Legendary game designer Hideki Kamiya shared how while he was lucky enough to snag a Nintendo Switch 2 at launch — albeit, it was commandeered by his niece — he was disappointed that the console lacks a D-Pad.
Speaking with 4Gamer (via Stealth), the Okami director expressed how he actually went back to the original Switch until he figured out how to make his Cyber ​​Gadget “mini grip with D-Pad” make on his Switch 2, meaning he could actually use the console the way he prefers.
“Somehow I was able to get by. I was able to continue my daily routine of “one Tetris 99 a day,” but even so, as someone who continues to post shady things on social media every day in the shadows at the very edge of the games industry, I decided that I should gradually make the Switch 2 my regular hardware, and as I was writing this, I purchased a new Cyber ​​Gadget “mini grip with D-pad,” which I use with the Switch 1, and after some sanding and modifying it so that it could be attached to the Switch 2, where the button layout is slightly different, I was able to make my own “D-pad Joy-Con 2,” which finally allowed me to play titles from “Arcade Archives 2.”
