If you’re a gamer, you more than likely have at the very least two different controllers in your house, or on you, if not more. One for the Xbox, one for the PS4, maybe a gamepad you use with your Mac/PC and then your phone itself. There are loads of iOS and Android games that play much better with a physical external controller to add on top of that. Sure there are options out there that makes this a little bit less annoying, and for most hardcore consoles gamers it is the first party options or nothing. Nonetheless, a single universal gamepad that could get the job done is in the works known as the ALL-Controller.

When Nintendo Switch launched some two months ago for $300 it broke sales records just about everywhere it was available. In fact, it sold more in the first weekend than any other Nintendo hardware release in history. For those lucky enough to their hands on one in the interim, the unbelievable Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild lay in wait. A game that not only saw near perfect review scores across the board, but one that also became Nintendo’s best-selling title in Europe ever.
Needless to say, this is one sought after console and Nintendo is still fumbling to fill the needs of consumers. While we are still waiting on the impending ramp up in Switch production, don’t worry, GameStop has already received another shipment available for purchase this week…
