You can use the Dpad(well d buttons or whatever) for precision.

Nintendo at point said it was close to breaking the million copies milestone. I guess it's safe to assume that that has been passed some time ago.

Probably because it doesn't work with a regular stylus. AFAIK it needs one of those touchpad styluses you use on iPhones and other capacitive touch screens.

Same reason the iphone doesn't. It's a capacitive screen that's made for fingers, not styluses.

Yeah, that's my feeling about it, too. It should have been a pack-in. Also unlocking mini games is stupid.

Wii U had a resistive touchscreen, which simply detects physical pressure and can be activated by any firm object, meaning a little plastic stylus worked fine.

Switch's screen is capacitive, meaning it responds to the electrical charge of your body. This allows for multi-touch and it's more responsive to the soft pads of your fingers, but only a special capacitive stylus (replicating the required charge) will work. This type of stylus is physically larger and orders of magnitude more expensive than the little plastic stick in your 3DS or Wii U gamepad.

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

PAL regions are getting not only Bulb Boy this week, but also Cars 3: Driven To Win is out on both Switch and WiiU.

It looks like there's a bunch of other Switch eShop games, I'll post the list later in the week once it's a bit more confirmed.

The movie? Yeah. No idea about the game.

The movie is basically the exact plot of Rocky 3, but if Apollo was a new character, and Rocky said to him "actually you take over" halfway in the fight against Lange. I thought the movie was going to be a bunch of complaining about millennials but it wasn't really.

Is the Pro controller that good? I have actually gotten used to the Joycon grip. I know that the D-pad is said to be better but the discrete buttons for the D-pad on the Joycon is perfect for Puyo Puyo which is 95% of what I have been using it for
