I'll be a dad in a few weeks, so naturally as a gamer I started to search on how to share games with my son in the coming years. On Switch, I can't really share digital games with my son in other consoles, apparently.
So this is a question for those of you who have multiple consoles for multiple users at home: how do you share your games? What are the limitations and workarounds you use?
Woah Y's X Nordics looks awesome. I am really happy they went with a brighter tone this time, the dark and gothic tone of IX turned me off from playing the game. The world and characters look great. Some cool things I saw were the grapple hook mechanic, a little bit of stealth and the ice spell to alter the environment. The fights seem to be fluid as usual. I hope there will be a possibility to turn off the blood effects, it is a bit too much.
I'm just glad Falcom is developing Ys X for Switch internally, rather than subcontracting another studio for the Switch version. I believe Trails Into Reverie, which is releasing in a few weeks, will be their first internally developed Switch game, iirc.
Those Tomb Raider games are actually pretty decent. I remember pre-ordering on PS4 many years ago, I opened the case and there was a download code inside. At least they're not pulling that crap this time. Just sell it digitally so I can download from the eShop directly.

Was there a problem with the last Switch Y's games? Only did a quick comparison of the PlayStation 4 and Switch version of Y's VIII Lacrimosa Of Dana.
Picked up 3D World for switch after neglecting it for two years. Hope the bowser’s fury thing is fun since I played the base game on the Wii u years back. Also bought crash 4 because NEO CORTEX
Ys IX port on Switch was rough at launch. Frequent crashing, bad framerate, low resolution, etc. A post-patch smoothed things over, but it still doesn't look or run all that well. I don't know who the developer was? But whoever it was messed up, so Falcom are taking the port of X back in-house.
@Magician
Thanks. It is sad to hear what happened to Y's IX. Hopefully shifting to in-house development will help to make a good Switch version. I feel at home with my Switch and even though I own a PlayStation 4 Pro I would rather play on the Switch.

If you like Crash Bandicoot and challenging games, you will propably love Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. I had a good time with it.

While Ys VIII didn't look the best visually and certainly didn't have flawless performance, it was totally playable and very enjoyable on Switch.
Ys IX, on the other hand, was an unmitigated disaster. The framerate would routinely tank to 15-20 fps within the city, which you spend a LOT of time in. I'm no framerate snob, but even for me it crossed the line into being "too aggravating to play" and I just shelved it.
Their Trails games have been excellent though. I think Trails of Cold Steel 3 has some pixelation that's noticeable but overall it's a far more polished experience than any Ys game on Switch. Trails of Cold Steel 4 was even better. They used AA to smooth out the pixelated assets and its probably the best Falcom game on Switch to date. Then there's the Trails Crossbell duology, Trails From Zero and Trails From Azure, both of which were impeccable, superior releases to the PS4 versions.
But all of those games were contracted out to other studios. I expect Falcom to set the bar with their internal releases given the quality of the first two Trails From Cold Steel games on Vita, which was a full generational gap behind Switch. They even got Ys VIII running on Vita. It was a crap version and had tons of framerate issues, but the fact they got it running at all on that system is a testament to their skill vs whatever studios they've been contracting for Switch ports.
Lawd have mercy. If you're a frequent customer of Limited Run, you may want to check your email. I think I might be receiving half a dozen games (three separate orders) from them today. Assuming everything arrives as anticipated, the weekend could result in some biblical-quality gaming.
@Grumblevolcano I got excited for a second there, thinking they'd either announced a port of the reboot trilogy, or even some of the cleric titles T_T.
Not sure I'm interested in these spin-off titles unfortunately.
Nintendo is starting to do the Mario kart dlc spotlights again, just popped up on my news feed. I’m pretty sure we all know what that means. Once the spotlights end, we get a Twitter announcement.
@TheBigBlue It'll be interesting to see at what pacing it's done for US, Europe did 1 a week with today being the 6th track (DS Mario Circuit) so the last track will be on June 30th.
It's cool that they're bringing over Fire Emblem to NSO's GBA catalog, but it's been some time since Nintendo added a game to the N64 lineup. I kinda want to play Mario Party 3 online.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
Hey, I wanted to see if anyone could help me out with a problem we recently discovered. We have a family account for NSO and all of our different accounts on the Switch (there are four of us). I am the primary account. We also have Animal Crossing: New Horizons in which we all live on our island with our own characters from our own accounts. I recently purchased a new Switch OLED and transferred my account to it and made it primary, but kept the old one for the kids to play on. Today my daughter tried to get on Animal Crossing and it said her account is not able to play it. My account is still on the old Switch, too, and I am able to get on Animal Crossing on my account, but nobody else is. Does anyone know a solution for my family can still play it on their own accounts on the old Switch? Thanks.
