Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 review: Despite pointer issues, this is still 3D platforming at its very best | VGC

The Switch 2 Joy Con shouldn't have the same issues the Switch 1's gyro has with the constant calibration and drifting. It's much more consistent in that regard. I've been playing Skyward Sword, World of Goo and Okami with it, and I've been requiring much less calibration than it did on Switch 1. Ho

Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 review: Despite pointer issues, this is still 3D platforming at its very best | VGC

Nintendo and their weird control restrictions, Been playing Galaxy 2 and the handheld tilting is such a pain on tough levels. Wish they'd just let us use mouse controls for single player too. At least the Joy-Con drift isn't as bad this time around.

È questo quello che intendo quando dico che gli anni 2000/primi anni 2010 sono stati la “Golden Age” della tecnologia, prima che la piaga della SaaS-pocalypse/features vendute a parte prendesse il sopravvento

Per nessun motivo al mondo poi. Incredibile che per una volta sia stata Nintendo a fare la mossa pro-consumer: i Joy-Con funzionano tutti su tutte le console

[Hobby Scuffles] Week of 13 July 2026

The left thumbstick on my Switch Lite finally gave up the ghost a month ago; it was having a lot of problems deciding "up" really meant "up," which was bad because I really wanted to go forward in Breath of the Wild, and, well... So I had a couple options. I could spend $70 to buy a Joy-Con, but the

Steam deck vs lenovo legion go (anyone of them) vs nintendo switch

I have been repeating this several times. The Switch 2 just works. People say: "Get a Steam Deck" but even though SteamOS is more streamlined than Windows, at the end of the day it is a PC, so you will be tweaking and tinkering with settings, adjustments, controller configurations. It is not a "just

One year later and this did not aged well

ps5 and xbox series don't use any magnetic technology, i just looked it up I think even if nintendo wanted to, it probably wouldn't work with joyon 2 due to form factor and the interference with the magnets attaching to the switch 2 s2 joy cons are not identical to s1 and clearly have some improveme

The new Xbox Elite 3 and Cloud controllers has been leaked.

I’m sure that’s a fine controller but it can’t wake the Switch 2 from sleep which would make it a non starter for me, personally. Also, I haven’t tried one to test the vibration but I’m guessing at that price it isn’t anywhere near as good as what’s in first party Nintendo controllers. The jury is s

Excited for months to play Halo with my kid only to find out...

It is pretty limited to Mario party, they technically do have couch co op in the typical Nintendo fashion forcing you to use joycons 1 player controls the ship while the other uses "mouse mode" to shoot. Super underwhelming game play imo I hate being forced to use the new gimmick. Kinda like how the

Advice needed for my sons birthday

They tend to be pretty easy, they come with instructions but YouTube is also your friend!The switch has a controller menu and when in that menu and turning on the controller it should auto connect. If it’s new joycons physically connecting them where the ones that come with it are should work too. (

【Update】 Switch 2 Joy-Cons and Pro Controller 2 Wireless Connection for Windows 10/11 v0.1.0

Good news: I figured out the Eden latency issue. It was caused by Eden’s “Direct Pro Controller Support” option. Once I disabled that, everything works perfectly. I can close and reopen Eden many times and the controller stays super responsive. So this was not an issue with your app — sorry for the
