News & Reviews:   game controller

40 years ago, Nintendo launched its redesigned Famicom console in the US as the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The company went on to create more consoles over the decades, but the original NES has a special place in many hearts. Special enough for 8BitDo to release NES-themed products.

You might have noticed that certain mobile games or cloud gaming services aren't too great with touch controls. In those cases, it's probably best if you use a controller. Some controllers weren't compatible with Android 12 before, but that's no longer a problem.

The pandemic has resulted in many staying indoors more. This also means that products like Nintendo Switch have become super popular. And one of the best things about this console is the free games you get as a Switch Online member. Well, that library of retro games will be expanded.

If you own a Nintendo Switch, you probably know how sub-par the Joy-Cons are. The buttons don't feel solid enough, are tiny, and the drifting problem on the analogue sticks is annoying. But while it might not be an upgraded Joy-Con, Nintendo could be working on a new controller.
