Re: 8BitDo's 'Pro 3' Controller Boasts Magnetic ABXY Buttons And A Charging Dock

Maulbert

@RupeeClock Most Steam games don't have a way to swap the button labels in the menu, and automatically recognize 8bitdo controllers as Xbox controllers. So when you're playing it with a Nintendo style button label, the game flips A/B and X/Y in the menus and HUD. After awhile, you can get used to it, but it's confusing in the heat of the moment.

Re: Nintendo's President Apologises For Not Being Able To Meet Switch 2 Demand

"We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this initial demand, which greatly exceeded our expectations."

Yeah, I call *****. I certainly understand that supplies are limited early, but there is NO WAY they didn't know how well the system would sell. Not saying they could have supplied it any faster, just that they prefer the look of being unable to keep up with demand.

Re: Switch 2 GameCube Controller 'Early Purchase' Goes Live Next Week (North America)

@-wc- D-pad is trash, c-stick is a woeful excuse for a second stick, z-button is cramp inducing, lack of triggers is limiting, and the face button layout is terrible. Not lining up 2 buttons with the angle of the thumb is one of the dumbest things Nintendo has done with semi-regularity. There's a reason the 4 button SNES layout is still the industry standard. And the giant A WIN button is made for people who can only button mash.

Re: Opinion: Steam Deck Fans Are Seriously Underestimating The Switch 2

Maulbert

Steam Deck is not a Switch competitor. Steam's primary platform is PC. They made the Steam Deck as another option for people who already game there. I would be SHOCKED if there's anyone who bought a Steam Deck that didn't already have a Steam account. Hell, I can't find a number online higher than 4m units sold. They barely market the thing. It is not their bread and butter. It could fail and they wouldn't care. I will never understand why anyone compares the two.
