*** Nintendo Switch ***

[delta0]

Today bought a Nintendo Switch for £230 from a major grocery store (A) and a Ring Fit for £40 and Super Mario Odyssey for £35 from another major grocery store (T) - super chuffed for my *ahem* 8yr old boy! Can’t wait for Xmas day.

Do I need to open / turn on to create Nintendo game store account so that I can buy games from the store? Some great deals on there!

Yes you will need an account to access the Eshop. There aren’t always deals on but right now it’s looking really good. Also some sites like cdkeys have some good deals from time to time, like Mario kart at the moment. I’ve bought keys from them before and you enter them into you Nintendo account and even get the gold coins to use as a discount for other purchases!

It’s possible to buy games directly from the switch so make sure that is controlled if you are giving this to an “8 year old”

Picked up a Switch OLED and got a copy of 3D All Stars; enjoying Mario 64!
Already had a non-OLED switch I sold a couple of years ago and totally forgot I had Mario Kart 8, Stardew Valley and a few others I bought as downloads!
Picked up Saints Row on offer and will likely buy Bomberman (sure I had a hard copy before); looking for something to tide me over Xmas and then a few days away might go for Skyrim but wondered what the GTA Trilogy is like on Switch?

Bomberman is on at a ridiculous price right now so be fast if you want that one!

On GTA trilogy. Only get it for the nostalgia. I prefer it on the switch simply because it’s portable and I can play it anywhere easily.

The gta trilogy is supposed to be really bad on all systems

Yeah that was what I was thinking to be honest; portable and can play them anywhere!

BOTW is £32 on Amazon ATM.

Nintendo really need to up their infrastructure. Trying to redeem codes or buy games on the eShop today is an absolute joke. Constant crashes and errors no matter whether I try the Switch or the PC. And downloading a new game took forever!

 

[CHokKA]

Brilliant, and now through my attempt to purchase a game costing £4.50, the site has attempted the transaction, failed, but I've managed to purchase £50 worth of eShop credit. What a load of rubbish!

Thanks for the heads-up for bomberman, have just purchased and will download when I get back to the UK

 

[CHokKA]

Also worth noting that Torchlight II and III are both on for about £5.

Can someone recommend the absolute fastest microSD card that the Switch supports in either 256GB or 512GB size?

Picked up Bomberman and decided to buy the GTA Trilogy for £40. Really enjoying Vice City so far to be honest!

Picked up Bomberman and Saints Row from the sale. Two absolute bargins.

Still working through 3. Got distracted by BOTW. Looking forward to Vice City as it was the only one I’ve not played before.

Ordered myself a screen protector the OLED. Had an Orzly on my original Switch and that was great so hopefully still a good brand.

It is.

Pack of 4 screen protectors and still on the third one there's trapped air. Infuriating

Anybody used the ivoler oled screen protectors? Comes with an application tool

Yep I have, I picked one up for a Christmas present oled. The clip on frame makes lining up the screen child's play. I did use the steamy shower trick to get rid of dust in the room too. Looked great though, no complaints from me.
