I'm still on quest 5. I've got a couple ghosts left to get since my at-night playing has dropped lately. Once I finish that it's just... 200 karp candy left, since of course karp spawns here aren't common. I think for most people, the Mew quests will be difficult since a lot of people I've...

So quests came out... I kinda dig it. Some of them are going to be time consuming (of course, I have less than 200 Magikarp candy and one of the challenges for Mew is to evolve a Magikarp into Gyarados). But I think a lot of them are really not that bad.  I also got 2 shiny Lugia this weekend...

A Pro controller it is not, but for $20ish it's a good wired controller IMO. If you need a spare controller for parties or whatnot, I would get one over spending $70 for a pro any day. I probably use mine more than I use my pro, actually.

Realistically, no one really seems to know why or how the Nyko dock was killing systems. People have speculated that it's the AC adapter not being the correct specs, but I highly doubt Nyko will ever publicly admit what was causing the issue, especially if it was something as dumb as that. If...

There's a little discussion on secondary docks in the Switch forum, mainly in this thread: https://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/363701-cheap-ass-substitute-for-second-dock/ From what I've seen, the Insignia looks to be the "best" substitute (from the major players at least) for a second dock if...

I know this is an old topic, but Best Buy has the Insignia-branded Switch dock if you're looking for a cheaper option for a second dock. It's $40 but has been on sale for $35 in the last couple...

It plugs into a USB port, so while you *might* be able to get USB-C to USB converter to work, it would require plugging into the dock. I haven't tried any USB-C to USB adapters to see if I can get it running directly on the console. I would guess that if it was possible it would be on YouTube...

I wanted to follow-up. Thanks to one of those eBay giveaway things I got $10 in gift cards, so I picked up one of these wired controllers for like $17. I have to say I'm impressed. Definitely kind of clunky and would defeat the purpose of a portable console, but if you need a spare and play...

Has anyone bought the Hori wired controller? Saw it today and it looks decent, and for $30 it wouldn't be nearly as painful as the $70 Pro or $80 Joycons, but I haven't heard anything about it before I saw it. 

You mean new features like 200cc mode, or the two DLC packs that they had for Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U? I can understand not re-releasing this on the Wii U, especially since that's a dead console. I've been playing and I've noticed that on the pro controller at least, turning on the autosteer...

Update: Got my copy today, somehow. I've only booted it up and done one Grand Prix but it's Mario Kart 8, on a handheld. It's the good parts of playing the Wii U version on the Gamepad, without the awkward thickness of the Gamepad. I'll be spending many hours in battle mode over the coming...

Looks like Amazon has owned up to the issue. Mine was shipped USPS (meh) from California (yuck), so it's going across the US, so I doubt I'll be getting it on Monday like they claim. But they did send out an email saying they were giving anyone impacted a $10 promotional credit. Since I only...

I'm looking forward to it. My biggest complaint about Mario Kart 8 was that the lack of a battle mode really made the replayability drop. I used to spend hours in Mario Kart Wii's battle mode.  People can complain about Nintendo re-releasing the same game for $60 all they want, but I'm looking...

I've run into an interesting bug. Apparently the latest update has decided to not work on my phone- at first it gave the no GPS signal error and then it just stopped loading completely. Now, if you go to the login screen and click on the Google login it just spins and then throws up an Unable to...

Same experience here: preorder line was the one that was having trouble. If you didn't preorder, they had 2 bins, one for each color, behind the counter and you picked up your games and accessories from one storage rack before you got to the register. If you DID pre-order they had to find your...
