you'd think the d-pad would be perfected for every game controller by now but the dualshock 4's is the only one of the current controllers that i think is really great


i believe it just connects over usb. no special drivers, it's just basic directinput and you'd have to use third party software to make it work for most games, and even then you'll get xbox button prompts which will make it really weird since the X, Y, A and B buttons are all in completely different positions than nintendo controllers.

This is why even though I don't care for the xbone controller I use it for PC games. They are build with it as default and it just makes things easier.

If you want to play Super Mario World directly from Nintendo, might I suggest purchasing the game on your Nintendo Wii U or, perhaps, the New Nintendo 3DS video game system?

dont want to destroy switch battery :newlol:

Anything USB-C to C won't destroy your Switch. You just have to worry about USB-A to C. But, since the USB-C port on that charger is 5V/3A, it won't charge at full speed. From what I hear, the Switch won't pull more than 2A, so you will only be sending 5V/2A to it. That means that for Zelda, it is possible that you either won't gain any battery life while playing it, or very, very slowly lose charge. Either way, it will significantly increase your playing time while charging, so that may or may not be a deal-breaker for you.

EDIT: Also, I believe bad USB-A to C will hurt the charging device, not the device being charged. The thing with the bad cables is that they let the device being charged draw more power from charging device than the charging device could support, which would break it. Meaning, if you have an old laptop that can only safely discharge 5V/1.2A from the USB-A port, and you connect your fancy phone with a bad USB-A to C cable, your phone may try to pull something like 5V/3A from that USB-A port, frying your old laptop. If you stick with USB-C to C cables, you will not have this problem as USB-C natively supports this.

What are you guys doing to fill up your controller collection? When MK8 comes around I'll want to have four for the true multiplayer experience. I now have the joycons and 1 pro controller, so that's three people. I could get another pro controller, another set of joy-cons or just one extra joy-con. Will there be 5-player games at some point? I don't really feel like getting a single joy-con because -symmetry-, but getting two seems overkill as one will always be unused. An advantage is that nobody can complain about getting the 'poo poo' controller.

Fourth player can use the touch screen to play at my rooftop party

I've got something very similar and the thing I'm paranoid about is using dodgy USB-C Cables.

I currently use a known compliant USB to USB-C cable with it and my phone hasn't blown up yet. It's pretty good at giving the juice so I'll be using the setup for Switch... when I finally get it.

I really like F Zero and I heard it's closer to wipeout which I'm not as much a fan of. My wife and daughter will play the hell out of Mario Kart with me and probably never touch Fast RMX.

Still I'd like to get it, but $20 is just too much with $60 Mario Kart right around the corner.

Yeah, Cave Story+ is currently $15 on Steam, not on sale. Unless there's something seriously different and special about it (extra features?), I'm not sure charging double is going to be worth it.

Also, one fun thing with Isaac is that the PS4 STILL hasn't gotten the Afterbirth+ update.
