I can't make my mind up to buy the boxed or code

Also is it possible to send the sound from the switch to my Sony Bluetooth speaker over Bluetooth ?

Phate · 21 Oct 2017 at 12:42

Physical for me. I like the carts. They're cool. And not exactly difficult to carry around or change. It's a few seconds.

Only if you have something to transmit the sound. Like from your amp or something. The Switch cannot natively connect to Bluetooth sound devices. You can get a plug in for the headphone jack though.

That a shame, So that also means you can't use Bluetooth headphones...

For now, yes. A recent update allows wireless headset support. Got people over the internet trying out various headsets now with usb reciever. So stay tuned

Also a rumour that Odyssey may be in 1080p when docked - https://mynintendonews.com/2017/10/...says-super-mario-odyssey-is-1080p-in-tv-mode/

I've got Odyssey retail on pre-order with Amazon.

SAM81 · 21 Oct 2017 at 14:52

Pre ordered on Amazon but I just assumed it was the boxed version? Didn't see an option for digital

Plainsong · 21 Oct 2017 at 14:58

Amazon Switch download code is £41.99 same as physical. Even so I'm going for the cart.

That's why you should get a shell and put your official components in it.

Limited run games are giving away a switch on Twitter ahead of an announcement tomorrow! Could this mean they will infact be doing switch games??

Yeah, although you can't connect Bluetooth headphones directly to the Switch, I think you could use a USB Audio->Bluetooth transceiver like this one, plugged into the dock you wouldn't really notice it. I'm not sure all Bluetooth headsets would be compatible but most should, I may give this option a try. You can also get wireless headsets that come with a dongle for the 3.5 jack that is USB powered, so that's also an option.

Apparently the official PS4 Wireless Headset works with the Switch too

Gone with simply games for my Mario order, they have a good history of sending games out a few days early! Never know, Wednesday isn't out of the question with them

Yep! Limited run will publish physical switch games next year

Anyone here going be buying the Super Mario Odyssey game ?

If yes are you going buy the box version or download code ?

Bought boxed from Simply games for £41. Not a bad price considering its arguably their biggest first party title and they are nearly always £50 plus.

Other than dead pixels, could someone give me a run down on any hardware issues to look out for?

Mobius 1 · 21 Oct 2017 at 21:43

Just a warning. Few people are streaming Mario odyssey already. There will be spoilers over the internet the next few days.

Plainsong · 21 Oct 2017 at 22:01

I'm on total lockdown. The internet is dead to me.

Plainsong · 21 Oct 2017 at 22:02

Apart from. You know. This forum.

Mobius 1 · 21 Oct 2017 at 22:11

Hopefully no one on this forum will be posting any spoilers or game info without at least spoiler tagging it.

I’m being careful with what I read and watch from now til Friday.
