3D world is driving me nuts. It looks great and the level design is cool and super varied. Also a big fan of 3D land and the old school 2D formula in a 3D Mario game. But something about the controls or camera angles just make it feel so imprecise and hard to gauge where I'm jumping that it just feels awful to play a lot of the time. I thought i'd get used to it but nope. I don't know if I'd go as far as saying it ruins the game but it's drat close.

You know you can move the camera, right? I don't think there is a single place in the game where you have to do weird jumps where you can't move the camera so you are going forward or left/right. It defaults to that weird angle but is movable.

Again a very likpatous story
I finally decided to spend my brother's Christmas present and got the SMB3 pro controller. It's kind of nice, but there's one problem: it doesn't seem to be able to scan amiibo. I know in the regular pro controller the scan point is in the top center under the Switch logo, but there's no Switch logo on the SMB3 controller and I moved the amiibo up and down and all around on the center with no luck. I also tried using it over the right stick and even the top of the controller, but still nothing. So I had to just swap in my joycons and use the right stick to scan it. Doesn't make the controller bad or anything and I rarely scan amiibo anyway but it's still a slight annoyance. As is no rumble, though I know that's just how all pro controllers are.

Pretty good

PowerA controllers superficially resemble pro controllers but they're not the same thing at all. No amiibo, no rumble, no gyro.

e. Or maybe they do have gyro? Getting mixed results looking it up.

Faster than the others



I have one of the PowerA controllers and afaik it doesn't have gyro. At the very least I wasn't able to get it to work on BOTW, when I could get a DS4's gyros to work through an adapter.

Mine definitely has motion, I was able to use motion to look around when I was using the binoculars in Mario Odyssey. I also actually had no idea this wasn't an actual pro controller. It's fine, I probably still would have gotten it anyway. Looking it up it's actually apparently 20 bucks cheaper than a pro controller (which makes sense given it doesn't have rumble or an NFC reader).

Not sure old was the right term as much as just not in much use/demand:

Did anyone get Windbound in the end? Did the updates add much? I was tempted until the initial reviews

The updates don't add any worthwhile content and the game itself is very repetitive and boring. You can also break it over your knee even in the first "level". Saw a few glowing reviews for it and bought it day one, unfortunately there's not much game there. The idea, graphics and the feel of the sea are really great though and if the devs build on that they can deliver something special.

The article (or the reporter in a separate tweet, I forget) mentioned the specific type of OLED screen is older/cheap.

Specifically it's a hard flat single piece, where now most manufacturers are only wanting to buy the foldable, flexible, or curved kind wholesale.

move the camera (up/down, right/left) with the right analog stick and never use Luigi

Yes, a more powerful newer version of a console will have games which weren't possible to port to a less powerful console. That's a given. Nothing about the specifications of the new console has been confirmed. That shtick of "b-b-but insiders!" is really dumb and tiring.

I beat the whole game playing exclusively as Luigi and always holding the run button. And I even jumped straight off the map the first time I played.

Apparently adapting is really hard for some people.

Keeping it portable with three use modes and affordable in the same way means it's not going to be the PS6 or whatever but we don't loving know a single actual fact about it yet lmao

Yeah I agree on the Robo-Ridley boss fight. Overall I still love the game, I just wish Samus Returns was as good as Zero Mission.

I'm of the opposite opinion, but mostly because SR's way of doing completion jives with what I like about Metroid with regards to story telling, and I found the puzzles more creative than another Shinespark puzzle like a lot of the GBA era Metroid titles devolved to by the end. My personal Metroid tier list is one where the games aside from Other M and the first two are only separated by the smallest of margins because they are all that drat good.

EDIT: Not that Shinespark puzzles are bad or anything, I just feel like the GBA titles/AM2R overloaded on them too much for my liking.

I love this phase of new console speculation because some people get pre-mad about what a company might do that when the product is revealed, they get even more mad because it's different.

Kid, I've been through every console war and the only ones gettin' hurt are the ones hurtin' themselves.
