Mario Odyssey isn’t a life sim game or particularly narrative-driven but it’s a drat good time, maybe see if you can still snag that $70 Odyssey/Pro Controller deal at Wal-Mart and give her the download code with her Christmas card? Then keep or sell the controller

Mario Kart peaked on the Super Nintendo. like Amber and Shadows, all these other games in the series are but a pale reflection of the original.

WHY BONER NOW posted:I was considering getting the street fighter 30th anniversary collection, it looks like a pretty good deal. But if the pro controller's d-pad is no good for it I'll save my money If you mash left and right, up and down will activate like 50% of the time, if you play as ken, no problem, if you play as chun-li, it's gonna suck. there is a solution which involves opening the controller and putting some scotch tape or electrical tape onto portions of the contact pads under the dpad, it's not too difficult, I did it, and it improved the dpad immensely, it does however do it still once in a blue moon, but I did a rush job without scissors so I could probably do better. I also had to do the same thing to my 8bitdo sn30 non +

I've only played Double Dash, Wii and 8. 8 feels like the best overall, but between Double Dash and Wii, the controls feel a lot better in Double Dash.

I hated Double Dash because I didn't like the mechanic where if you got hit you'd be slow to speed back up because your teammate was getting dragged around for awhile. That and I couldn't play as the characters I wanted because some of them just had lovely items.

Probably a no, but is there any site like https://isthereanydeal.com/ or https://gg.deals/ for Switch? And on a brighter note, Amazon informed me that my Switch has been shipped, so delivery tomorrow instead of the 26th. e:I do know Reddit has a deals/Switch section though.
