Why couldn't they just make this a wireless pro controller/joy con side rail thing? Charge more - I don't care but give me a universal controller with Rear paddles.

BTW can we assign L3 R3 to the rear buttons? That wasn't clarified

My guess is some special model for shows or events. Maybe one with video out just for e3 or something?

Could also probably lead to new lite colors later in the life cycle?

Unfortunately I had no choice in my region but to buy the physical Switch version.
So I have an unopened port of a game that has been unplayable since launch, and 5-6 months in they will make a patch available - I hope - and now I will be able to play it.
This is just sad. What's with Kickstarter projects and being such messes?

Wow that's actually a neat design for a portable controller to toss in the bag. They work with Switch and mobile (and pretty much anything that supports x input) so not a bad option to have around with a Switch/lite. Also great price.

Only thing that isn't clear is do the dpads count as analog sticks?

@SmaggTheSmug wow so using a character that doesn't belong to you isn't wrong in your eyes? I guess you also think pirating games is also 100% ok?

I hope Namco buries Atgames. Those guys do shoddy work at best and always came off as scammers. Now trying to acquire a character that is mostly Namco's makes them seem like such douches

PhYsIcAl CoPy?

Over priced... Their own pro controllers are 40 bucks. Yikes.

@SomeLunatic OK buddy. I wish you and your Razer loving ways the best of luck. I'm sure this tablet will be a runaway success just like the Razer phone before it (note: it wasn't).

@SomeLunatic actually no, the razer phone wasn't the first gaming phone that sparked all of this. Xiaomi and Huawei actually had gaming focused phones before the Razer but not marketed towards gamers first. Dont forget about Redmi and Play series by both, they came out before.

I had Both super Nintendo and Sega Genesis growing up, but man oh man did I love the Genesis more (despite being a Nintendo Fan boy most of my life).
But having only a single game out of series like Sonic or Streets of rage doesn't make much sense (thanks Nintendo for inspiring this logic).

Good luck Razer, because we know how much their revolutionary gaming phones affected the gaming market...
Honestly they have solid hardware in the pc front, maybe just stick to that?

Well at least it's something new...

At least it spawned a really cool joy con controller for handheld players like myself

I'm one of the morons that opted for the Switch Physical copy, and unfortunately I couldn't ask for a refund. So I'm stuck with dead weight until they finally fix the game. Or at least make it a bit playable

@Alucard83 the heck are you talking about? Peach does not turn into Toadette. What Mario games have you been playing?

Peachette makes no sense to me. Why does Toadette turn into Peach? I mean at least have given her a different face so it looks like cosplay or something.

There's a reason the original team didn't go past that horrid PSOne title; Bubsy is as dead a mascot as Gex or Tak or even Croc...

@scully1888 In that case I suppose it warrants a 9. You did mention gameplay and backtracking as negatives so I assumed it isn't the kind of game you play more than once.
As long as a game is replayable and is fun enough to have long lasting appeal, it warrants a higher score.

More than a few issues listed, yet it gets a 9/10?
I dunno, seems like the reviewer is being way too generous with the score...

@Cyrax77 ok...

@glaemay woah bro, go easy on the edibles...

Fanboys are a cancer.

Also, this game is DAMN awesome.

This is so ridiculously over priced, it's not even funny. The game is FREE TO PLAY on mobile and the game on Switch looks no different than the mobile version.
If it were 15 bucks it would make sense but 35 is just nuts

I beg to differ. Some of the 3rd party accessories match or surpass Official Joycons and controllers in quality or feel.
Hori makes damn near good dpad joycons for handheld use, and I'd argue the PowerA pro controller feels better than the official Pro Nintendo controller.

Also some of these fake joycons have clever tricks up their sleeves (like being able to charge via USB c cables rather than the Switch itself).
Don't discard all 3rd party joycons without testing them.

More co op brawlers the better

@DonSerrot wow thanks for the info. Might have to invest in the shovel knight game before this one then!

Not a fan of Smash bros clones but I would like to know when this is coming to the Switch. Hopefully a demo launches of it soon so I can get a better feel of it and it's cloneliness lol

I get multiplayer games... Maybe...though games on mobile have sync to cloud and they are the most hacked games ever.
Still, this is one of the stupidest things Nintendo could possibly do.
Unless they really never release other consoles as part of Nintendo online that is

Wow all these comments over the review and all I'm thinking is with this many great games coming out this month and the next, how the heck am I going to afford groceries?

These guys understand 2d classic games better than anyone else and it shows with games like the Bloodstained 2d title and the Blaster master remakes.
Dragon marked for death is the only one I haven't bought from their line up, and the one that shall not be named (Kickstarter disaster of the century)

If they would just release 7 (panic buttonight as well do the porting for these lazy bums) and somehow port 2, I could justify the pricing. But these older classics are hugely over priced. And even at 10 bucks a piece it's hard to justify each individual purchase.

No matter what the haters say, every time they show this game off it looks better and better. Can't wait to buy it on Switch

She's an awesome person. Hope she voices Zelda again in the BOTW sequel, would really be weird without her

I always intended to get it on a portable platform (Vita or 3ds or wherever it may end up at the time) so when the Switch version was announced I was so excited. Post launch and the game is the black sheep of the family, and almost feels like an after thought. Had they focused on straight porting it after the other console releases it may have ended up being way better, but who knows. 505 games doesn't seem to care about the Switch version at all

@Jeronan hori, 8bitdo and steel series are all made in China, never heard one complaint in Durability from all of the people I know who've used their products (myself included).
Yeah Microsoft do make amazing controllers, especially the Elite, but in this instance it seems like MS is releasing a niche device

@StableInvadeel yeah but companies like steelseries, 8bitdo, phone joy, and even Hori, among others, have made products natively compatible with both mobile OSes and some even have headphone jacks and speakers too, so its nothing really new. Unless they have a feature we don't know of, it looks like a pointless expense on Microsoft's side.

Every other Chinese mobile controller mostly does what this thing is supposed to do, and guaranteed for way less... So what makes this anything special?

Wow that's kinda crap. I hate system specific features like this, as it's a slap in the face to early adopters...

Really hope this is true. Can't wait for an official release of this game since I missed out during the N64 era

PT is that you?

To all the people saying I'm just lucky or that I don't play enough games, I actually own over 50 titles on the Switch and have played Smash for over 100 hours... So it's not that I don't play a lot of games, maybe some of the first batch of Joycons never had low quality graphite? Or perhaps it's because I use analog caps on my Joycons since day one? (I dunno maybe the caps reduce the distance the sticks can go or something?)

Launch Switch, extra pair of launch joy cons... None have the issue. Is it that I just take care of my electronics or did I get lucky?

Hori have been making consistently awesome products since the DS for Nintendo handhelds so I'm not surprised. I love the dpad joycon they made for the Switch and am excited for the pro joycons they will launch soon, and can't wait to see what weird products they launch for the lite!

@Wavey84 yet somehow Panic button made Wolfentstein, Warframe, Doom (and the Sequels) look damn good on the Switch.

What I don't understand is why Capcom don't just hire Panic Button to port Re2 and Re7 is beyond my understanding... The Switch is more than capable of handling a lower res, lower poly version of both, and Panic Button are the only devs that can do the porting justice...

Cute. But not official so no

He knew... He knew...

You say Glitch, I say feature

Sorry, but no 32x Super Blast Processing Turbo, no buy
