    Feedback Switch 1 Pro Controller Vs. Switch 2 Pro Controller

    The d-pad is still a dud. All they had to do was use the Wii U's d-pad design, yet they didn't.

    The weekend is here, what are you playing?

    I've started Xenoblade X on Switch. I got the Switch 2 Edition cos I'm thinking to get a Switch 2 soon. So far the gameplay is decent. I'm looking forward to getting a mech and I'm hoping for an adventure.

    Hardware How to get a Zelda Switch 2? They sell out in seconds

    Does anyone have tips on how to get Zelda Switch 2 in the UK? They sell out really fast and they always go up for sale when I'm at work. Maybe there's a way to get a alert or join a queue? I've held off getting a Switch 2 for this long, and I was going to wait for a proper hardware enhancement...

    This is such a good podcast! I can't believe I haven't tried this before and it's been going since the Covid lockdowns. Time for me to catch-up.

    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    Am I the only one here that think the 3DS version is best-looking version? I appreciate these are "better graphics" but I don't think they suit the game and I don't think they have any character of their own.

    The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct recap, Ocarina of Time remake release date revealed

    Well it aired, and it looks like a disappointing 1:1 remake with graphics from Fable.

    Gaming Fewer smartphone ports

    Not many games seem to get smartphone ports anymore. Ten years ago, platform-maxing was popular and many console games would release on phones. That seems to be happening less and less. Are they any industry voices explaining why, or is this a quiet shift? I think the launch of Apple Arcade...

    Microsoft to introduce monthly playtime limits on their cloud gaming, additional time to be purchasable from the Xbox Store

    That's $2 per hour. For real? And 5h? Who subscribes to games to play for 5h per month? This is dead. Viva la revolution.

    Pre-orders open for the XBOX 25th Anniversary Collection

    It's interesting that on the linked page they call original Xbox "Original Xbox" with a capital O. That's not its name.

    Seems we're recompiling Wii games for iOS now

    Yes you can side-load a limited number of apps and set-up an automatic re-signer so they normally work.

    What are some other websites that someone who love this one might like?

    I hate it, but most of the old web has gone. Social media killed it. There's a German-language site where people used to do some console hacks, but its name escapes me. As I recall it was gate-kept against non-Germans. The only other surviving site that immediately comes to mind that has loads...
