NYXI WIZARD
Nostalgic Nintendo Ngamers have a lot of fondness for the WaveBird, which was the first modern wireless controller when it was released for the GameCube back in the early noughties. That classic design is the inspiration behind this controller, which is another step towards making your Switch feel exactly like a GameCube.
Of course, the Switch Online service doesn't have a library of games from that console, but there certainly are a decent number of classic GameCube-era titles on the handheld, including this year's acclaimed Metroid Prime Remastered, while fans of Super Smash Bros Ultimate still swear by the GameCube controller layout. So what better way to experience all that than with the NYXI Wizard? It sports a highly evocative purple colour, while its button layout is just as you remember it (though anyone used to the modern layout of controllers might take some time to adjust). One difference is that, where the yellow C-stick used to be, there's now just a regular thumbstick with textured grip - an update that we don't mind. And these clickable sticks use Hall-effect sensors, meaning you don't have to worry about drift.

HOW CHEAP IS YOUR LOVE?
‘Affordable’ is very much a relative term. To a billionaire, building a champagne-fuelled rocket out 24-carat gold, filling it with diamonds the size of Yorkshire puddings and blasting it into outer space just for something to do is affordable; but to the rest of us, a couple of hundred quid can bust the budget.
