Probably doesn't help that getting a proper D-pad for a system that does not come with one is one of the few reasons people are buying pro controllers in the first place, so of course they're going to be picky about it.
Yeah, I’ve had to tolerate some garbage controllers in my time, so the Switch Pro is completely fine to me. I’d even argue I like it better than the base Xbox Series controller (I ABHORE that clicky dpad!), though I think the PS5 controller is better still.
Hey. Let’s talk about some games and a really good port for the old Switch, eh?
Digital Foundry did a big tech breakdown on the Switch port of Ace Combat 7. Like Alien Isolation or Grid Autosport, it’s an older title that has gotten ported a little later, but is a damn impressive showing on the platform. Biggest issue to my eye was the pop in on ground foliage And the lower resolution. Aside from those elements? Damn impressive, and targeting 30 FPS makes the game as smooth as the more uneven FPS seen on the last gen version (as seen in the video, AC7 was played on an Xbox Series S, which typically defaults to base performance for prior gen releases).
