Have they (or someone else) confirmed whether or not Switch 2 controllers have analogue triggers, or whether without a GameCube controller, either the new one or a wired one using the GameCube Controller Adapter, there will be some kind of alternatives to analogue triggers like we saw with Super Mario Sunshine in 3D All-stars (again without the use of the GameCube Controller Adapter).

Just curious if anyone's been able to pick any info up about this. Apologies if it's already been discussed and I've missed it.

Hey. GMT and BST aren't the same thing. So 2pm BST (UK time) would be 1pm GMT.

GMT is a constant, and doesn't change throughout the year.

I can't imagine the broadcasting rights holders would be very pleased with the championship themselves doing something like this.

Yeah. I've finally went for it. Promised myself when it came out that I wouldn't, but oh well! 😂

@Fizza Not sure I understand the question. It has nothing to do with any other apps you've got or not got. It needs you to have an active NSO subscription.

Isn't there a possibility that they are releasing this now because the follow-up to the Switch might not be able to charge joycon, but might be able to use them?

Just a thought.

The readers note at the bottom is important, and I was really hoping someone would point it out.

I reckon it was an inside job.

I'll be getting it (again), and can't wait to play it (again)! I was just thinking during the day on Wednesday that I wanted to replay this at some point soon, not even considering the Direct that was coming up in the evening.

I don't think I ever did play this back in the day, but at some point, I look forward to playing this time around!

@ModdedInkling I've since got a new phone with Android 12 (both Samsung phones). Android 12 works fine. Android 11 wasn't letting me (and a load of other people) connect to the switch. Among other problems, it was showing an incorrect password error, which wasn't fixed by either what Nintendo were suggesting or inputting info manually. I'm not sure what was causing the issues, and searching for it only confirmed i wasn't alone, without giving any kind of solution either.

As I said, Android 12 works fine.

Since updating to Android 11, this has not seemed to work. In trying to figure out some work arounds to this, however, I did figure out how to connect an Android phone by cable to the Switch. By using the method discussed in the article for connecting a pc, with the USB A end of the cable going into an otg cable which is plugged into your phone. When you connect, your phone may ask what app you want it to use. Google photos seemed like the best option here for me.

Not a great method, if we're being honest. I do hope they come up with a solution to this Android 11 problem, as they don't even seem to have noticed it so far...

I don't think it is too high, but then that's all relative, isn't it?

@CactusMan Yup. Absolutely agree.

I like that they are open to the other companies offerings. I don't like the idea of game developers being so loyal to the company they work for to the point of blanking out what everyone else is doing.

This on top of the fact that the Switch really does work under a TV with either an Xbox or PlayStation in ways they don't necessarily with each other.

I think PS5 and Switch are a good combination. I have my Switch mainly for the exclusives I can't get on my PS5, and that seems to have worked out pretty well for Nintendo.

Thing is, some folk are disappointed when compared to some of the rumours (many of which were based on OLED related leaks). That's not really Nintendo's fault. This is clearly an upgrade, whether it's what some of us expected/wanted based on some rumours or not.

That logo image. So much nostalgia!

Looks pretty clear cut grammatical in this instance.

It replacing the current "main" model certainly makes sense looking back at past systems.

I think it's as likely as not at present, to be honest. Let's also be clear that no matter when they'd announce/release any new version, there's probably be some disappointed customers who has just bought the old one.

I'm also holding off on hunting for a PS5 at the moment (not that finding one of those is an easy task at present) whole I await more potential news on a new Switch...which might not come. I can't be the only one, surely. If they wait too long and then announce release though, I'd imagine lots of people well have decided to buy the latest consoles from Sony or Microsoft.

The right move...and not all that surprising. Good shout, Universal and Nintendo.

The keyboard function for use with ACNH is useful. I'd love to see them extend that to be able to use your phone's keyboard for typing when sharing photos/videos too. Using the in built keyboard is a drag. I know you can plug in a USB keyboard, but using my phone's would be so much more convenient and portable.

@Heavyarms55 totally unrelated laws. What you're describing with the video game bars sounds like they purchased a game meant for personal use only for a commercial purpose, which of course would be against the law (here, and I assume in other countries like the Philippines).

Using Animal Crossing in this way certainly isn't illegal. The most it could be is against terms of use/service, which it's HIGHLY unlikely to be, in the same way if a company has a Twitter account, they can use it to advertise.

There are so many examples of companies using ACNH to advertise, and Nintendo being fully on board with it. Obviously there's a line companies can't cross, but this is so far behind the line, it's not even funny. My favourite example of using ACNH to advertise has been the various gaming companies releasing outfits from their famous characters on ACNH, and like this example, people getting involved would need to follow the companies to get the code to take part.

