This Switch Controller Has a Screen for Some Reason

The children yearn for the Dreamcast

The logo when it powers on looks like knockoff Wulff Den

let me know when someone gets this working with Dreamcast emulators with full VMU support

Can it play doom?

Don't show that thing to Rerez. He was making a controller with a screen in it and then all of a sudden he just stop talking about it and I'm like thank God I didn't back it on Kickstarter. I was into it at the time. It was called the "all controller".

Dreamcast was 25 years ahead

2:18 - "So it's very sort of like button-y and press-y and stuff like that"

For a moment I thought the controller's screen could be used as a second screen for 3DS and Wii U emulation.

Am I only one who thinks it SHOULD be a VMU? Imagine if thing supported video streams so that you could use for dreamcast, DS, GC/GBA, etc. There's a market there, and this is so close to filling that niche.

The Wii U GamePad: Am I a joke to you?

RIP Nintendo Wii U and 3DS, but love that Wii U HE'S BACK picture on that TV. It's like HE'S BACK from Stone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 movie. That controller have a screen, well that's like a small version of Wii U wow! 😊😮

Love Alex. He always has the energy of I just had ten cups of coffee in 5 minutes at the start of a video and it's amazing.

Had a 3rd party controller for the PS2 that had a screen. Loved it cuz I could watch movies on it without a tv.

Given the pre-production status and the number of things that could be fixed with firmware alone, i would be quite interested in you revesiting it a couple months down to check if anything has evolved

The clicky triggers are supposed to function like mouse clicks for faster input. Many shooters actually benefit from this with bumper controls because they have less delay from when you press to thr action occuring. Xbox has also used this style since the Xbox One came out and mosf third party controllers are heavily based Xbox controllers. Plus the Switch joycons themselves also has clicky bumpers but also has clicky triggers.

That's actually a really cool concept imo. So much easier to not have to deal with some external app. That's why I usually just use the default first party controller and don't fool with all that stuff.

I'll buy any controller if it lets me put Alex's lovely face on it. I need him to approve of my gaming decisions

Honestly this is how they could actually revisit the wii u gamepad functionality. Have controller with its own small touchscreen but still be size and shape of regular controller isntead of a bulky tablet. The second screen on gamepad shouldnt be forced gimmick but rather for optional quality of life settings. For example in zelda wind waker for wii u you could instantly swap inventory items on the touch screen on wii u gamepad without having to go to pause menu. These type of quality of life settings becoming a norm would be nice.

This is literally the Wii U controller leaks and concepts people were thinking the console would’ve been. I wish the Wii U could’ve had a controller like this alongside with the game pad.

Would be cool if we could get some kind of new form of the Dreamcast VMU for a new Nintendo console, since i never got to try it back in the day and i think it looks really neat😄. Something that can easily fit in your pocket.
