It would be cool if they allowed you to use generic $10 xbox style controllers.
The pro controller looks like an xbox controller IMO.
A person could easily get a 6-8ft usb extension and a usb controller and save 55 bucks.
I doubt they will allow this though.
The joy cons in the grip are also almost exactly the same angle/dimensions as an XB1 controller (a little wider). Only real difference is stick placement.

Ah gotcha. At least it's not Australia pricing, right? xD

Hopefully CEMU has better performance by then for you poor souls willing to brave the Wii U version. :yayswitch:
Oh! Thx for the CEMU reminder... I have a good PC, so i think i play the game on my Computer...(When it dosen't have problems...)

i aint gonna say anything till i hold one, that said i have never held a hori pad that was better in quality then an official controller...... I might one for noobs to play multiplayer. There was one controller that is better then an official controller and thats the snes ascii pad. Been using that for 23 years... It was not made by Hori btw. Best d-pad is snes hands down.

1. Do you really need wireless controller on the go?
2. Do you wanna suffer battery loss on the go?
1- yes. Spoiled for years with wireless, it's hard to go back on newest consoles :P
2- it's not going to be a problem, honestly

Also, I don't know is this post sounded like I was whining about it, but I swear I was not, haha

I don't like the look of that hori controller, I'll stick with the official pro controller for now. It's pretty much identical to my xbox one controller I use for pc. I can't really tell the difference when holding them other than the triggers. No complains on the official pro controller.

Hori has disappointed me on the Switch case I bought...

My next accessory will be the pro controller. It does have the gyro/accelerometer right?

I would prefer an official wired Pro Controller if Nintendo decides to make one without NFC too since the Joy Cons already have that function.

So an official wired Pro Controller without Bluetooth,NFC and battery for cheaper price tag would be my ideal choice, less input lag and no charging needed.

LOL...I play on a monitor so I'm only only about 3 feet away from the monitor and perhaps two feet away from the console dock.

$90 Canadian for Pro Controller kinda hurts my wallet, $50 for an official wired one would make me happier camper.

Unfortunately, the Hori Pro Controller seems to have been delayed as retailers (especially Amazon) don't have it up for sale/pre-order. Hori's Pro Controller obviously is lacking the technology of the Joy-Cons/Pro Controller but it's also a lot cheaper.

Maybe the WiiU Pro Controller will eventually be compatible with the Switch.

I love aiming the bow on the SPC with motion controls. :)

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
