I'm playing Cuphead, and I'm legit blown away by how good this game is!

The problem is the controller the Switch comes with is complete and total garbage. I'm typically averse to buying alternate controllers for Nintendo systems, but it seems warranted here.

Are you using the Joycons or an actual Switch Pro Controller?

And some games allow you to use the GCN controller.

Wired, but lets you plug headphones into the control if you want to hear the audio that way. Only way I think it's realistically possible to play a Switch docked, with headphones.

Turns out the GCN controller is usable for any games that isn't Joycon only, but it may not be fully functioning if the game requires more buttons.

Oh, and if you want the best possible joycons to play while undocked:

Joycons. I don't have a pro controller. And with a game like Cuphead (or Zelda 2, which I just got done suffering through), you can't have questionable directional inputs.

I will say that the option of using Mega Man X style of dashing with R is so clutch. I love this game so much.

I have Bose noise cancelers synced up with my TV if I want to play with headphones on.

Nicccccce.

Is there a first party version? I don't trust third party stuff since all the third party Gamecube stuff was all hot garbage.

i recommend going through spawnwave media's reviews of different switch controllers, i've bought 2 he's recommended and theyre both very good but there's a huge variety of different ones with different uses

I beat it with the joycons put into whatever the hell you call that controller slot thing it came with. It definitely helped to change the default controls and make firing a shoulder button

Pokken controller is the best for any games that don't use joysticks (don't know how Cuphead is set up but I need to throw my support for this controller whenever possible).

Get a dongle for a PS4/Xbone controller maybe. I just got a Hori left Joycon for handheld with a theoretically better d-pad after my left Joycon started drifting.

I'm fine with the Switch controller but I can understand why someone would have problems.

The pro controller for Switch is perhaps my favorite controller ever. It's very good.

Switch Pro Controller is a damn good controller overall but even its dpad is complete ass for 2d platformers IMO. You'll probably need to go third party and I have no clue what that scene looks like.

In the same boat myself. Joycon drift is making my Xenoblade run uneventful. Did the temporary fix with canned air for now
