The Joy-Cons are fantastic controllers by Nintendo but a number of people have been miffed that the company didn’t use a standard D-Pad on them.
Well honestly that also includes yours truly, I love the Nintendo Switch bu mostly play with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for the lack of a proper D-Pad on the Joy-Con. And even the Pro Controller’s D-PAD is not Nintendo’s best. And I am even using the ‘better’ Xenoblade Chronciles Pro Controller edition.
Enter Hori
Thankfully, peripheral manufacturer Hori has solved this issue by producing a Joy-Con with a standard D-Pad. It’s a left Joy-Con and will be available July 2018 priced at ¥2,678.
However, there are tradeoffs as the Joy-Con only works in portable play and doesn’t feature standard gyro controls and HD Rumble, etc.
While we like the addition of a D-Pad giving op on functions is something we are not looking forward to at all. Maybe we can test it out later on and let you all know if it is worth it.
