Like the idea of switch cause it'll be a god tier portable emulation station when it gets hacked

>it doesnt even have a dpad

Who the fuck at Nintendo approved this shit? I can't be comfy in bed playing old games with this shitty dpad. Its not even a dpad, its just four buttons. Hell this shit is worse than sony dpads; at least its actually one. Nintendo fucked up big time with this shit.

inb4 some autist suggests playing with the pro controller in bed. You should be thrown in a volcano if that thought even crossed your mind

I think a patent exists with a d-pad on a joycon. Maybe they'll be released later?

>MFW when these autistic faggots are started to look for even the smallest details to get infuriated deliberately

>having a functional dpad is now a small detail

>implying its an impossible task to use four buttons as a d-pad

That still doesn't make it shit

They didn't have a choice. Their design decision was to make a controller that you can snap in half for a quick 2 player setup. The alternative would've been a d-pad on the Joy-con (R) for the buttons, and people would be complaining about that one a lot more.

My only real beef with the design is how the analog sticks a directly above and below the buttons. There's a reason why pretty much EVERY controller for the past 15 years has put the analog sticks diagonally to the d-pad and buttons.

If only they had seen that it was a terrible choice from the start to make each joycon its own controller

No one wants to play on that tiny, cramped thing

You wanna rephrase that?

Fatass detected.

Yeah, I feel the same way. But it makes sense from their perspective, because they can sell you a bunch of accessorizes and different joycons now, separately of course.

So they can jew harder than they already sre?

Post hands, faggot.

Why does it matter whether it's a D-Pad or buttons, when you have a stick as an alternative?

You too. Post hands.

...

I wish I could squat like that

Coward.

>he has tiny girl hands
I hope you're a proctologist

I guess that's true.

You dense motherfucker, you can just buy an Nvidia K1 and have infinitely superior experiences compared to "well, in 4+ years, it'll be hacked and I can play unoptimized emulators with a risk of bricking"

I slapped Retroarch on my shield and I've been playing everything up to PSP & DS just fine, with no ads and other annoying bits. I can plug my shield into a TV with HDMI and switch it to console mode for a boost in power (sound familiar?) and have it output up to 4k, while also having full access to my PC games, since I can stream those to my tablet due to having an Nvidia card. Even if I didn't, I could just put a number of other options on to stream from my PC to my tablet and have a good experience. HELL, people have streamed their Wii U's to their shield tablets without any issues, as well as their PS4s

You dipshits are too small time and wanting to emulate Super Mario World for the sixty fourth time, when you could have access to thousands upon thousands of games already AND future proof due to internet speeds and wifi advancing over time.

You wanted me to post hands, midget.

You mean Nu-Sup Forums

Post your hands

Its not like you've ever gonna be playing multiplayer with each man on a joycon for extensive periods of time. Hell stuff like arms dont even support that.

If multiplayer is actually a serious thing, you're gonna be buying a pro controller, or banking on your friend having a switch too.

...

One thing will convince me. Can I use a ds4 with the tablet you mentioned?

>android

No thanks

>autistic screeching

...

You literally dont belong on Sup Forums if you dont have autism

Leave normo

>when it gets hacked

Maybe that's why they did it like this.

WOOOOOOOOW NICE SPOILERS FAGGOT THANKS FOR RUINING THE MOVIE FOR ME

Where do you get your cocaine?

Yes, with a cheap $1 OTG cable. I used mine for emulators, and apparantly it could connect via bluetooth in the past, but updates broke that.

I bought the $60 shield controller this weekend and it handles about as well as a DS4, and also has a headphone jack so you have wireless audio. I spent my weekend laying on the couch playing stuff like Demon's Crest and Ultimate Ghouls & Ghosts on the TV, while having the audio right through my headset, and using the proprietary audio slider to adjust the audio whenever I wanted. Could pop the headphones out and adjust the TV's audio as well through the controller.

You can use an OTG cable to connect your DS4 to just about any tablet or phone, though the K1 is only $200, has quad core and actually decent tech under the hood, as well as HDMI out, and other bells and whistles. Loads of emulation vids from a few years ago showcasing it. It's powerful enough on its own that it has built-in twitch streaming that can also use the camera as a webcam. It handles up to 5th gen (and 6th gen handhelds) rather well, so I'm satisfied with this new emulation device that can also do tablet things as needed.

Or you can use it to connect to your PC and play whatever. I hopped onto Steam in my living room and played some Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed without much problem, and walked into the room my PC was in to see it running everything I was seeing streamed to my tablet in the other room.

>buying a 200€ tablet to emulate DS and PSP games
I can emulate them on my fucking 7 year old Samsung Galaxy S2 and I have no reason to hook up my portable to my tv because there's that magic thing called HDMI cables.

For emulation? Pretty much, yeah. It's about as bad as a 360 d-pad.
