Wow, it wasn't even there yet? They're really spreading that content like a half-spoon of jam on the largest slice of bread ever.
Anyway, still not a one time purchase, still a pricy subscription, so fuck that.
They looooooove the drip feed. They do the same thing to their bare bones music service by releasing one game's worth of songs per month.
The music service needs to be on the god damn Switch itself. It would be great for kids who don't have phones to use as a music player when they're studying or whatever.
God, I forgot it wasn't even on Switch. What a waste.
Remember the 3DS? It came with a freaking media player. One you could load with whatever MP3 file you dropped on the SD card. And you could have it keep playing on the headphones while the console was closed.
Switch 1/2 's OS is so barebones.
The latest Rhythm Heaven/Paradise/whatever has a similar feature, but it's only for its own soundtrack of course. It has a soudtrack player mode that shuts off the switch's screen to save battery.
Didn't Smash Ultimate also have a "music mode"? I think that and Kirby Air Riders (both directed by Masahiro Samurai) had one.
Lol samurai. He may as well be one!
It was in the Mario 3D All Stars, but you needed one of those limited edition GameCube controllers if you want analog triggers for the water spray.
Prob the same here.
Also, emphasis on "was". Freaking FOMO-farming bastards.
There were no GC Switch controllers when 3D All Stars came out. Unless it was so limited I never even heard about it. They separated the controls into R for the soft pull and ZR for the full click. I can confirm it's the same here. I believe when I tried my Switch 2 GC controller on 3D All Stars it did not support the analog trigger. But this version actually does support it.
