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

Nintendo Switch Firmware Update 20.5.0 is out now
I can’t take it anymore. I pick up my Switch. I check for updates. “A new system update is available.” I hesitate… what if this one breaks something. Maybe it will ruin my precious smoothness and stability. I hit “Install.” The system restarts without a hitch. The notice reads: "General system stabi

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

Best way to clean white joycons?
Very easy for Joy Cons! Did this with mine. All you need is two screwdrivers, one philips and one tri-wing. Tutorials can be found on iFixit

Switch 2 controllers now have 9-Axis support on PC
It is included, since programmers who have been deciphering how the controllers work have found the magnetometer data. I've read that they were discovered in teardowns too. But indeed it is interesting that Nintendo never mentioned it. I don't think it's even mentioned in Welcome Tour. I did assume

The new Xbox Elite 3 and Cloud controllers has been leaked.
I’m sure that’s a fine controller but it can’t wake the Switch 2 from sleep which would make it a non starter for me, personally. Also, I haven’t tried one to test the vibration but I’m guessing at that price it isn’t anywhere near as good as what’s in first party Nintendo controllers. The jury is s

Nintendo switch repair
That joy-con drift was really bad on my Switch 1. Nintendo will fix them for free if you send them off, but you have to open up a ticket on their website first. The after market joy con stick replacements are just as bad if not worse than the original ones. It takes a couple of weeks to get the joy
