Unfortunately it’s for a friend so I cannot open it. Switzerland by the way.

It has been up and down for weeks, but it's been up long enough I was easily able to get one. The app notified me and the checkout process was smooth.

In case any of you are still on the fence about this version. It's really solid and perfect for handheld play.

Thanks everyone for your questions, we're going to head to lunch now.

See you in the arena.

Hi r/NintendoSwitch

We’re Featherweight Games, we’re a indie game studio from Sydney, Australia and we released our game Chained Beasts on Nintendo Switch last week.

In it you play gladiators chained together and you have to fight to survive through 3 brutal acts while suffering debilitating afflictions. It’s designed to be simultaneously kind of hardcore and hilarious.

We'll be here to answer questions for next 2 hours.

There are a few littered threads over the years asking for Zenonia or a game like it, surprised to see it's being revived & no one's mentioned it on here!

I picked up the Nintendo Switch Online Mega Drive controller at the Shibuya Nintendo Store on a whim yesterday. Here's my quick review of it.

The good:

• It’s a solid controller, as expected from a Nintendo-made device.
• It has a home button and a capture button, something that’s severely lacking from the SNES and Super Famicom controllers.
• It’s a 6 button controller, unlike the US and European version of the controller which is just a 3 button. The 6 buttons are usable on the EU/NA version of the NSO app just fine without issue.

The bad:

• The Genesis/Mega Drive app on NSO hasn’t been updated since April 2025 with no indication on when/if it will actually get an update.
• The real thing suffers from this too, but it’s really lightweight.
• The buttons cannot be remapped. This makes it basically impossible to play the (now delisted) Sega Genesis Classics collection with it, because it has no in-game remapping.
• The button mapping is a little weird. The buttons are mapped as follows:

A = A

B = B

C = R

X = X

Y = Y

Z = L

Start = +

Mode = ZR

There’s no way to press the minus/select button with this controller at all, which can limit its use in some games as well, even if you can remap the controls.

I'd recommend this controller if

• You like fighting games and want to play them with a 6 button layout.
• You are visiting Japan, have an NSO subscription and go to a Nintendo Store and want something unique.
• You're a big fan of Sega and Genesis/Mega Drive games.

I've missed having motion controls for so long. It's been 13 years since Ghosts. I was never a console FPS person outside of exclusives like Metroid Prime. On PC I only really play Tarkov as far as FPS games go. Aside from that, I played a few CoDs with friends, but that was 3 years ago and even then it really was not much.

MW4 is the first CoD I'm actually really enjoying in a long while, mostly due to the controls. It's amazing how much the muscle memory has remained even though I haven't really played Wii or Wii U CoDs in over a decade.

It's not quite as a solid as Wii controls, but it's pretty damn close. It's such a fun experience and feels quite good, I just had to share it. I'd recommend it just for that alone, but if you have it and haven't tried the motion controls, I think it's worth giving it a go, especially if you played previous CoDs with a wiimote before.

I really love games similar to My Perfect Hotel and the mini games on ads for Gardenscape and Township. Those aren’t actual games though. I like the faster paced, collection, constant expansion type feel. My Perfect Hotel would be good if it wasn’t for the constant ads and trying to get you to watch videos for perks. I don’t want to necessarily decorate rooms or cook recipes. Collecting isn’t bad. What are some switch suggestions?

Bought mine for playing in bed, on flights and while travelling. I also bought COD again despite already having it on PS5, but the sticks, button placement and overall feel are taking some serious getting used to lol.

I only want to play handheld with the controllers attached. Did it eventually feel natural for you, or did a grip, stick caps or changing settings help? Trying to figure out whether I need to change something or just give it more time.
