Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
HORI just announced what is definitely one of the stranger accessories out there for the Switch: a noise-dampening cover for microphones that are compatible with the Switch. The idea is to use this cover when you want to play karaoke games like Let’s Sing 2018 or Karaoke JOYSOUND, but don’t want to disturb others in the house with your singing. This accessory will cost ¥1,280, in case you’re interested in it.

HORI releasing a left Joy-Con with a D-Pad; only works in handheld mode
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A common criticism fans have with the left Joy-Con is that it doesn’t feature a “proper” D-Pad, only four disconnected buttons since it also has to serve as its own full controller if used separately. Accessory manufacturer HORI is now attempting to fix that problem by releasing a left Joy-Con with an actual D-Pad.
However, there are some major caveats. Like the Pro Controller alternative that HORI released previously, this Joy-Con lacks most of the tech of the first-party Joy-Con, such as HD rumble, gyro sensors and an accelerometer. What will likely be a dealbreaker for many though is that it has no bluetooth functionality. This means that it can only be used when connected to the Switch in handheld mode, but not when used separately or in the Joy-Con Grip.
This special left Joy-Con will be released in Japan in July. It’ll cost 2,480 Yen.

HORI preparing a USB hub stand
Posted on 6 years ago by Joshua in Switch | 0 comments
Seen in the image above, HORI is releasing a cool-looking USB stand for portable mode.
It is meant to charge your Switch if it’s plugged in, as well as add four USB ports to the system. This will allow wired classic controllers to plug in on the go! And keyboards for whatever reason? But also GameCube controller adapters! Anything your imagination can conjure.
The USB hub is slated to hit the market in May. May-be you will get one.

When the Super Famicom Mini launches in Japan early next month, HORI will be putting out a special controller. The Fighting Commander controller was popular back in the day, and a new version is being created for the system.
The Fighting Commander for the Super Famicom Mini uses a 2.4GHz frequency automatic switch method so you can leisurely play without having to worry about the cord. It has two levels of Slow Motion Switch. If this Slow switch is set to 1 or 2, it will cause the game to be in a slow motion mode where it will continuously pause. There are also switches to activate Turbo or Hold mode for each of L, R, Y, X, B, and A buttons. It can launch a turbo of 24 presses per second.
The Fighting Commander controller for the Super Famicom Mini will be available on October 6. Pricing is set at 2,678 yen.
