Feels great to me. I love Switch OLED in handheld mode. Feels the exact same as my previous v2 and v1 Switch. Technically it's a smidge heavier by a few grams but not enough for me to detect the difference.

@Solaine
That's what's up. Idk if you've played Three Houses, but I like it just as much thus far. And that's saying something.

Let us know your thoughts after playing the demo. It goes through Chapter 4. A lot of tutorial stuff in the first few fights but by the end of the demo it's all done with

That's the best way, @Solaine .... Apart from the part where you might find out you do like it, after all, of course, lol

@Fizza and Fall Guys also run terribly on Switch, time for Nintendo to anounce and release the Switch sucessor.

@JaxonH I just checked, and yeah, somehow my location was set as the United States. I'm actually in Brazil, where getting physical Switch games at a reasonable price (or getting physical Switch games at all) is far from easy. I have the slight edge of living next to a major gray market area, but their selection/timing of availability leave a lot to be desired. So I leave physical for the occasions when someone I know makes a trip to North America.

@Yoshi2
Switch lite is even smaller than original size Switch and not to mention the text size for certain games become even smaller and harder to read in handheld mode since you want to pick Switch lite.
OLED edition is still better option for having extra large screen size.
Don't mind with the weight, at least it isn't 5 kg device.

@Fizza
Well, you can continue your backlogs then.

@Anti-Matter Literally playing through Paper Mario 64 again as you said that. Your clairvoyance knows no bounds XD

I've played Fall Guys... It's mediocre

@Kermit1 I think the game itself isn't mediocre, but rather the Switch version. That's just my take at least.

@Kermit1 no its not. Switch version? Yeah.

???

What are you talking about, “terrible”? According to who?

The gameplay shown looks fine, and even the narrator says it’s fine. So… huh?

@Fizza
I personally will always avoiding games with F2P practice since I'm against free 2 play games with some micro transactions on it.
Free 2 play games are never meant to be free 100%, there is always some money transaction behind free 2 play games and I will not support or living in F2P games.
I still being dinosaur, playing games in old style, with disc and cartridge + all contents inside the physical media as possible.

@Fizza It's not a bad game and on Switch I thought the 3fps character models were funny. It's just when I played it for a bit (same thing happened with Pokemon Unite) I got tired of all the micro-transactions...

Not a good reason to stop playing a game I know but I'd rather get destroyed on SSBU online then play this if that makes any sense.

Kermit1: a fan of games, loves cats.

8/10, everything was very well made, and I got into games very fast. (NintendoLife hire me lol)

@Anti-Matter I'm very much in the same camp myself: if it looks like pop ups for money spending are a constant, I don't want anything to do with it. There is one F2P game however that I play regularly that to this day I haven't spent a cent on and still had a great time. It's probably not the one you'd expect either.

There's still stuff you can buy for real world money, but it's very generous when it comes to giving you the currency to make stuff happen without paying anything and playing it is one of the most relaxing things I've ever done. I have 145 hours in it and I'm still having a great time even now.

@Fizza I've downloaded that, but only played it for like 10 minutes because I found the touch controls weird. But I bet if I spend more time with the game I will enjoy the controls more.

@WoomyNNYes I deleted Fall Guys off my Switch and when I went to sign in on the Epic Games Store website, it said there was nothing to sign into and it prompted me to create a new account altogether. Does that mean that, by deleting Fall Guys, I also got rid of my Epic account? I'll take it if that's the case.

@Fizza I googled "epic games sign in". You should get this page where they want you to select your platform to sign in. https://www.epicgames.com/id/login
You'll pick nintendo, it redirects to nintendo.com to sign in. After you login, it drops you back onto epicgame's site showing your your account. Scroll down to "DELETE ACCOUNT" and you'll see a button: REQUEST ACCOUNT DELETE.

If you are unsuccessful to access your epic games account, then maybe they didn't keep it.

Intrusive microtransactions sound like a great reason to avoid playing something.

@WoomyNNYes I genuinely think they didn't keep it. When I clicked on your link, all it did was take me to the create an account page, not the login page. Also, when I couldn't get into Fall Guys earlier, it was due to an 'authentication error' and a 'failure to login'. It must've just forgotten my account! It's nothing to worry about anyway since, like you said yourself, it's literally just for cross-platform play/progression but it's nice to have it settled in my mind.

Btw, here's proof of my page (I just entered a random country if you're curious why it's Uzbekistan of all places):

@Fizza Gotya.

I downloaded Fall Guys, because I wanted to try it. We'll see if it works for me. I'm curious if I struggle to get matches like you did.
