And I thought my issues were because the dongle was bad. I mean, it’s still bad (lack of shielding) but I thought it was a range issue.

Nintendo has a bad track record on this though, the recent Donkey Kong release has this issue.

A JSAUX Dock, Vader 3 controller, and Phillips SHP9500 headphones.

MK8 is amazing. I was actually playing it again this weekend with my kid, the Wii U version. It’s fantastic.

On another note I’m also playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and I’m loving it. It feels weird to like something from Ubisoft these days given everything that happened, but that game scratches my itch in a very good way.

I think it was priced wrong. Also not released on Steam for whatever screwed up reason.

That’s what the hard shell case is for, just prop it on top of it

That’s a shame. I remember I was very impressed by this game when I played it back then! I didn’t finish it though.

Good to know it runs well! Games from that era sometimes are very picky with controllers. Try this:

Prince of Persia: the Lost Crown

Yeah, I love we can do that if we want, even though I don’t do it much myself

I used to be stricter with that. Now I consider retro any platform that are 2 generations behind (for the ones still active in the market). So PS3/360 and earlier.

I didn’t play the others to say it for myself. People have said exploration is more organic on the other games of the series.

I liked the gameplay but I disliked the mechanic of having to beat an arbitrary amount of bosses to unlock the next area.

Awesome! My first was Samus Returns on 3DS and I heard it isn’t the best to start with. I’ll try this one!

You can install another distribution on it and make the desktop the default boot option! It’s not how I would use it but it’s a major selling point for me. I’m not stuck with the walled garden, even in the default OS!

That’s the major factor in play here for me to get it

Hopefully it has better buttons! I have a R36S and it has a nice screen and performance for the price but I dislike the buttons.

RP5, but shipping is a pain. I can’t wait!

Looks great! I’m waiting for a Retroid to ship, meanwhile I have a R36S.

I would never do this but it is fucking amazing. Great job!

Mine is docked in a utility cart with a 27” monitor on top 70% of the time. I love these ideas 🤣

That’s how I’ve been treating any other dev that mistreats the Deck, Rockstar won’t be different. That’s how it should be.
