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

Nintendo Switch Firmware Update 20.5.0 is out now

I can’t take it anymore. I pick up my Switch. I check for updates. “A new system update is available.” I hesitate… what if this one breaks something. Maybe it will ruin my precious smoothness and stability. I hit “Install.” The system restarts without a hitch. The notice reads: "General system stabi

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

Best way to clean white joycons?

Very easy for Joy Cons! Did this with mine. All you need is two screwdrivers, one philips and one tri-wing. Tutorials can be found on iFixit

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

Shipping Update: Mobapad M12 Series Pre-orders

Yes they do. Yes the system recognizes them in a different way but that doesn't mean much. Even the original Nintendo Pro Controller gets detected as Joy Con. You won't have and connection or latency issues as both use a physical connection for data transmission :) If you value gyro over rumble that

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
