I always used my 3DS stand that came with Kid Icarus Uprising for my Switch.

That's exactly what I do. Ever so handy having something from a previous console that can do a job for the next.

@Spoony_Tech I'll find out tomorrow,took a free months trial of Prime as I've got a few things to order while I'm back in the UK. I think it just grips it from the bottom so it should be OK.

I'm linking to Amazon UK since that's where you shop. I use this stand because it's incredibly portable and folds up so tiny it's amazing,

In order to charge while in table top mode, you'll need a right angle USB-C cable, because it sits so low you can't fit a normal one in. But that's the price you pay for such a portable stand.

And since you need a wall charger to plug it into, or a portable battery, I will list one of each. The important thing to note here is that you want... need USB-C PD (Power Delivery). Power Delivery is what makes the difference between charging at 18W like the official charger, or a measly 10W which is barely enough to power the system while playing and takes incredibly long to charge. But with USB-C PD even a portable battery can charge from 0-100% in 4 hrs while playing Zelda, Splatoon, Mario Kart, whatever demanding game you so desire.

AoT 2? Pretty nice.

I used to be into the manga until it went full blown crazy within the last year. I imagine the game could have some interesting gameplay depending on if they carry the story into the arc following the Clash of Titans.

It's too bad Battle Chasers: Nightwar has such a generic name, because until now the game wasn't on my radar. It looks absolutely amazing, though! A proper turn-based dungeon crawler for Switch!

@MegaTen That's good to know. If a random PC potato on YouTube says so, then it must be right

So I'm seeing 1TB PS4 bundles with FIFA 18 going for â‚Ŧ320. I'm sitting here waiting for a good deal on the Switch. Ain't gonna happen, is it? I'm debating whether I should go for the red/blue one or wait until the grey edition is back in stock...

@Octane To be fair the PS4 manufacturing cost has fallen over 4 years allowing them to hit that price. A new system with game never goes for low.

Actually now I think about it I paid ÂŖ335 for my 1TB PS4 in 2015 without a game. Turns out its not much of a price drop on the PS4 side.

Still, there is the Odyssey bundle if you want thay.

@Octane Well it's Nintendo, if you're lucky there'll be a good deal on Black Friday.

@BLP_Software I got mine for â‚Ŧ299 (1TB) in early 2015(?). Bloodborne just came out, I still haven't played it though...

The Odyssey bundle is more expensive than buying the Switch and the game separately, â‚Ŧ389 for the bundle, but the Switch is â‚Ŧ329, and Odyssey is â‚Ŧ50. And the bundle comes with a download code. I prefer physical, so I can save on storage space.

@Grumblevolcano That's after Mario Odyssey though...

Octane

Grumblevolcano

@Octane Well that's the choice you have to make, do you spend more and play Mario Odyssey at launch or wait for a month after launch and spend less.

Grumblevolcano

Pazzo-TheFool

I paid $50 extra to play it at launch.

Looking back, I probably should have waited, but I did love BoTW early.

@Grumblevolcano YouTube tumbnails and articles (even here on NLife) are spoiler-y enough as they are. I don't want to see more until I've played the game myself, so yeah, I rather get it sooner than later.

@Octane
What about Amazon UK? Do they ship to where you're at? Cause ÂŖ279 is only like â‚Ŧ315, and the physical game shows ÂŖ42 which is â‚Ŧ47.43.

@MegaTen Indeed... and it's hard to ignore stuff on the internet. It's everywhere... I like to go in knowing as little as possible. I'm sure there's a reason why we get so many trailers and teasers these days. And I'm certain you can link that to people's short attention spans. If you're not advertising your game every week, they [the mass market] will forget about it and move on.

@JaxonH Shipping costs are around â‚Ŧ10. I'll save a few bucks, but returning any item in case it's broken is a big hassle. I've thought about it, but I don't mind the extra â‚Ŧ5 knowing that I can return it at any moment. Not counting on it of course, but you never know.

I'll be honest that I'm considering not getting Mario Odyssey until late December/January. I feel as though my backlog's already overflowing such that all I really need for the rest of the year is FE Warriors, DLC and expansions.

Like yesterday I beat the final boss and watched the credits of Fire Emblem Echoes only to find out that I hadn't actually finished the game, there were even more levels afterwards and I'm not even talking DLC.

@MegaTen It's not just gaming. Films, music, the entire entertainment industry basically, marketing, everything. Everyone has a phone and internet access, so we get bombarded with new information, and your brain is very effective at filtering all that information. Meaning you just forget a lot of things the moment you move to something else. So the response is to repeat it enough times so that you won't forget it.

For us it means that we can't escape all the trailers, teasers, articles, Tweets and whatnots...
