The only thing d-pads are used for these days are hotkeying guns and items in shooters. Not much reason for companies to put out good d-pads anymore when everything uses an analog stick. Any serious fighting game enthusiasts will use a fight stick, and any retro game enthusiast probably picked up Nintendo's NES or SNES Classic controller. Or at the very least an 8bitdo.

Or the five million retro-styled games -- like for instance hard-as-nails platformers or JRPGs -- that are made and released for either the PS4 or Switch -- can't speak for the Xbox One as I don't own one, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a lot there too. And, as I said, the digital control pad on the PS4 is actually pretty ace, so I have absolutely no complaints there. For the switch, I'd have to pick up something from an online store, because... well, actual physical game stores are soon to be a thing of the past, I think, especially in Norway.

So... I might look up the 8bitdo on an online store, although I'd have to ask if those things are region locked somehow. As in, if everywhere European fails me, can I buy an American Switch pad and use that on my European Switch? I'd welcome any suggestions as well, if anyone have one.
