I'd love to buy digital, but can get Fifa for £20 versus £55 on the eshop!

I'd have loads of points as soon as they give us the virtual console

So Diablo is happening again now?

I wasn't convinced by their denial to be honest. Its a massively popular game and the Switch has a huge user base that would buy it. It wouldn't be that hard to port graphically either. Low effort and huge profits.

I've bought quite a few indie games on the eShop and for the most part I've been happy with them. Full price games I always go physical though.

Diablo hype back on then? Bring it on!

It could have been a little stunt to gauge the reaction before confirming.

Hope this is true .... And hope its out before my holiday in May, that will be the 9 hour flight sorted each way

I feel like I am the only one who hasn't played Diablo III and doesn't understand why everyone is losing their **** over it

Did a quick YouTube gameplay video and was reminded of Dungeon Keeper 2

You have missed out , it would be a dream to play it on the go , and the loot system is brilliant I really hope this happens haha

Is Diablo not a grindy hack and slash rinse repeat affair?

Mobius 1 · 6 Mar 2018 at 18:22

It is. But it’s the end game rifts, loot, and levelable gems that keep me going back.

Plainsong · 6 Mar 2018 at 21:09

Well apparently I had 770 gold points accrued which equates to £7.70 so I bought Celeste for a smidge over £10. I didn't even know that I had them.

I had tons of coins from my 3DS but because Nintendo took so long to pull their finger out, the coins have since expired. Pretty annoying.

5% money back on digital purchases, not bad.

For physical you only get 1%, but incase anyone is unaware you can register them via the Home screen; press '+' on a game and select the rewards option.

You can see your when points are going to expire on your account page https://my.nintendo.com/point/wallet

I've got £6.54 from previous rewards, time to check my wishlist

Plainsong · 7 Mar 2018 at 08:29

Nice one thanks I tried that just now with my Mario Kart cartridge and redeemed 50 points. I'll redeem the others tonight.

Phate · 7 Mar 2018 at 08:36

Good to know. I will do it tonight

Also tried out the Kirby demo last night. Similar thoughts to others RE the AI. But I did enjoy it! If they dial back the AI or put in a "hard as balls" mode then I'd be up for it!

Just bought mine, love it. Can someone point me in the direction of a decent expansion card please?

Also, is it possible to backup the expansion card in case of corruption?

Phate · 7 Mar 2018 at 10:28

Any Micro SD card thats class 10. Basically

I have a Sandisk 128gb. Does the job fine. Getting anything faster than Class 10 is pointless.

I think you can remove the card and duplicate it, yes. But not tried & tested.

ChrisD. · 7 Mar 2018 at 10:30

Thanks Phate.

Any tips for a new owner? I don't fancy reading 600+ pages!

Is it safe to charge the switch and Pro controller using my MacBook's power adaptor and USB C cable?

Why not, I have

Hehe, yeah its fine. I can and do charge my Switch and pro controller off a Powerbank. Tips wise:

- If you're going to travel with it, get a travel case, covers for the joy cons for protection.
- A screen protector is a must regardless of whether or not you're travelling, it's plastic and gets marked easily. Tempered glass ones are the best.
- Enjoy it
