NYXI Wizard

A number of third-parties have created their own controllers for Switch over the years, and NYXI has now come out with its own product: the NYXI Wizard.

Other than the GameCube-style design, the NYXI Wizard is unique in that it aims to eliminate drift that has become prominent with Joy-Con in particular. This is done with the Hall Effect joystick. Since it never physically touches, “the sensors do not wear out like they do on analog joysticks”, preventing drift in the process.


Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for December 2022.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were both part of the top ten. Had their sales been combined, they would have placed at #3.

Other than that, there’s not much that’s overly exciting. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion saw its debut at #3. Mario Kart 8 and Nintendo Switch Sports had a strong month, coming in at #7 and #8 respectively.
