The Nintendo Switch

Nintendo-published games rarely go more than 30% off yeah.

Guess I'll finally bite then

its tempting but ive got too much to play already

Didn't Danger work on a Nintendo/phone hybrid?

My last job was working for Joe with a bunch of Danger folks.

Amazon seem to have knocked £30 off the price of the Switch

Does anyone know if save files from the new Pokémon are transferable between systems? I know it supports separate save files for different user profiles on the same system, which is a start, but Splatoon 2 doesn’t support save transfers and I don’t want to risk my partner not being able to transfer her save on this too when she’s finally able to get a Switch or her own.

there's no way to transfer saves between systems currently, other than a full system transfer which is not what you want in this case

Are you sure? I've never done it but seems this does the tricK? https://www.imore.com/how-use-nintendo-switch-online-move-game-saves-new-nintendo-switch

rocket league down to $12, i should probably get it right

Wait really? on Switch?

That sounds more like a PC steam sale price

https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/rocket-league-switch

it's a $20 game normally

Ugh :( Thanks for the link, abcfsk- that's the feature I was hoping was enabled, but wasn't able to search for without the exact terminology without getting a million results for a Pokemon save data editor. And it looks like for some goddamned reason it isn't supported: https://nintendosoup.com/pokemon-lets-go-pikachu-eevee-wont-support-cloud-saves/

I got a new job and want to reward myself with a game. Should I get

Tropical Freeze
Civ 6
Elder Scrolls
Dead Souls

I know they're nothing like each other and none of you have met me before, but PLEASE MAKE THIS DECISION FOR ME

Leaning toward DKTF

don't get civ 6

you will stay up all night, "one more turn", and lose the job

it's a $20 game normally

Ah, thought it was more like $40

get TF it's great and if you're leaning towards it already you can't go wrong i'd rate them

TF > Civ 6 > DS > ES

which ES is it tho? Skyrim or Online?

I haven't played Dead Souls but it's pretty similar, difficulty-wise, to Hollow Knight, no?

yeah they don't let you do cloud saves for games where you can savescum perfect gear to use online and i guess Pokemon online battles qualifies as that which sucks because i doubt 90% of people even play it online

oh no I hadn't realized Civ 6 was out on switch now

Want to give a shoutout to Road Redemption, the best Road Rash clone I’ve ever played which is now available on the eShop. Load times are enraging and I’ve never managed to get past the rooftop levels, but the game is insidiously compelling.

oh man. i haven't heard of road redemption, but i used to looooooooove road rash.

What are the best memory cards to get for the Switch - something like Samsung EVO+ ?

Also is 64GB going to cut it or is it better to opt for 128GB?

Can't see the kids downloading many games and assume most of those classic NES games take up very little space.

Ended up buying both Kong and Souls! COOL. They're being delivered later today.

I forgot I have Civ 5 on my Mac, and never really dug it, so I'm guessing Civ 6 won't change all that, I think...

xp sure, amazon has 128gb ones for 20 bucks currently which is a good deal. just avoid offbrands or unreputable sellers for microsd cards as there's a lot of fakes out there

64 is fine if you're mostly buying indie or smaller games digitally, 128 if you're buying a bunch of bigger stuff like zelda xenoblade smash bros which tend to be more in the 12-16gb range each

Got a Switch + Mario Kart + Pokemon for £299 yesterday.

Don't seem to be so many deals around today

theres an eshop sale though its mostly 3rd party stuff i only saw DKC TF on there for nintendo games

UK eshop has more 1st party stuff (Mario, Zelda etc) on sale, I bought the Xenoblade Torna DLC for 1/3 off

Aside from Rabbids for $20 there isn't much for Switch fans this year

Of course I buy Tropical Freeze literally ONE DAY before it goes on sale. OF COURSE.

Tempted by Elder Scrolls (for £30) and can anyone recommend one of the Steamworld Digs?

Imagine paying £40 for Breath of the Wild. That's a lifetime-great bargain.

i caved and bought a switch online which will not arrive until well after the bfriday sales, guess i gotta make an eshop account and buy stuff in advance lol

steamworld dig 2 is the good one. 1 basically feels like a dry run for 2, not necessary to play

Apologies for all the newbie questions but is it right some games can't have more than save file?

If I want to play say, Zelda or Mario once the kids are in bed, is there a way for me to do that without having to use their save file?

I think if you login as a different person, you get a different save file?

Yeah, separate profiles is the answer.

Cheers both

some games have multiple saves too i know Mario does. i think zelda you have to change profiles

i thought zelda did? tho i havent played for a few months

you can make multiple saves but i think they're all tied to a single playthrough and if you start a new game they get wiped

The ending of Inside is hilariously "????"

no spoilers pls! about threw quarters thru :)

god the ending of inside is so good

the actual end itself, and the last part of the game

it is very ??????, agreed

it's pretty cool

tried to buy some eshop games while the sale was on because my switch is in the mail. wouldn't let me buy until i've logged on with a switch. lol guess im paying full price

There'll probably be a New Year sale if you can hang on
