I bought mine for the Switch and it does give an improvement but whether it's worth the price I'm not so sure. It's more noticeable on something like Monster Hunter Rise than Mariokart so your mileage may vary.
I use mine mostly now with N64 and PS2 combined with a Retrotink 2x pro, this is where it really shines for me.
Still glad I've got it, but think price drop would make it more attractive.
@Yosher There is often some confusion over whether carving or capturing changes certain drops and I'm not sure what to believe any more. So now I only capture if I'm the host.
@Chris77 I wouldn't let the difficulty of the demo put you off. The main game single mode does let you get well established before giving you something as hard as that intermediate fight.
I fully understand how it doesn't click with everyone but if you can afford to risk it I highly recommend it.
Monster Hunter always throws a lot of info at you in the first hour or two, but I would say don't worry if everything doesn't make sense at first, a lot of it doesn't matter on the early levels and you will work it out as you go along.

Re: Nintendo's Strict Policy On MiG Carts Is Creating A Problem For Secondhand Switch 2 Buyers
@AllBLK I thought Sony at least used to ban the consoles. Has that changed?
Re: Nintendo's Strict Policy On MiG Carts Is Creating A Problem For Secondhand Switch 2 Buyers
On eBay at least it’s easy to refund as a faulty product, Gumtree and some other sites could be a pain

@Anti-Matter Sadly I think that boat has sailed. I think we're close to the end of physical games.

I wonder how much they save per cart VS what they lose for people who refuse to buy these?

Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate For Paper Mario: TTYD On Switch?
Action based games then 60 is a must, in this sort of RPG then 30 is OK. Kind of weird it's lower than the original

Re: Techland Is Reportedly Bringing Dying Light: Platinum Edition To Switch This October
@AG_Awesome The whole campaign is designed to play solo or with friends. It's not like a L4D style game at all other than there are zombies.
The drop in and drop out works ace too and is much more fun with friends.

One thing you can say about the Japanese games industry is they like to keep it simple.

@Neopolitan It always sold well in Japan but with World and Rise it seems to be reaching more of the world now.
Re: Video: The Problem With The Super Mario 3D All-Stars Release
Well I'm loving going back through them. I own the originals but it's a great excuse to play again and the freedom of handheld is perfect for me.
The limited thing is confusing so it will be interesting to see what happens, maybe they'll sell them separately or something.

Re: Poll: Is It Cool To Time Travel In Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
It would ruin my own enjoyment but if you want to time travel then it isn't going to worry me.
Same as cheats, not for me but as long as it doesn't mess with online stuff then it doesn't effect me.
Re: Random: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is "Dumb" And "For Children" Says Business Insider Column
