I'm honestly not sure. I definitely played using a standard controller. If there were any flight stick-style controller for the system I never had one.

Western triple-A is dying. Now what? A free one: newsletter.hitpoints.co/400-graveyar...
A paragraph of text from the newsletter Hit Points:

"The platform holders are similarly hosed, and the more they talk about competing with TikTok or PolyMarket, the more they fiddle in the margins with new structures or fun policies, the more nakedly aware of it they appear. They cannot make a catalogue play, go looking for the next Tokyo Jungle, Parappa or Keeper, because they’ve burned all their bridges and the indie scene has that stuff on lock regardless. They have tried to diversify over the years — Sony by mixing up its cinematic sad-dad line-up with a dozen live-service hamster wheels; Microsoft by buying everything in sight in the hope of locking us all into an industry-devouring subscription service — but players in both instances voted with their wallets and thumbs. Now we see the flogged corpse of Halo thrown desperately over the wall at Activision while Satya Nadella calls ten thousand layoffs “great to see”. We have whispers of a new Uncharted game from Naughty Dog that I will be lucky to play before I retire. We have, above all, two companies gearing up for a new generation of consoles that no one wants, or needs, or can even afford. If the rumour mill is right, and next-gen kicks off in 2028, I am increasingly convinced that the next PlayStation and Xbox will be the last of their line. Their spec sheets will read like suicide notes."

It's pretty dumb. This is clearly not about "racing" and all about putting miles onto the treadmill in whatever way possible.

sewart @sewart.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Or don't. In anything but knockout races this only affects your credits which as far as I can tell are only used to buy stuff you're going to lose at the end of the run anyway. You can still grind up your base stats this way if you're willing to put in that time.

sewart @sewart.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
I have discovered one easy strategy. Run around at about half throttle for the bulk of the race. You'll still be fighting for top 10 this way but won't usually crash into anything. When the music starts, if you actually start to race, you have a good chance of winning with one good lap.

Yeah if you mean the red lights they’re not super helpful when you’re just kind of facing a horizon full of them. If they’re pointing in a particular direction I can’t see it.

Ah ok. I made it to the first boss last night but it seemed pretty clear I wasn’t supposed to beat him yet. Getting real tired of playing the same three planets over and over

Yes it does. The tracks look great but they feel punishing for the sake of the grind.

Yep. Metroid and Castlevania have leaned hard into becoming modern copies of the indie games they originally inspired. Honestly that's probably the best way to appeal to modern audiences, but not me.
