@antster1983 Nice. Looked it up on Steam and it seems interesting.

@MegaTen Penguin wars looks amazing fun!

This shmup looks like a day one for me;

Skull And Bones Probably Won’t Set Sail On Nintendo Switch

Finally, after 3 months of shipment delay, I'm now a very happy Switch owner. Now, where's the way to Neon Switch owner's club?

@GrailUK Looks cool. To be honest shoot 'em ups have never been my genre - I'm too young to have lived through their real heyday and I've always found later day entries very tough. Dimension Drive still looks like it'd be too hard for me but it definitely seems to be an innovative take on the genre.

@GrailUK I like the look of Dimension Drive, but am I being daft in saying the apparent lack of variation in player's firing weapon in that video is a bit of a kicker?

@gcunit Maybe (a bit of a kicker I mean, not you being daft lol!). It looks like it powers up, but for me a new mechanic of flipping screens or 'dimensions' should be engaging enough as long as the level design is canny enough.

@Azooooz Switch get! Gz

@GrailUK Thanks. When I opened the package, I rubbed my hands with excitement. You can imagine how happy I am right now.

@Azooooz What ya gonna play first?

@GrailUK Experiencing the epicness known as Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@Azooooz Oh sweet. I hear it's quite good.

@MegaTen
I'm looking forward to Lost Sphear. I really enjoyed I Am Setsuna, and honestly, even if this feel very similar just without all the snow, I'd still be ok with it. Setsuna wasn't especially long, so I'm all-in for more of the combat system and such.

@GrailUK Yep, and I just got started. So far, it's amazing.

Hey guys! I finally got my Switch, and I have a couple of doubts, hopefully you can help.

1) I tested my internet's speeds with the Switch and it gave me around 3.6 - 2.8 Mbps for download and 755 Kbps for update. Crappy, I know, but is it enough for playing online? Or should I try to go wired (its a last option since it would mean buying an extra wire)?

2) Is there any group for sharing Switch's Friend Codes here on NL, and for playing MK8D or Splatoon 2? None of my friends are interested in VG, so it would be nice to play with some of you guys. Never got around to sharing FC in the 3DS or Wii U.

Cheers!

@Luna_110 I would plug it in if I were you. I've heard some with speeds around there not being able to connect online at all.

Also feel free to add me. Code is in my Sig or will be there in a few.

Just seen this breaking news on the BBC website while checking sports news.

Live eSports is coming to BBC Three

Maybe some Nintendo games will get some coverage.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
They put one round of the Overwatch World Cup qualifiers on Australian TV live last week. It wasn't that great. They cut the broadcast short of the last round for one thing. They also chose to broadcast a regular match rather than the first play-off despite the fact that we were going to qualify for the playoff by that stage. To make things even worse? They put adds during most of the important bits.

Good for exposure of eSports? Sure. But I wouldn't hold my breath for decent coverage. In the end I just tuned into the Twitch stream

@Luna_110 Gz on the Switch Luna
