I picked 1 up with mario kart, mario odyssey and Luigi's mansion 3, and with discount it was 320. Bargain really. Now what's this Nintendo online subscription I've just found out about. And the extension option that goes with it. What's it all about and which one do you guys have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OLED Switch is lovely. I've had mine for almost a year after debating for a while whether it was worth the upgrade. It was. I got a good price for my og Switch, which helped.

It's as much the fact it fills up the bezel as the OLED technology itself, but then the OLED's colours and blacks also obviously look fantastic. Some black and white games, like Hollow Knight, Undertale, look so good. The Switch itself is better quality too. It feels more premium. I sold the old one to my brother, who got it for my niece, so I didn't have any of the selling hassle. It was last year just after the price drop. I saw how much they were going for on eBay and gave him that price. I'd just sell it on eBay myself as yeah CEX are a ripoff. But even then I'd get flashbacks to when I sold my Wii years ago and Royal Mail lost it and refused to pay me the compensation. (I actually do have a spare box, but it'd cost a lot to send it from Spain. I could post it around Christmas time when I'm back.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i bought it with the greys. As for the OLED console im looking forward to it. Im sure some of the colourful games are going to look fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 23, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted November 23, 2022 Wow, the new Pokémon game looks rough. Particularly bad when they've already released an open world Pokémon game this year that both looks and performs far better. Looks like the Pokémon Company has dropped the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Gotta spend more time on mine but so far it's not really grabbed me as I hoped it would. Early days though yet I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame because the gameplay appears to be the best in the series for a decade. Other companies you'd expect them to patch things as their reputation would be on the line but Nintendo are raking in the $$$ from this (never understand why people preorder games, it's so silly) so there's simply no incentive to fix this.

Risso Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Just started Skyward Sword, really enjoying it, even though the control are a bit shite. Getting used to them, but they're clearly designed to make use of the hardware, rather than being actual fun to play. I just want to press 'B' to use my sword, tbh.

Chindie Posted December 1, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 1, 2022 When you get your eye in with Skyward Sword, it's really quite good. But you'll be left with the feeling it's not as good as it could be because of the controls. And it does feel a bit unusually chucked together for a Zelda title. It's not as cohesive as usually expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The controls for chucking a bomb are phenomenally dreadful, which is shit as the boss entirely depends on it. The other thing I don't like is the lack of a proper world to explore. It looks beautiful though, and the dungeons and puzzles are well put together with just the right amount of challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks beautiful though, and the dungeons and puzzles are well put together with just the right amount of challenge. The lack of a true overworld is the thing I meant mostly with the 'chucked together' criticism (together with another thing you'll find eventually). It's very odd to play a 3d Zelda where you don't really have an open world, even less so than Wind Waker. And yes the controls are shite. It's hamstrung by it. The game is designed around motion controls and you can't really avoid them. The stick control is fine but you can tell it's a fudge to try to overcome the game being inherently a motion game. Has fantastic dungeons though and it looks fairly nice, and it some of the better ideas for a Zelda game in recent memory. And a couple of the worst. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
