Very much going to wait and see. I told my self no as I just felt BURNED by scarlet and violet. That was the first Pokémon game I didn’t even finish. I’m on the fence for this one. Waiting to see what my mate thinks first
This is a really good question. With the switch I went months without buying new games. With the switch 2, I’ve decided to lean in and I’ve been LOVING all the new games, despite not having loads of time. I’ve also discovered all the amazing indies out there! In summary, I’m buying too many games atm 😅
For £20, I’m tempted to buy it just to support the scene! Haven’t filled vibes with hollow night yet. The jumping felt off and I didn’t vibe with it… yet.
I’ve sent the link to my wife… Christmas present hopefully sorted! Once someone makes a how to guide for turning this into a useable gameboy, I’ll be modding immediately 😂
@CJD87 I have the dock, I bought it for travel a few weeks ago. Very intrigued by the bag now - especially as I’ve just got off a plane! Thanks for the tip!
Making roms of current gen’s is just silly, of course it will be shut down. Pirates gonna pirate I guess, but gotta pay the price? Or walk the plank? Er I think I’ve gone off topic. Anyway - yeah makes sense!
I went in hoping to be convinced, and instead opted for the joycon charging holder instead. Half the price, means I get to use the joy cons, and get the little G buttons too. I only got a pro controller in the last year - and I love it. No need to upgrade… YET!
Does it give anyone notifications? I selected yes but it never pings me. If it pinged me every day I would look - it’s one of the only apps I would actually like notifications for…
Pre-ordered. I want to re-live the switch 1 launch. Be blown away by the visuals in Botw, jump in for some hardcore racing with FAST - this time we get some new Mario kart goodness to go along with it. Also F-zero for good vibes on the side. If anything my worry is that I won’t have time to play everything!!
Can I vote for 1080 avalanche three times?? GIVE ME SNOWBOARDING PLEASE. EA once said they would bring steep to switch… 7 years later and I’m still pining.
The trailer made me hype. It looks huge. It’s taken 10 years to make. So many unanswered questions. Kinda wish there was a story mode - but all the options and the single player objectives etc have made me very excited
Can someone explain to me how gameplay works? Is it turn based combat or a different combat system? It looks really interesting so think I just need to throw myself in.
Cindaquil was always my fav. Totodile second, chikorita was third - but still a goodie. I’m happy with the starters, and I’ll go for either of the Gen 2 mons!

Re: Rumour: Sony Is Gunning For The Switch 2 With A Handheld, Dockable PS6
While I wouldn’t buy one, and back the switch all the way. Competition breeds innovation! Not a band thing.

@CJD87 I have the dock, I bought it for travel a few weeks ago. Very intrigued by the bag now - especially as I’ve just got off a plane! Thanks for the tip!
Re: Review: ANTANK S3 MAX TV Dock Station For Nintendo Switch 2 - A Decent Little Travel Dock

Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Cases To Carry And Protect Your Console
@Broch83 I’m an idiot, they are just in a much better place for this iteration. Ignore me. ANYWAY!
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Cases To Carry And Protect Your Console
@Broch83 is that in the individual slot options, or the loose pouch bit?
Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2 Cases To Carry And Protect Your Console
One thing to note, the new official case doesn’t have slots to hold games like the Switch 1, Lite and OLED versions. Digital options only apparently…
EDIT: IGNORE ME I CANT USE MY EYES APPARENTLY

Re: Review: Star Overdrive (Switch) - Uneven But Ambitious Open-World Hoverboarding
Would you recommend this to scratch my 1080 / SSX itch? I just wanna cruise around - and based on the review, maybe this will satiate that urge!
