Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@ralizah So I ended up grabbing a digital copy of sword today. That's not to say i won't grab TW3, but I'd MUCH rather have Tw3 in physical with that sweet 32gb cart. So ill be picking that up in a few weeks. And i had some eshop credit/gold coins so I only had spend a few bucks to grab sword. I'll probably tackle it with my daughter as it'll be both of our first experiences with a Pokemon game.

@BruceCM Nope, haven't found either of those things yet. It's literally just the first monster I encountered when I headed in the direction of the main quest.

Well, that shouldn't be anything very strong, @link3710 .... Just to check, it's on the way from the inn to the Nilfgaard Garrison?
Which might be one of the guarded treasures or something? That'd explain why it's tougher
There's an easy quest you can pick up around the village before going there, though

Thanks for the answers. I was thinking of gyro and the shrine. Thanks guys for that list as well, luckily nothing essential I’d want is on there.

@NintendoByNature Yeah, if there's one game it makes sense to go physical on, it's The Witcher 3.

How old is your daughter, if you don't mind my asking? Anyway, it sounds like a great experience to have with her! Will you switch off, or will one of you play and the other watch?

@SuperSpaghetti The only thing you might have issues with is certain moons in Mario Odyssey, which rely on motion gestures with detached joycons and HD rumble. But the game is still perfectly playable otherwise.

And, in general, so are the vast majority of games. It's why I've transitioned to the Switch Lite as my primary model of choice.

@Ralizah I saw a video showing that screen shaking happens for Odyssey rumble moons on the Switch Lite.

@Ralizah no problem at all. Shes soon to be 7. Well probabaly switch off and work together on it. Shes able to read pretty well Now, so it works out.

@NintendoByNature If you ever get Let's Go, that has a sort of co-op mode where two players can run around and battle and capture Pokemon together.

@Grumblevolcano I wonder if that's exclusive to Switch Lite, or if it's just an effect that was always there?

Now if they'd just patch in a workaround for the upward hat toss!

@Ralizah Exclusive to Switch Lite, must have been added with the VR update.

From what I heard it's something that already happened if you used controllers without any kind of rumble.

@Grumblevolcano Nope, it's always been there. Only happened if you switched rumble off in the system settings.

Just got this Luigi’s Mansion 3 steelbook in the mail, imported from Europe where it was exclusive to GAME in the UK. Glow in the dark. Oddly, Amazon Germany put it up for sale separately for $15 with global shipping. So I jumped on that with the quickness.

@JaxonH looks amazing!

@JaxonH Does the 15$ global shipping works to import from US as well? I am trying to find a way to import US games to Europe but the cost is 40$ and above. The only exception is Limited Run Games.

@Star-Lord You've already missed a better deal - Very.co.uk were doing Switch v2 for £259.99, but with £50 off for new accounts = £209.99.

@JaxonH
That looks sweet

@Zuljaras
That was the cost of the steelbook, not the shipping. I just meant they offered global shipping rather than only to people in Germany.

When I import from Amazon Japan and any Amazon in Europe, it’s incredibly cheap. I’d say, typically I pay around $8-15 shipping. And the cost of the item usually drops in checkout because the VAT tax doesn’t apply to me, or whatever tax is for people in that country.

I don’t know why importing from Amazon US would be any different than the other Amazons. Might want to research that.

Subscription services in Nintendo games sure are spreading fast...

@JaxonH I will check if amazon.com calculates shipping to my country and if I have to pay customs because the customs is the troubling part. They might hold my item and tell me to pay a tax usually around 40$. And I want to avoid that
