No Bluetooth? Boo, hiss, etc. Cable length on controllers is always going to be a contentious issue, in this day and age why wouldn't you include a wireless option?

Alas Nintendo have gone for authenticity over functionality, and the third party cable extenders will be a necessity for anyone who doesn't relish the idea of rekindling the 'sitting-too-close-to-the-TV' part of our gaming youth.

Phoenix lives in the North East of England and gets paid to hide that fact in voiceovers. She's also a writer, a/v editor and someone who spends a frankly ridiculous amount of time gaming. She can't resist an amiibo. She will talk your ear off about videogames, wrestling, comics, bad films and My Little Pony.
