You just posted that a retro-style controller was a factor in you buying a $300 piece of hardware. That's way beyond "caring about controllers".

The Switch is worth buying regardless of whatever NES-style 3rd party controllers it supports.

How's the HD rumble in Thumper?

I already have the game on PC so that's kind of all I'm interested in but I don't think that would be worth enough to pick up a second copy.

Excellent. Very intense and put to good use. Game's rad as hell but not worth $20 if you already own it on the PC.

ARMS 3 player mode is absolute trash and I wish that I could select which modes I queue'd for in party mode.

I got much worse at the game between the Test Punches and now.

The worst part about 3 way match is that the best strategy is to hide in a corner and hope the other players ignore you.

It comes with a bunch of bonus stuff at GameStop which makes it slightly less of a ripoff.

It's a game that really needs couch multiplayer on a single bigass TV while making your friends loving hate you for beating a Stone out of them, so Dreamcast is the way to go.

And it is a loving crime that neither Power Stone has been rereleased on modern consoles.

It looks like they've finally got grown-up size analog sticks. I have the FC30Pro and NES30 Pro controllers and, while functional, their tiny size means stick travel length is inadequate for precision control.

The main thing that dissuaded me from picking up Fast RMX was all the complaining about AI rubber banding. Can't stand that poo poo. If I'm beating the gently caress out of the computer, I want to be beating the gently caress out of the computer. If I want a closer race, let me up the difficulty.

I am glad the Nintendo Switch now has a good game: ARMS.

I would be even more glad if they release another known good game, IKARUGA, on this portable entertainment platform.

Any other bullet hell game could be an acceptable temporary alternative.

I loved the hell out of that game, and bought it again a year or two ago when it came out on PSN as a Classic. It did NOT age well.
