I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.
The Germans call this a Bierrettich (English pronunciation: Beer-Rat and that ich sounds like a short cat hiss). If you’re in Vienna, they‘d write it that way, but the local dialect‘d be like Bieradi (pronounced: Beeruhdee)
don‘t use it is waaay easier said then done. It’s not the first time you’ll need it, not the second time, but there will be this one passage in the game, could even be the final boss on your first try, where there happens to be a mechanic at phase 6 you don’t quite survive. The game then loads in before the first phase of the boss.
And because the boss was hard to get there, you rewind for the first time.
Then you get hit, and you rewind again.
Nintendo sold about 4-5x the amount of Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid and Xenoblade games on Switch than they did on WiiU and 3DS combined.
Input of a Xeno-series fan: duh. WiiU didn’t sell well and despite Xenoblade Chronicles X (pronounced cross, same name as the main character) being good, it was no system seller. And Xenoblade Chronicles 3D didn’t sell well either, being one of only 11 New3DS games.
Edit: the Kirby games on the 3DS were great! With Planet Robobot one of the best Kirby games ever.
I’ve heard a lot of praise from paranoid Linux users and they all like the way Apple intelligence works locally (we talked back when the first informations came through)
