    Switch represented Nintendo returning to its heyday of the SNES->Gamecube goodness.

    Man, I feel like I dodged a bullet with that one. My SNES and GameCube controllers still work. So do my Wiimotes. (Okay, my N64 joystick is slack as my deadbeat cousin’s work ethic but otherwise…!) Heck even my Wii U slate seems fine (although the battery worries me.)

    Switchcons have been a bit of a QA nightmare for a majority of people I’ve heard from though. Cheap and creaky, the sticks getting all drifty. Blegh!
