*** Nintendo Switch ***

Which is the next best model of Switch to the OLED? I've got my daughter and partner on AC and I think we'd benefit from different consoles. It works on one console but is pretty limited to what followers can do, without constantly changing leaders.

How much do I need to worry about joy-con drift and which version of Switch would you recommend for a 6 year old?

The standard v2 is the next best.
 
PPS, I would say the standard v2, at only 32GB onboard for all the OS updates, patches, DLCs and saves etc is a bit on the slim side.

If you're intending to use it as a main machine for them with multiple games, I'd definately invest in a decent performing microSD card for the system. It'd be fine for just AC, but I suspect they may play more than that!

The Switch is fine with most decent performance cards, albeit if they're on the lower side of performance it can cause stalls and hitches, so worth getting one rated U1/3 and A1, as that should guarantee it'll be up to spec for sustained transfers, installs and the like.

I'd still recommend the standard over the lite even for your 6 year old though; it has better battery life, and also the lite cannot be docked, and some games literally NEED extra joycons. The lite is more useful as a second system.

I would perhaps say go standard for your daughter, OLED for the wife as the OLED is a bit more premium and the wife may appreciate that, plus less likely to need to add a memory card due to the doubled storage :)
 
You cant go wrong with microSD cards from Kingston, Samsung or Sandisk. I have all 3 for my Switch consoles. Just make you avoid the fakes, so buy them off Amazon directly, Base.com or Mymemory.co.uk .
 
So I'm currently reading up on ACNH and how it'll work if I do end up getting another Switch for my daughter. Currently we live on the same Island and we each have a separate profile (Only mine is NSO connected). We have the physical version currently and unless going digital will make more sense, we might get another physical copy.

With the new Switch, I imagine it will allow me setup as a childs account and be linked to a parents account, but what will happen to her character on the island?

Will she have to start over from scratch on a new island?
Will her character still be present on my island?
Will we still be able to build on the same island and have a house on the same island somehow?
Will the cross-save function allow this if we sign up her up for NSO on the family plan and have her log in on mine and her console?

I don't think you can really rely on Amazon to ensure you don't get a fake, they have let some slip through the net. On the other hand their return is second to none.

Just make sure you throw it into your PC and run some tests on it to ensure its as advertised capacity wise. That's what I did with my 400GB before putting it in my Switch.
 
Are there any third party Joycons that are seen to be better than the official ones? I need a new set and was just wondering before I shell out £60 on an official set.
 
Anyone tried Fall Guys on the Switch yet? With it going free today I thought I'd give it a go and boy does it chug from what I've seen so far. I'll give it a go on the OLED version later on the off chance it copes better. It's a shame as it would be a nice sofa game in handheld rather than sitting at the PC.

I also don't have an online membership at the moment but it still let's me join games which I didn't expect?
