I'm not being a hyperbolic nerd when I say I couldn't tell you the last thing EA did recently. I just remember Simcity 5 being a huge disaster and pointing in laughing since it's EA of course they managed to gently caress up Simcity. So yeah if they accidentally made something good feel free to hit me with it.

So the idea of the right or left joycon being different depending on game because they could bundle that. Did that die because a single half would cost about half the price of the game?

The Xbox Pro controller is really nice. The switch pro controller also looks much better than hooking 2 joycons together.

Looks like it, yeah. There's always a chance that there will be limited editions of games that will come with a left or right Joycon with a design or even a different button layout but I don't see a bundle like that coming in at under $100.

Left joycon has a button cross. What's the functional difference? You have that for 4 way movement or the stick for 360, same as every other controller.

I think they have their hands full with two types of joycon, both from a manufacturing perspective and a marketing perpsective. Adding more types beyond "the left one" and "the right one" would be a bad idea this early on.

E: And I could totally use that cross button to play street fighter 2. Everybody knows all you need to win in the game is the ability to press forward and heavy punch to do throws over and over again.

I used to play turbo2 hd online and get hate messages and poo poo because I used throws. Street fighter 2 is a good game.

Yeah I'm not sure why it matters if it's a DPad or four buttons (a DPad is just a plastic cross on top of four buttons). It will do all the things a dpad can do.

If the Switch is docked, no problem. But if I'm trying to do local coop with somebody using the 2 JoyCons I'm not sure how something like Street Fighter would work.

I loved this layout too just keep both hands resting on your knees was so nice. idiots who held them in the air got tired. I loved it in Mario Cart, it was my preferred controller even over GCN the greatest controller ever. Mostly due to how easy it was to pull off jump tricks.

I'd prefer a conventional d-pad too but it's pretty similar to what Sony was doing for years so it doesn't bother me that much. It's still an improvement over the Xbox 360 garbage d-pad.

Because that's been the indicator of a directional pad across dozens of systems for 30 years?

The D-buttons on the left joycon will be fine for games that only use the D-pad for stuff like inventory, weapons, and other UI elements. And that's actually a lot of modern games.

If you're going to be making heavy use of the Virtual Console, though, a Pro makes sense to get.

TheKingofSprings posted:

The last two Nintendo consoles have used +/- buttons as start/select, and so does this one. Did you seriously actually think it was a D-pad?

I'm also of the firm opinion that fighting games that are released on consoles but not designed with the console's controller in mind are hot garbage. I especially love KoF14 having 'only on ps4!' on the box but still requiring double half turns and poo poo to do moves, making it pretty much unplayable on a dualshock4, while Netherrealm figured out how to make console fighting games that actually work 6 years ago.

Fightsticks can burn in nerd hell with pro controllers, racing game foot pedals, and that guitar hero attachment for the DS.

And it's also way bigger and always on the left. I mean unless you walk around pushing every plus sign you encounter wondering why it's not a d-pad, I'm not sure how you could be dumb enough to think that tiny thing was a d-pad.
