Kind of like how they did with the Wii version. Man, I wish light gun games would become a thing again. Yeah and its currently on offer 10% off. Think final day today. I think im gonna buy it as im eager to play it! It prob go on offer for a lit less in few months but a long time to wait!. 100% agree gun games are brilliant fun. I do hope they get a gun for this game at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there aren't too many games on it, but Zelda OoT and MM + Banjo Kazooie would be a good use of my free time . I got the SNES online basically for Zelda Alttp (my first ever zelda game) and super metroid. Donkey Kong's great fun too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkey Kong's great fun too The one good thing you get is the extra tracks on mario kart with the n64 online (if you play it) The games are good but there are so many games we wont see because of licensing issues. The next two on the n64 online are kirby and pokemon snap. So not really exciting. Ive completed mario 64, yoshis story so far. Gonna re do banjo once i finish GTA3. My only advice mate is try get a n64 controller if you can as makes the experience so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
og1874 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Literally just grabbed a switch lite off facebook marketplace due to a crazy low price. Already have the regular switch, but never found it comfortable to play as a handheld, so it's perma-docked. The lite is a lot more comfortable (just had a quick Mario Kart blast to "test it" while I should really be working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'm really interested to try the Switch OLED now. I recently got my hands on a Vita with the OLED screen and the screen is downright jaw-dropping. I imagine 10 years later the OLED tech has improved quite a bit so I can only imagine what the new Switch looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that's how it'd feel for me, because I have ginormous inhuman shovel hands, but I tried the wife's when she got it and found it a pleasant fit. For $140 with a case it was definitely worth it (they retail for $260+tax here). I can see how you might not like it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the switch oled i was tempted but at around £300 just for a improved screen seemed excessive. If they did a trade in for a discount i would have done that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seriously shocked when I loaded up Odin's Sphere on it. The colours were ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I can't log in to Nintendo online for some reason now. It's asking me to use Google Authenticator as a 2 stage log in, but I've never set that up as I don't have it. I did have an e-mail last night about a password reset and to click the link to set a new password, I ignored and deleted it as I hadn't requested a new password. Going back and forth with Nintendo Support now and trying to remember all my details (e-mail log in, user name, transactions, serial numbers etc..) is not working. I haven't got half the stuff they're asking for. Thing is my sons child account is linked to mine so if I can't access mine I can't access his either.

Dante_Lockhart Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Long winded back and forth but finally got 2 step removed so I can log in and change password. Looking at the recent log ins there's nothing obscure, so it looks like the 2 step authentication for some reason just got activated on the account. Weird.

The later version switched to LCD. If you have a launch Switch you can get decent money as they have the firmware exploit. Sold mine and the OLED only cost me £50.

Chindie Posted April 17, 2022 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2022 Finished Skyward Sword. I'm glad to have played it finally. It's quite good. It could have been one of the best in the series, but it's hampered in fundamental ways. On the plus side, it has fantastic dungeons and brilliant puzzles, led by some really good unique items. Genuinely best in series contenders. Truly great. And it looks really good. It has some good unique bosses for the series (and a **** appalling one). And it has some nice touches at depth with very minor upgrade mechanics and hints at the BotW gameplay mechanics. On the negative side though... It's defined by the controls. Everything is a motion control puzzle and while the controller based scheme works, it's still a never ending run of dexterity and reverse Simon says puzzles, which you never feel completely at one with, always held at arms length from it. And it only has 3 dungeons, really. They evolve and grow over the game, but fundamentally it's 3 dungeons that you revisit over and over. Which is then made worse by the fact the flying back and forth is completely pointless, and with no true hub/overworld makes the thing feel incohesive. And that boss, THAT boss. Whoever came up with that needs prison time. But I really enjoyed it. I wanted to play it, because it's a mainline Zelda game, but when it came out, when I was working in Gamestation, I had moved on from the Wii and the bad word of mouth meant I never went back to it. The remaster though, reveals it's a pretty good game, that could have been brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue I have with it is that it sometimes doesn’t dock properly - I have to control it into the dock, whereas my old Switch would slip in easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 (edited) Can confirm the OLED screen is a huge improvement. My step lad has one, the screen is simply beautiful and a huge step up from the base Switch, pretty much every game looks glorious on it. I don’t need to upgrade personally as I only play docked but if I was mainly playing handheld or new to Switch then I wouldn’t think twice. Also, it may just be because it’s new but if feels a hell of a lot more premium in its design and build as well. Just more solid than the previous model. Plus you get the sexy white joy cons and dock . Edited April 18, 2022 by Ingram85 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
