@fozzyrock1986 I was wondering the exact same thing, crazy

@Boxmonkey you won't regret it

@Teksetter me too. My 20 yr old stands laughing at me when he catches me playing docked. I can't even beat hornet

It comes as a welcome relief that nothing is dragging me further into back log hell here

@Prizm class!! With the 100s of games available, what right minded person would want to buy this, especially as it's on the nes app

I really don't think nintendo can alienate the millions of current owners by bringing out a device that runs games the original can't although a resolution bump and quicker loading, extra memory etc would obviously be welcomed. Id like a screen that could be played outdoors, id buy that tomorrow. A mini with non detachable joy cons for 200 quid seems more likely for now. As someone who travels abroad with work, I'd bite your hand off for a mobile smaller dock as well

I'm away in York this weekend in my motorhome, switch in tow obviously. The super weather in England might make switch play difficult, DAMN YOU SCREEN IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT

@frogopus great post. I agree completely. If nintendo have any sense they will nurture this idea (carefully) but could boost their output of games, with beloved ip's, whilst also harnessing fresh ideas and direction

@Mamabear today my pallette cleanser has been mk8 coin battle with my daughter, ding ding xl and tumblestone and guiding her through epic mickey2 on wii. The rest of my game time was spent trying to complete boss battles on bayonetta and HK which amounted to nothing

@Mamabear prepare for Celeste to raise your anger lol. I actually hit myself in frustration today playing hollow night

I've got myself into a corner this weekend. I've got to a point where I'm stuck on boss battles on bayonetta, hollow knight, Zelda, axiom verge, perm stuck on the gungeon bosses and dark souls

@SterlingEyes i don't know what I was thinking.

I've been getting brutalized by the insanely difficult Celeste which I picked up this week and taking respite from that with hollow knight 😏

Surely the fact that it's streaming service means it's not suited to switches portable nature. If your in the park or on a bus you're unlikely to be on a high quality internet connection

I know someone called Doug cooper, different spelling and a not even the same side of the world but I've got a smile on my face he won't understand

Yeah thanks nintendo, celestes now the 65th title to appear on my homescreen

To be honest, I travel a fair bit with work and I would have been much more excited if this had just been the Netflix app

@akennelley1 I loved my mega drive or genesis in us and also my Saturn and when i saw this I was excited at frst but I thought It looked a bit pedestrian

I bought this as my ps4 purchase game on launch and loved it, stuck 150 hrs into it. Anyone who thinks down rezzing the graphics is going to spoil it are crazy. I bought it day 1 and my horse was running about with only it's neck showing above ground level and some of the cut scene errors were hilarious. People need to chill. It's not going to look like undertale FFS

@Bizzyb you're right, I need to start chipping away at my backlog an hr here and an hr there , I'm on it

Was that having a good scout around? I'm one of these who likes to have faff about. I'll definitely pick it up at some point

I've just bought undertale, ding ding xl, Rayman legends and mario + rabbids with £40 of my bonus ball winnings from my secret stash

@Blister that's a great idea, I think they recommended playing that 1st anyway

@sandman89 I get easily distracted, I managed 115 hrs on Zelda before getting to the 2nd divine beast 😀

I've been on the verge of buying this since it came out but I simply don't know where I would find 200+hrs to play it

Good luck zion, look forward to more videos, I too was worried Alex had left

@BenAV yeah I ended buying a couple of others in front of it, I'm sure it will be back on sale again soon

I'm waiting for this to be in a decent sale then I'll add to my list of games I'll never see the credits to

@Ooyah 900 hrs is mighty impressive

I'm happy with what we've got in mk8 although I'd welcome DLC, rabbids in their nintendo form would be cool. There's so many other ips to go out on switch I don't see the point in developing another kart just yet

@DABYX I've become addicted to buying games in the weekly sales 😆 I've got games I forgot I'd even downloaded

Could someone explain or tell me where to find a decent explanation of spirit mode, I just don't get it

How on earth are we meant to find the time to play all these top games, it's not like they're 8 hrs each. I think I'll still be playing my backlog in 15yrs time

My backlog is about to get bigger. I noticed 2 games on the home screen Id forgot I even bought last night but I can't help myself

Nice article. Could anyone recommend a reliable, portable 3rd party dock please? I live in UK but travel abroad with work a fair bit. It's not practical to ferry the brick that comes with the switch as it's bad enough having to put a MacBook, switch and 2 phones along with all the cables that go with them through airport security. I also regularly fancy playing on my bedroom tv too but there's no way I'm untangling the absolute nightmare of wires behind the tv everytime

Skyrim and beer for me today. Lots of both

@nofriendo I still have uridium which this is based on in my loft for the zx spectrum on cassette. Yes, I'm old

@SuperCharlie78 150hrs is a good effort! I'm nowhere near that on ETG but I'm gonna stick with it

I've just downloaded hyper sentinel for 90pence which is totally ridiculous. I instantly recognised it as uridium from my spectrum days and it's superb. Also picked up gun man Clive hd and will continue to grapple with trying to master enter the gungeons twin stick boss hell

@Dromosus ha ha I too feel your pain

I'm away motorhoming in the English lake district this week. I love the great out doors but unfortunately my switch screen doesn't. My absolute number 1 improvement on a new model would be to have a screen that could be viewed in direct sunlight. My daughter can watch netflix on iphone and tge missus reads endlessly on kindle. Anyway when I'm indoors I'll likely be looking at my switch menu wondering which of the 40 odd downloads to play and probably not be able to decide

Gta this ain't, but I'm going all in for this. Switchs library and nintendos reputation as not just for kids keeps going from strength to strength

I have to wonder how realistic this will be. My cat pikachu for instance looks really cute, but if he doesn't get what he wants, he'll have no hesitation attaching himself, via his teeth, to a limb or worse still on a night my face. I bet this would liven the game up no end

I'm inching my way through doom in unconvincing fashion.

Nearly all replay footage

@Dayton311 nice to hear I'm not the only one with a crazy backlog of unstarted games

Any chance of porting trilogy to keep us going

@austin_voigt ha ha class!!

@zool sounds like me. I bought 6 games in 10 days in the eshop sale and got smash, Skyrim and dark souls for Christmas.

I keep picking my switch up, looking at all the games on my dashboard and in my case and switching it off again because I don't know where to start! Then I'll start reading about switch games and looking for more bargains. Im driving myself mad with it. Am I the only one who does this?
