I’ve got my GameBoy Color, GBA SP, DS, 2 x 3DS and me Switch. I used to have a GameBoy, GBA and an other DS (RIP comrades). The Pokémon 3DS I have goes for over $1000 on eBay. 😲
@DarkScythe13
I’d never heard of the games having a problem until I read about it yesterday. I bought mine in the UK though so maybe it depends on region? 🤷🏻♂️
@DarkScythe13
It sounds like you’ve bought a fake cartridge as this is the common issue with them. Check some YouTube videos that’ll show you what to look for.
The batteries for my Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold and Crystal have all run out. Better check my GBA ones too. Thankfully I’ve long since transferred any rare/favourite Pokémon onto the subsequent games.
I LOVE my mini classics! My precious. A lot of games truly shine when using the original controller. Being able to save anywhere is a game (!) changer. Also, hackable, so I’ve got GBA and Mega Drive games on mine too.
They’re holding back on legendary/shiny distributions, I notice. By the this point we’d have got like the new Regi’s, shiny, through EB Games. Guess they don’t want us to get used to just downloading them and not having to trek out the shops.
@Andy_Witmyer The SNES, GameBoy, DS and Wii were huge in the UK but I’m not sure how that translated into the sales charts though. But definitely great to see Switch games riding high. 🥳
I’m not clear on what Xbox live or Gamepass actually is. Do you get to download and ‘keep’ the games like on PS+? Is it available in every region? How many games are there? Is KOTOR one of em?
A role call of many of my favourite games there. All of the Pokémon ones, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun, The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.
I also play GBA games on my DS and with my flash card: ZX Spectrum, Amstrad, NES, SNES, Mega Drive and GameBoy.
@Razer I always think I should do this but never actually get around to doing it. If I’d bought three of every LEGO set I’d basically be getting free LEGO by now.
@Smigit Sites like Blizzard Watch are saying positive things. It’d be pretty impressive if they have a hit on thier hands after that disastrous unveiling.
Playing Diablo II, maybe I’ll be able to import my Paladin onto Switch later. And, Baldur’s Gate 2. Had to restart because I messed up an NPC quest chain and the Switch version only has a few save spaces.

It’s also gonna be more powerfully than the PS5. But the PS5 will have better games.

Re: Iconic Action-RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Isn't Out Today On Nintendo Switch After All
@OorWullie
Baldur’s Gate I&II are masterpieces. Can’t recommend enough. I could never get into DA however. Anyway, my two cents. ☺️
Re: Thanks To Switch, Nintendo Has Now Sold Over Half A Billion Handheld Consoles
I’m responsible for 8 of these purchases. 🥇

Edit: I’m incorrect cos 3DS games can’t be faked.

Re: Celebrate Star Wars Day With These Switch eShop Discounts
@echoplex
Definitely it’s a great game. It’s a port of the PC game with some minor upgrades.
Re: A True Pokémon Master Has Defied The Odds And Collected Every Shiny Pokémon
I usually get 2-3 per game so add in the give aways, wormholes, breeding, dens and Pokémon GO!
I’ve got a complete Gen 1-3, and I only need a couple more for both 4&5. 😁

Everybody else is wrong and Mega Man 5 is in fact the best in the series.

I couldn’t disagree more. A boost in sales means we’ll go through all this again and probably soon with Zelda.
Re: Fortnite Update Promises Boosted Resolution and Performance for Switch Players
