Love him saying "We heard your feedback and are giving you what you've asked for" like he's sitting in on the board meetings with the game developer.
Now I'm imagining all the gamers on the WWE roster walking in to the boardroom demanding a Switch version with their ring outfits.

Or something like front office Kane where they're shirtless but with slacks on.

Buying a Switch with non-matching Joycons :lol:
That's why you buy the neon joycon set so you have matching blue and red pairs of joycons :colbert:

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

The Pro controller is very nice but the D-pad kinda sucks and its imprecision makes it terrible for Puyo Puyo. It's really easy to press left or right and accidentally input up or down. I always use the Joycons for Puyo.

I wonder if it also includes the shot meters and new characters and stuff that all the the other versions got in the meantime while we were waiting for them to finish the game

The neon joycons are better than the grey joycons, but the yellow joycons and Splatoon joycons are better than both of them by such a big margin it doesn't matter

Blaster Master was fun and worth the price but I don't really "get" playing as Gunvolt - I have no idea what's going on and it certainly didn't add anything to the experience.


Is Shantae any better?

I felt the same way about gunvolt, but shantae and the angel character both control in a satisfying way and are furthermore great to use outside Sophia during the platforming parts.

Nintendo should sell a red/blue set of joycons to go with the blue/red set so you can get both and have matching yet mismatched controllers.

They already do this. The neon system comes with blue/red, you can get a red/blue set separately.

Weirdly they don't seem to be doing the same thing with the green/pink though.

God this thing is such a mess. Wires and dongles aside, I just noticed another flaw upon closer inspection: the total length from Switch to headphones is about 6'. I couldn't use this piece of poo poo if I wanted to.

Also, your phone has to be within 3' of the Switch at all times, so even the dongle itself is out. I'm not trying to get up every time I want/need to access my phone while playing.

Thank god Splatoon is like the only game that'll ever come out on this thing that has the chance of possibly benefitting from voice chat.

You can likely source them cheaper from monoprice.

I thought this day would never arrive. From their tweet, it looks like it only includes whatever was in the first patch for other consoles. So the Switch version is only 2 or 3 patches behind the other versions now. Only 15 new players added but I'm hoping other updates will be easier for them now that this one is out. Anyone that gets a chance to play with patch please post your impressions.

Nintendo has stated that there will be other solutions available, this is just hori's solution

If the box was a Bluetooth dongle that connected to your phone and cut out the cable from the box to your phone. Just having the cable from the switch would be doable.

Just buy the brooks wiiu/ps4 converter. Buying a stick that will only see use in usf2 and aca games is kinda dumb and brooks doesnt add noticeable lag. New firmware makes it work with switch.
