Breath of the wild still holds its price very well, so can't see there being any super nice deals on the new one.

I went for the Currys deal a few weeks back

Any cheap deal on Advance Wars? Was really interested until I saw the price on the eshop. What a rip off

Just seen it's going for ~£36 on the game collection's eBay page with a code if that's an ok price for you.

Any recommendation for a cheap but decent charging stand? That is - a dock, but no intention to attach it to a TV, it's just to make it easier to leave on charge.

The official one is good.

Anyone using these soft tpu cases? Thinking if it's a nice snug fit.

Don't do it imo... I have had a lot of switches come to me that have had these sorts of things on since new and they are generally in worse cosmetic condition than the switches that come to me with no cases or covers. The dust and dirst seems to get under them and just has its way with the console so you get scratches everywhere. Just my 2 cents on them

All this time playing Mario Kart 8, and just yesterday I learn you can throw items behind you...

This was possible since Mario Kart on the SNES lol

Wow that’s amazing that you didn’t know that haha

Well I'm used to holding things at the back, and I was under the impression that you would throw back if you held it at the back first, or looked back with the camera while throwing. Every time it never went as planned, so kind of chalked it down to not being possible.

Then yesterday, I noticed someone use it on me. Pretty sure others have used it on me before, but I hadn't really noticed or understood where it came from.

It just never occurred to me to hold the joystick down, as usually I'm just going left and right.

Convinced the Mrs that I needed a Switch for my birthday so the proud owner of a new White Switch OLED, forgot how many games I actually owned on the store from when i previously owned a Switch!

Anyway. Will be mainly Advance Wars for now anyway!

Been playing No Man's Sky on Switch this week as it had a price drop and I had a voucher on top too so got it for £12.

I like it but it's pretty rough going, I mainly got it so I could play handheld when traveling.

The texture quality, frame rate and general lagginess in the controls is disappointing. The fact it's running at all is impressive but I can't imagine the average person being happy with it.

Despite the limitations playing on the oled screen is nice and is definitely better than playing on TV, the poor resolution etc. is amplified on a bigger screen and looks awful.

Any recommendations on a cheap, decent Pro pad? Last one I had isn't in stock any longer

I'd recommend the official one, might be a bit more expensive than some (about £50 from known retailers) but I've had mine since launch and it's still working fine, personally not had any stick drift and the battery is excellent.

Been using this for more than a year no issues https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zexrow-Wir...id=1682601821&sprefix=switch+p,aps,102&sr=8-5

Plainsong · 27 Apr 2023 at 14:38

The official one is the best by far. Bulletproof and the battery lasts forever. Expensive yes but there is a reason for that.

You should be able to use other controllers with an 8bitdo adapter @chrismscotland

Am I right in thinking that to sync game saves between two Switches I need a Switch Online sub?

Sadly yes. The only official way to do it is with a sub.
