Mayflash Universal Arcade Fightstick F500 Review

Monday, November 21st, 2016

fightstick-f500We’ve covered and used several Mayflash products over the years including the GC Controller Adapter for Wii/Wii U and always found them to be extremely functional and useful.  When Mayflash reached out to us to invite us to try out their new Universal Arcade Fightstick we jumped at the chance to put it through its paces.  We’ll add a full video review to the top of this article once it’s ready, but for now read on to see what we thought of our time with Mayflash’s new mid-range universal arcade controller.

Nintendo Switch Presentation on January 12th

Thursday, October 27th, 2016

Thankfully no longer leaving the droves of people looking forward to the Nintendo Switch hanging, Nintendo announced Thurs, Jan. 12 as the date of their live switch presentation in which they’ll reveal “launch date and pricing for Nintendo Switch, as well as a look at the lineup of games currently in development”.  We’ll likely live tweet the conference so we hope you’ll join us in the new year for more exciting Switch news!

Nintendo Switch Unveiled, Launching March 2017

Nintendo showed off the first teaser trailer and shared some details about their Nvidia-powered hybrid home console with us for the first time.  For most appearances it seems that the majority of rumours were true, it seems to act like a portable Wii U in a slim tablet design with removable side controllers called Joy-Con that can be used attached to the system, one in each hand, or attached to a middle base to act more as a classic controller.  There will also be a Switch Pro controller available that looks more or less like an Xbox 360 controller.  Some third parties you don’t normally see are involved already and Skyrim (Special Edition perhaps?) was shown running on the system.

Here are some high-res images of the system, logo, and a list of third parties already working on games.  We’ll let you know if any more substantial details arise about the exciting new platform still due out in March 2017 and launching with Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

No Man’s Sky Protip: Do the Atlas Path First!

As I’ve been finding my way through No Man’s Sky there are a great many things that are not well explained in the game — one of the biggest to me was the ultimate utility of following the Atlas Path in the game.  Now that I’ve completed it and am still 160000 or so light years from the centre of the galaxy, I have to say that the benefits it affords are well worth the lateral jaunts you have to make at the beginning of the game to follow Atlas’ guidance.

I won’t spoil the story of the path or anything, but I’ll just give you a quick outline of its mechanics and then the reason it’s highly suggested.

We’ve already sunk over 20 hours into our copy of No Man’s Sky that Sony was kind enough to send our way and we’ll be posting some tips today to help you on your journey through the stars.  One thing about the game that I’ve been enjoying a lot are the many randomly generated spaceships that come in and out of the space stations and trading posts in the game.
