I have 3 8bitDo controllers and they’re great. I even prefer them over the Switch Pro Controller. The Pro 2 is awesome, and my SN30 has so much use on it, I had to get replacement rubbers (for free, from 8bitdo) for the sticks since I wore them out!
However, the Nintendo 64 stick is very particular. I bought their N64 Mod Kit and joystick, and the joystick is ok. It’s not great though. For games where the joystick precision is important, you can notice a big difference. And if I’m paying hundreds of dollars for a “premiun N64”, I’d expect a better reproduction of the N64 stick than what they did with the Mod Kit. We haven’t heard anything new since the first teaser, I have some hope. But the N64 controller stick is so particular… We’ll see!
I’m looking forward to more information on the Analogue 3D. But I don’t trust 8bitDo to do the joysticks justice. It’s also going to be like a quadrillion hundred dollars plus shipping and import taxes. So it’ll be a really hard decision 😅
I finished Zelda shortly after I posted my original comment. It was pretty good! There are some minor things that could be improved (an update hopefully?) but all in all it was quite fun. The puzzles are great, using the echoes and Tri opens up a lot of possibilities to solve them. It’s very much a Zelda in essence, but with lots of new experiences and it does bring in some of the stuff from BotW and TotK into 2D Zelda. Feels like a great new title in the Zelda franchise and maybe it’ll allow for Four Swords/Tri Force Heroes co-op kind of game where you can play with both Link and Zelda in the future. It’s great to see Zelda evolving with the times, still providing fun games, although the story forces us to have our suspension of disbelief full on. It makes absolutely no sense to have a new rewrite of the story each game 😅 (What? Zelda didn’t know who Link was?!?!).
I went back to explore after I beat the final boss. I was not even close to finding all the heart containers! And I need to see how many echoes I’ve missed (gotta catch 'em all!).
Halls of Torment came out of Early Access recently. Just a coincidence that I randomly ended up playing it to be honest. It’s not the kind of game I usually go for, but it’s been really fun!
I think I’m at the end or very close to the end of Echoes of Wisdom. I will probably finish that on the weekend.
I’ve been playing Halls of Torment on Linux and it’s quite addictive. I don’t think I had played anything similar before, but my first impression was “a mix between original Gauntlet and Diablo”. Pretty fun!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
What an unnecessary, silly project no one asked for. When can I order one outside the US?!? 😂
