Yeah... but maybe I'll actually be able to get a Switch this half of 2017.

The best controller they ever made is an xbone controller with digital triggers.

Nintendo needs to start dumping out virtual console games because as in wrapping up Zelda I want to play something else on the switch and the e shop looks pretty awful right now.

Same here. Nintendo is stupid for not having at least a half dozen classics ready to go on Day 1. I'm in that phase where I am wrapping up Zelda and just want some new games on the go.

Have you considered
That the xbone controller is just a SNES controller with joysticks

The Switch Pro d-pad is much better than the Xbone's, for one

Look on the bright side.



The Xbone controller is the first mainstream controller that hurts my hands for some reason. I don't understand it since I liked the 360 one.

The Switch one is better than them all though.

Do you have tiny hands or something? They are literally exactly the same except the xbone has girthier handles.

Medium. I don't get it either. This is the first gen where I prefer the PS controller to Xbox.

Pretty much any controller these days is really good, except the Playstation ones. I wish the Switch Pro had analog triggers with a click at the end though. Also I've seen people complain about Nintendo switching the X and Y buttons around but it's like bitch grab a SNES controller lmao.

I'm addicted to detached joy con mode, at least for Zelda. It's so comfortable. With sometime more intense like Splatoon I'd probably prefer the pro controller though.

The weird matte texture on the Xbone controller and thumbsticks feels like it's grating my skin off. The ergonomics are okay outside of the weird shoulder buttons, but it feels like I'm holding a lump of sandpaper.

I didn't care for the Xbone controllers bulkiness either, if they just kept it similar to the 360's with a better d-part it'd be perfect

For anyone that is on the fence about Shovel Knight, I was too for basically the past 4 weeks and finally pulled the trigger tonight. It is excellent. If you played NES platformers at all (and enjoyed them) you will enjoy it.

One thing I like about it: it is HARD the way that old NES games were hard. Like "die in the same spot 10 times" hard.

It's hard but it's always fair though unlike some classic NES games. Shovel Knight is fantastic.

True. It's hard in that you can die in the same spot 10 times, but not punishing in that there are checkpoints and as far as I can tell there are no game overs.

Shovel Knight can ask the player to pull off some tricky stuff, but it doesn't punish you too harshly for failure. You have infinite lives and frequent checkpoints, so you have ample opportunity to drill down whatever it is you need to execute until it clicks.

We'll also know if the game is any good by then. I'm excited but, honestly, Banjo Kazooie 1 was the only good 3D platformer Rare did. Tooie, Conker and DK64 were all pretty bad for different reasons.
