Here in the Search nav, you can.... SEARCH. Start typing a game or gamer, it will autosuggest. Press one to go, or hit Enter to get the full search results.
Below the searchbox, you'll see recent games, gamers, clubs, events, and quests you've visited.
Below that is the full site map with all of the different pages on this platform. Most of these are accessible in the other navs too. But here they're all in one place, if you're into that sort of thing.
Jump in a virtual or IRL event, tournament, or league. Participate in a Quest (a gaming challenge that you can do any time). Channel 3 has something for all skill levels, including gaming-focused daily minigames.
Go to Events below to search for real-time tournaments or other events. Quests will show you offline challenges you can complete at any time.
Quests are challenges you can do on your own, any time you want. Some are simple questions, others are things you need to do in game, such as time trials.
You may have friends here already, or you may meet your next lifelong squadmate here. Either way, Channel 3 is most fun when you find your people and can have friendly competitions and participate in challenges together.
Below you can navigate all the gamers, clubs, and causes on Channel 3.
If you'd like to create and run a Club, submit an New Club Request.
Whether it's 1 to 2, or 99 to 100, leveling up is the best feeling in the world. On Channel 3, when you participate in quests, when your post gets 1Up'd, when you crush a daily minigame, you get XP. Get 1k XP, and you level up and unlock rewards. Rewards can be custom reaction GIFs, cool backgrounds, or prize wheel spins for IRL gaming gear or in game currency.
Turbo is an optional subscription for superusers. You don't need Turbo to enjoy Channel 3. Turbo users get early access to new features, and are able to unlock more levels in a season.
On Channel 3, seasons last 3 months. They will always run January 1 - April 1, April 1 - July 1, July 1 - October 1, and October 1 - January 1.
Open channel3.gg in Chrome. Click the Install icon in the right side of the address bar:
Click Install when you get this prompt.
After installation, you can pin to the Windows taskbar alongside your other favorite apps.
Open channel3.gg in Safari. It has to be Safari.
Tap the Share button in the middle of the footer.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add on the prompt.
BOOM. You're done. iPhones try to act like it's "just a website bookmark" because they want everyone to go through the App Store but really it functions just like an app... Full screen, moveable icon on your home screen. All of it.
Enjoy.
Install the Channel 3 app from the Google Play Store.

Joy Stick, I can still feel the blisters on my thumbs from years of d-pad use. The joy stick might not have the same micro-control, but the ease and convenience make up for it.
Especially in anything requiring precise movement, D-Pad i definitely the way to go. D-Pad >>>> Stick any and all days of the week. Also, here's my controller of choice that I wanted to show off!!
Games that were originally created in the dpad era usually play better using one, of you don't have analog control of your character why would you waste all the movement for the same result. I'm defau...more
Such a toss up, I use both in different scenarios. Dr Mario or Tetris etc, any retro game is gonna be the D-Pad, but I also use it on Isaac when I have certain tear effects. But, most other games get ...more
I’m that psycho that will use my Super NES controller for regular Switch games sometimes. I also use the D Pad when playing any of the @trialshd games.
Generally I’ll still use the d-pad as that aids the muscle memory.
Though if the d-pad isn’t conveniently located on the modern controller, I lean towards using the joystick.
If I have a retro controller, I’ll use the dpad. But if I’m using a pro controller, I just use the joystick a lot of times. It does depend on game a bit too.
I've never really thought about just using the D-Pad when playing retro games on the switch pro controller. It is just muscle memory now I guess use the joystick on the controller (if an option) since...more
It actually annoys me that some of the retro games on the Nintendo Switch want you to use the analog stick when everyone played that game growing up with the dpad.
I mean most games these days are joystick so that's what I use. Retro games are almost always dpad except if I'm using joy constantly cause that isn't event a pad, it just 4 buttons that lie to you
