*** Nintendo Switch ***

[Jase]

The pro pad wipes the floor with PS4 and XB1 pads. Not that they are bad - I have and like both - but the pro pad is the best I've ever used and noticeably better. The sticks are freakishly good! Arguably not essential if you have other options, but if you want to play the best Nintendo games in the best way, go for it. I wouldn't wanted to have played Breath of the Wild and Odyssey with anything else. What I really want is to play other consoles with the pro pad ..

I'm surprised there's so much love for the Pro Pad, I don't dislike it but I don't like it either, it was when I bought it the best option other than using the default controllers. I would take the DS4 and Xbox Elite controller over it any day.

I prefer offset sticks. The DS4 is the worst of the three I think.

If you don't play many 2D games then it's pretty decent, but is has by far the worst D-Pad of any console I've used except for the XBox 360 pad.

What idiot thought that being able to simultaneously press all 4 directions at once was a good idea? Just because the joy-cons have that necessary flaw it doesn't mean that it had to be carried over to the Pro controller.

Wargroove is out on Friday (Advanced Wars clone), Stardew Valley and another vote for Holllow Knight are on the cheaper end. Mario + Rabbids can be had for around £20, Donkey Kong TF for £40 or Hyrule Warriors for £30 and The Binding of Isaac £30.

Wargroove review (skip the very long intro):

 

[Plainsong]

I am tempted to just buy it though I still have a ton of stuff I haven't started to play yet from the xmas sale. Head says to wait for a sale but my impatience says do it now!

 

[d_brennen]

Cheers. Going to pick up Hollow Knight and Steamworld Heist this afternoon, like my cartridges though rather than DL only

Fantastic choices!

Stick Steamworld Heist on the higher difficulties and it's brilliant. It's way too easy on the default setting.

 

[Plainsong]

Steamworld Heist was a great surprise for me. I looked at some youtube footage and still wasn't convinced but everyone praised it so highly that I bit the bullet and it is so good that I needn't have worried. Hollow Knight as well, you're in for a treat!

Cave story+ is currently on offer.

God dammit I want to try out Piranha Plant but I won't have time until the weekend!

 

[jmc007]

Got sent two codes for Piranha Plant, so here is the spare. C013X2FMHVY576C4

about 95 hours on octopath now and just seen the credits earlier, now the game begins i don't have any advanced jobs etc and just done the last chapter 4 one.

got a load of battle tested gear etc and been running around stealing from every person in every town lol

best 30 quid i ever spent.

had a laugh with a m8 earlier doing 2 player in mario wii u deluxe and the first ghost house

once im done with octopath im not sure whether to start up zelda or xenoblade 2, so many games, not touched my ps4 game wise since i got the switch and gonna stop my ps4 sub since the switch is soo much fun and im sick of getting loads of games ill never play, then i can sort out the switch back log and dent the steam one maybe lol

edit: tried to play double dragon in 2 player earlier and nothing much happened, had a m8 with my joycons in the thing that makes em a controller and i had the pro controller.

the game refused to recognise his controller apart from the snapshot button...

Valkyria chronicles 4 is fantastic. Would definitely recommend it if you're into turn based strategy games.

Is the fighters pass worth getting for Super Smash Bros Deluxe, only bought the game yesterday so not really had a good go on it yet?
