@JaxonH That review reads like a 9 or 10 but I'm glad they enjoyed it.

It's a killer port of Skyrim. Clearly superior to the PS3/360 versions, not quite up to scratch with PS4/X1... but still has the better lighting and all that jazz. Sits comfortably somewhere in the middle but with all the niceties of the special edition upgrade.

And portable. It's becoming just a tack on word... easily cast aside... but portability basically means 3 versions for one price tag. Console. Handheld. Portable console. Gotta love the Switch

gasp you mean that a piece of hardware that is newer can use the same shaders and more advanced tech despite being less powerful?

This is what some of us have been trying to tell. The architecture of the switch is fully capable of running everything that is on rivals/PC, but might need a downgrade in certain visuals (i.e lower textures/models).

The code and function set can work with minimal work.

On another note, I'm 100% certain that there will be a trailer for the Champion's Ballad DLC at the Game Awards, with an "available right now" release.

@IceClimbers That would be cool especially right after they win GotY. Fingers crossed!

Is it just me that is far more interested in high quality or even souped-up ports from PS360 than compromised current Gen ports?

I'm the same. There are so many titles from last gen that I've not yet got around to, which would be perfect to take on the go. How about a portable Mass Effect trilogy, for instance?

I'd also love to see some of the 6th gen games that got HD rereleases last gen - Space Channel 5 part 2, Resident Evil 4, Jet Set Radio, Kingdom Hearts, Beyond Good and Evil...

@Zuljaras
Yes. 100% confirmed by Bethesda.

It is the special edition. But even if Bethesda hadn't confirmed it, people deduced it from screenshot comparisons to be 99% sure

Yes all of them please. Mass Effect Trilogy would be great. I'd like to see GTA IV and V, Sleeping Dogs, the Souls games, the Arkham games, the Orange Box, SSX and some decent racers.

A random thought I just had today. We know Crypt of the Necrodancer is coming to the Switch. We got GameCube adapter support for Switch couple of weeks ago. You can actually play the game with a DDR dance pad.

Quick question about turning Switch off.
Soo, gotten more games, so will likely play daily if I can in the future.

I know people say just leave it in sleep mode, but is it safe to keep it just in sleep mode in that 'deluxe travel case' or whatever its named? I mainly play in handheld mode.

Tobiaku

Ralizah

@tobibra Yeah, it's safe. Like almost all modern electronics, it's designed to stay in a low-energy state when not in use.

JaxonH

Yup. Only time I ever turn off is to add a digital retail title to my spare micro SD card tucked away in the Nyko kickstand I just bought.

And let me tell you, that Nyko kickstand is worth its weight in gold. Not only is it aluminum and sturdy, it houses a second micro SD card underneath it. Which was needed. My 400gb doesn't stand a chance at the rate I'm going. It's gonna take two 400gb cards, a main with all indies and digital exclusives, and updates/installs for cartridges, and a second with digital copies of all the top retail titles. Rather than carry 20 cartridges, can just swap SD and bam, all the games are there ready to go. And can instead carry 20 different cartridges of games.

@JaxonH Another top quality game to add to the ever growing list. If 2018 can even match this year, never mind top it we're in for a real treat. Console history tells us though that year 2 is usually when a console comes into its own and with the momentum the Switch has behind it, why would it be any different this time. Exciting stuff.

Are the eShop charts actually different from region to region?
Like Germany to UK? Or America to Canada?

Here's the German Switch eShop Top 15:

1. Rocket League
2. Super Mario Odyssey
3. Stardew Valley
4. DOOM
5. UNO
6. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
7. Cat Quest
8. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
9. Minecraft - Nintendo Switch Edition
10. Monopoly für Nintendo Switch
11. Snipperclips: Zusammen schneidet man am besten ab!
12. The Sparkle 2: Evo
13. Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas
14. Sonic Forces
15. Landwirtschafts-Simulator - Nintendo Switch Edition

I wish L.A. Noire was on there somewhere. I think it's great. Well, I haven't contributed to its placement in the eShop charts as I got the physical version, and I guess many others had the same idea because of its huge file size.

And there's a large amount of Switch users in Germany not buying into the download-half-of-the-game-thing. They rather just buy one, two, three, or four, or five of the many other great new games that are available on the Switch. So even on retail L.A. Noire does not perform as well as it could. I mean, everyone saw it coming. Except of the publishers Take-Two Interactive. The signs were there. Put your glorious games on a 32Gig!

@SKTTR Ours is just a little different for the top 5 off the top of my head. I'm also pretty sure Canada is included in NA.

#1 Mario
#2 Rocket League
#3 Stardew
#4 Doom
#5 Skyrim (preload)

The only reason I keep checking is to see if L.A. Noire is in there and like you I'm disappointed it isn't. I also got physical though so I didn't help as well.
