Mighty Gunvolt, World of Goo, Blaster Master, Kamiko, Metal Slug, King of Fighters and Flip Wars seem to be the best of the bunch for under a tenner.
You should note that World of Goo is only touch screen controls. Or if you have it docked, a weird laser pointer style control. This was totally not what I was looking for so I consider it a waist of money. Its too bad as the game looks like it could be fun but I'm not messing with a touch screen game on Switch.
I just put a Nintendo Switch Neon red and blue and Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in layaway from Walmart for a Christmas Present for the family. Going to also be picking up Mario Odyssey to go along with that. What else would be some good switch accessories and games to get?
Can anyone recommend any decent single-player experiences which have surprisingly good battery life in Handheld Mode? (4-5 hours perhaps?) ..got a couple of long trips coming up - would love something that could last me the distance
I got 5+ hours of gaming time in handheld mode with I am Setsuna in my last bus trip...
@NintendoPete Thanks for the recommendation Great sounding battery life! ..I've actually had the Blaster Master Zero demo downloaded for some time, just haven't gotten around to giving it a go yet - I'll have to get on that and see what I think!
@cambotero Thanks for the tip about I am Setsuna too I've just checked it out - it looks really pretty (and quite deep too!) ..very impressive battery life as well - definitely a great looking option!
Hello everyone!
Just wanted to hear if anyone has recommendations for local co-op games? We're very casual players so anything with too steep a difficulty curve would not suit us too well. Don't mind lengthy games though, as long as they're not too hard or need to be played in very long sessions (we rarely play more than 30-60 minutes during the weekends). Also don't mind playing single player games where two people putting our not-too-clever minds together makes things more interesting.
Thankful for any recommendations~
Monster Hunter XX is the best game on Switch right now imo. I wouldn't recommend it to any new players but if you have played the series before you're already familiar with everything- to you I highly recommend this game because it is incredibly easy to play. More than I thought it would be. We have guides in the Forum thread and translation references and anything and everything you would ever need.
Also recommend Ultra Street Fighter II because that game is worth owning. I've had more fun with that game than any Street Fighter in the last I don't know how many years. And on demand multiplayer is king with this game.
And Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. The game is legit.
And Splatoon 2 to anyone who thinks they don't like online games... let me just say I don't either. In fact I never play online, with 2 exceptions. Splatoon for competitive and Monster Hunter for co-op. Even my brother who absolutely hates online play now loves this game after coming over and seeing me play all the time. I think people who hate online games love this game because anyone can be good at it and contribute to the team. And you don't have to worry about it being just a headshot Fest like some other games. Anyone can paint and anyone can have fun with this game. Start with the single player, learn the mechanics, and jump on in. I think the Salmon Run co-op is particularly awesome.
And now I'm going to list all the best accessories
Start with a good case. This one has a zip up pocket which is essential to fit everything in it. It also has a handle, and trust me when I say having a handle is essential for portability. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's too hard to carry a case without a handle and everything else that you carry on a daily basis (morning coffee, keys, lunch, etc)
A good portable charger is a must. Not only do we want USB-C, we want USB-C PD (Power Delivery) for rapid charge times equal to or exceeding that of Nintendo's official charger. This puppy here even comes with a USB-C PD wall charger, which is another essential accessory on the list so if you get this one you can knock both of those out with one stone.
And if you went with the larger, cheaper Aukey, you'll need a USB-C PD wall charger. Not only is this cheaper than buying a second official wall charger but the USB cable will be able to detach from it which means it can double its use by plugging into the portable battery to the Switch, plugging in the wall charger to the Switch, or plugging in the wall charger to the portable battery. That's why you don't want to get an official charger. Because then you would still need a separate USB cable, taking up even more space, not to mention the official charger is super large and clunky, and our goal is to fit everything inside this one case
Now, for the USB-C to USB-C cable... Notice this one has a right angle on one end. This is crucial, because there's a super portable, foldable tripod perfect for charging in tabletop mode, but due to how small and portable it is you won't have room to fit in the cable unless it's a right angle. So get this one (plus it's nice when you're playing handheld to have the cable running out to the side).
And sideways joycon is not ideal. Use these. They're truly amazing, and come in all joycon colors, and the colors actually match perfectly. It's not some cheap knockoff red or blue. It's the real deal.

Well just demoed Pokken Tournament DX and I have to say that I am REALLY leaning toward Pokken...loved the fighting style and my kids could pick it up easily, but I can also enjoy the what depth there is. I know it isn't a hugely deep game. BUT, I also want to support the 3rd party games such as DBZX2...so I am still in a bit of conundrum.
So I cancelled my P okken, preorder. With that I want to preorder fire emblem warriors or Skyrim...wanting both. But I am thinking Skyrim....but I dunno.
