Where's my goddamn email notification that MK8 has shipped and will be here tomorrow, Amazon? :mad:

I'm not going to get my copy of MK8 for a month am I?

Amazon is pretty good about getting stuff out on release day. I think they have copies at their distribution centers ready to go so they don't show as shipping until they are actually on the way to your address or something. That's how it has been for me in the past anyway.

If you live in a big area that Amazon delivers to itself, you probably won't see it shipped until tonight when they load it onto the van for tomorrow. Even if not, they sometimes ship things overnight and it also doesn't show as shipped until the late afternoon.

Lol decided to play some Puyo Puyo Tetris docked with the pro controller. Accidental hard drop due to lovely D-pad not 15 seconds into my first match. Guess I'll just stick to handheld mode for Tetris. Too bad there's no way to rebind hard drop to something else. Thank god MK8 doesn't use the D-pad like at all.

Yeah, I really like the Pro controller for literally everything else but the joycons are the obviously superior implement for PPT, the game with the sexual bear

I played with my pro controller and had no issues. Have you tried just pressing the dpad directions instead of just mashing your thumb all over it or whatever you are doing? I prefer the separate buttons of the joycon but I see no issue with the pro controller Dpad.

Picked up a Switch yesterday, and the Headphone volume is painfully low.. Which really sucks, because the game I picked up first is Voez.

I assume this is an 'European Legislation' thing, like it is for Sony hardware. Is the volume likely so low because :

a) I bought an EU console?
b) I selected an EU region when I set it up? (I've changed the region in option to Japan, but no luck)
c) My headphones (Sony MDR-XB950) can't draw enough power from the console?

Even if I connect the headphone jack into a pair of mains-powered speakers, Voez is unplayable :ohdear:

I wouldn't call it unplayable but it's definitely lower than I'd like it to be and very apparent when comparing the same headphones with any other device I own. It's not an issue for me normally but on a plane it's annoying that the headphone sound is barely louder than the ambient noise.

I'm in North America btw

Here's a tip - you can play switch docked with the joycons too. In fact, they.... SWITCH to pretty great separated handheld controllers

there's a pretty common defect with the pro controller where pressing left sometimes registers as up and right as down

Of course, I use the very ends of the directions, but if I don't hit it perfectly in the center, there's a chance it'll register up or down instead.

Mine's not like that; it feels like a design flaw. I can easily rock my D-pad up and down from the very edges of left and right and I really wish it wasn't like that.

Sorry, guy.
Holy poo poo. So my kid woke up from his nap today (He's 4) and was like... what are we going to do? I said, how about... MARIO KART?

And he was like "We HAVE that?!" and I said yes. And watching him play now, I have never seen him more excited.

The sony dpad is better but too cluttered near stick and share button for my tastes. Switch dpad is ok but its stiff and chunky vs older nintendo pads imo

I disagree. The dpad on the DS4 is spongy. The negative you listed I'd consider a positive.

DS4 dpad is kinda mushy but it's pretty much impossible to press one direction and accidentally register another, which is more important

Yeah, I can press down on the lower part of the left dpad on the DS4 and the direction will still be left, unlike the $70 Switch Pro Controller dpad

If you push a segment from the side you will get the direction you push in rather than the button actually. This makes rolling motions register better but can gently caress people up sometimes i guess if they are holding the button while also pushing it to the side and get a diagonal from only the one button

In summary, sega saturn dpad should be mandatory on all controllers
