My question is if I buy one digital copy can 2 different users on different switches play at the same time Together? The wording is seeming to say no but my wife and I have played Splatoon, MK8, and Smash this way which is making me think maybe...

@jedikitty Nintendo online service is tied to the account user not the Switch itself. For example I have my Switch and online service so I can play online. My wife has a user account on my switch but cannot play online using her user since she doesn’t have the online service. I can play online on her new Switch that has my account linked since I have online service. She still has to buy the membership to play online. If you have 2 people who want to play online go with the family online service since it’s cheaper than buying 2 individual memberships.
In regards to local co-op if you’re playing on the same console you’re good with the one person having online service but if you’re playing in the same room on different Switches you will both need online service subscriptions to get play together.

@Pandagess 😂 Thanks for that! Probably the best comment I’ve had the pleasure of reading in awhile.

I’ll be continuing my Pokémon Shield adventure.. I’m having mixed feelings about it so it’s been a slow go for me. Also playing Wolfenstein The New Order on Xbox which is a blast. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

I’ll be playing mostly Pokémon Shield on Switch- it’s actually pretty good! Only have one badge so far though. Otherwise I’ve been playing the campaign in Star Wars Battlefront 2 on Xbox- so fun! I just completed the main story and gonna jump into the resurrection chapters.

I think if Switch Lite has shown anything it’s that “Switch” will still sell and sell well without the features associated with the main model- handheld/ home console, cutting down on how awesome the joy cons can be, cutting down on local multiplayer which is a huge marketing feature for Switch.

I think a”Switch Pro” will be another example of cutting back on the “Switch” experience. Probably by making it a docked only/ home only console. It’s smart in that all the software will work for it. It will still feature local multiplayer. Rather than developers trying to get a game running both docked and portably they could focus on a docked experience which would hopefully be more stable. Since the console isn’t portable it wouldn’t have to rely on WiFi which seems to cap internet speed and maybe offer a better online experience.

I suppose time will tell but it’ll be interesting to see what direction Nintendo takes. Either way Nintendo should take advantage of this time- they have got to have a great next 2 years before those new systems hit their strides and the gap widens too much that 3rd party support drops like a box of rocks.

I’m surprised that The Outer Worlds isn’t on this list.. Metroid and BOTW 2 will not be released this year- I would eat my sock in shock if it happened. Otherwise I cannot wait for some directs because this list is lackluster for me. Animal Crossing is good but I need something else in my life. Speaking of directs don’t we usually get one in January?

Missed this on gamepass but looks interesting. I may pick this up now

I’ve been wanting this game for awhile now so hopefully there will be a release date soon!

I see a giant reminder of all the games I’ve yet to try out!

My favorites this year for Switch are:
Wolfenstein Youngblood
Luigi’s Mansion
Katana Zero

Not in any particular order and there were other great games so it’s hard to choose.

@Majora101 I didn’t care for Chloe as a character until I played the “Before the Storm”. So yeah she’s totally a bad influence on Max.

Sadly my Switch has been not getting the attention I usually devote to it since I’ve been playing Xbox- if I’d known how much I’d love it I would have bought one sooner.

I recently opened up the Just Dance game I picked up during Black Friday sale to play with my almost 5 year old thinking it would be super fun to play together. She doesn’t like the dancing so much 😅but surprisingly my wife and I have been playing and the competition has been heating up. I can’t tell you how many times my kids have been smacked/ hip checked while running into our dancing space. Also that game is a workout!

I’m so excited for this! Day one for sure! Golf story was so much fun and this looks fantastic!

Might try this one out! Looks cool at least

I’m surprised at how charming I find this! Definitely will keep an eye out for this one!

Hooray! I enjoy these little directs!

@Tourer145 a beer advent calendar?! How awesome!

Started playing Life is Strange since it’s leaving Gamepass soon and wow! What a story! On the Switch front I’m hoping to make some headway in Witcher or I may continue puzzle packs in Piczle Lines DX

I’m on the last chapter in A Plague Tale Innocence so I’m trying to finish that amazing game! So good!

I’m trying to avoid buying anything on the eshop since I’ve picked up Just Dance 2020 (Switch) and a few Xbox games during Black Friday ( Borderlands 3, RDR2, plus a few downloads)... but I’ve been playing the demo for Puzzle Quest and now that it’s on sale... Does it actually count as a purchase if I have the gold coins for it? I think not..

I’ll be continuing A Plague Tale and hopefully get some more Witcher 3 in!

@dugan Have you played other Pokémon titles? I held off on picking up Shield because I was unsure of it but I’ve noticed that we’ve had similar Tastes in games. I thought the more recent 3ds Pokémon games had too much going on and too many Pokémon so I liked Pokémon Let’s Go since it kept it simpler.

I’ll still try this later down the road. Sounds interesting

I decided to fight King Boo in LM3 but I didn’t realize that I would be unable to go back and get more Boos and hidden things 😓

I just received my new Xbox so I’ve been playing Creature in the Well ( Gamepass!) and I’ll start A Plague Tale: Innocence.

