So far it seems like the vast majority of titles are compatible. A good thing for sure.

Nintendo catching up on controller remapping features much of the industry has been on-board with for several decades.

@LoroTalby You can't be serious.

Nintendo being stupid per usual.

@Debo626 It is a safe assumption.

@pikachupikachup Cool that you like their stuff. None of that changes that the "outrage" over stick drift (among other unsavory things they're a part of) didn't affect anything. They're doing just fine.

@pikachupikachup They don't care about the hit to their reputation when the "outrage" didn't impact their bottom line.

As long as you don't let this man anywhere near the controls of a 3D Metroid game again, we're good.

Secured a pre-order in Canada for both the MK bundle and a Pro Controller 2 with no issue, but I know others here who are still looking.

@Coalescence Repeating for emphasis:

There's a lot of interest in taking this tool that gives a lot of power to the masses and making it the exclusive domain of the rich, all under the guise of "protecting creativity" or whatever.

@Purgatorium Yup, and that sums up the anti-AI arguments in general. There's a lot of interest in taking this tool that gives a lot of power to the masses and making it the exclusive domain of the rich, all under the guise of "protecting creativity" or whatever.

@Dr_Fresh Nor did what I responded to.

Publicity stunt. SAG-AFTRA is garbage, as is AI fearmongering.

Maybe they should consult with the fortune teller they talked to last time.

Freaking clowns.

@skycargav2000 It's powerful enough to play modern games smoothly.

In terms of power and performance I'm sure it'll be fine. Good games are good games regardless of tech specs.

Nvidia DLSS can work miracles too, as can the AMD equivalent (FSR, which you should turn on if playing games on your Steam Deck).

I still wish Nintendo was a software dev for PC though.

@ButterySmooth30FPS I think you'll like Expedition 33.

@JaxonH I hope Nintendo is paying you.

@ButterySmooth30FPS Don't know about that as I generally like the JRPG genre and Clair Obscur feels like a love letter. (With way better dialogue and characters who talk and act like adults.)

The game is worth the hype IMO. But all fanbases are bad and some are worse, and E33's is definitely... slightly unhinged.

Its fanbase is just a little TOO into it... but it really is just an incredible game. I hope more people get to enjoy it.

IP law is a plague.

Not even slightly.

@Cipher36 Excellent.

I'd prefer it to stop at 80% myself, but better this than nothing.

@Cipher36 you'll never get into the frat

no my aca joe windbreaker

Definitely innovating on the price gouging.

AI fearmongering is idiotic.

Nintendo remains a scumbag litigant.

it's danky kang from danky kang county

Recently went through all of Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii dubbed and the voicework was top notch.

@Zufolobelisk I like how you say few Sonic games are good and you include actually-some-of-the-worst-level-design-ever-put-to-disc Sonic CD in the list of good ones.

@StyrofoamCup Yes, I will hold the sins of the future against them now. Good comeback.

When EA has the moral high ground over Nintendo.

Wow.

@Purgatorium Right?

"Violating privacy is bad unless Nintendo does it" is quite the take, not only from commenters but from the article itself.

@CC13 They act the same as every other "honest business" and they've proven time and time again that they do NOT care about game preservation. Bad companies aren't less bad because you happen to like them.

@Puddle Agreed, but so is Nintendo and we're all still here.

There is a 99.6% chance any company you give money to is supporting something awful.

Moral grandstanding accomplishes nothing.

@StewdaMegaManNerd Why not ALL of them having collections?

@FormerGameAddict I would love a BoF collection but only if the games got some retranslating to unify spell/location/etc. names and concepts. Not character names though: I love the Western names.

And also some of the translation hiccups besides, like the hella compressed item names in 1 and 2.

But that's a LOT of text to parse...

That said, BoF4 got a GoG release recently. It's good! You should check it out.

People mad about this:

There are way, waaaaaaaaaay worse games than anything in this collection, all of which are maybe a couple of degrees away from being great. And for some folks they are great already.

Way worse games than this. Have you ever played Smash Bros. Brawl? In that game, a basic movement option (dashing) coin-flips to screw you over with no input from you. Bubsy's level design may be questionable and they may put offscreen threats in evil places, but at least Bubsy doesn't trip over his own feet randomly.

No, but I'm grateful that I only buy things I know I'll play. I don't care if something is on sale for $0.99; if I know I'll never play it and don't have some other motive like supporting a specific dev, I'll keep my $0.99.

@Zufolobelisk Calm down.

@johnedwin Seething contempt for anything non-Nintendo isn't a good look.

@SalvorHardin MovieBob-level take.

That is not a compliment.

@Satans_Therapist Sorry to hear about your carpal tunnel.

That said, I once knew a local player who played high level MvC3 (he's beaten Filipino Champ) on an XB360 gamepad, using the analog stick. So I'm confident that enough practice on ANY controller will let you enjoy a fighter.

@GotchaForce4 As there tends to be in this sort of article. Unsurprising but nonetheless disappointing.

@Smithicus Same.

I can't wait to ignore this mid-looking game again.

This garbage controller design refuses to die.

I do not want anyone to lose their livelihood.

That said, Polygon is trash and always has been, so it's tough to feel too bad.
