“IN 16 CARTS”

Maybe the original controller’s case will work? But probably not that great. I hope they release a case for the new one.

    “We can’t name it Steam Controller 2. People would be confused”

    I really wish marketing departments would switch to better cocaine, sometimes

        I legitimately don’t know what the big deal is, Ive had a Steam Controller for years…

        But yeah, I thought dualsense/dualshock was bad, but steam controller/steam controller is goddamn ridiculous

          What will they do if there is a new Steam Controller in the future? Name it Steam Controller again? Or name it Steam Controller 2? Then every reference in the web to Steam Controller 2 would be hell confusing. I don’t hope this is the start of bad naming like Microsoft got themselves into with Xbox consoles.

          New Super Mario Bros made sense for a short while, but is destined to cause nerd-fights for decades to come.

            How will you refer to it if a followup gets released? Or you sell an old used one? Make sure to not cause potential confusion

            Ehhh it’s kinda bad. I love my N3DSXL but even the abbreviation is a bit of a pain to type on a mobile device.

            On eBay there is a

            Used Japanese New Nintendo 3DS XL LL Pokemon Solgaleo Lunala console

            which is pretty funny

              I have the Mojora’s Mask version, but I stored the power adapter in the same bag as the console and went on a road trip and the whole back of the shell got terribly scuffed. 😖 Like gouged, even. The little folding plug had opened up and sat there vibrating against the shell for hours.
