I'm one of those old fashioned people that won't upgrade my tv until the old one breaks, so ill be sticking with my 1080p Panasonic ST60, 13 years old and still going strong.
Got one from Smyths, one from Shopto (paid upfront) and one from Nintendo yesterday. Probably going to cancel the Smyths order as I only need 2 for my Daughters and will wait for the inevitable OLED version for myself, my Sons are content with the Switch 1 for now, thank goodness!
I'm very happy they've finally added this, especially for playing them on the go, but I think for me a softmodded Wii U is still king. Playing LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and Rogue Squadron 2 with the controller adaptor and original controllers is just perfect, and a lot cheaper.
I gave my 3 kids their choice of game console, they all chose the Switch. I already have my own Switch, Series X and PS5, so they could still play games on those other systems if they wanted. But they prefer the Switch, therefore we own about 10 times more Switch games than PlayStation and XBOX. Switch is most definitely a competitor to Sony & Microsoft.
@Chaotic_Neutral I think you may be confusing the Drive Pass content (which includes Biomes and Cars) with the in-game microtransactions, which are separate and require "coins" bought with real money to purchase in game. You get 500 of these "coins" in the more expensive versions of the game and currently no one is sure what these items are, as 2k deliberately kept testers/youtubers from accessing the in game shop (unkies emporium). You also earn a different in-game currency for unlockables, but it's not yet clear whether the items purchased with "coins" can also be unlocked through gameplay. Imo this is essential information 2k really need to make clear before the game launches.
@Chaotic_Neutral No other LEGO game on consoles has microtransactions. DLC levels and character packs clearly showing what is included and that regularly go on sale, yes. But not pay-to-win or loot box systems built into the games.
The best Doctor Who game ever, by far is LEGO Dimensions and its pack dedicated to the franchise. One of the creators behind that, Stephen Sharples, is currently working on an old school style point-and-click adventure game, and it looks excellent.

Re: Crash And Spyro Dev Wants To Partner With Team Xbox For A Crack At Banjo
We need a new Skylanders game from Toys for Bob first please, or a remaster of the older games without the requirement for the physical toys.
