro and rumble!!! SOLD!

Any news on rumble and gyro for this controller?! I'm really close to tossing money at this controller! 😻

Don't say something is GameCube styled if you can't even be bothered with getting the button layout correct. If they make a revision 2 with the proper layout then yes, this company can have my money. I'd most likely buy three or four but until then, NOPE!

I wish I had this but instead of a GameCube or Wii inside, it's a Windows PC.

@ibookboyuk That's the exact reason why I use GameCube styled controllers on Wii U, Switch and Steam Deck. Last count I have about 25 ish in my house scattered in different rooms for the various platforms. No need in having to remember button placement, just grab a controller and go.

@ibookboyuk nah, I need the big green A button. I only use GameCube styled controllers on Wii U, Switch and my Steam Deck. Big green A , small B and those lovely kidney bean buttons!

I just want a GameCube styled split pad...

Wii and Wii U are still my two favorite systems of all time! I miss the Wii days! Nintendo actually gave a damn back then.

@paschott I agree. The first iteration of DC Super Hero Girls was damn near perfect. The only problem was the lack of traditional length episodes. We finally get the trade off of longer levels but with a not so good art style. Either way, I'll eventually pick up this game to play with my daughter. I just hope it's decent.

@Gamecuber I needed a smile. Thank you! Perfect reference!

Wow. I feel old. I still wish we had better N64 emulation on Wii and Wii U. It's the only reason I went back to original hardware this year. Aside from that, I'm happy that the PJ64 team are still making improvements. This is great for game preservation!

Time to throw more money at this game. I already have a digital copy and a physical Special Edition. I will definitely be grabbing the physical Super Edition version!

If this game has...

1) Physical Release
2) Gyro Controls
3) Plastic zapper for my Joycon

It will be a day 1 purchase for me!!! Sega, take my money!

@urrutiap you do know that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is on the Switch right?! It's a lovely game. Even comes in English. It sits proudly on my shelf! 😎

@Lordplops Best comment here! All right people, let's all go home now. Work is over!

@Fiyaball Agreed! The GameCube Controller and by extension, the GameCube styled Nintendo Switch controllers are the best. I use GameCube styled controllers for everything minus Wii motion games and N64 (I play on real hardware).

I don't mind mobile games on Switch as long as they are properly priced with all content included or free to play just like the phone counterpart.

In this case I would rather have a 16GB card version with the multiplayer mode off the card or parts of multiplayer unavailable till download (depending on the file size).

Sonic Colors is hands down the best 3D Sonic game!

Here's hoping they fixed some of the local wireless issues. My wife, daughter and I have an easier time playing with our switches wirelessly. The moment one of us tries to play on the dock, the darn connection goes down the toilet.

Nah, I'm good. I'll keep playing my Wii U copy.

I'll be playing Rogue Company!

@NinjaSyao I'm surprised that nobody on the development team thought to default to the gyro sensor inside the Switch for situations where no gyro controller is present.

@Alztru That's Gear Club 2 in a nutshell. It took roughly 6 months for online multiplayer to roll out and when it did, hardly anyone talked about it.

Just give us WWE Day of Reckoning 3 and problem solved.

@Perryg92 The Tomb Raider reboot and Life is Strange should have been on Switch a LONG time ago. Hell, if you hack your Switch and install Android to it, you can play them now. The two mentioned above, along with Metal Gear Rising are all available on Shield TV. The Switch is just a Shield TV with no Android and an extra gig of RAM. All of the "convert from x86 to ARM" work for said games is done. It's just a matter of getting them to boot in Horizon OS vs Android and maybe editing the button icons and layout.

@TG16_IS_BAE knowing how people are, I feel that many will buy this game for shock value.

😂🤣😂🤣 This is just too damn funny! Some of you seriously need to calm down. The situation isn't as drastic. Sure, the eShop is filled with trash but exactly how much of that trash makes it to the top? Additionally, people should be doing their research before ever dropping money on a game. Don't just go by a trailer, actually check out the game play first. I have no problem with this game being on the eShop. It's way past time for A-O rated games to be on digital stores anyway. We have parental controls for a reason.

