NYXI Wizard Review: Joy Cons, Gamecube Edition

Ever wonder what it'd feel like to swap your joy cons for a #Gamecube controller sawed in half? #NYXI has you covered! With their new Wizard controller, you get the nifty layout of a Wavebird with the modern comfort of Hall Effect joysticks. It's pretty sick.

Notes:

Before filming, we actually tried for at least a solid 10 minutes to remove joystick caps and couldn't get them to budge. The solution ended up being to really push on the small raised bits on the rings with a nail. Even then, it took quite a bit of force.

Having joysticks and their coverings secured tightly is definitely not a downside. (We'd rather it be too tight than too loose.) However, I could see someone buying this controller and (like us) having a difficult time making replacements.
