I do wonder how the classical mode (permadeath of character units in chapter 4 onwards) is gonna play out on my Hard playthrough, but this eventually could be a rather stressful musou game. I had Hubert and Monika losing 50% of their HP during the chapter 4 scenario while I was focused on other objective tasks, so things might get hairy later.

-Similarly to Age of Calamity, you can order ally characters to attack specific enemies on the map or defend an unit
-Monster bosses made a comeback but without the dungeon item gimmick of Hyrule Warriors DX that was rather annoying
-You can apparently change classes for each character (which I assume different movesets as a result) but I haven't gone deep in detail yet

Game runs pretty well in both dock and handheld mode. Although again it's a musou game so do expect framedrops when things gets really busy on screen.

I checked also the translation of the game in my language, out of curiosity, and it's the usual shit that isn't part of the original script or things lost in translation (like Petra's inability to speak in a natural flow, which I get to assume it's not her native tongue). But that's more a nitpick of mine.

I have a Taiko Tatsujin drum (from Horii) and the Densha de Go! handle controller (from Zuiki) which are both imported japanese products working fine on my system. Granted they're both usb-wired but region shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.

I have a wired Hori controller that I bought when I bought my Switch. Works like a charm. I never use the joycons when playing on my tv.

I am having a bit of trouble currently, so maybe you guys can help.

Recently, I went out and got the special pro controller for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It shipped from Japan and all looks good. So I tried to hook it up, and the thing is being a total bitch about it. It struggles to pair, refuses to update, and the rumble was atrocious when playing Mario Kart.

I did get it to work, and it can be a decent controller, but even still, no updates and you cannot turn on the Switch by pressing home.

Is there issues between regions with controllers, or is the controller just a piece of shit? I am hoping it is the ladder as I have a Splatoon one coming too, so I would hate to waste money on two non-functioning controllers when a region free system should be fine with it.

I tried to ask about it on the Switch Reddit, but no technical questions allowed because you cannot discuss or something. There are tons of issues threads from that very Reddit you can find on Google, but I guess they are now banning it.

You sure it's genuine? I tried getting one from CEX and it looked super convincing until I tried it out, realised the rumble felt atrocious and Amiibo support just didn't work. Fakes can look pretty fucking legit at times.

Xenoblade 3 Special Edition preorders are apparently live and crashing Nintendo’s site. Also, the goodies are apparently shipping seperately at a later date.

That's what happens when you take a highly anticipated game and make the special edition exclusive to the storefront of a company that still can't figure out basic online functionality that every other console manufacturer had 10 years ago because they were too stupid to see the blindingly obvious trajectory that "consoles are going to go online".

Hopefully this means when I finally get the chance to put down my UK preorder, it'll go smoother. But we are talking about Nintendo here, so I wouldn't be surprised if they fuck up in the exact same way again. They have a knack for doing that.
 
Since there's controller talk: For anyone that cares, 8bitdo currently has a promotion for 15% off their Pro2 controller on Amazon. Use 15PRO2 during checkout. Comes out to $46 total for me. Ends midnight pacific.

You’re missing out, 8bitdo is great. I just wish controllers in general weren’t so expensive now; but I guess that’s what happens when everything becomes wireless.

It wasn't that they couldn't see it. They could. They simply rejected it and tried to flow against the current because it wasn't something that Nintendo invented and wanted to push. We all see how that worked out.

They actually had "okay for the time" service on Wii U and then regressed for Switch. And the regression was a success, so any lessons they learned then have since been deliberately unlearned.
 
According to spergs I follow Bayonetta 3 got put at the top of Nintendo’s store page like it did last year when we finally got a trailer. We’re probably getting gameplay at whatever direct they’re doing next week.

Hori accessories are generally of good quality, although the running gag is that the company still can't into bluetooth
I also own those two other things from the same manufacturer besides the Taiko drum

The usb stand was more useful back when I had the Switch v2 model last year as its kickstand was a joke (unlike the OLED model), although I still use the usb stand whenever I want to connect one of my special controllers, or/and recharge the system, in tablet mode. The black storage case wasn't expensive (less than 2,000 yen) and does the job fine as something compact (it can store a switch, dock, pro controller, a hdmi cable, the ac adapter and eventually a cartridge storage case)

Can confirm, the Pro 2 is a pretty great controller and there's some cheapo USB adapters that support them across different consoles, so you can use a Pro 2 with PlayStations and Xboxes alongside doubling as a Switch Pro controller and a PC controller.

whatever I feel like said:
Don't buy those cheap looking "official" third party Switch controllers. You know, the garish ones with gold tri-forces on them and such. I got one for twenty dollars and it sucked, I had to buy an official pro-controller afterwards.

PowerA's later releases after their initial lineup's been pretty consistent at being replacements for the official Switch Pro controller though.
 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge will launch next week (June 16) on Switch
According to the game's description, enemy groups scale in size based on the number of players.
