You know, for a long time, I have really preferred handheld gaming over console gaming. With the DS systems, the PSP, the Vita, and even the Wii U, I have enjoyed many hours of gaming. But - and this might upset the faithful - as much as I love the Switch, I just really have a hard time playing it for longer than thirty or forty minutes. It gets uncomortable to me in my hands. It's really not very ergonomic, and in addition to that, the thumbsticks are total crap. 

One of the much touted features of the new Apple iPad operating system released last week is you can now connect a PS4 controller or Xbox controller via bluetooth to play games. This works for regular iPad native games, but also for the PS4 remote app and the Steam link streaming app, as well as Microsoft's future Project X Cloud streaming service (where you can stream Xbox games on mobile devices without owning an Xbox). I fooled around with PS4 remote streaming on my iPad the other day, and it worked great! I tried out Red Dead Redemption, which looked great - my iPad Pro screen is much nicer than my ten-year-old Sony flatscreen TV. 

I finally played the DQ11 demo last night on Switch. I LOVE this game. It's SO good. I was really impressed with the new orchestrated soundtrack, even on the Switch speakers. The Battle music is slamming.