Never seen Inception. I might do this on Friday.

Was really hoping to see the Power Rangers in this years' game. Frankly I'm surprised this game exist. Kudos to Nick for trying. More characters than last year and online play added. Hopefully this game will be decent when it comes out.

If I can get gyro controls and Disc Golf, I'll instantly throw my money at 2K!

I will buy this one day one ONLY if all three games are on the game card. At the very least give us a standard edition that required a download and a special edition with all three games.

Now if Nintendo be can get on fixing the local connectivity issues. I'm getting really tired of communication errors when I'm playing with my family in the same room on multiple Switch consoles.

I have this movie with English subtitles. It's GREAT! I even cried once! This movie does the Animal Crossing franchise Justice and really could use an official Western release.

Bring back the SpongeBob GameCube controller and THEN, we can talk....

@RudyC3 the octagon gates don't matter! If this was a full sized controller I would get the complaint but the stocks on these JoyCons are exactly like the ones on the Nintendo official JoyCons. The range of motion is very limited to the point of never feeling the gates. Because you will never feel the stick gate, it doesn't matter if the gate position is wrong.

I'm just going to copy/paste my Amazon review here:

"Almost Perfect, Just Need a Little More!"

When people would ask me the question, "what is my favorite controller", I used to reply with the GameCube controller and Wii Remote/Nunchuck combo equally. The reason for that was simple. The GameCube controller has the best layout for non motion gaming and the Remote/Nunchuck combo was great for motion gaming. Both controllers however shared the same idea. Make the most important buttons have a memorable shape so that you never have to look down.

This controller combines the best of all worlds while making a few sacrifices. Overall this GameCube styled JoyCon makes for a good replacement. There is no HD rumble but basic rumble is here. The right JoyCon has a NFC chip for Amiibo support. Both JoyCons can be charged on and off the Switch and they also support gyro controls.

Notably missing from the right JoyCon is the IR camera. It's a shame because I'm sure many people would have paid a tad more for a fully functional device. On the wishful thinking side, analog triggers would have been nice, just to top off all the bells and whistles. I only have two gripes with these JoyCons. First, you're going to have to "break in" ZL and ZR to get them to feel right. That should happen within your first hour of play. Second, I really, really wish the face buttons were not nearly flushed with the controller. All face buttons need to be elevated a bit more with X and Y being a touch higher than A and B.

For Smash players, the octagon gates are not in the same position as a real GameCube controller. In all honesty it's not like it matters. The analog sticks are modeled after the official JoyCon. The travel is so low that you will never touch the gate. Personally, I did not buy this controller for Smash. I'm just a huge fan of the GameCube button layout. If that is also your case, you will be happy with a purchase of this JoyCon set. For those of you that are not into the button layout, you may want to pass. In the end, consider me a happy customer!

TLDR....

Pros

• Wireless
• Easily synched
• Gyro support
• NFC support (for Amiibo)
• Basic rumble support
• Can charge on and off the Switch
• Recognized as part of the console in portable mode.

Cons

• The face buttons could be a bit higher. They're nearly flushed
• No IR camera
• Purple L and R buttons would have been nice
• ZL and ZR practically require your fingers to be at the edge for the press to register. Gotta break the triggers in.

@jtmnm these JoyCons can be charged via the JoyCon rails.

@Coach_A You're right in the fact that it's probably not as easy. That said, they could go the Fortnite route and only allow cross platform play amongst friends and people that got out their way to invite each other. Everyone else in random matches are paired only with Switch players. In this way, those who go out of their way to play cross platform accept the caveat of differing frame rates and input types. It's a compromise we can all live with.

More difficult? One word...

Paladins.

I just want E3 demos available on their respective platform's "eShop" for that week. That way, everyone gets a chance to try these demos and not just the lucky ones in LA.

Hopefully the game gets a labo VR update.
