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

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

We need more interactions where grifters/haters "team" up.

It is, though. In fact, I got stick dritf on my Dual Sense 7 months after I bought the console, while it took 4 years to happen with my Joy-Cons. At leat Nintendo sent me new ones with no charge. Sony made me buy a new controller all together. So far I haven't heard anything about it on the Switch 2

Switch 2 controllers now have 9-Axis support on PC

It is included, since programmers who have been deciphering how the controllers work have found the magnetometer data. I've read that they were discovered in teardowns too. But indeed it is interesting that Nintendo never mentioned it. I don't think it's even mentioned in Welcome Tour. I did assume

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

Nintendo switch repair

That joy-con drift was really bad on my Switch 1. Nintendo will fix them for free if you send them off, but you have to open up a ticket on their website first. The after market joy con stick replacements are just as bad if not worse than the original ones. It takes a couple of weeks to get the joy

“HES USING LOGIC AND MATH! GET HIM!”

This is something that exists for most controllers. The only first-party Hall effect controllers are the Sega Saturn controller, the Dreamcast controller, and the Steam Controller - all the analog sticks Sony and Microsoft have used are potentiometers, as well as every stick Nintendo's used since th

Qualcuno mi può aiutare con questo problema? (Switch 2)

Io mi trovo da Dio con questa qui: https://amzn.eu/d/0ezTm5je Anche per la Switch 1 utilizzavo un grip fatto da loro (al tempo si chiamavano Skull & Co., ora hanno cambiato nome in Savage Raven). Entra facilmente nel dock con tutta la cover, non devo mai toglierla. Se invece vuoi un grip con i joy-c

I don’t know how it works in other countries, but here Sony refused to replace my controller. Same thing happened to my cousin. Honestly, their controllers feel pretty low quality since a lot of people end up with the same issues. The DualSense is an improvement over the DualShock 4, but that’s not
