Maybe don't get it on Switch, though. Nintendo done screwed up. The joy-cons don't have an actual d-pad, and instead use four face buttons in the position a d-pad normally occupies. It works for most games, but for games that actually need a d-pad, it's complete garbage.

What do you mean here? The Xbox D-Pad is digital (as in, each direction either pressed or not, no nuances), so how is it different than 4 buttons?

First of all, I wouldn't hold up the Xbox d-pad as good, either. It's passable, but it's not great.

It's about feel. It's easier to slide my thumb around on a d-pad than it is with four circular buttons. They're small and spaced too far apart to easily slide my thumb around like I can on a d-pad.

Just for clarity's sake, here's a picture:

No d-pad, four circular face buttons. To move diagonally, you need to press two of these buttons at the same time. This design makes that difficult to do accurately, whereas a d-pad just feels better and makes it much easier to do reliably.

The Dualshock 4 also has four distinct buttons, too. But they're larger and much closer to each other, and honestly, being squared off and having that hard edge is a bigger deal than it might seem in terms of feeling.

Have a bunch of old SNES games laying around but can't hook your SNES up to a modern TV?

For a mere $200, you can get the new Super NT. I won't pretend to actually understand the real difference between FPGA and software emulation, but FPGA apparently has much better latency, so if you're a freak for SNES, maybe it's worth the cost.

FPGA is a set of programmable logic gates. So you set up those logic gates to become a certain chip. It's basically like having the real actual chip. It's flexible, and with a firmware update you can change the setup. It's how SD2SNES can add support for different addon chips later on.

Emulation translates the game instructions from one hardware platform to another.

200 seems like a lot when you can get a real snes at a used game store or ebay for much less.

Mine is coming today. After I get a chance to try it out I'll let you know my thoughts (and maybe some recordings to show how it looks).

Seems like a better use of money than rebuying the game because then you make every game on switch better (that I have played so far)

And you show Nintendo the world likes what I like.

I’m just saying, a little more coordinated effort and we could have saved the duke and maybe even made the GameCube controller large enough for me to hold.

Two things:

-I pretty much only play the Switch in handheld mode.

-I have the pro controller, and the d-pad on that thing sucks too, to be honest. It's better than the face buttons on the joy-cons, but only just.

In all honesty, the pro controller is fine, but I wish I wouldn't have wasted 70 freaking dollars (seriously Nintendo?) on it. I rarely am not in handheld mode, and it's not that much better better feeling that the joy-con dock thing, really. It's like a subpar 360 controller.

Why? 15 minutes isn’t very far, and the game layers on more mechanics as it goes.

I really like it, although I still haven’t finished it.
