-

Few video game characters are as iconic as Sonic the Hedgehog. The speedy little blue blur has been around for over three decades, touching every corner of pop culture along the way, from games, to comics, to TV, to blockbuster movies. But we’re here specifically to celebrate the mainline Sonic game series and pick the best of them. Before we start, let’s quickly touch upon our criteria. We tried to rank these games based on a combination of historical significance, innovation, and how well these games stand the test of time. Some games, like Sonic Adventure 1 and the original Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance, are obviously super important to the Sonic series and set the foundation for both 2D and 3D Sonic games to follow, but we felt like they both didn’t quite hold up as well as their sequels when judged by a modern standard, which was why they just missed this list. The 10 games on this list are the ones we feel are the best examples of both classic and modern Sonic style. So w...

Nintendo Works to Fix Game-Breaking Paper Mario Issue

-
Nintendo has promised to fix a game-breaking issue in Paper Mario: The Origami King that can keep players from progressing through the story. Light location spoilers for Paper Mario: The Origami King follow. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/14/paper-mario-the-origami-king-announcement-trailer"] On Mario and Olivia's journey to the last streamer in The Origami King, players have to collect four stamps for their Spring of Rainbows VIP card in the Shangri-Spa area. After you collect all four stamps from four different hot springs, you gain access to a secret fifth hot spring. However, once you enter the fifth hot spring, the Spring of Rainbows, you lose your VIP pass. And, the other four hot springs will not give Mario a second stamp, meaning it's impossible to regain the VIP pass after you've already used it. If you try to re-enter the Spring of Rainbows, Mario will once again be asked to show his VIP pass. So, if you leave the Spring of Rainbows b...

This Joystick Upgrade Kit Could Solve Your Joy-Con Drift Woes

-

If you are a Nintendo Switch owner, you have probably heard of the infamous Joy-Con Drift. An ongoing issue with the Joy-Con's signature controllers for Nintendo's hybrid console.

Thankfully, gaming peripheral maker GuliKit recently released a new joystick upgrade kit that not only allows you to replace the joysticks on your Joy-Cons, but it touts that you will never have to worry about Joy-Con drift ever again.

As spotted by Gizmodo, the GuliKit Hall Joystick features a pair of replacement joysticks for your Joy-Con controllers. The company notes the joysticks are Hall Effect, meaning that the joysticks use a magnetic system, so it does not physically touch other parts inside the controller, which would cause the pieces to get worn out over time after extended use.

GuliKit has previously tried to circumvent the issue, releasing its own third-party Pro controller, the King Kong Pro 2. Other companies, such as NYXI, recently announced a new controller that resembles the Nintendo Wavebird and promises its third-party Joy-Cons won't drift as it uses Hall Effect joysticks.

The GuliKit Hall Joystick kit is available for $30 on Amazon; or if you own multiple pairs of Joy-Cons, it might make more sense to nab two pairs of joysticks, which will set you back about $70 (although at the time of writing, it is on sale for about $53).

Of course, if you are planning to purchase this, keep in mind that you will have to replace these joysticks manually, but there are videos out there, such as one from iFixit, that show you how to replace the Joy-Con joystick.
