Now.... a friend let his youngest try A/C first, not knowing the ‘one island’ rule.... now that child’s character is the resident representative and as he’s got quickly bored (too young) he’s not playing, therefore holding others back - before I get really grumpy about the fact that only ‘player 1’ gets the full joy of the game (naming island / opening challenges) surely they haven’t been daft enough to lock this down aswell?????
hive mind - from an A/C newbie.... Will all the fish / bugs cycle through the Northern hemisphere?? I've never seen a piranha in European waters!! or do we have to share friend codes with people 'down under'? Thanks lovely NL peeps
I bought the Lite in a deal at Curry's in the UK, £199.99 including Link's Awakening... and then sold the Lite in my office for £190
I was tempted to keep the Lite for the train.... but just couldn't justify it, and I love being able to take the joy cons off. Still £10 for Zelda - get in!
Amazon are removing Prime video support from the Wii U soon.... which I was using as my method of streaming, does this... could this finally mean.... PrimeVideo on Switch ????
Day one purchase - loved Wolf II - love the support they've given the Switch... Love playing games of this quality on the move, makes my commute flllllyyyy by
@Jokerwolf i've only played handheld - but i struggle with the size of the images of the strength / weaknesses - so i'm kinda guessing. Should i be looking deeper into the 'lore'?
@Yosheel @joker13z remember.... you can make a UK account and use it to download via the Euro eShop.... you just need to add funds using a credit card or buy a £ eShop card from a website. I have a US / Jap and UK account on my switch for just such purposes....
as a school governor... money is tight, so i don't advocate schools buying Labo to use, but if it was made available i'd love it to come to my kids school. Anything that stimulates kids brains and gets them interested in "why/how" is great in my book. As for not using Branded equipment... sadly long beyond that. Apple ipads anyone??
worked fine in WC and career mode so far....... i really liked the graphics / stadium / commentary.... but feel they could have at least recorded the name of each competing country. feels a bit weak when its a "throw in to .... the other team"
I don't see much detail in the review about handheld / on the go co-op... i'm guessing i can't play this on a bus pause to go underground and then restart when i come up above ground? For me the whole beauty of the switch is portableplay / pause'n'restart... is this game only good for long period play in a fixed location with mates on a fast broadband?? Ie... should i just buy on a different system?
@JaxonH i've only had one graphical slow down with Doom... but loads of Sound issues. have you found any work arounds? techniques to help with the sound?
@penfold007 yes... i've spent more on games for the Switch in 10months than i'd spent in the lifetime of any other console... I have had to ebay a few i'd completed to keep up!
For me, as a life long Ninty man... the most magic has been the 'non Nintendo' titles coming over. I am LOVING Doom... to have this full experience on portable... Skyrim - my first experience of it... wow
Zelda, Mario, Rabbids, MK8, Fifa.... plus loads of eShop purchases
I also love the way i can easily set the parental controls so my kids can only access games suitable for their ages - perfect
@shani i've never played skyrim/doom/noire... because i didn't have time at home, but now i can play them on my commute instead of iphone games and OMG my life is so much more fun, and my commute feels like 10mins rather than 1+hrs! but thats just me. Portability is king for me
@Randomlight i ended up cancelling my pre-order with amazon as it was delayed, and I found a copy in Sainsbury's on Saturday - so i rewarded them stocking Ninty again by giving them my hard earned ££
gutted Amazon didn't have enough stock to delivery mine today... even though i pre-ordered in September! saying Monday... fingers crossed, very excited
@geox30 can't recommend Noire... can offer a 'hardly used' copy for sale!
sadly Noire is a beautiful, but joyless version of GTA
@Bod2019 while you wait for a 'real' review... i've played the first 20% or so... and been totally underwhelmed. Looks lovely - character models great / world view / map... but its just a dull game. Think GTA but remove the fun... it takes itself far too seriously. The driving is dull, the 'side quests' are so spread out on the map you want to give up before you get there. The questioning is multiple choice and i seem to be relying on guess work rather than logic to go good / bad cop...
The main character (thus far admittedly) is so straight down the line you just want to drive him to a bar and get him drunk!
now all i want (having got 120 shrines and a fair few kurok seeds) is the eshop releases of Ocarina and MM.... as i've never owned them. Come on Ninty - i've got money in my pocket - answer my call
just picked up a copy from Argos as they had it in stock - whereas Amazon was not getting stock back till 9th Oct.
had a great fun game in the office with a colleague - i was really worried about playing on the small screen.... was fine, and with joy-cons. We put the sliders on the joy-cons at half time and that improved access to the shoulder buttons.
first FIFA purchase in my life... was a PES/ISS man on Gamecube
@gordjscott I just added funds.... via linked paypal.... and its taken full £20 out of my account
there was nothing i wanted to buy... so i added funds
my balance isn't showing as £25 now...
confusion reigns
EDIT - although PayPal said I'd paid £20 to Nintendo when I checked deeper into my PayPal account I'd only been charged £15, whoop whoop!!
@Wichtel interesting .... i restarted my first game save as i opened all the bonus content worlds and just got totally lost. maybe i'll reopen it and try your streamlined approach.
its things like 'innocents' that confuse me.... and squads... i am but a simple lad. Really liking I am Setsuna - thats got options, but limited enough!

Re: Talking Point: The Case for Super Mario Odyssey as the Greatest Mario Game

Re: FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch Accounts for a Tiny Percentage of UK Launch Sales
