Oh yeah I'm sure it is. But at £50, any time I think about picking one up i always think to myself that I could but that money towards a couple games instead.

A couple games instead.....yeah, not if they are 1st party Nintendo games

True

I found long sessions of BOTW much more comfortable with a Pro Controller. Any game where you're using both joysticks a lot is made much more comfortable.

Agreed, we've got a single Pro controller and four joycons, the Pro controller gets the most use by a country mile, unless you have tiny doll hands or take the console out of the house a lot, the normal joy cons are just compromising your comfort and ergonomics for no reason other than to make it portable, even it the holder they aren't great.

The longer you own the Pro controller the better value it becomes, as it will get more use over that time.

So think as soon as Amazon have them in stock in going to push the button.
Anything I should be getting with it?

Have my eyes on a third party pro controller about £23 on Amazon.

First games are probably going to be Mario Odyssey and Ring Fit Adventure.

Bare in mind you cannot wake the console with a 3rd party pro controller and there's no Amiibo functionality, for most people that's not an issue.

Battery life is poor compared to the original too.

Ring Fit Adventure is amazing. We played it for hours last night and we got up early to do a pre-work workout. Knackered!

I've had my Switch for a year now and still haven't found the need for a pro controller

Not even when playing on your TV?

What size sd card is everyone using, is it with getting a SanDisk Extreme over the ultra?
I'm thinking 256gb would be enough.

Happy with the joycon grip

I have a 128GB. I wouldn't worry so much about speed but do make sure you get a good brand one.

I'm using a 256GB card. It's enough for me but I don't have everything installed all the time. I found 128GB a bit small when some games can be as big as 30GB (Witcher 3 is one).

512GB and it's nearly full.The two Resident Evil Revelations games and The Witcher make up 100GB together. Doom, both South Parks, and Skyrim make up another 100Gb... it goes fast!

Depends if you're a physical user or digital

Depends if you're a physical user or digital

Mix of both I imagine, if digital is the same price or less that's my preferred.

 

[Phate]

I have a 128gb card which is no where near full but I prefer Physical carts wherever possible. I just think they're cool

And are actually worth something once you decide you don't want the game any more.

I go with the physical carts where possible so I have plenty of space on my 128gb card. It’s pretty rare the digital version is cheaper.

Thinking about buying Mario Maker 2 or Pokemon. My Switch has been somewhat neglected lately since my PC build was finished. Poor thing, I feel sorry for it

Although Animal Crossing is already pre-ordered - maybe I'll just wait.

Has MK8, Oddesy etc been cheaper physical? Often £33 on the eshop

Pokemon! I traded MM2 in for it.
