Jables Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I'm so glad to be at the point where there's more games than I have money for. Add to that, I've no shame pile(unfinished games) at current and now I can sink another 100+ hours into Skyrim guilt-free. The portability has been the gamechanger for me. I moved my awesome TV into the lounge room and dissembled my personal space so my console time has been non-existent since the beginning of the year. I carry the switch with me everywhere even though for the first four months of ownership it was in a beanie because switch carry cases go from being dirt cheap and functional as hell to wildly expensive and esoteric. And guess which ones were near impossible to get for a while. Additionally when the stars align and I get the TV to myself, it looks so damned pretty. I don't dig the pro controller because it's generic but love the joycons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 nice - yeah bishop has the pro and the builds nice (rumble is good as well) but I need a sale or a bundled game or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 What I'm super keen to do is get my hands on a Wiiu/gamecube adaptor thingie so I can hookup my Wavebird. Because I'm quietly confident that will be my absolute favourite Switch controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Id be using my GC controller alot more, however there is a small problem of it having less buttons. Though I bet it feels great for stuff like Shovel Knight and I know its awesome on Mario Kart. I'm guessing its real inclusion is foreshadowing a new Smash and/or GC classics.

Little Nemo McFly Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/hulu-switch NINTENDO ADDS 'HULU' TO SWITCH...AND IT'S AVAILABLE NOW. I ain't gotz the Hoolooz - but when Netflix and the web is all eventually added...not gonna be go-to method for tv-streaming. My Wii U is currently my Netflix n' youtube vid streaming device. For those who take this on-the-go - hey, bigger screen than a smartphone. I wanna see reports on how much juice 'streaming' sucks up compared to a full game session - plus, the space all the eventual streaming services (Netflix) will take up. I already own a tablet gotten on the super cheap (along w/ that Chromecast device - you plug into your tv) that's totally dedicated to streaming in my bedroom (that room's tv isn't hooked up to the Wii U). Looking like Switch's portability is gonna get a whole lot sexier pretty soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Acch so keen to get a streaming service or even the ability to read files off of Micro SD, for this thing. That being said I know JP is mostly about portable wifi, are you yanks on that yet or would this be an exercise in skipping between hotspots or using phone data? That's how it is here and data isn't cheap enough to just stream at will(yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 yeah i dunno, at least here in MIA we're not yet at a point where there's a lot of good public wifi hotspots that i know of, and years back our bigger phone companies locked down tethering your tablet to your phone's data plan (as far as i understood, don't think that's changed much) without paying for another device/etc so i'm assuming it'd be the same here. i clearly haven't looked into it much yet for lack of playing online but by the time Smash/Animal Crossing etc show up i figure i'll know more.

Little Nemo McFly Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Still a waaays to go. The Switch is going to explode in Sept. if Smash is that online 'launch' title...even if just a port. (I'd prefer an all-new Smash on Switch. Hyrule Warriors Online would've been great...but, hey.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 geez, guess that's the virtual console (assuming that's still a thing?) holdup too? but yeah, smash and whatever splatoon does next will likely bring a lotta subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Everyone should pick up Golf Story if it's going cheap on the marketplace. It's adorable and a pretty well-put together golf RPG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 damn, i totally forgot about that one - it's on the list! wanted to check out that & stardew valley, kept hearing good about both but fuck me if a golf RPG isn't a little intriguing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Man there is so damned much under the hood of Stardew Valley it's a little off-putting at the change of seasons. See what the price on the store is at the moment(for GS) because the E-shop has some crazy deals going. It's ocker AF and has some genuine depth to the gameplay.

Iambaytor Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Wait wait wait, somebody actually made the golf RPG from Steven Universe a reality? Does the real version have a windmill boss?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jables Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I just googled Steven Universe and don't believe there is a connection. They could have jacked the idea though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The way Nintendo puts out digital content followed by more expensive cartridges has toyed with my emotions enough. I've previously been all about that shelf of games but convenience and price point have swayed me to primarily digital collecting. I have a decent memory card and still intend to buy bigger games on cart because retailers are more competitive on price, and something like say doom would take up too much real estate on my sd card, but I'm done agonising over buying smaller titles and worrying whether they're going to get a cart release later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jables Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Well Labo is pretty great. The cardboard is thin and not very durable, but the construction is all double folding and interlocking so the final product can take a licking(my kid has been hammering the piano and when she's not doing that, she's fishing). The fishing game especially is very tactile and the sorta thing I could see myself pulling out at least once a month. The instructions are clear but slow(it took me a minute to figure out how to speed it up) and the software is deceptively rich. I don't know that I'll go in on the robot kit as intended because I don't know that the quality build of small items in the variety pack would translate to the box and string setup. If anyone's interested I can put up some pics of the construction process as well as my kid quality testing the final products. Side note : aside from a brief interest in Odessy a couple of weeks ago, this is the first game she's gone all in on. I've waited so long for this(my kid gaming) and couldn't be happier of prouder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this works I'll throw up a couple of videos of us stress testing the piano and fishing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
