$10 clip + a used xbox controller + your phone and you have a gyro capable (your phone) mobile gaming system with probably the best gamepad ever.
I don’t think this takes the place of a gadget like the Brick Hammer but I do HEAVILY recommend going this route first as you likely already have an adequate phone and xbox controllers are cheap and plentiful on the used market (and their only real achilles heel is they don’t have gyro… which your phone solves).
notethis clip uses the model 1914 xbox controller to be precise, xbox controller names are so stupid… but also this clip is $10, who cares, fold some post-it notes/cardstock up a bunch and jam em in there and you can make a different controller work if it is a similar shape and size
Agreed but battery life is clutch with mobile devices. Dead phone batteries don’t facilitate travel. Or waiting for your car to get fixed and having this in the glove box … I mean your argument is basically against all retro handheld devices.
Is it going to be more of that freemium crap? Because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED the first game, can’t tell you how many times I happily bought across how many platforms. The second game though was a huge letdown. The switch to free-to-play with an emphasis on microtransactions was a huge mistake that ruined the integrity of the game.
I’m currently waiting for an Anbernic rg-35xx to arrive, but this was definitely on the shortlist during my research! In the end, availability and the joysticks were the deciding factors, but interested to hear how you think those two compare.
"UPDATE: Just saw new discussions on EA’s Answer HQ! 📢
Over 5k fans are asking for the ‘Choose Your Seeds’ feature to stay permanently (it’s confirmed now!)
They’re reworking the lives system to make it optional, so we can play without time limits
The open beta for Latin America (including Argentina) is coming this November — you can sign up on the official PvZ site soon! Also, no more pay-to-win stuff — only cosmetic skins and a small welcome pack. What do you think about these changes? 🤔"
Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the upvotes — really glad to see other PvZ fans here! 😄 Just wanted to share some new updates I found:
The plant fusion system is even bigger than we thought! You can make combinations like Snow Bell (Cold Slaw + Jumbrella Leaf) and Sun Tower (Twin Sunflowers), plus classic favorites like Gatling Pea are coming back as fusions of Repeaters.
EA just announced more limited tests focusing on the story and early-game progression — the plot centers around a meteor crashing into Neighborville, giving plants their new powers!
While the full 2026 release is still on track for Android and iOS, there’s talk of Latin America getting early access to the closed beta later this year — fingers crossed Argentina is included! Also, they’ve brought back the “Choose Your Seeds” feature that fans missed so much, so we’ll get to pick our favorite plants before each level again. If you’re excited too, drop a comment below and tell me which plant fusion you want to try first! 🌱🧟"^___^
if skyrim is the best they can muster, by all means.
it’s more honest than ubisoft rereleasing the same garbage with a different name over and over again, but trying to pretend it’s something new every time.
The least they could do is turn it into an evergreen game like Minecraft or valheim. Instead of just printing another copy, go back and add 5 quests and 30ft² of area. Go to nexus, find the top 100 mods, pay their makers $5 and put them in the credit roll to integrate them permanently into the game. I haven’t paid for skyrim since I bought it for the 360 and I would gladly buy a copy for every person I know if they did something like that.
They do something like this with Creation Club in Fallout 4. The last thing people still playing want is more updates that break all of our mods every few months to add crap we didn’t ask for. Check out the Steam updates, every one of them has countless comments begging them to stop. I gave up a while ago but I’m sure they’re still going.
Some of my favorite childhood memories are getting together with 2-3 friends to play ad-hoc Monster Hunter on PSPs. It’s exciting to imagine what can be done now with a similar feature being a core part of a game’s design.
