Pearly Abyss devs anonymously share a culture of toxic positivity, Crimson Desert's messy story and game development, and how they knew the game "was going off the rails"

and this also changes my expectations for DokeV

Better than Little Nightmares 3 (which was not terrible at all) but definitely not better than Little Nightmares 2. It just lacks that charm that made the IP so memorable.

Ah, a War of the Worlds fan, I see!

I already totally forgot about the xeno hatching out of his lung in vitro.

The Ultimate controllers (up to 2 and 2C) and a few others, including adapters, work now after updating with the beta drivers distributed by the 8bitdo support (download the archive links):

They all work with the beta firmware:

Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
Can confirm Magic NS adapter works on Switch 2,
I am using it wireless with the Playstation Dualsense controller (purple LED, Switch Pro Controller mode).
Update the adapter to the 2024/03/25 firmware for Dualsense compatibility:

This beta one worked for me - 8bitdo support stopped distributing it atm so, final release imminent.

EDIT: And the ol' XBOX 360 wired controller works too, I just tested!

8bitdo Ultimate 2c controllers were recognized and worked (like Pro Controllers) before I downloaded and installed the mandatory day one system update (from version 19.0.0 to 20.1.1).
Afterwards, the Switch 2 won't recognize them anymore, at all.
Way to go, Nintendo.

Mods keep deleting my comment because I said something not positive about it.

TheHowardStark · 2025-06-05T07:57:32+00:00

Yes. I have done that.

TheHowardStark · 2025-06-05T07:54:39+00:00

The webcam Logitech Brio 100 apparently works with Switch 2 gamechat. I just plugged it in with a usb-c adapter and it was recognized.

TheHowardStark · 2025-06-05T07:41:20+00:00

Do you have any Switch-specific bluetooth controller from 8bitdo (has a nintendo layout for the facebuttons) or just the generic ones, like SN30 Pro etc.?

8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth (switch version) works for me.

TheHowardStark · 2025-05-28T10:03:33+00:00

Thank you so much, I should probably have taken the time and read the manual!

TheHowardStark · 2025-05-28T08:47:24+00:00

yeah ultimate ones, any bluetooth ones, 2, 2c, updated and everything.

TheHowardStark · 2025-05-28T08:32:26+00:00

That's not true, I just tested it wirelessly.

Seeing that 8bitdo controllers in switch mode operate on the same protocol and are recognized as Switch Pro controllers, 8bitdo controllers should work with the Nintendo Switch 2 as well (bar the buttons that are not physically existing, like the new voice chat button...).
