So that you don't have to press 3 buttons to play. You don't have to use it.

It looks as though they increased the framerate. Konami made out like bandits by having a game out for the Switch's launch. It's nice to see them support the game after its success.

Psh, past video game experiences should have taught you that antidotes are strictly for vague definitions of poison! But in all seriousness they really ought to have adjusted that one line, yeah. If not to something else entirely, then at least to something less specific, it's a little too easy to draw a connection to the doctor.

Related, holy hell I sure am having a time trying to platform in the Mouse-man segment of The Unknown.

Yeah, that was the last one I did because I had to leave and do literally every other one out of frustration. Definitely the Wario Land 3 school of "well you didn't technically die...." platforming.

On Xbone it varies from $10 for Castlevania SOTN to Red Dead Redemption at $30 or Rare Replay (most of the good rare games) also at 30. When I'm getting classic games it's usually on sale on Xbone (they have small amounts of titles on sale weekly and maybe 2 or 3 large sales a year), on Steam if I'm buying classic games they are either about $5 or it's an impulse buy from a sale. (It seems like they have random sales going on all the time but I don't game on my pc as much as on consoles.)

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

The non-sale prices of PS1 Classics are $5-10 depending on the game, and PS2 Classics are $10-15. They frequently see heavy discounts too, like every month there's usually a couple weekly sales that slash PS4 version PS2 Classics to like $3 a pop.

Here's a full changelog of the Bomberman update. Apparently the game now runs at 60FPS.

Hopefully "improved the controls" actually means that it's playable, because I booted it up once and it was loving garbage and I haven't touched it since.

I'm actually sort of surprised at this turn of events. I fully expected this to be Konami exploiting a lacking launch lineup with some slapdash nostalgia bait and for them to forget about it after they released it, but no they seriously seem to be trying to address criticisms. I still think it's way too expensive ($69.99 up here in Canada) but drat Konami is making it more and more tempting to bite. If it was on sale for like twenty bucks off or something I'd probably bite.

Also there are 2 new hats and 4 new stages.

Anyone know what could be up with my switch?

Both controllers seem to work wirelessly just fine. As soon as I dock them to the Switch, the left Joycon doesn't want to work properly. Like I can navigate the menus with the left stick, but it doesn't work in any game. Both controllers will show up as white icons in the menu at the bottom, but when I attach the left joycon, it then becomes a dark gray.

Worked fine last time I played my Switch.

Should also note that this is the Joycon I sent in to have repaired.

The joycons connect physically, not wirelessly, when attached to the Switch. Check the physical connection port on both the left joycon (at the very bottom of the black slider rail, underneath the overhang) and on the Switch (and the very bottom of the slider channel) to make sure they're not obstructed by foreign particles.