On the Switch front I’ll be playing Piczle Lines (still) and probably start Cuphead since I’ve decided to wait on picking up Shield.

Canceled my Shield preorder... Going to wait since I have a large backlog and till reviews even out. Hope everyone enjoys their games though!

Luigi’s Mansion 3 still keeping me entertained!

I think Nintendo could have released a different bundle this holiday season- this is the same as last year at the same price I think. Including Smash or Mario Maker would have been better IMO. Heck if it’s the old model they should be including the online service at least.

@ImagineerNik I’m also looking at Xbox S this Black Friday- Costco and Sam’s Club have starter bundles( 3 mos game pass and 2 controllers) for $199. Kohl’s has the new Star Wars bundle for $199 plus $60 Kohl’s cash. It’ll be a wait and see if GameStop or Walmart have anything worthwhile. Definitely a good time to pick one up if you’re in the market.

I will be buying this day one- looks awesome!

These puzzles make me want the game even more! Damn you November with all these releases!

I’ll be playing Luigi’s Mansion 3 like everyone else it seems. I may also play some Piczle Lines DX because I started it back up this week waiting for LM3 and saw that I still have some puzzles left.. Such good value!

I probably would have waited for this if I’d known 😓

I’ve canceled my physical preorder and bought a digital copy since I now have 2 Switches in my house and we can share games. I haven’t booted it up yet but it looked awesome when my wife was playing.

My wife picked up a turquoise one about a week ago so we can play together! After holding hers I’m a tiny bit jealous because it’s so light and comfortable to hold- not too jealous because my orange and purple joy cons are simply awesome.

This sounds like a cool game. I’d like to try it eventually but may work on some of the games I already have first.

I’ve finished the story mode in Ori but discovered that I’m missing Blackroot Burrows and some collectibles- to go back and get them or move on that is the question. I can’t find the switches to unlock a lot of power ups are they deviously hidden?
I had Overwatch and Witcher preordered and still haven’t touched them since I haven’t had a lot of play time getting ready for vacation. I think I’ll wait on Witcher until I get back since I think it’s going to be more demanding.
So I think I’ll try out some Overwatch or play some Rocket League.
Happy gaming everyone!

@dugan Ori is much harder than I expected as well. I remember getting to the tree, finishing everything and getting to that epic escape sequence- Wow! What a difficulty increase! I’ve died well over 500 times by now.

I like the idea of the programmable buttons but ultimately I think I’ll stick with my Nintendo or controller since I spent a good amount on it lol

I wish this had a demo. I’ve never played this before or know what to expect and I’m sure there are a lot of others who feel the same way. While I’m intrigued by this I won’t be shelling out money for a game I’m on the fence about with so many games being released that are definite buys.

Can’t wait to play this tomorrow!

I may still try this out if a sale hits... The idea is just cool.

I will be continuing Ori this weekend! Really great game!

@dugan Tough Choice between Goose and Ori! I found the Goose game to be a perfect break between more complicated games. I thought some of the puzzles were tricky and it was just entertaining. I find Ori to be more complicated- not as aggravating as Celeste or Hollow Knight but the platforming is really tight and leaves little room for error the further I get which means I die. A lot lol. Still fantastic thought. I don’t think you can go wrong with either!

I’ve got the physical Witcher preordered- Amazon has it for $49 if anyone’s interested in a $10 discount. Really thinking about Overwatch... have the space and the eshop credit just haven’t pulled the trigger.
Also interested in Mable in the Woods and Little Town Hero but going to wait for some reviews/ spare time.

This game sounds neat. Despite the preorder discount I’ve already got a lot on my plate so I’ll be waiting on a review and time to play.

I am amazed that this game is only $15 on the eshop. It is worth far more than that! I may have to jump back in eventually and give these new updates a spin!

@AlexanderDaniels It reminds me a lot of the Harvest Moon on GameCube. Farming is a big aspect but there’s also other activities you can focus on- mining, fishing, being a busybody, fixing up the town, etc. I like the characters in SV more because there’s such a variety and I find them to be more relatable. If you haven’t tried it but enjoy games like Harvest Moon or even Animal Crossing I would recommend it- there’s a reason it’s on the bestselling list on eshop.

Fortnite is insanely addicting. I’m not sure why the parents would sue unless they’re upset their kids have spent far too much on vbucks without their knowledge 😅Seriously though.. all games have a serious potential to be very addicting.

@aVagabond IMO Xbox releasing an all digital Xbox one with only 1T onboard memory was a huge downgrade to their other offerings.

I hope habitat observation is part of the actual game 😆 If not it should be it’s own spinoff- a cross between Pokémon Snap and that video

I will be continuing Ori- Still early on in the game but it is stunning. I’ve still got a few challenges in Goose game ( I cannot get the old man’s hat! ) I’ve put Celeste on pause because of all the recent games I’ve been playing but I still hear it calling my name... Must die 500 more times for strawberries...
I’m trying to tie up some loose ends before Witcher.
