THIS MONTH ON EDGE
When we weren’t doing everything else, we were thinking about stuff like this
MOD
Rivals Of Aether
Joy-Con mod

Dan Fornace’s multiplayer fighting game is basically an indie Smash Bros., but its debt to Nintendo hasn’t stopped one Steam Workshop user from expressing frustration with Kyoto’s finest. Chilean modder srPerez has already created playable tributes to Bowser and Jigglypuff, but his latest effort is a rather cheekier homage. Joy-Con - based on the detachable Switch controllers, of course - is a surprisingly decent choice of fighter. There is, however, one minor, but crucial, caveat to the portable pairing: if idle, they’ll slowly drift to the left. Full marks to srPerez for authenticity, but in a month when drift claimed our final left Joy-Con, it’s a reminder that Nintendo is yet to properly address an increasingly pervasive issue among Switch owners.
