    The official pro one?

    I was looking into one yesterday as the joycon are too fiddly and aren't too comfy in the grip they provide either. The 8bitdo ultimate seems to be the best reviewed controller for the Switch, from watching various youtubers reviews. Essentially just looks like an Xbox controller but with hall effect sticks.

    If you prefer the left stick in the wrong place and aren't bothered by potential stick drift down the line, they also have a cheaper offering. Even cheaper too if you don't want the translucent colours.

    Just seems like the days of your 3rd party controllers being unusable chunky crap are pretty much gone. Even the cheaper ones around £15-20 seem fine and reasonably comfy to use.

    Pro one, official yeah. Just feels like the face buttons are hard, horrid plastic. Playing a race on MK8 and I could feel them boring a hole into my thumb.

    The adapter + xbox or ps5 controller is perfect. It just reads it as a pro controller and works out the box.

    I have an Xbox One controller, is the adapter one of those sticks they sell on Amazon?

    I sent the 8bitdo one back. It was a bit crap after extensive testing.

    Got the 'MAYFLASH MAGIC NS 2' instead which is amazing.

    And yeah, Amazon mate. Plug it in the USB, pick the console 'colour', sync button on stick and controller. Ten seconds later, works perfect.

    Do you miss much functionality with the XBox one? Are one of the ones you mention above designed for full functionality or are they generic ones to fit all consoles?

    The Mayflash one has rumble and all that. I think with a PS5 controller you may even get motion controls, but I used a Series X controller.

    Woth 8bitdo you get none of that.

    My Pro controller serves me well enough. Even use it for PC games.

    Apparently it is a great controller. I just despise the sticks, buttons and feel of it.

    Got Tinfoil working again on my switch, making getting games much easier, so loaded it up with a few things.

    The switch turns 7 today. What a fantastic little console.

    The re releasing of advance wars caught me by surprise. Bought it immediately on sight and planning giving it a roar tonight.

    Just finished the 25 missions in advance wars, takes ages but still so good. Advance wars 2 to go.

    For whatever reason I got it for £20 in Asda so it’s been incredible value already, both for quality and nostalgia.

    Any hacky stuff to do with one of these better than the likes of just putting full Android on it? I haven't turned mine on since I got a few weeks play out of the launch of Mario Wonder, might as well get some use out of it.

    You’ll need to add a mod chip to it to do anything, only the first models let you do it via just software. Unless you can solder, you’ll have to send it to someone. Then you can add emulators and pirate things.

    ^100% worth doing/paying for, even if Tinfoil shops aren’t what they used to be.

    I'll look into it, would be fit to solder up to a point. Mine would be fairly recent, probably 12-18 months.

    In similar news, I've just got a new 512GB SD for mine, currently moving over my EmuNand and all the files (the people who make programs to do this are superstars) Meaning I've double to space, so any quiet bangers of a game recommendations are welcomed.

    Got Mario Kart as it was on sale in the Nintendo store, it's pretty good but that lightning thing is a bit too common for such a cunt of a thing.

    Best version since the DS. Great game, and so much replayability.



    Has anyone played on a regular switch and an OLED handheld and convince me it's worth the upgrade?

    If you don't have a Switch now you'll likely not notice the difference. If you do, you will. It just depends if the bigger and better screen is worth another £300 outlay to you.

    They are also likely to drop Switch 2.0 info at any time now, if that makes a difference.

    I’ll leave it and stick with my “v2.”

    Was just someone selling one, but my moneys better spent elsewhere. Cheers.

    Looks like it'll be the same thing but bigger and more powerful. I'll get it as soon as a game I really want come out, hopefully on release.

    I'll skip it. I barely played the last one. Bought 5 games for the whole thing.

    Day one. Love the Switch, it's also ace for the kids. Hopefully this one is hacked too.

    Botw, Odyssey, and fire emblem three houses made it worth it for me. Also triangle strategy. Should go back and finish TOTK.

    Oh yes, and Mario RPG.

    I want to finish Metroid Dread and Breath of the Wild before picking up something like Metroid Prime Remaster or Tears of the Kingdom. It occurs to me the only Nintendo franchise I'll drop everything for is the fat plumber.

    I have concerns about the joycon snapping off and bending the connector if dropped. I'd also like to see Hall Effect sensors in there. If they don't by now then they're doing it on purpose.

    The rest will probably be just a very similar experience to the OG Switch but with things running easier and looking a bit more pretty.
