How do the Power A controllers compare to the 1st party Pro controllers? I bought a Pro and I'm loving it, but I'm curious about the Power A's with the programmable buttons. They do rumble and motion, but not Amibo, right? I can live with that.

I got a wireless one that doesn't do rumble or amiibos (but does do motion). It feels nice overall. One issue I have, though, is that if I'm pressing the left stick up, the Switch interprets it as sometimes jumping back down to neutral then back up. I'm guessing a hair or something got stuck in it since I can usually press it down and roll it around for a bit and it'll be better for a while. It also didn't start doing this until about half a year after I started using it, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Oh, and I don't use the programmable buttons at all. The way they're positioned, I'm constantly pressing them on accident. On the upside, they're fun to click while waiting on a loading screen.

The one I'm using is this guy:

They obviously designed the Switch UI as if every gamer in the family would have their own, which is p rich for a $300+ whatsit, but I guess just stop being poor

I get not having folders to keep the UI as simple as possible, but I wish that there was at least a way to switch to a text only list view.

I want to just be able to organize the games in an order of my own choosing. They added a few new options, all of them suck. Time played would've been great if my first Switch hadn't been stolen (as in, a house robbery, not just me leaving it on the bus or something).

Btw this person is claiming to have someone who is possibly gonna leak the entire direct a day before it happens:

This person is gonna keep it to the discord and not post it on twitter, but I have no idea about the "few others" they mention

I get speculation, that can be fun, but what's the point in leaks? Especially if it's only a day before? Nothing wrong in just getting the information straight from the horse's mouth when the horse decides to speak. It's not like they're are never going to tell us.

It's a very mid 2000s fanboy mindset to have but I still enjoy the idea of a bunch of people simultaneously getting incredibly hyped at some sort of reveal. That's assuming there's any interesting reveals.

I think it's fairly certain we get at least one Smash DLC character announced, and we've got a rough idea of what games are coming although many of them we haven't seen anything of. I'm not entirely sure there will be a super surprise game announced but I guess we'll find out in a week. A BOTW sequel tease would be up there in terms of hype but they've been hitting the Zelda IP pretty hard lately so I think they might save that for next year.

I'm convinced we're getting two. I know we only got one new character during last E3's direct, but they also announced that everyone was coming back and half the direct was Smash. That's not gonna be the case this time.

The timeline is currently setup where they need to RELEASE 4 DLC characters in the next 8 months. I could conceivably see one character released on the day of the direct along with another announced, although I agree it's unlikely. They need to start pumping them out though.

Yo real talk, I don't think the direct wil devote that much time to it. I think we'll get one reveal with gameplay, and one reveal that's just the character announcement and that's it. Maybe a thing where it's like "4.0 information coming later this year" or something

At some point, Bowser will announce "We announce that we are releasing for the first time in the west a game from one of our most beloved RPG franchises. Yes, that game is--"

Then the Direct shatters.

It's Fire Emblem 1 for NES.

I've been enjoying it. It's a very straightforward rougelike, they aren't really trying to rock the boat in that sense, but it is good at what it does. There's a lot of different classes and abilities, a good amount of sub-systems to mess around with, and it can get pretty tough (although the difficulty scaling seems to be a little wonky, especially against boss enemies).
