Scotty T Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hi All. Been going though tough Mental issues with 2+ year battle with my builder. Much so that I had to let go my Lawyer and take on the rest of the fight myself (can't afford $$$ they wanted). Looking after my mum with the passing of my dad a year a go, son recently breaking his humerous etc, nothing a holiday and a on the whim purchase of a Nintendo Switch can't but not help. Wow, all I can say I am massively impressed with this little unit. Already building up some games (currently only getting physical games) If anyone is hesitant in getting one, don't, the sheer fun of playing on the go, and then also hooking it up to your TV is great. I don't miss at all that the specs aren't up there with the PS4 or Xbox One. Heaps of games a accessories, (pity genuine accessories are not cheap) Anyone else have a Nintendo Switch!?

Frank_fjs Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 When it rains it pours, hey. Sorry to hear about your unfavourable run, hope things pick up. I haven't yet nabbed a Switch but it's on my wish list. Almost pounced as JBs had them for $379, but am waiting for the two new Switch releases to come out. They have a Pro version on the way and a stripped down light version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But got the Smash Brothers edition (was just over $400) I've read the rumours about the two new switches, but they are rumours nothing confirmed. Also read if they are real then they wouldn't be until near the end of year. Unless there's more info at hand? But like anything, there's always something better, so I was happy to get the Switch now Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It was only last November, that they implemented Youtube on the Switch. Brought this console, for my son in Dec 2017 and he predominantly plays Minecraft on it. We've got the WiiU and it's main title games, where we haven't invested on the rehash versions here - except for Super Smash Ultimate. Looking forward to Link's Awakening - which is the type of Zelda game i like playing. Hanging to play some old computer games - if they ever get released ie - Prince or Persia, Bubble Bobble and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. If you're after a cheap, fun, short game experience and don't mind basketball - try out NBA Playgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpudJones Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Like I mentioned in the other thread I've been playing Lode Runner Legacy in classic mode on the Switch this week and it's been great. Other than that, Zelda and Mario Kart have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nich2pat Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I have spent around 150-200 hours with Dead Cells. I highly recommend it :) Ordered this from EB for $36 and have been playing it since Thursday. To begin with a was annoyed with "No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go, or you try again" - but noticed going back to the start was different each time which makes you want to have another game. Still a lot of stuff to figure out but im only a few hours of play. Got the Nintendo Switch last weekend for my son but the only game he likes to play is Mario Kart. Any recommendations for games a 6 year old would like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations for games a 6 year old would like? Word of advice, stack purple and use traps and purple weapons. Once you get the hang of purple builds, you'll fly through the game. Infantry bow and nerves of steel were my two favourite weapons. Mario Odyssey would be great for a 6 year old, also Luigi's Mansion 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nich2pat Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Cheers Pat. I’ve got Mario Odyssey but he’s not getting it until Xmas. Might have to check out luigis mansion. It’s hard to find good deals on switch games. Even marketplace has them for crazy prices. Decent games for relatively cheap on the Nintendo store. I don’t mind not having the physical copy of the game anyway. Just got up to some dude called The Concierge and got destroyed very quickly. Haha.

nich2pat Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Can recommend Cuphead for Switch. Bought it from the Nintendo store for $30. Had it for about 4 days and have died over 900 times on it. Very hard game but one you want to keep playing over and over (hence so many deaths) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashman Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Bought a switch recently and loving it. It’s the first Nintendo console I’ve ever owned! My favourite games so far are. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Super Mario Odyssey Grid Autosport Crash Team Racing Seriously addicted to Donkey Kong Country. Have Wolfenstein II and LA Noire ready to get into as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty T Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm still playing Zelda BOTW. This game is so in depth, I'm loving it. I'm picking up physical games only. Also using Ring Fit Adventures, up the hardness, it's giving me a great workout, and I exercise a lot!

nich2pat Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I bought Zelda BOTW but am struggling to get into it. Maybe it is TOO in depth. The world you play in is so big. Got Mario Party and its pretty fun to play with the kids because they can actually understand what to do in the mini games etc. Also Super Mario Odyssey is good with kids as they can play as Cappy while you are Mario. Hard to find cheap physical copies of the games I have found. Even the second hand ones are close to the original price. Where does everyone source their Switch games from?

namastepat Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Yeah, there's very rarely cheap Switch games. Keep your eye on ozbargain and look for Switch deals. EB Games had Slay the Spire for $28 today, cracking deal. I generally buy my games from Amazon, they are usually a dollar or two below retail price and free shipping if you have Prime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashman Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Dont forget to purchase pinball fx 3 :cool: Is there a way to turn off the controller vibration emulating the coils. Drives me crazy so I don’t play it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwaggle Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Is there a way to turn off the controller vibration emulating the coils. Drives me crazy so I don’t play it. You can turn off controller vibration on the whole Switch in the system settings, under "Controllers and Sensors". I dunno about just for one game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nich2pat Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Saw an ad on Facebook Marketplace for Luigi Mansion and The Witcher for $70. Not far from my place. Messaged the person and didn't hear anything back. Ad was still up for most of the day and sent a message later saying "or you can just let me know if it is sold so I can look elsewhere" and suddenly the ad was marked as sold. No correspondence back from the person at all. A simple "Yes its sold" would have been ok. Frustrating dealing with people sometimes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radirgyman Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Up to Stage 15 on Luigi's Mansion. Haven't played a game so addictive like this in yonks! Love it. Once finished Ill jump on the Gamecube version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namastepat Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yeah, I need to go back to that. I think I made it to level 7 or 8 and then started playing other stuff. Xenoblade Chronicles Definititive Edition comes out soon. I cannot wait to play that again. One of the best JRPGS of the modern age IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might chuck on the GC version now to get away from the frustration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nich2pat Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yeah I really enjoyed Luigi's Mansion. I have been playing a lot of Super Mario Maker 2 with the Nintendo Online subscription. Thousands of levels people have created and a lot of them are actually really fun. Currently on the Switch store you can get NBA 2K20 for $4.95. 90% off the original price. I downloaded it just because it was $5 but then found out the download is about 30 gig or something crazy. Need to delete some of my other games if I even want to play it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
