Had a quick half an hour with SD2 at lunch time. Liking it so far. Got past the first mini boss thing. Looks really nice. £14.99 or less for digital is the sweet spot for me. I am OK impulse buying at that price.

What is SD2?

Nintendo switch worth buying then?
Currently have a PS4 and pc. Really want Zelda Bow but how does it compare to Ocarina of time?

PC gamer and PS4 owner myself and the Switch gets all the game time at present. I can play and when I need to free up the TV I just move to handheld and its seemless. Loving the Switch so far

Well BOTW just won Game of the year.

The last Zelda game to win that was OOT...

Honestly it's leaps and bounds above OOT IMO. I really think it's the best game I've ever played.

Switch is worth buying if it fits into the games and style of what you need

like Al products!

After playing Splatoon 2 for a while with motion controls it felt very odd picking my Xbox One controller up and trying to play Destiny 2. I couldn't understand why the camera wouldn't move when I moved the controller. The Splatoon 2 motion controls are so intuitive once your brain gets over itself.

I sold my graphics card to buy a Switch. No regrets.

I'm back from Morocco the switch was great on the plane and while traveling between destinations. This Mario rabbids looks nice worth a purchase? any other games I missed over the last 4 weeks?

Steamworld dig 2 is getting some great word of mouth. Have not seen reviews yet but only heard good things from actual people Ive spoken to.

My point being its not an FPS which is what I wanted from the Vita. The Vita actually had a few decent 3rd person games.

I'm really enjoying Steamworld Dig 2. I just played it for 3 hours straight in handheld mode. I played the first one for a while on the PS4 and was a bit meh quite quickly. This is much better and I'm opening up some interesting places now.

Yep, they're the closest thing you will get to a mouse on consoles. The difference is huge, and it speaks volumes that there is no auto aim in splatoon, a rarity for consoles.

Fair enough. I don't really differentiate between the two as aiming is identical, but with third person navigating the environment is easier.

It’s really quite short, I was expecting a lot more depth but reviews are saying around 6hrs to finish the campaign. I think that’s pretty disappointing for the money. There’s no replayability really either. It doesn’t seem particularly challenging either.

Just after playing some Nintendo titles, Zelda Mario kart etc. My last Nintendo console was a Gamecube and the N64 which was amazing.
Hoping it can compare.

Is there anyway to play older Zelda titles on it (skyward sword etc)?

Not yet. Nintendo still haven’t rolled out virtual console.

Still gonna get one. Any good deals about.
Looking at the Zelda bow and Mario Kart bundle for £384 from Game.
