Any weird/controversial opinions? I’ll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi’s tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn’t have.
I’ll extend this by saying that the Wiimote is actually pretty damn good for shooters, and particularly good for accessibility. Not having to cramp up my hands to press buttons is awesome for having arthritis. Aiming with the Wiimote and moving with the nunchuck just feel really natural, you barely have to move your fingers for anything.
Interested to see how hot this take actually is but… The Nintendo switch is the best console ever made. As a lifelong Nintendo fan boy (Nes, right the way through) I may be a little biased but I have also owned various PS/Xbox and I don’t think I’ve spent as much time on any console as the Switch. Being locked inside for a few years during the pandemic helped, but even a year or so after that I’m still playing. It helps that Breath of the wild is maybe one of the best games ever made, and Tears of the Kingdom is, so far, an incredible sequel. But also playing Overcooked with my wife and more recently Mario Kart (a personal “couples goal” of mine I never thought would happen) has filled so many lazy Sundays with hours of gaming joy.
That’s a big claim when the Steam Deck exists
Yeah, Steam Deck costs a little more, can play newest AAA titles handheld, can play Switch games too, can buy a shit ton of games for cheap because of Steam Sales, and gives you a whole desktop if you plug it in a dongle. Also, it’s an open system, so you can actually install any OS on it, if you like.
I love my Switch SO much, but I find myself playing Switch games on my computer way more than my Switch now…
Now that’s a hot take!
I find it incredibly uncomfortable to play on. Games are way too expensive too, and the console is massively underpowered. To each their own though.
Agreed. Enjoy the hot take tho. I love the pro controller and I love playing switch games on my computer.
