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

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

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

Glowing Home button

I had no idea the pro controller could light up. I wasn’t even sure if the joy-cons actually did since I never saw the light (until your post). Nintendo is so weird about their LED notifications

Pro-Tip: Too many kids to hold 1 controller effectively? Set a second controller to "controller assist" and have one for each hand.

My left joy con keeps going into Mouse mode

But it still works at a certain angle, so depending on how you hold your Joy Con a middle or ring finger might trigger the mouse mode. It could also be that Nintendo improved the recognition of the sensor, because i remember having that accidental mouse mode problem early on but could not replicate

guys…where’s mouse mode?

It's a shooting game on the switch 2, where the joy-con comes built in with mouse functionality. Yes, they better actually make mouse mode possible. That's what mice are for in the context of video games. If Nintendo doesn't put mouse functionality in their biggest shooting game, why the hell did I
