I've gotta say, the lack of a real d-pad in the joycon is bumming me out. This device would be the ultimate portable indie machine with a real d-pad. The Pro controller is great, but doesn't help when I'm playing in bed.
I just had a real bad time in some Shovel Knight levels. 😔
I've actually just beaten both the main Shovel Knight campaign and Plague of Shadows with the regular joycons (handheld mode). By the time I was done Shovel Knight I had become used to it.
I still want a regular ass d-pad tho
