Nintendo Switch - News, Updates, and Information

I was hesitant to buy Tears of the Kingdom after I slogged my way through Breath of the Wild using the joycons in the controller handle thing. Finally bought Tears two weeks ago and, by the suggestion of another poster, decided to buy and try out the 8bitdo wireless USB adapter to use a normal controller on the switch.

Oh my god. What a joy it is using one of my Xbox controllers for Zelda. Other than the button layout being different (which isn’t a huge deal since most prompts on screen show which direction button to press), this is just fabulous. I’ve sunk like 70 hours into Tears now and I can’t believe I didn’t try one of the solutions sooner.

Absolutely the best accessory I’ve bought for the switch. I actually may go back and pick up some of the other games I skipped out on over the years now. For most of my 2d games I use an snes style controller and it’s great but the 3D games are often hard to enjoy on that controller or the joy cons.
