Thank you, tried this this morning. Firmware is up to date, but tried another HDMI port and it seems to be okay. Not sure why.. could the port have degraded? Only tested for 5 minutes, will test further tonight when we play some Mario Tennis.
 
My lad has asked for Super Mario Party for his birthday which is handy as it is on digital sale at the minute. If three of us wanted to play how many joycons do we need. We currently have a pair of joycons and the pro controller. thanks
 
One joy con per player. That's the ONLY way to play. Unfortunately you can't use the Pro controller
 
Its honestly bad value at anything more than £15 but if your lad has his heart set on it...

Nintendo half assed it and then just abandoned it. No DLC and limited content in the core.
 
^^ Super Mario Party... I would give it more credit!

I played 2-3 (N64) and 3-7 (Gamecube), then I gave it a break as I didn't have a Wii or Wii U. But at least I know the series to some extent. Then I bought a Switch last month with a bunch of games, so I'm a returnee to the MP series. I'm really enjoying that it has almost 100 features which I think is more than any others I have played. There are some fun rumble-based features too. There is also a dance / rhythm mode which I've not seen on Mario Party before, plus a river adventure mode which is also new. Then the base game has the familiar free-for-all board games and the paired (2 vs 2) mode with slightly altered boards. I also discovered a secret area called the Rec Room (I think?) but I'm not sure what that's for yet. Granted I paid £34 for the cartridge version but I feel there is still plenty of content in this game.

I'm also really enjoying the Gameboy Color re-master of Zelda - Link's Awakening.

Currently using the Switch on a 1200p monitor (no TV) but the Switch's graphics doesn't quite fill it up, so I'll need to get a 1080p monitor to make the most of it.
 
Super Mario party definitely seems like a half baked effort compared to other Nintendo games. But think a lot of the MP games have felt a bit light anyway.
However it is still a great game when played with others. It is one of our most played games in our house. A few extra boards as part of a free DLC would be most welcome Nintendo!
 
I've got a Series X on Pre Order but anytime I see a multippat game I mean towards the Switch just so I know I can play it off TV and take it with me.

I'd always accept the downgrade in graphics and FPS when compared to Series X for the benefit of portability
 
I enjoyed most of the mini games in SMP but it was just all very limited and the boards were a bit rubbish IMO.
 
just a heads up for anyone on the fence about attempting to get a free Joycon with drift repair on an out of warranty console from nintendo

I sent mine off just under over a week ago no proof of purchase or anything and it appeared repaired free of charge from Nintendo yesterday :)
 
I wonder if Microsoft have anything to do with the servers, I know Sony have a partnership with them to use the Azure cloud stuff it'll be interesting to see more info.
 
They want to sell it for £35 too, I cant see too many pay that money for a cloud game. I didnt think it played to well for me either, quite a bit of stutter. I did choose the high visuals option tho.

PS Now library on Switch would be amazing.
