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 Unveiled, Launching March 2017

Thursday, October 20th, 2016

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.
