Zuiki Go By Train!
Densha de Go!! is a big deal in Japan. This long-running series of train driving sims are hyper-realistic, and the Switch’s 2020 release, Hashirou Yamanote Sen, was no exception. Designed to replicate the daily life of a train driver, these are deliberately down-to-earth, no-explosions simulations with mundanity at their core. But you don’t want to be doing any of that on your Joy-Cons. You want a peripheral that accurately simulates the controls of a real train.
That’s where Zuiki steps in, with the “Dedicated One Handle Controller.” This thing is not messing about, combining all the buttons you need for a Switch with all the levers you need for pulling out of a station.
I love that this exists, and I wish such eccentric controllers weren’t confined to Japan. There are train nerds the whole world over, and they all deserve this too.
