I've been hopping in & out of Ultrawings Flat, Spintyres and Stardew. Downloading Warface to see if it's any good and explore the paywall. I will recommend Goblins Sword? Extremely polished and charming retro platformer. I love my Switch, hands down the most fun console I've had in my gaming collection.
I've been switching between Stardew and Cities Skylines. Finally figured out (after much Youtube), that you play Cities as a traffic management system first - BEFORE you start going sim city.
@Roam85 agreed, sheer ignorance and not a definitive list. To be honest, the Switch has not been blessed with many contemporary or simulated sports games. Most are either arcade or abstract games. I wish there was more licensed games or sport capable indie dev's.
Pro Controller all the way. I did buy my Switch with the neon ones. Both developed drift after a year of careful use. Over Xmas took my switch to work and encountered joycons again from a colleagues machine. While his controllers had no drift - they felt alien, fragile and imprecise for any length of gaming. Unless there's a revised design (drift fix), can't see myself wasting another £70 again.
These market people know NOTHING about video games. Their predictions are half based on bullsh*t and half based on people moving shares so that brokers can earn fees.
Continuing Stardew Valley to explore the new updates. Rush Rally which is an extremely good budget racer. City Skylines, figuring out traffic management.
Apart from HD rumble, I've got no regrets in shelving my joycons. Until there is an updated model, no way is Nintendo getting another £70 for the same BS problem again.
I've started a new farm in Stardew Valley to explore the new update, and also because it's my most played game - 280+ hours. Otherwise, City Skylines has satisfied my city simming needs - picked it up after an irresistible sale price.
Simply put, NSO is offering an antique service for reasonable money. I barely play any of the free games. I had way more online fun with my PS3 back in the day. The only benefit that I appreciate is cloud saves, otherwise it's meh.
I've stopped using Joycon's for a long time now. Both my Joycon's developed stick drift. Instead of spending £70 on replacing them, I bought a Pro Controller instead. Until they treat UK Nintendo users the same as US and offer replacement or repair - why should I buy another pair of faulty controllers?
@Priceless_Spork American retail analysts. The data is based on US sales not anywhere else. Despite the mention in the article and the tags within the article page - I think the title is misleading and should clearly state what region it covers.
@99x Same, the Steam version looks a lot smoother with some cool effects. Will wait for a sale as I'd otherwise regret paying full price for this. Pity.
I've been distracted with Event Horizon which though simple has some epic battles and upgrade systems. That and looking to try out Stardew 1.4. Merry Xmas everyone!
I just earned my last gym badge. Will be exploring Swynton? And experimenting with supplements. Other than that, pinball fx3 and some Neo Geo Turf Masters.
Well... I took the dive and traded in New Super Mario Bros. U for Pokemon Sword. Never played a Pokemon before. I think it will be an interesting weekend!

Is this localised?
Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Switch Online Good Value Compared To PlayStation Plus And Xbox Live Gold?
Nintendo Online is bare basic pants. Nintendo can't even commit to regular ancient free monthly? Games. Cheap, yes - value? Little.
Re: Catherine: Full Body And XCOM 2 Collection Rated For The Nintendo Switch In South Korea
XCOM on a Nintendo machine is quite something. One of the greatest squad games ever made.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 15th)
Picked up Ultrawings Flat and enjoying it for what it is. ***AVOID SPEEDWAY RACING*** SwitchedOn (Youtube), revealed the appalling POS that it is.
Re: Tickets Please, Switch Is Getting A New A-Train Entry

Akuto Showdown has taken over NL. BIG SOB picture after every paragraph. Never seen a website so dominated.

Re: Random: This Fake Nintendo Switch Comes With 800 Games, But You Won't Want It For Christmas
I've seen better UFO footage than this. Probably filmed with a King Edward or Cypress potatoe.

Re: Review: Demon's Tilt - A Worthy Successor To Devil's Crush
Devils Crush was one of my all time fave games and (years later), got me into virtual pinballing.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Switch's NES And SNES Library Gets Six New Games Today
Super Punch Out is good. Rest is meh.

Deffinately interested!
Re: Monster Boy Sold More Copies On Switch Last Week "Than The Entire 5 Months Before That"
Maybe it's the markets way of saying something.
Re: Play Together As A Squad In Tetris 99's New Team Battle Mode Update
Good game, but extremely brutal with the way you get targeted.
Re: PAYDAY 2 On Switch "Very Unlikely" To Receive Any Of The New Updates
Played it on the PS3 back in the day, was not very impressed.

Re: Gallery: Here's A Wee Look At Wargroove's Delightful Deluxe Edition
@SwitchForce physical games still need patches. Physical costs more and if it's not a regular shop item, you're looking at a long wait.
Re: Hamster Is Bringing Konami's Hyper Sports To The Switch eShop Next Week
Will get both. I loved Track & Field, nostalgia for me. There are FAR too many pixel games on the Switch. Some are classic, some not.
Re: Video: Check Out Darksiders Genesis' New Creature Core System
Nice audio for the weapon discharges.
