Also, the best I can tell, aside from some overheating issues of the original version, the joycons sometimes suffer drift issues. If you’re willing to make the fix yourself, the can be corrected for about $10.
    Did you play the new skyward sword?

      I bought it on Wii, but never played it past a few minutes. In short, I messed up my shoulder a week or so after buying it, kind of killing my Wii playing days. I think The Skyward Sword HD rerelease is only on the Switch, and I’m still looking to buy one of those.

      • On XBox Gamepass and Switch Friday!!!

        Now, how to retrain decades of muscle memory of holding an N64 controller into the new controller configuration for XBox.

        • Have you ever tried replaying that on an N64? I literally have no ****ing idea how we as kids moved our fingers and hands like that.

            How Nintendo went back to back on the worst controller designs on the N64 and GameCube after the greatness of the SNES controller still baffles me to this day.

              All Time Rankings:
              1. PS4 DualShock (It's the peak controller. It has everything you could need. Finely tuned. Durable. Capable. Possible the PS5 unseats this, but since about 12 people own a PS5...)
              2. SNES (this could be #1, look at the fact that virtually every controller released since 1990 has the ordinal direction four-button configuration. It changed everything.
              3. NES (It set the permanent configuration for movement on the left, buttons on the right. If Pong was the first amino acid, this was the first single-celled organism.)
              4. PS2 Dual Shock (it pains me this is so low)
              5. Wii (It brought everything we know of interactive and motion controls to the forefront)
              6. Genesis (diagonal? Sign me up!)
              7. PS1 (Quad shoulders, two handles? Again, major evolutionary change, but man did it hurt after a few hours)
              ...
              n. N64. There were some cool things this did, but it's almost unusable today.

              I honestly didn't play much Gamecube but looking at the controller, that thing sucks. ALso dishonorable mentions that I didn't really play but they look terrible:
              Jaguar
              Original Xbox controller
              Dreamcast
              Saturn 3D (what on ****in earth man)

              • Microsoft Kinect controller, while terrible for the console, is maybe the most important one made. It's used on a host of real world applications now.

                Microsoft, i think, also started the customizable (elite) controller. Where you could map additional buttons and replace parts.

                There regular controllers are fine, although the offset analog sticks can be odd for people.

                  Holy ****. That elite controller costs $180?! Yeah, that can go immediately above the N64 controller. That's literally insane.

                    As much as I love the PS4 controller and how great it is, the SNES controller is probably #1 for how influential it is. Every other controller nowadays is derived from it (now that Nintendo went back to it with the Switch). The PS1 DualShock is probably the closest in terms of influence since it was really the first with quality analog joysticks.

                    The N64 controller was weird and uncomfortable even when it was released.

                    • In terms of influence, absolutely.

                      Best designs for their time, got to be DS4. It's just so close to perfect.

                        • Does anyone have a ps5? You can actually get them now, debating. I’d like to play last of us, Witcher 3. Witcher 3 wasn’t great on Switch.

                          wondering if anyone who has it thinks it’s worth price

                          • I finally got my Switch. I lucked out, found a guy selling his Switch for $200, no missing parts, and it came with three games - Zelda, Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros. I’m not much interested in two of the three, but I might give them a shot.
