Fired up my copy of Dragonball Z Kakarot for the first time, played for about an hour, and was bored to tears. I imagine this game would be cool for a person who had zero experience with the DBZ story, as it's basically "slice of life" Dragonball-The-Game, episode-to-episode copy-paste of the story. But I would recommend Xenoverse 2 over Kakarot to a tried and true DBZ fan. Not a bad game per se, just the least interesting gameplay wise of all the Dragonball games on Switch.

After playing the GTA Trilogy and really getting into it again after all these years, I fired up GTA4 on Steam, but I still craved my hybrid play, so I fired up Saint's Row The Third and wow... this game is GTA in all but name. And honestly I think I like it more.
I'd played both Saint's Row The Third and Saint's Row 4 back when they released, but never spent too much time with them. Coming back after GTA makes me appreciate them in a new light. The gameplay is identical- this is PRECISELY Grand Theft Auto. But with PS3 era graphics, scope and QoL versus PS2 era, better humor, better characters, better aiming (with gyro, of course), better driving mechanics, better everything.
It's just GTA, but better in every conceivable way. I do remember Saint's Row The Third had frame rate issues at launch, but they patched in dynamic resolution which ironed out those stutters. And Saint's Row 4 looks even better (though personally I'm playing SR3 right now as concensus is its the best one, though I think SR4 is still up there from what I played).
So. Surprise holiday recommendation- SKIP GTA, PLAY SAINT'S ROW INSTEAD.
I remember playing I think the second one on 360 and man, just got so many hours in causing mayhem while the classical music station played. I have no idea if I ever actually finished the campaign, or if it was just pure dicking around. And that was before the series really laid into the crazy.
I don’t remember much about the fourth one, but I remember really enjoying the third one. It is just so bonkers and fun literally right out of the gate, there is almost no filler in that game, just insane escalation mission after another. Especially when you have the DLC and you’re fighting aliens, punching directors and fighting monsters and stuff in between gang wars.
Was Ni No Kuni patched for the Switch? It is a tenner in the Europe Festive Sale and thinking of picking it up, but I remember when it was released there were talks of performance issues and a bug that could cause the game to force close and cause you to lose progress. Were they patched out in the end? Or should I look to a different platform?
@Pizzamorg
It never had performance issues. It just had issues crashing on occasion. I know they patched it, but I'm not sure if it's 100% fixed. All I know is, it was playable before, and it's been improved upon since. I haven't encountered a single issue with the game in the 2-3 hrs I've played it.
Looks incredible in handheld, full native 720p.

Wulff Den just put up a video having now left his Switch OLED on for 1,800 hours on max brightness on the same image, trying to see if he could get it to burn in.
I think this is great. We need more of this. Actual real world tests which provide data we can use to help modify our beliefs with, regardless of whichever way it turns out.
Anyone interested in the results of his test can watch here
Spoiler: No burn in detected
Also, Gyro in Resident Evil is amazing. I'm playing Resident Evil Revelations 2 this very moment, and its perfect. Never had the cursor drift inches away, nor have I had that happen in any other game where gyro is used to fine tune aim. It's flawless. Only when you use gyro to imitate a pointer control does that become an issue. But judging by the last post it seems that's what was being attempted. If you're experiencing massive drift with gyro, you're relying on it too heavily. There should never be any need to "move the cursor back to where it was". You simply move it to aim a headshot, then release. Most ppl are using to dial in aim. And when utilized properly, it's muah! Oh so amazing. Benchmark of how aiming should be in every game.
No vid capture so I took a quick video of the gyro in RE Revelations 2. It works exactly as you'd expect for fine tuning aim, which is gyro's strong suit.
Alright, they got me... I think I'm gonna get the OLED. My launch Switch is giving me the "no cartridge inserted" error almost every other day now. It's super frustrating. My Joycon are also beat to you-know-what; a new pair would cost me close to a hundred anyway, might as well just go for it and get a fresh console. I know I'll appreciate the screen and all that once I have it.
That video was already posted on the previous page. And do you not have an opinion on the video itself? Just...post and bounce? Personally, my opinion of OLED still stands. The minor upgrades of the screen, the on-board memory, and ethernet port don't justify the asking price. Especially with the Switch's successor platform likely less than a few years away.

Yeah, I had heard about it being planned before & thought it'd be coming over here, @RR529 .... Thought there'd likely be some glad it's coming to Switch as well, though
