I guess this news is as worthy of an update as anything else. After four years of digging in its heels and ignoring its customers' requests, Nintendo is finally letting players use their own Bluetooth audio equipment with the Switch. It's bad news for anyone who bought expensive gray market peripherals to get around this limitation (and the makers of the paint program Colors! Live, who had to include a wired stylus with the software because of Nintendo's senselessly locked down Bluetooth protocol), but good news for everyone else. Just install the latest Switch firmware update- and your JoyCons while you're at it- and you're in business.
Before I go, does anyone know how to connect USB controllers to a Super NES Classic? I got a couple of those 8BitDo SN30 Pros from ShopGoodwill, and they seem like they'd be a great match for Nintendo's micro console... except for the fact that there's no way to plug them into the system. The bitter irony is that you could plug them into a Sega Genesis Mini, but the button configuration is all wrong for Genesis games, and there's no guarantee the system would even recognize them. Damned if you Nintendo, damned if you Ninten-don't.