An example where advertising wouldn't be suitable would be in public chats in games, where those in the game could not avoid it. This is not that.

"...and some children looking very excited to see it twirl around in the air."

Hahahaha! Brilliant!

Yeah the rating system annoys me and doesn't recognise simplicity. My island still looks like a remote island...with a few houses and simple buildings added, yes. But still a remote paradise. My own house has fencing around it, and it's now possible to get to anywhere on the island without needing the vaulting pole or ladders, but that's pretty much it.

The flowers spread like crazy on my clifftops, and I mainly just let them do their own thing unless they get in the way. At some point in the future, I might play the hybrid flower game, but I'm happy allowing them to hybridise mostly naturally for now. I have no paths, although I might add some at some point. I do remove all the weeds, personally. I like my island. I also like a few of my friend's islands which have been decorated with completely different visions and styles to mines.

Yeah sure. At some point, I might go down the route of outdoor decoration...but I'd prefer to do that because I want to, not because I need to.

It's a start, people. No, it's not what we wanted, but it's far more than they have said officially about the Switch so far, so it's a start.

I had forgotten about this fish. Just caught one on a deserted island. Very close to the last day they'll be available here too!

@carlos82 The calculation isn't "poor". They made it clear that they were taking the largest possible size a game could be, and also made it clear that many were smaller than that. They are calculating the biggest the answer possibly could be, and make that clear.

That is...something. Goodness me.

@Grim Haha. And I second this. If given the option, I may even be found turning gyro controls...off! I mean, I don't mind them in most circumstances. As you say, just far from a do or die mindset here too.

I'm still holding out hope we get a port of Astroneer.

@TrueAssassin86x Is that, by any chance, the same story as this...?

As your article points out, it was a fascinating period in the company's history. Very fascinating period in the industry too.

I'm not criticising the article, to be clear. I love it. Especially given what they are like now. I'm just stating the obvious. 😂

I want the rumours to be true. Very much.

Wasn't this one of the rumours connected with the expected Mario remasters? Pretty sure I heard "...and there will also be a Paper Mario". Just confused why so many people think this is sooo out the blue when we knew (or at least suspected) it was coming.

This "self censorship" was of course appropriate. I say of course, but as your article says and the comments on here suggest, not everyone agrees with that. Such a shame.

If this is true...

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

In a way, I just want the wait for the direct to be over, but then knowing that a lot of the games I'd want usually have a further wait after the direct...hrm... I just want all the games NOW. 😂

Looks nice. First person puzzle games are likely going to always be compared to the Portal series. I don't think that's a bad comparison per se, but as long as that doesn't limit or restrict people's expectations. Q.U.B.E. 2 was also compared to Portal quite a bit when that came out (by the way, for anyone who played that when it first came out on the Switch and got annoyed with audio issues, pop in and other technical issues, these have been very much improved on).

I think bringing up Portal is useful and the similarities in the visuals of the trailer really do seem clear...just as long as that doesn't limit.

@Bobb Wii U.

@Bobb After the Revolution and Café, perhaps?

@Fandabidozi I approve of this comment because of the name and display picture alone.

Simple answer? No. It's like the old idea that those with money should get off lightly if they break the law. Mind you, some people still promote this idea.

Utter nonsense. It didn't occur to him that he'd be banned? I'd ban him on the stupidity alone.

I find rating games very difficult. I know when I like a game and when I don't. Not a whole lot in between. Most I own would probably end up being 9s with a couple of 10s in there. Those I've not liked are only really personal preference most of the time, as opposed to my thinking they are just bad games. Just saying.

Edit: realised after I'd wrote this that I'd actually rated most of my games already. Maaan. Past me was smart. Ever think that?! Haha

@ryobi85 That comment's a bit late, no?

@Deltath British comedian David Mitchell made a very funny video about this on his soapbox YouTube channel some time ago. https://youtu.be/om7O0MFkmpw It has a graph and everything. I really wish he still maintained that channel. It was a good laugh.

@Deltath I have many American friends who use them interchangeably, and genuinely didn't realise it didn't make sense until I or someone else pointed it out. 😂

Tattie (pronounced like Tah-tay) is slang for a potato here, so I wouldn't have thought it would be that. Also, "I could care less." is literally the opposite of what they're trying to say. Why can't they understand that?!

I plan to get it, yes. I didn't pick this one up back when it first came out, for some reason.

The trailer was lovely for a long time fan like me.

Yeah I plan on picking it up.
