At long last I fired up the Switch yesterday for the first time in probably 2 months.
Played Cuphead with a friend, my god that is tough! But amazing. I need to buy it for my Switch (we played on his) and on my Switch we played Yoshi 2 player. Yoshi, what a charming game. I bought it on release and hadn't even opened the packaging! Got about an hour in on that and really enjoyed it. Such nice level design and there is a challenge if you want to 100% everything

Bought Tesla vs Lovecraft as it was on offer in the eshop. Really enjoy that with a friend, probably my preferred twn shooter (more like Smash Tv with the crazy massesof monsters).
Also bought Veritcal Drop Heroes, also a fun game with a friend!
So, Amazon Prime Day, I see Switch + Mario Kart + £30 Gift Voucher for £289.99, gonna guess it won't get better a deal than that

I loved my time with Yoshi. I 100% probably the first half of the levels then burnt out a bit on having to replay levels trying to find everything. I completed the main game but didn't go back to mop everything else up. It is a beautiful game. I may pick it up again one day.
And yes Cuphead is indeed amazing. I think I won't be completing it though as it's beyond my skills (or lack of).
£289.99 for Switch + Mario Rabbids + £30 voucher + additional set of joycons!
Bought Owlboy. Initial impressions are ‘meh’. I find the ‘pick up things’ game mechanic a bit annoying and I don’t find any of the characters particularly memorable. Will persevere.
No spoilers please
It didn't get great reviews.
I usually go off the enthusiastic IGN and the more reserved gamespot, seemed to get good reviews on there... who do you rely on?
Maybe it’s just that the game is a few years old and has been utterly outclassed since.

I seem to remember it getting pretty solid reviews on PC, including Steam user reviews. I guess that could be down to the PC having fewer quality platformers to choose from?

My Switch is on its way, along with the 30 quid voucher for the eShop. Might go for Mario & Rabbids, and Overcooked. The Resi games are tempting, but I've already played most of them on multiple platforms as is

If you haven’t purchased it already, the Zelda game, Breath of the Wild, is the absolute must must must must must have on the console IMO. The next best game is probably Mario Odyssey, some might place that as top.
Basically, get those two games whatever you do.
That's a brilliant price for a brilliant game.

Yeah, I have gift tokens for a few B&M stores which I'll use for those. BotW (and the recent sequel announcement) was the main reason I wanted the console. The Links Awakening remake was another factor.

Good to know. Thanks. Will try at the weekend.
Resi 4 - what a game hurgghhnnn!!! Definitely in my top 5. Played it through again recently and it’s still great, the controls now feel awful though as they have been refined many times since... once you get over that.... magic!
