The Best Switch Controller For Smash Bros Is Discounted Right Now
There are a ton of fantastic Switch controllers, especially if you’re looking for a GameCube-style one to play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with. If that sounds like something you’re interested in, then you’ll be happy to hear that one of the best Nintendo Switch controllers out there is on sale at Amazon right now. Right now, you can snag PowerA’s wireless GameCube-style controller for $37.49, down from its regular price of $50.
PowerA’s GameCube-style controller is quite similar to the original it’s based on, but there are a few key differences. Firstly, it has a significantly larger D-Pad, which makes 2D platformers a lot more enjoyable to play. It also features an extra shoulder button to emulate the Switch’s L button, making it a controller that can handle more than just GameCube-friendly titles–it works great with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. The wireless version of PowerA’s controller can even wake up the Switch from Sleep mode.
In addition to the GameCube-style controllers, PowerA’s Enhanced wireless controllers for Nintendo Switch are also discounted. You can find many of them at the same price, too, including the Pokemon Sword / Shield starters, various Poke Balls, and more.
NBC’s Fall 2020 Schedule Is Full Of Shows That Haven’t Filmed, So What’s The Plan?
What’s going to air on NBC this fall when the new TV season launches? According to the network, a long list of returning favorites and the new Law & Order spin-off starring Christopher Meloni. Of course, the issue at hand is that none of these shows have been filming due to the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, and there’s been no indication that production will begin anytime soon.
NBC revealed its fall schedule in a tweet, noting it’s planning to air new episodes of Superstore, Manifest, New Amsterdam, Law & Order: SVU, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Also on the schedule are three hours of The Voice each week, a new season of This Is Us, and the One Chicago block of shows. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, though, NBC has not actually revealed when the fall season will launch. Typically, the major networks launch their programming seasons in September. NBC has yet to confirm that, though. The network, however, has revealed that a new 30 Rock special, which will be filmed remotely, will air in July to introduce the fall schedule and preview what NBC has in the works over the next year.

Still, seeing NBC’s approach to a fall season during a pandemic is to conduct business as usual is interesting, given what other networks are doing. Fox has obtained the broadcast rights to the Spectrum series LA’s Finest, while The CW is pushing most of its shows to 2021 and opting to run episodes of DC Universe’s Swamp Thing and CBS All Access’ Tell Me a Story instead.
