Problem is you then said they needed a console+pro controller bundle. They don't, the grip has the EXACT same number of inputs. Cliffy just needs to get informed.

I don't see any problem in making a bundle that includes a pro controller..

There's no problem with that but it won't solve anything and it would make the bundle significantly more expensive.

And the third parties who spent long enough to look at it that they were able to count the buttons on the thing.

It says a lot though if the Switch is so unappealing to some devs that they cannot even stand to look at it long enough.

For some devs it might even be enough to read the data sheet that says "digital triggers" to be immediately turned off without even looking at it.

I guess it doesn't take a lot to Trigger some people :D

no Square, Triangle or Circle button! The lack of a Playstation button too will make it impossible for the switch to return to the main menu from their game... it just wont work!

But... the home button can do that just fine..

Look mate... I've pressed it a few times, it still doesn't bring be back to the ps4 menu, just this weird white screen with Zelda and Mario Kart on it... I'm just not buying that button is working right on my Switch!

I am thinking he is looking at a individual joycon and thinking he has to build multi-player around that.

Obviously he is grossly mistaken but I don't think he means real harm.

At least some devs have started to put in some work towards trying to get their games running on switch now, if you didn't see the leak from Rockstar trying to get GTA5 onto the system, I mean... they're trying their best!

It seems like big 3rd parties are really getting the grasp of the system, much like Lawbreakers did
