    Gamecube was the better choice

    Yeah everyone knows it failed because it had the least comfortable controller ever designed.

    I mean, who was that even for? A Predator?

    I like the dreamcast controller and the duke.

    Wish the dreamcast had had another analog stick though.

    The Duke I will give a pass to because I know people with big hands liked it, even if my hands needed a passport to reach the black and white buttons.

    I have huge hands and the Dreamcast controller felt like it was designed for someone with bigger hands than me. That Duke controller looks like, identically bad to the Dreamcast controller, but without seeing the shoulder buttons I can't be sure.

    This was intentional, they weren't supposed to be used regularly.

    But having 6 face buttons opens up... Options.

    Honestly, I really liked the asymmetric analog sticks.

    Per Wha Happen, apparently there is a small Clay Fighting scene, but it's based on a modified version on emulators, not a Switch version.

    The Nitendo64 controller is among the most ill-conceived of our lifetime and it was still a successful console.

    Dreamcast failed for a lot of reasons but for my money the biggest was their format. GD-rom was bad idea with DVD on the horizon.

    It wasn't uncomfortable it just made no sense to have a d-pad and a joystick on a separate handle. It made it nearly impossible for a developer to meaningfully incorporate both functions and the center handle being off center made for an awkward grip when using the stick.

    Our Switch appears to be dead. Won't charge and won't turn on. We've tried charging it with the adapter my son usually uses and with the dock. My son was using it for a while yesterday and had it laying on a blanket while doing so. He noticed at some point that it was extremely hot so he turned it off and put it on a cool surface for an hour or so. It was working when he turned it back on after that and he used it until the battery was down to 4% and then turned it off and plugged it into charge, and it's been a paperweight since then.

    Any suggestions before I see if I try calling the Nintendo 800 number? It's almost exactly 3 years old, so outside of warranty.

  • turtleantturtleant Gunpla Dad is the best.Registered User regular
    The thing is the Dreamcast didn't really have a chance NOT to fail. It would have had to have been insanely successful to pull Sega out of the hole the Saturn got them into.

    May just be crashed, hold the power button down for 12 seconds to force it to fully power off and see if it starts up normally if you press the power button after that.
    When it crashes in sleep mode it looks bricked, this happens pretty commonly.

    That did the trick, thank you! I'd tried holding the power button down for maybe 5 seconds or so, but wouldn't have guessed to hold it down that long.

    Yeah I don’t know why we are talking about shit controllers when Sony has been shovelling the same shit for over twenty years and for some reason people think it’s a functional controller.

    The sony controllers are perfect if you've grown up with them and had your hands moulded by them.

    As someone who was a PC player since like 1996, the xbox controller felt easily the most comfortable to hold when I had to choose one

    not talking stuff like dpad accuracy and such though
