An aside: are you using an arcade stick? I’ve been thinking of getting back into STGs after a 10ish year break and can’t figure out which of the (pricy!) Switch sticks are any good.
No but I'm just about to order the HORI mini-stick. I have the Pro controller and it's definitely an improvement over the joycons but the arcade stick is something else entirely when playing games that don't require the right mini-stick on the controller.
Yeah, I have a Pro controller for Monster Hunters, but DoDonPachi was hard enough when I was ten years younger and owned a decent (Xbox 360) stick. I don't think I stand a chance today on anything you have to hold while you play.
Hah, I just added DoDonPachi to my wishlist yesterday. :D
And yep, exactly. I don't want to play everything with keyboard and a mouse but controllers are also pretty meh for many games. I just can't get comfortable using them. I mean I do but it always feels like... something important is missing.
Hence, I am getting the HORI mini arcade stick and will play my bullet hells and beat-em-ups with it. A few 2.5-dimensional RPGs, too.
