I tried to get it in my local 'Tesco Extra' yesterday, but they didn't have it, so I ordered it from the Nintendo store.

Tetris belongs on a hand held console!

It totally does, having it available for a quick blast whenever and wherever makes it perfect, and for £27 it's a bargain for the amount of hours I'll get out of it.

Has anyone played Subnautica on the Switch? If so, how have you found it?

I'm currently playing Below Zero on PS5 which is great but having the option to play handheld on the oled is very enticing.

I've picked up my soon to be 7yr old son a Switch OLED for his Christmas and I'm looking for a good quality case that will offer it some good protection from some inevitable drops.

Ideally i'm after a case that's also dockable and allows the joycons to be removed with the case in place too. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Dread is £34.99 at Currys with code GAMENEXTDAY.

Loving the Switch OLED, the screen is soooo good.

Cheers for that, reserved for collection.

Wasn't that fussed about Metroid to be honest but another technical video from Digital Foundry sold it to me.

Which case have people purchased for their OLED Switch?

I’m curious if anyone has connected the Switch to a tv without the dock. When I travel I will want to connect it to a tv but I definitely don’t want to be carrying the dock as well if I can avoid it.

I went with the official one. Assuming you mean travel case.

Yeah, thanks. I will get the official one.

I got a Zelda travel case from Argos on eBay for £8, it's a alright basic case with 2x 4 game holders

Just found my original Switch travel case. So money saved

I made my own portable dock by gutting an official one and putting it in a small 3D printed case.

Argh, the screen protectors have been delayed for the wife's OLED. It is just sitting there taunting us

Just took delivery of some games from shopto, and what a waste of packaging, a big empty box for 5 games, and no paper or bubble wrap, surprised no broken cases way they was rattling around

Not sure what the situation is now but 3rd party docks/dongles had bricking issues. I got a second dock then reshelled it to this, made it far more portable to carry around.

Use it, just don’t dock it as that immediately marks the anti shatter coating.

Cool, I thought I'd post it incase it helped one person so glad it did.

Seen an article earlier from Nintendo claiming that joycon drift is unavoidable. Due to wear & tear

This is true, all analog sticks will eventually either drift or become too loose to register maximum input correctly.
