Steam Controller Like most people it seems, I think that theSteam Controllerhas potential, but it just hasn’t been realized yet. It’s a great time to test it out though, as one individual just tried it out onStreet Fighter IV, including the motion control capabilities. ConstableBento ended up giving it a go with his expertise in tow, and was able to pull off both hadouken and shoryuken motions with it. It’s a very short little clip but it gets the job done, and shows off the controller’s potential to encroach and improve upon on just about every genre there is....

We’ve heard of recent ports getting a sort of renewed vigor when they launch on Switch, but this is something else entirely. MuHa Games is reporting that their strategy titleThea: The Awakening, a rather obscure game that got buried in a slew of recent eShop releases that originally came out in 2015 on PC and 2017 on PS4/Xbox One, did better on Switch at launch. Speaking to Ninty Gamer, a rep noted that after an “opportunity for [a] Switch port arose in late 2018,” they partnered with Monster Couch, who would help them port to the system....
So you’re basically saying ‘the Wii U was never good’ If you opened up your copy ofZelda: Breath of the WildWii U and were all excited to test out the touchscreen features on the GamePad — you were probably disappointing to find out that the only “Wii U” thing about the port was off-TV play, which the Switch can now do by default. Yes, there was a chance that the Wii U version would have actually been superior from a gameplay standpoint if you could manage your inventory on the fly on the second screen, but according to the game’s director, Hidemaro Fujibayashi, it wasn’t in the cards....
