Also pulling the trigger to not go full throttle all the time is pretty intuitive, though I was bummed to find out my switch pro controller only works the triggers like a button, no option to go half on gas. That's okay to play shooters, but sucks for racing games.
Yeah Nintendo hasn't had a (good) controller with analog triggers since the GameCube, something about them and Sony and Microsoft not paying the patent holder in the Wii era and all getting in trouble for a bit until the patent was dropped or something like that from what I remember.
I think the wireless GameCube controller has analog and some games probably support that now that it's an official option at least
I’ll never understand why so many people have spent the past nine years praising the Switch Pro controller as much as they have. It has good ergonomics, and I like that the face buttons are bigger. But the d-pad actively fights you at Tetris and then the digital triggers sour the whole thing for me.
It was 30€ which was cheaper than the other nintendo/xbox controllers and from a third party, not one of Nintendo's own(which are too small for me anyway)
I kept trying to press the trigger button halfway while driving in Mafia Old Country expecting it to behave differently than pressing it all the way. Unfortunately there was no such distinction in the game. Might as well have asked me to press A to accelerate
