      @@mikeuk666 Of course not. You don't seem to realize I'm obviously not talking about native hardware. It's the same with a phone, doesn't have anything to do with hardware; it works through streaming/cabled screen casting or whatever way allows you to have just the bottom screen shown on your phone. Or did you think I was talking about the phone/controller running an emulator and then sending off the top screen to the PC? 😐

    Honestly this is how they could actually revisit the wii u gamepad functionality. Have controller with its own small touchscreen but still be size and shape of regular controller isntead of a bulky tablet. The second screen on gamepad shouldnt be forced gimmick but rather for optional quality of life settings. For example in zelda wind waker for wii u you could instantly swap inventory items on the touch screen on wii u gamepad without having to go to pause menu. These type of quality of life settings becoming a norm would be nice.

  • @Skylancer727

    The clicky triggers are supposed to function like mouse clicks for faster input. Many shooters actually benefit from this with bumper controls because they have less delay from when you press to thr action occuring.
    Xbox has also used this style since the Xbox One came out and mosf third party controllers are heavily based Xbox controllers. Plus the Switch joycons themselves also has clicky bumpers but also has clicky triggers.

    I feel like it must be possible for the manufacturer to set this up so PCs can recognise the screen as a second display. I have no idea what anyone would want that for (aside from maybe emulators), however it would instantly increase its coolness by at least 100%

  • @njnjco
    @njnjco 3 дні тому

    A controller with little tiny screens on the face buttons would be cool. You could change the settings on the controller to Nintendo, Xbox, or Play Station mode and the glyphs would automatically change to match, so you could hand it to someone unfamiliar with that console and they could look at the controller and know what button to press. That and you could make custom glyphs for the buttons. Kinda like an Elgato Stream Deck (Not to be confused with the Valve Steam Deck). I hate that moment of hesitation when switching between Nintendo and Xbox style controllers where the buttons are inverted, especially when emulating Nintendo games using an xbox style controller. This would solve a bit of that confusion when your brain gets turned around.

    The 1.1.0 update of Super Mario 3D All-Stars supposedly added support for GameCube controllers in the Super Mario Sunshine port, including support for the analog triggers.

      Lol imagine a new Wii U controller for Switch. There are so many things that prevent it from happening including games have already been ported, Nintendo adds retro games at such a slow pace and the controller is too expensive to produce. Nintendo could’ve also made the old controller compatible with the Switch but probably didn’t to avoid confused customers.
