+1 for the stand that Sama has linked.
I also bought this controller https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hori-Ninten...ct_top?ie=UTF8 It's not a mental price like the actual Pro controller, still licenced by Nintendo and feels good.
As for SD I went for this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Carry case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Orzly-Carry...rds=ozrly+case
No motion control on that though, right?
No.
I use it for Zelda (joycons for Mario) and hate the game with motion anyway.
Or rumble which means you can't do certain bits of Mario Odyssey. It's not a great controller either.
It works fine, I don't use it for Mario (I like the joycons for that) and I'm not going to spend £60 on a controller.
Consider me on the bandwagon, gents. I bought one of these this morning. I haven't touched the Xbox (for gaming) in months, I needed something new.

If you’re using it as a portable just buy a wall charger for about £20. You won’t need another docking station.
I didn’t even think of upgrading the SD.. may look into that.
Picking one of these bad boys later today. First console since the 64.
Think I'll go for Mario and Mario Kart for now. Or should I do Zelda instead of Mario?
I am assuming I can plug this thing to a PC monitor, right? Not sure I'll have much access to the TV.
As long as it has a HDMI, sure.
I prefer Mario to Zelda but DS sides with Zelda.
Can't rally go wrong with either and Mario Kart (which I picked up the other day) is my favourite since 64.
Shit, just checked and it's VGA only.
You can buy VGA to HDMI. Won't look great though.
It's perfectly good in tablet mode tbh. I spent a good 50-60% of the time spent with Zelda in handheld mode.
One of these should do the trick, right?
EDIT: Cheers phonics.
It's already a necessity. NBA2k18 needs one even if you buy the cart...
Is your monitor DVI or VGA? Remember to check or you might need a DVI to VGAOne of these should do the trick, right?
EDIT: Cheers phonics.
FFs. Let me check.
It says DVI-D in and VGA in so I should be good.
Just thought of something else, I am also going to need speakers, right? Tossed mine away not that long ago.
I don't even know where the monitor's power cord is.
Just get a TV cunt.
Why are people on about getting extra hardware for this? At the price does it not fucking come with what you need to play it?
Of course it does, some people are just full kit wankers about the thing.
Did I not see someone mention a stand? I thought the whole selling point of this was that you can play it handheld and then slot it in to play on the TV. Is that stand/slot thing sold separately?
The docking station needed to play on TV is included. It also includes a stand, but the stand is a bit shit, so you can buy another one if you prefer. The stand is only used to.... well... stand the thing up on a table or whatever when you're playing on the move.
There already is a stand on it but it's a bit shit.
Anyone who would actually use a stand though has never used a Switch before. It's much better to just use it like a tablet then stand it up.
Ah, so the dock that you slot it into that (presumably) has a HDMI connected permanently to the telly is included? That's not so bad then.
At this stage I've just to tell the Mrs whether I want this or something else for Christmas. I can't think of anything else I want but to buy a console at my age seems a bit odd.

Why is it odd? People of all ages game ya fanny.
They don't really though. And games are getting more and more aimed at children and imbeciles every cycle.
You're a very strange person.
They are. I was trying to google something about pes18 over the weekend about player switching being crap. Found numerous forums but does anyone play the game? Do they fuck, they just seem to buy scratch cards and get players from 40 years ago to go in their teams they never use. All aimed at the attention span of a rat.
Christ, just look at the FIFA thread here. I don't think anyone has kicked a ball on it yet. Everything seems be bullshit career mode sports or paint by numbers first person shooters where you just die and reappear an infinite number of times. That's what got me interested in the Switch, it looks as though they might actually have spent more than a week on game design.
So your basing a judgement on the majority of gaming off two shite level franchises? Never change lad.
Play Souls, play Borderlands, play Titanfall 2, play Prey, play Deus Ex, play anything.
First link in google for opinions about PES18:

Ye old fucker.
Lads I heard an ed sheeran song last night why is all of modern music shit
As if I'd try follow the popularity contest that is a reddit 'thread'
That said, the title is apt because the gameplay is shit. Luckily for Konami, nobody plays the actual game and they just buy cards or stickers.
Good shit right there.
So, Mario Kart. First, how stupid is it to have that auto-steering shit on by default? I could tell there was something odd but then I thought that's how the game was nowadays. Only noted such crap existed after over an hour in. Second, is it just me, or are the circuits much shorter than they used to be? It's still a really fun game.
Giggles you queen. I'm 35 and still play games. You can't be much older.
Yev is also the one who has played the most FIFA games (he's played over 300 games ffs) and he's about 50.
I genuinely didn't even spot that.
I was wondering why I couldn't reach 3rd stage drifts. Did lose my first race (fuck you Mario) but still won first cup easily with it off.
So much better and fuck Nintendo for it being on by default.
It's 320 for one of these + Mario Oddyssey + Mario x Rabbids at Tesco this weekend.
This is probably the furthest from the real world you've ever strayed.
I've explained my reasoning and am 100% correct.
If I wanted to buy sticker packs I'd go down the shop and buy stickers.
Don't be a div, it's the least correct thing you've ever posted on this website.
So people actually play matches on FIFA and PES? Do they bollix.
Yev plays a lot you mong.That's this week's squad battles done, finishing around the 65,000 mark for a firm Elite 2 finish. Had the luxury of playing the last four games on professional difficulty and loved bringing Sane on as the centre back that goes forward when ultra attacking, absolute beast. Sane and Promes are the bench players for these two squads that I've been rocking for a while now.

With the stats (format amended as per Raoul's suggestion, which is admittedly much better):
Think it's time to mix these teams up a bit now, which I'll have to do with what I already have in the cloob as I'd rather wait for the market crash on Black Friday/Cyber Monday before spending any more.
You've also got Danny, Sincere and others.
I'm on a bit of a break from it (but I play Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart, Zelda and Madden regularly) because I hate the new patch so much.
Myself and @Baz play so much Pro Evo we made a highlights package of the last game. Baz will be along to tell you how many seasons into our Master League we got.
I play matches. I've still yet to get on Superstar difficulty, though.
Any other Switch game recommendations?
I’ve got Super Mario, Mariokart and Zelda coming today.
Anyone tried Skyrim, Doom or Streetfighter? Wonder if Fifa will be any good.
Street Fighter is meant to be a dud. Have you played/got the others your suggested on any other platform?
If you haven't played Skyrim, I imagine it'd be amazing. It's such a huge game. And Doom is boss too if you haven't played. Giantbomb have done quicklooks of both:
Skyrim: https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/qui...ch/2300-12651/
Doom: https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/qui...ch/2300-12639/
Street fighter: https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/qui...le/2300-12087/
Yeah I’ve played Skyrim before.
Hoping it plays as well on a Switch.
There's no mods for it (so Bethesda gonna Bethesda and you may hit a bitch of a bug after putting 100 hours into a save), but the game is awesome.
Are there plans to release Fallout 4 on this?
