    Nyxi just needs to make their joy cons come in gamecube colours. I'd happily swap the LED strips for better colour options.

    • @SpiritedVT
      @SpiritedVT ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They have the Wizards, which is completely based around the gamecube controller. But I agree, having their Hyperion in those colours would be pretty

    Appreciate the honest review of the RetroFlag controller for the Nintendo Switch.
    Found an online store here in Manila and they’re selling it for around $42-45.
    Thinking of getting one soon coz my left joycon is kinda acting up.

    I was hoping you talked about the motion control. Some people say it is weird on the Retroflag and some others say it is amazing and flawless.

    • @WodverWizard
      @WodverWizard ปีที่แล้ว +4

      It's definitely weird since the switch thinks you've connected a pro controller, so it responds to motion control inputs as if you're holding the controller horizontally. For instance, to aim to the right, you'd have to lift the left half of your Switch, since you'll probably be holding it upright with the screen towards you.

    NYXI is amazing. Just be careful if you use a switch a lot and use their provided case. I have a flex problem with my OLED and it doesnt fit in the dock anymore.

    Hi there, saw your video and it actually was informative but had just one question about the product. The right side rail joycon of my switch got messed up and will hardly will read unless separated from the switch or if I use a wireless gamepad controller. Would this work on it as an alternative? Like does it read it via the usb or the rails on the switch itself? Don't mind using my system as a Switch lite if that's the case. Hopefully it connects via the usb instead of the rail connector.

    • @CarrotsNotCake
      @CarrotsNotCake 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      via USB, but I recommend the Dobe TNS-19252, or NexiGo GripCon. Same product, different branding. Way better than Nitro Deck or Retroflag.

    The Retroflag is more durable. My kids snapped the rails on the Nyxi's since they are brittle plastic. Not the Retroflag, That is a tank since it is one piece. I guess we all have different reason for buying grips and controllers. I like the Retroflag because it protects the charge port and it is durable. My kids are monsters. The Retroflag should have a kickstand and 2 black buttons. What a let down in that area.
    Anything that uses the rails I avoid. It is the weakest point of the Switch.

    retroflag all the way. feels more solid and ergonomic . no split function for multiplayer? nah, i got my ori joycon and cheap dope single joycon adapter for that. retroflag is mean to use in handheld mode anyway. docking? well still can connect retroflag with usb-c female to usb-a male connected to dock for that. the only cons is wired connection for docked mode

    8:05 my Retroflag controller actually can’t wake the Switch using the Home button UNLESS I had just put it to sleep a few seconds prior and am turning it back on again. It’s gotta be something to do the the fact that controller doesn’t have a battery and is powered by the Switch itself. Would love to have you confirm this! Or if this a newer firmware or something that can wake the Switch at all times
