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

For the first time, there isn't any upcoming first-party Switch 1 content

Suggestions like “sell a dockless version, sell a joycon-less version” etc all fail to acknowledge that a large reason why these accessories are so expensive when bought separately is because Nintendo needed SOMETHING to take a hit in order to keep the Switch 2’s price low, not because it’s actually

Should I get a Steam Deck or Switch 2

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

ANALYSIS: PS5 sales drift behind PS4, while Sony says it’s undecided on PS6 release date and price | VGC

The Switch 2 made sense. The Switch 1 was at its limit in so many ways, advancements in handheld consoles had made big strides, and the Switch 2 is a tangible improvement over the OG. Agreed. It's been a little over two months since I got mine and I'm still in love with this device. It feels like wh

Before I return my M12 S

I really struggle to find why Nintendo refuses to make an ergonomic Joy Con. I feel like a first party Pro Con like the Split Pad Pro with all the Joy Con features (NFC, mouse, HD rumble) would sell like gang busters! Offer them in themes and generic colors! If I had a 3d printer, I could see myself

Is there a Nintendo equivalent of Concord?

Nah it's essentially a developmental tool they released for 30 bucks. I would suspect the majority of dev time and resources into it were useful for the joycon 2 and this was just a slightly polished version of some dev tool they had for testing the joy cons new features. To be a Concord you need to

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

Gaming In your 30s. (I've been doing it wrong)

Dude, I am playing They are millions and holy shit my joy cons are also a mouse? I love this thing. I feel the same. Nintendo can have my money when I still feel like a kid whenever I play my switch lol.
