My launch day Switch is rocking a full atomic purple shell swap and has had some thermal mods done but has never had any issues not relating to Joycon drift.
@Ventilator unfortunately that's not entirely true, I've been unable to download any game patches or Void Bastards (newly purchased) over either WiFi or the wired adapter connected to my dock and nothing seems to make any difference at all...
Just play Skyrim, you'll have an infinitely more enjoyable experience with it than you will with Blades plus you won't need a constant Internet connection...
And I say this as someone who has tried (and failed) to properly get into Skyrim on 4 different systems now.
Everyone on the fence about this game should jump down and pick it up, it's super fun for very little money... I'd go so far as to say its one of the best "pocket money" games I've played in ages!
I seriously cannot wait for this game to release, I am a massive Zelda nerd and a huge fan of rhythm games (especially the original Crypt Of The Necrodancer)!
I highly recommend this to anyone who hasn't already played it on another platform, it really is an incredible game centered around a creative and unusual gimmick.
Once again there is a large discount listed for Plague Road but the eShop states that the discount is only valid for owners of certain other games from the same developer...
@nintendolie I actually wouldn't say the gameplay is all that luck based, with the right builds/decks you can force additional card draws and play extra cards each turn which pretty much negates the element of luck.
This is absolutely a day 1 purchase for me, Zelda is one of my favourite game franchises and I absolutely love Necrodancer so I am super hyped for this game!
I don't think for a moment that Goldeneye would have been the cultural phenomenon that it ended up being if the development team had stuck with the "on-rails" format.
@RupeeClock I have a yoyo called the x3 Steamroller which has very sharp rims and it is honestly just as dangerous to the user as it would be to anyone else if you tried to use it as a weapon 😂
@OorWullie if you look at the pictures on the Amazon listing they show the stand/game storage flap has been lifted up to accommodate the back of the dock.
If it wasn't for the fear of the new Switch models being too good to resist I would totally be down for trying out this case but it might be obsolete before the year is over so... Maybe not :/
I hope they do an SKU that is just the tablet portion of the Switch without anything else so owners of the current hardware can essentially just do a "modular" upgrade...
@Spoony_Tech I have 2 MH tattoos, I've played roughly 5000 hours across the series, MH is easily my favourite game franchise ever and even I hate those bloody underwater hunts!
@hihelloitsme I actually have the standard version of this stand and I use it daily to play Mario Kart or Smash in tabletop mode with colleagues at work when I'm on my lunchbreak

Re: Switch Error Code 2123-1502 - Users Still Waiting On Fix For Update 12.0.3 Issues
This has been a thorn in my side for a week now and it's starting to get irritating... Proof that too much stability is a bad thing?...
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think The "Switch Pro" Will Actually Be Called?

Re: The Elder Scrolls: Blades Gets Reconfirmed For Switch, Launches This Spring
Just play Skyrim, you'll have an infinitely more enjoyable experience with it than you will with Blades plus you won't need a constant Internet connection...

Re: Feature: The Best Three Pokémon Starters From All Gens, As Voted By You

Re: Video: Oh Boy, Sonic's Movie Redesign Is Revealed In Brand New Trailer
I hate this roughly 1000% less than I hated the original trailer!
Re: What Do You Get If You Mix Rocket League And Tony Hawk? REKT!, Apparently
Just bought this and the discount is more than 50% (don't know if that's a mistake or not) as it only cost me £1.79...
Re: Mysterious Roguelike Dungeon Crawler Mistover Creeps Onto Switch Later Today
I get really strong Darkest Dungeon vibes from that trailer... And the gameplay description too...

@tech7 I want to know this too, the only thing I don't like about my SF30 Pro is that it can't turn my Switch on...
Re: Forager Gets A Switch Retail Release In North America And Europe This September
@PhilKenSebben awesome stuff! I do love it when a game I'm looking forward to doesn't have a hefty Switch tax applied to it
Re: Forager Gets A Switch Retail Release In North America And Europe This September
@PhilKenSebben I'll definitely be grabbing this digitally for this exact reason! Do we have any idea what the eShop price is going to be?

Re: Cadence Of Hyrule Listing Appears On The European Switch eShop
This is absolutely a day 1 purchase for me, Zelda is one of my favourite game franchises and I absolutely love Necrodancer so I am super hyped for this game!
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd May (Europe)
I was gonna grab Plague Road and Castle of Heart at those prices but neither of them is showing a discount on the eShop :/
Edit: According to the eshop listing for Plague Road the 92% discount only applies if you already own Mecho Wars: Desert Ashes or War Theatre.
There's nothing to explain why the 90% discount for Castle of Heart isn't showing up though.
