The controller itself looks nice. The controller came fully charged and ready to go. 3 stars because the box is in awful shape. Anyone spending 100ish on a controller is a collector and wants to keep the box. Mine came with what looked like water damage. See the photo. I didn’t expect perfect but water damage?
Doesn’t come with a battery. Like really?
Arrived earlier then expected and is in top condition with no dents or bends on the package. So glad I ordered this, I thought it was to good to be true for such a low price on this as well.
akiya-switch.com bungled the shipping, hard. took forever to get here, the box is all dented up, and also they broke the keychain. but the game is amazing and I love team reptile. megabyte punch 2 pls!
I gave it a chance.. but was completely disappointed. The whole day is complete in 23 minutes.. Noby gets tired after minimal work and requires naps to regain energy.. The cut scenes took up most of the time. This game is only good for the nostalgia.. The art is decent but over all.. I would have a hard time rating this game more than 1 star.
Really fun game. Super thoughtful how comes with a cute little guidebook and minimap (haven't figured out the usefulness of it just yet but I'll figure that out sooner or later) Totally recommend it.
Over the years I have reviewed numerous games in the Taiko No Tatsujin franchise, which started back in 2001 in Arcades and saw its first home release in the West on PlayStation 2 in 2004's Taiko Drum Master. And while they're excellent Music-Rhythm games, their gameplay is also somewhat reliant on a fairly unique drum controller that's not really the sort of thing you would use for any other game. This makes it harder to invest in one of these controllers, because you're spending a decent amount of money on something you will be using for at most only a small handful of games - on Nintendo Switch, as of this writing, there are a grand total of four Taiko No Tatsujin games - Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum ‘N’ Fun!, Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival, Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure 1, and Taiko No Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure 2. I suppose you could argue that a drum controller like this could potentially work with other games, (Patapon 1 + 2 Replay, recently announced for Nintendo Switch, comes to mind), but the Taiko No Tatsujin games are really the only ones where such a controller feels essential to the core experience. The Taiko No Tatsujin series has tried to adapt to this reality, adding in controller support, motion-sensing support, and touchscreen support into its games on platforms that include those features, but there's just nothing like banging on an actual drum. As it happens, I've found myself with the interesting opportunity to test out taiko drum controllers for the Nintendo Switch, both at the very low end of the pricing spectrum, and at the absolute high end. Let's see how they compare! At the low end, we have the Armor3 Taiko Drum Controller with Stick, with a price roughly on par with a mid-range Nintendo Switch controller. In addition to the drum itself, this set comes with two thick hollow plastic taiko drum sticks, as well as a fairly easy-to-assemble plastic stand that attaches to the backside of the drum and includes storage compartments for the drumsticks and for the controller and cable attached to the drum. The drum itself is a circle that's about 9" wide, and it is constructed of plastic with a flexible plastic membrane at the front to give it a more rubbery feel. For those unfamiliar with the Taiko No Tatsujin games, depending on the song and difficulty level, the drum has four inputs - left and right on the inside of the drum ("don"), and left and right on the rim ("ka"). And using this drum, these notes are mostly pretty accurately detected by the drum, though I did occasionally have notes that didn't seem to detect properly. I'm not sure if this is due to me improperly hitting the note or the controller improperly detecting it, though. As I mentioned before, connected to the drum is a cord with an attached controller, which includes many of the functions of a standard Nintendo Switch controller but lacks analog sticks or ZL and ZR buttons. This controller is mainly intended for navigating menus, and works well enough for that, though the short length between the controller and drum feels a bit limiting, and the controller's shape can make it take a moment to determine which way of holding it is right side-up. Continuing past the controller, the rest of the 10' cord leads directly to a USB plug to attach the controller to a Nintendo Switch dock. While some may find this cumbersome and disappointing, that the controller is wired and not wireless, I do feel like this is a sensible choice, as having a wired controller will reduce input delay, which is absolutely vital in a Music-Rhythm game. Finally, I'll get to my main annoyance with this controller, though I feel like this may be a personal issue - it is far, far too easy to move this thing around by pounding on it, requiring you to either find a way to secure it in place, or adjust it every half a minute or so as it gets drummed away from you. This drum does have little rubber foot pads, but these didn't seem nearly enough to keep the drum from being pushed around. This may be due to me hammering away at it far too hard, but... well, it is a drum, and that is what people do with drums. Plus, hammering on it hard seemed to be the best way to ensure that my notes were properly detected. Overall, I think the Armor3 Taiko Drum Controller with Sticks is a decent way to control Taiko no Tatsujin games, and while this is better than using a standard gamepad (or the horribly inaccurate gyroscopic motion controls), it's still not quite ideal. However, if you're a fan of this series and want to play it in the way it's intended, this is a good way to go that shouldn't break the bank.
The dock itself is fine, the dock box got damaged upon arrival. They should have used a box and not a bubbled envelope.
Already spent 12 hours on it in the first two days, this game is amazing! The single player mode is a nice introduction but the real fun is the multiplayer and once you find the weapon set or two that click with you and get the basic mechanics down you'll be having a blast! The strategy guide and box that comes with the Starter Edition are pretty cool and look nice on a shelf or bookcase if you like to display some of your gaming stuff. The stickers are a little bit darker than I expected which is slightly disappointing but they still look really cool and seem to be high quality!
Absolutely amazing quality, came in good condition an absolutely fun to play
Wanted a portable Switch dock and this looked cool (nice colors!). Wasn’t sure how well it would work but it was actually seamless. Tested it with an OLED Switch and a projector for some huge Warioware fun. Very easy to set up. Dock plugs into wall outlet / power strip. Supplied USB-C cable plugs from dock to the Switch. It’s not a long cable (1m?) but worked fine for this setup. HDMI cable (not provided) plugs from dock to the projector (or TV). Almost immediately, the Switch output video through the dock to the projector. Looked crisp and colors were pretty vibrant. It’s a cheap projector but certainly good enough for party games. Switch remained fully charged throughout gameplay. Got no complaints. Would have been nice to include an HDMI cable too but most people (well.. old gamers and tech nerds like me at least) usually have a spare HDMI cable lying around. For the asking price and considering it worked flawlessly, happy to give 5 stars.
It’s much better then I ever expected! It’s a great size and everything inside is removable via Velcro! So if needed you could make it a regular bag too! The switch case is a bit tight but it makes sure everything is Secure and won’t rattle or get bumped around! Overall it’s a great case and the first case I’ve seen that can hold a dock and Isn’t a big bulky suitcase looking thing, I definitely recommend!
Love this rug! It is very thick and plush. It’s cushy when you walk on it. The colors are cream and beige. I would say the beige looks more light grey. The rug is very high quality. It comes rolled up and can lay a little wonky at first. I vacuum it a bunch before putting furniture on it and it flattened out with no problems. It is thick, but I still put a rug pad under it. I like having that extra cushion. I think you might feel a hard floor under it without a pad. I don’t find it hard to vacuum. The size was perfect under my queen size bed in the guest room. I think it will hold up for a long time. Highly recommend Safavieh rugs.
Looks exactly like the picture and works perfectly. It was extremely easy to set up without any problems. No complaints here.
I didn't like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe ... but I think this game is the best
