As if anyone cares, but World Heroes Perfect is a terrible choice for the Switch controller. World Heroes 2 or World Heroes 2 Jet would have been better suited for tiny buttons in a diamond layout because they only use 3 buttons. Perfect uses 4 buttons and requires button combinations for a lot of moves.

Not sure how reasonable (in a business sense) it would have been, but I think a small free welcome package of emulated titles for new users would make a difference. One first party Famicom title, one 16bit title (MD/PCE/SNES) and one Neo Geo or N64 title. All carefully picked to match the restrictions of the controller. Switch it around every 3-4 months and include some games mag style guides and tips & tricks stuff with them. If there is no proper curation and support why pay for emulation?

No details whatsoever. The NeoGeo titles aren't listed as Virtual Console ones.

Taste the cart.

Yes... I may as well seeing as the Switch doesn't arrive until tomorrow...

Tasted. I feel like one of those kids from those 80s school adverts, the ones about glue sniffing.

I'll wait

[pubjoe]

Really Polygon? Last I read the left pad's obstructed range was shorter than the right's. That looks like a bigger non-story than an iPhone ermsomethinggate farticle.

I'll bate

[Rossyra]

Oh you mean like Freddo price increase to 30p...?

Yeahhh outrageous

[pubjoe]

Now that was a story.

[crunchywasp]

Bate and Switch.

[Rossyra]

At least 5p worth of a story.

Amazon shipping confirmation! The race is on.

Nintendo won the race.

Really nice bit of hardware. Particularly like the screen, it's behind a substantial pane of glass and has a matte texture to it, entirely different appearance to a phone screen where they're trying to get the display to leap out.

Also, the game boxes are tiny!
