Thanks. Yeah hasn’t mentioned anything about that will check it out.

Anyone who fancies giving Splatoon 2 a go can download a free online demo tomorrow which is playable until next Monday with a free 7 day online trial to go with it (even if you've used a trial before). https://twitter.com/NintendoEurope/status/1107645254113595392
So I got passed that bit quite easily with a bit of farming and item buying. Just looked up humanity and yeah, not explained at all. I’m fine with the lack of hand holding but you can’t just figure out a whole game mechanic that is never explained...
Yeh same here. I got mine at the end of last week, picked up Zelda on the Friday and managed to get a couple of hours in over the weekend. I was travelling a lot over the weekend so it was awesome being able to play in handheld mode. Also same on Sunday night when the other half wanted to watch some of her shows, just chilled next to her playing in handheld.
Need to get some proper time in on the T.V next, and some more games
Hooked on Dragon Quest Builders at the moment. Got caught out with the Chapter 1 boss, which wound up being a really tough fight. Up until that point, nobody had come close to breaching my base. By the time the fight was done, there wasn't much left 
Soldato
Yey, been awaiting this; downloading now.
Yeah man, do the same when the Mrs is watching that Vera, headphones on and happy as a pig in @#*°.
Also plodding on with BOTW, relishing every moment.

I'd say way and keep an eye out for an eBay code - I got a new Switch with Zelda for £250 from eBay last June
It's average, there have been better deals in the past but if you are happy with the price just buy it.
EDIT: when I say average I mean its just the standard price for Switch+Game bundle these days, especially given the same is a launch title and is freely available on the used market these days.

Splashed out on some games on the members market over the last few weeks. Bought myself Has-Been Hero's which is actually imo a good little indi type game and having put quite a few hours in and enjoying it. I've decided its a bit of a mix between binding of Isaac and plants vs zombies which is no bad thing. Once you get over the controls it's a really fun little game and ive spent quite a bit of time just picking it up for a quick run.
I'm on the lookout to build up a little collection of must play titles and am not sure what other titles are ones I should really look out for? Also does anybody have any recommendations for games to get out other than mario kart when friends come over?
These are the games I have bought or currently have:
Has Been Hero's
Mario Odyssey
Splatoon
Monopoly
Octopath traveller
Sega Collection
Mario Kart
Zelda BOTW
Im looking out for Super Smash Bros but after that I am at a bit of a loss so any recommendations are welcome.

Not really. Around £250 with a game is a good deal. £305 with Zelda is quite standard.
@Vince It’s all a matter of taste but for single player I’d say I enjoyed Hollow Knight probably more than anything else other than Zelda and I can’t quite recall Mario enough to say which I preferred.
More Dark Souls musings for anyone interested...
Yeah, some things they really should explain and it’s ridiculous they don’t explain them. It’s not even a case of ‘figuring it out’ - you can’t. It’s just not ****ing explained.
The humanity system, as stated.
The hollowing system.
The weapon bonus stats.
How to use spells - again, not obvious.
Honestly wtf were they thinking. That’s just bad game design. Nothing clever with that at all.
Otherwise, with a bit of farming and accepting that you pretty much HAVE to look things up to understand how they work.... life becomes so much easier and dare I say it, a lot more fun. I’ve rung one bell and now I’m wandering around exploring a bit more. The boss near the bell - I barely got a hit in. Two people came along and beat it up for me. Yay!
Final musings. Even suitably levelled up I thought I could run passed a load of nooblettes but no - I got stuck in a corner, raped from all angles, lost 7000 souls and 7 humanity. Then somehow fell off a ledge and lost it all for good. FML. Bottom line, don’t get complacent!
Edit - this from another forum puts my above point for more eloquently:

Edit - this from another forum puts my above point for more eloquently:
I was inclined to not spend any souls because I was waiting for the game to tell me “here’s an overview of what to do”. So I was struggling along as a total pipsqueak. Really I was making life far harder than necsssary, simply because they game didn’t tell me what choices I actually had. Armed with knowledge, you can then make informed strategic decisions. Otherwise, enjoy wasting hours on speculative experimenting.

The worst part about dark souls imo is that it doesn't tell you how to summon/ invite your friends which put me off the game slightly

That's because people think it's difficult so they think it's better but it's not really that hard it just has a high learning curve as the game doesn't teach you anything and once you get used to it the game gets pretty easy fast and boring imoYou're putting me off the gameI wonder why so many hold it in such high regard that it ruined being able to appreciate any other game for some people.
You're the sod whose been beating me to all the games being sold on the MM
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze is meant to be very good, could be worth adding to your list. As Nitefly said Hollow Knight is very good as well.
