Brilliant evening of a bunch of matches against Kreee

I need to unlock more characters to have more variation of fighters. Brilliant brilliant fun though.

Forgot to add that earlier I accidentally

Yeah good games, you improve fast.

If I had any friends I'd get that Smash controller or the Splatoon one

I was going to buy the pro controller but couldn't justify it enough as I play on switch in portable mode more lol.
Just bought Smash bros and Sega Collection for 4th time, ready for christmas family gathering.

The pro controllers if you do any amount of docked play are worth it IMO.

Our daughter is getting a switch for Christmas, and I am looking for an additional controller so that the family can all play Mario kart, and she can play other games with friends. Is another joy-con advised, or is a pro controller a better option.

Also does the pro controller react to movement so turn the controller turn the Kart or is it like a standard controller?

I like putting the joy-cons in the steering wheel holder, sometimes easier for the kids than the analog sticks - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Switch-Joy-Wheel-Accessory/dp/B01N7RIIR2

Mario Kart on Switch has a nice feature called smart steering which helps keep them on track, and auto accelerate, great additions to help younger kids get into it.

I just just finished GRIS. What a beautiful and strange thing it was. If you like games like Journey and Abzu you'll love it. Stunning artwork and sound. Glad I got to experience it.

I went with an extra joy-con in the end. I will be looking at getting a Pro controller if I get some time on the switch myself, and I will definitely look to pick up the steering wheel accessories.

Quick question - is there anything worthwhile you can do with platinum points? Or is it all just wallpapers and the like?

Noxia · 21 Dec 2018 at 20:34

So is Civ actually quite similair to the full fat PC version or is it a cut down version like the one for mobile or PS4 I forget.

Plainsong · 21 Dec 2018 at 21:41

It's the PC version not the iOS one.

It's missing features such as online multiplayer and local hot seat multiplayer.

Oh that's ok .I'm quite amazed they did it at all! But I mean it used to get slow on an i7 back when I played V with a few ai

End game is still a bit slow but you can do other stuff while you're waiting for everyone to complete their turn. It's a great port and a really addictive game.

Played some Mario Party earlier in the week. Played 3 boards of which 2 were rather meh and I wouldn’t bother with them again. Was going to get it myself and it turns out that there are only 4 boards in total?! Wtf. That is dreadful.

Mario party 2 had 6 IIRC.

It does slow to a crawl as you progress.

I love Mario Party but I didn't buy this version as they did a lot of things wrong. We now play overcooked our main 4 player game with friends.

It's on sale at the moment on the eshop.

I thought that would be the case but should be able to get some enjoyment out of it I think.

Is Mario + Rabbids worth the £15 in the sale? Is it suitable for 5 year old or too difficult?
