That's completely understandable. I just went looking for the Xbox 360 controller and sadly, it's not Mad Catz, just another shitty off brand called PowerA. Still managed to outlast $200 worth of controllers. Please accept an even older PS2 micro controller. Neither has any issues, minus the hand grips on the N64 controller being cursed. Still the least cursed N64 one I own.

Why did you take a picture of a Kiwi Farms shirt with your anal dildo in frame??
 
whatever I feel like said:
Hard disagree, back in the PS2 era they were abysmal. They did get better over time but a large part of that is that third party controllers became so disliked that nobody would buy them and they had to retreat to fight sticks and other high-end items.

edit: I'll say this, though, they're better now than Power A is, those officially branded Power A switch controllers are absolutely awful.

Yeah, they were serviceable at best pre-PS3. They got good during that generation. One of the best controllers for fighting games I ever used came from them.
 
Cyberpunk co-developer says any 60 FPS Xbox Series can be easily ported to Nintendo Switch 2, despite the console being closer to a PS4 in terms of raw performance
"Since most games tend to be more GPU-bound than CPU-bound when well optimized, the impact of this difference largely depends on the specific game and its target frame rate. Any game shipping at 60 FPS on the Series S should easily port to the Switch 2. Likewise, a 30 FPS Series S game that’s GPU-bound should also port well. Games with complex physics, animations, or other CPU-intensive elements might incur additional challenges in reaching 30 or 60 FPS or require extra optimization during porting."

Yeah Mad Catz had a horrible reputation asides from their fightsticks, which explains why they ended up going bankrupt in 2017. I suppose it's good to hear that whoever bought the brand is doing a decent job.

I can't get myself to touch a Nintendo product again, the stigma nowadays is just too strong. I'd rather look like a jackass in public with a diesel generator hooked up to this than play Mario Kart on my recycled nVidia chip tablet. And... and... you can play 360 games on it! Yeah!

If I saw you playing on that on the subway or at work I'd find it much stranger than whatever bing bing wahoo shenanigans the tendie was up to.

I'd casually show @MF-690T the Switch 2 in my jacket pocket before telling him to stop begging in the subway and get a real job so that he can race me when he gets his own Switch 2.

My friend actually got one and it's quite nice, I was being pretty autistic when I made that comment about the Xbox. I think it even has more RAM, 12GB vs 10GB. Plus the Xbox has gotten more expensive.
I don't know, maybe I'll look into it. Farming Simulator might actually get a non half-assed port so that's cool.
 
Loving my Switch 2. Finally got around to playing Guardians of Azuma after putting it off for a month to play Fantasy Life 2, and itms waaaaaaay better than I thought it would be.

I’m also playing a little bit of Atelier Yumia and Hitman. Hitman especially is kino.

So what’s with someone getting their switch 2 banned for playing second hand Switch 1 games? How is Nintendo able to do that?

The theory is that rapidly swapping cards trips whatever they use to detect Mig Cards, which would be as retarded as every other design decision they made for the Switch 2.

That's what people think is happening? I heard it was due to some form of identifier in the game card being copied by the MIG Switch and Nintendo's systems detecting the two systems running the game.

That said, if it happens to you with a game you've purchased from a store like GameStop I've heard that opening a support ticket with Nintendo and showing them the receipt tends to fix these bans.

Used games. Someone bought a game from Facebook marketplace and he got his switch 2 banned.

>Facebook marketplace
Well that's on the guy who thought buying used games off of Facebook Marketplace was a good idea, the used game hardware/software marketplace there has become a cesspool of scammers in recent years.
