    It looks boss if you ask me, it’ll be huge. I’m in Y3 (a class of 7-8 year olds) at work and pretty much half of them get a Switch for Christmas, it’s the only console they talk about now (they were Xbox fans before Christmas) Lego is also huge so it’ll scratch that itch too,

    It does seem fun for the young'uns. Until the sturdy cardboard construction collapses under their gentle touch.

    Rayman Legends on the Switch is a right barrel of laughs.

    Fuck getting 850+ lums or whatever the fuck those creatures are called.

    Thought Zelda was amazing but I've recently finished the main Mario story and it's even better. Really one of the best single player games I've ever played.

    I'm about 300 power moons into Mario so far, can see myself getting close to 100% with this game. I think Zelda is around 20% completion and I've not got much enthusiasm to go back and play anymore. The main story is finished it's just all the side quests.

    Any other games to try? I've not really been into gaming other than Fifa for about 5 years. Are the ports like Mario Kart, Skyrim and Doom worth picking up?

    I really like the Mario Rabbids game.

    The comedy is shit but if you love turn based games (it's basically an Xcom copy) then you'll really like it.

    Doom is great but I'd settle for the PS4 / Xbox version if you have the option. Bayonetta 2 is like a fortnight away. I'm back on Mario myself. It definitely does bring your attention to things in that game. Anything that looks out of the ordinary usually leads to a moon.

    Trading Mario Odyssey in for £33.

    Thinking of taking the plunge on Zelda but worried it’ll consume my life. Any other suggestions outside of the ones listed a few posts up?

    Never played Devil May Cry.

    It has been entertaining so far, but it feels like I am just mashing buttons and hoping for the best. No clue what the fuck is going on 'story' wise either. Maybe I should have played the first one first.

    I mashed through it as well. The story was lifted straight out of Devil May Cry as well. Witch sisters that are the key some end-world resurrection event who are also born of FORBIDDEN MARRIAGE. That's all you get out of the first game.

    Good to be up to speed.

    I'll probably play it a few more times before abandoning it once the Kirby one is released. Then to wait for Mario Tennis.

    It's part of the reason I'm taking forever with Mario. I don't want to charge through that and then have to spend £40+ on something else to play from Nintendo.

    Lame. It'll kill the console just so some retard can play Pokemon Red at a bad resolution.

    I'd rather pay to do that. Hurry up, Virtual Console.

    Although I've seen SNES minis at £70 which is almost where I want it. Almost.

    Anyone on Mario Tennis?

    First I thought that it was too easy, plus not being able to play proper 6 game sets is still very stupid, but I just had a couple of very tense matches earlier and now I'm balls deep in it.

    I want to get it but I'm travelling in a few weeks and feel like I should save it.

    Plus you can switch B and A around as it should be on any proper controller rather than Nintendo fucking it all up.

    Forgot how good Mario Kart is! Amazing that you can pick it up live you've never been away from it, having played the Wii U one a bunch.

    How do you do that? And when you say ‘any game’, I’m assuming just Switch games?

    It's not too difficult to do, it's not as simple as hitting go and it's done. It's currently not fully done. If you power the switch off fully you need a PC to get it going again. You can use sleep mode fine though. I'd also buy a 'jig' off ebay rather than faffing with paperclips or tinfoil. I got this one and it's worked every time.

    I followed this video:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LMFUVfG7w

    It might be a little different now, as I beleive RajNX no longer packs Tinfoil in with his firmware.

    GBATemp have a LOAD of tutorials: https://gbatemp.net/forums/switch-tutorials.289/

    The main thing you need to remember is that before you do anything, the first time you get it to boot up to a firmware loader, you must backup everything. It takes some time but it'll help in the future.
    Then just keep your switch in Airplane mode, don't take it online, don't update it.

    I am on 4.0.1 fw, and the app to install games asks you if you want to ignore firmware warnings, meaning new games play on old firmware pretty much all the time.

    As for roms. Reddit's SwitchRoms section might be worth a google. Who knows.


    EDIT: Oh, they recently put out a slight hardware change on the newest switches that I'm not sure how much you can do with them. GBAtemp have a thread about serial numbers. The older the firmware the better is the rule. I they've got things going on the very newest firmware (out last week) but without a sleep mode.

    That's 1 million times too much for Spikey and also, mate you make enough money to buy the games. There's only like 5 per year.
