  • By popular demand, HORI sets out to provide us with a Joy-Con with a D-Pad! ...with several strings attached. Time to see how it stacks up against the regular Joy-Con!
    This video was previously released as a core video and has been retroactively included in the Things of Interest series as I feel it is better suited there!

    I definitely like the concept of a d pad on a joy con but that fact that you can’t use it wirelessly kills it for me. The us releases looks cool, but it’ll probably just be used for eye candy.

    • @AidGum
      @AidGum 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I also hate that its missing the HD rumble, meaning you'll only feel the game in your right hand.

    • @timg5318
      @timg5318 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think if this was wireless I’d be much more inclined to buy it, especially with my pro controller not having the greatest dpad

    • @chiefhydropolis

      @Praise the Sun If you think you can make a better Joy-Con D-Pad controller, go ahead. I doubt you can do it.

    • @chiefhydropolis
      @chiefhydropolis 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Praise the Sun And don't forget to sell millions of them on eBay. Will it work? No. Will you get money? Probably not. Will it be better than the HORI one? No.

    Sounds like it accomplishes what it's supposed to for a reasonable price when compared to the normal joycon price
    But they could make an enhanced version that fixes some of the problems you and others have mentioned, e.g. battery drainage, gyroscope, wireless, etc. for a slightly higher price, or phase out the first version over time
    Overall great review and nice presentation

    I actually own a Hori Wired Fight pad for my Wii U. It's basically a Classic Controller pro that's modeled after a Gamecube Controller. I bought it thinking it was one of the Gamecube Controllers for the adapter. To my surprise, it was actually meant to plug in to the Wiimote. It wass actually my favorite way to play most of my games on the Wii U.

    You, my good sir, have gained a subscriber.
    Your review is on point, my man. I like the third party controller here, but I mainly play my switch in TV mode so this thing wouldn't fit my needs. I'm much happier with the ones provided with my switch for this reason. Also I love how they MODELED the SL and SR buttons, but failed to add any functionality to them. Also, you have Star Allies AND Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! You are a great friend. :)
    Also, I know you live in Hong Kong, but you can read and understand the Japanese/Chinese on the box.

    If you have any interest in Taiko Drum Master, would you consider a full review on the drum peripheral? I'm probably going to get one regardless when the game releases in the west, but I've yet to see one "definitive" review on the drum thus far.

    • @Akfamilyhome
      @Akfamilyhome  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the game but do not have drum peripheral since it's too expensive for my liking. I do have the one for the Wii though, so I'd assume it's like that but slightly better, aka more suitable for casual play

    • @yomaru
      @yomaru 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the info! I never got to try any out before but I really like the drumming aspect, although I did try the demo with touch controls and that was pretty fun too. We'll see!

  • @moonmedic2862
    @moonmedic2862 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I don't see why there hasn't been an official dpad joycon and/or a 3rd party one that functions on the same level as a normal one.
    At least there's an option for it when it's connected...i guess?

    • @Jaztec35
      @Jaztec35 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Moon Medic I doubt we'll ever see third party sponsored joycons that have the same features just because it'd directly compete with the first party stuff. I feel like Nintendo wouldn't make an official dpad one just because they want to encourage people to use a joycon each or something

  • @csolisr
    @csolisr 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    So, when playing a game with rumble, does it only rumble on the right or is there a little rumble on the left?

    • @Akfamilyhome
      @Akfamilyhome  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Since it's attached to the Switch, the rumble is still spread throughout the system, but you can feel it's a bit stronger on the right side

    @Schwarzorn 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    That's not a D-Pad, that's a Control Pad. The D-Pad's Sega's copy of the Control Pad they made for the Dreamcast. And for the record, the one on the Mega Drive and Saturn was calld the "D-Button", with the controller itself being calld the "Control Pad" for some reason.

    @CaptainX2012 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why do people hate the directional buttons? I have coordination issues with my hand meaning I can't write and make frequent typos. I hate D-pads as sub controllers (They worked well on the NES,SNES DS-DSi) as I never know what direction will be pressed compared to my intended direction. This is basically the only reason I still use a Joycon Grip.
