*** Nintendo Switch ***

Is there any indications of Nintendo making a proper Pokemon game for the switch?

A Pokemon RPG that is a "couple of years away" was announced @ E3

Just picked up Arms (guy behind the till just had to make a legs joke didn't he) - apparently they were handing them out yesterday - doh.

Anyone else picked this up yet?

I gave up checking because there was never anyone on. Would be better slightly earlier for me like either 6.30 or 7 onwards.

Omg ARMS so much fun online. I am hopeless but it is insane fun. I haven't enjoyed playing online so much since, well, Mario Kart lol

For the low low price of £400... I can get the Limited Edition Monster Hunter XX Nintendo Switch bundle imported (includes shipping). Now the question is... should I be paying £400 for a nice Switch and one game? Or should I wait for a bundle with Mario Odyssey or Xenoblade to be announced in the West? Heck, what are the chances of that happening, I'm doubtful that Nintendo would want to bundle a Switch with a Mario game, only because it's never happened before for previous systems like WiiU. The game standalone (admittedly without shipping costs) is roughly £35 from Amazon.jp though.

That's my issue, I'd either go for a unique looking console bundle or a regular one on special offer. Considering the Switch just launched, I doubt the former will occur. And I don't like the Neon Switch only because the colours don't match (I'm very OCD about these things). As we all know, putting a Vinyl decal on the Switch is not an option :c

Fingers crossed for a Xenoblade 2 bundle then! I hope it's a red system.

On the brightside, plans to buy an Xbox One X were shot down after learning that it's not true 4k all the time. So I guess more money to put towards the Switch...

Hi guys, off to Spain tomorrow and was just wondering if I can use the switch on the plane and keep it in cabin luggage? Or does it have to be in hold?

Cheers

Nothing to worry about, you can take it on the plane. Took mine on the plane to and from Vegas last month. Zelda and Mario Kart helped with the 10hr flight

I've used mine on the plane a lot. No issues.

 

[Cosmic182]

Excellent cheers guys. I'll just keep it in my hand luggage and show them at baggage security then.

Much appreciated!

Trying to find a switch to take home today but tracking one down is proving to be impossible! Didn't know the supply issues were so dire! Any ideas?

Supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Asda or Tesco.

Switch still out of stock at my local smyths toys, has been since launch.

Also has the switch gone down in price? I swear it was £299 at launch.

It was always £279 as I remember.

I don't check any more either as people's play times were too inconsistant; I can change the start time if people want since I set that one up.

My best man and Raymond bought me a Nintendo Switch as a wedding gift with BOTW
