Got our switch on a spur of the moment purchase yesterday.

Loving it today, the 3 year old manages to play mario kart and some of the mini games on mario party. We then went on to play oddysey. Thought it would be fine if our 6 year old daughter was mario and 3 year old son was cappy. Unfortunately our son found the jump button and caused our daughter to die continuously, didn't go down well. I'd advise only kids 5+ play oddysey, even as the hat.

Obviously when the kids are in bed we play a bit, can't wait to complete oddysey with the Mrs.

My six year old completed Odessy on assist mode (I helped with some of the tougher platforming/timed bits). Was a great experience to share

I will be buying this. I think it looks great.

I have the same problem with Yoshi games that I have with Kirby games, they are always far too easy to the point that I genuinely think that I can complete them with my eyes closed.

I am concerned about it being as easy as Kirby. But Treehouses did make it seem like the challenge is there if you want to 100% it, especially in the later levels.

Hopefully there is a demo.

Anyone got the Resident Evil double pack? Opinions? Quite fancy something different. Last RE game I played through was Code Veronica on Dreamcast

We don't know yet. Unless I missed something.

Mario Bros Deluxe, Yoshi and Lugi Mansion 3, good times ahead

Not to everyone's taste, but a cheaper variant of the pro controller and after playing with mine for a week now, I've had no issues.

Also Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Daemon X Machina this year, plus the tentative 2019 titles like Pokemon (Gen 8), Pikmin 3 or 4 and Metroid 4.

Could be a great year for Switch gaming.

I have a feeling it's going to be a very strong year

They're excellent games, I enjoyed them both.

I enjoyed the Resident Evil games as well. Definitely worth your time.

I enjoyed Revaltations, though you can tell it was designed around the 3DS originally.

I have been meaning to pick up number 2 as I imagine this to be more fully fledged if that's fair

hmm quick question on octopath, what's the deal with the inn prices, they seem to be slowly creeping up, do they cap out?

done a lot of the chapter 2 ones, just need to finish a few more then chapter 3, i paid 30 for that game in the eshop sale but i reckon it is worth the 50 at full asking price, loving it

hehe sounds like fun and if you never had a wii u like me, there is a switch port of the wii u mario bros 2d game coming out on the 11th of this month and it includes the add on pack as well i think

edit: grab a physical version of star link while you can, comes with a cool arwing model and less than 20 quid now

Took a punt as it's £17.95. I'm not fussed about the plastic toys but cheap for the game I guess.

Just tried to play SSB:U with 2 mates in an arena battle and the lag was awful. We all live within 5 miles of each other as well so it’s not like we are asking for a lagless match across the world.

Is a wired ethernet worth it for the switch?

Depends if you have a new or older switch

Mine was before they sorted the Wifi issues out. So I got an ethernet adapter for mine, and it works great.

EDIT: To add further, I did have some troubles joining matches setup by Kreee and the Switch was 1 metre away from the Router. But the router itself may not be a lot of cop.

Anyway, I got the ethernet adapter and it joined instantly and between us (Switzerland to Portugal) its been brilliant.
