The Pro Controller for me looks infinitely better and more comfortable.

Infinitely better?

Well I have good news! Even though it is infinitely better it is available for a finite number of Euros. 80-ish Euros, in fact!

So at least you've proved it's worth the extra cash so we can put that "overpriced" argument to bed now. 80 Euro for something that is infinitely good? That is a bargain!

Matching colours do look better but do they look 10 euros better or infinitely better? :cool:

When did you get your Switch? Was it early on in its life cycle? Launch model Switchs have a problem with connectivity in the left Joy-Con. You can message Nintendo online with your serial number. You could maybe have one of those models, Nintendo will fix it for free if you do.

I got mine a month ago. Its not that issue. Its just general low reach issues. A bit annoying, but meh.

I still didn't got the answer if pro controller has better reach, I would get it only for that. I have no issues playing with joycons, theu feel comfortable enough for me and I never felt like I am missing out without pro controller.

Stuff like splatoon 2 I play with joycons separated and in table top mode. Thats the best way I found to play with motion controls.

[Nintendo Switch] Controller range testing

It's not very scientific but you can find other info on Google. I didn't know that the Charging Grip increased the range, it makes sense that it would. But that's more money. It's another thing I think Nintendo should have included rather than the plain plastic grip. Anyway, the Switch Pro Controller has the best range.

Including it would have pushed the purchase price up. You get nothing for nothing in this world.

I'm not paying anything for Boards and some posters make me quite mad, with no expectation of payment.

The Best Nintendo Switch Games of 2017

Oh IGN, you were doing so well until the last entry. I can see why and agree with all the others but I just don't see the appeal of the last game, perhaps it needs to be played to fully appreciate it. They left out Xenoblade Chronicles 2, maybe it was too late. I really like the music in the trailer.

What are everyone elses top picks for the year? And then there's 2018. There is not a lot known bar a few games and there's certainly nothing announced or confirmed for release yet that's going to be killers like BOTW and SMO.

Mr E · 07-12-2017 07:29PM

Good list. Thumper is great. Needs to be played (with headphones) to best appreciate it.

Tipsy McSwagger · 07-12-2017 09:15PM

Just seen a Switch ad on Food Network+1, my god I think the apocalypse is upon us.

Player the demo on the vr headset and loved it. It's on my shopping list. It's one game I will buy on the PlayStation over the switch because of the vr.

keane2097 · 07-12-2017 10:52PM

Thumper $14.99 on the US store, seems to be the cheapest. Presume buying from there works the same as the rest.

Don't forget The Game Awards are on tonight. They start at 1.30am. I expect there'll be some Switch game reveals, we might even finally get to see the Zelda: BOTW DLC. Oh, ya, and they give out awards so Nintendo may clean up in a few categories.

Thumper is a good game but it's no Game of the Year contender.
This has probably been my favourite year in gaming ever. And the Switch has quickly become my favourite console.

sligeach · 08-12-2017 02:36AM

The Pre-Show is starting in 30 seconds.

sligeach · 08-12-2017 03:29AM

Aonuma is on stage. Here we go! Zelda BOTW DLC.

Edit: Holy F***! It's available tonight.

Corholio · 08-12-2017 04:14AM

panevthe3rd · 08-12-2017 04:15AM

Andrew76 · 08-12-2017 04:16AM

Have Bayonetta 1 + 2 for the Wii u played the 2nd one for all of 20 mins.

But some how I am going to be 're buying them again for the switch in Feb ha.

But just started skyram on the switch I am shocked it plays extramly well on the console and enjoying it while doom is shocking washed out crap that just fells wrong at 30fps!!!

CiDeRmAn · 08-12-2017 11:39AM

I will now own Bayonetta on 360, WiiU and Switch.
And I completed it on 360...
Go again?
Do I even have to think about it?
Need physical copies though, I'll have to import.

Are export copies phyiscal for both? I was under the impression that 2 was on cart, and 1 was download, akin to RE

sligeach · 08-12-2017 12:29PM

Bayonetta 2 was 14.6GB on Wii U and the 2 games combined were 32.2GB. They must be able to make them fit on a 32GB cartridge with some optimisation. They didn't have to worry about space on Wii U. It's another game that's going to use a 16GB cartridge and say sod it, you can download the other one. I doubt I'd have bought this Collection anyway, well maybe in a sale but I'm not going to support this practise. There are 32GB cartridges, bloody well use them.

CastorTroy · 08-12-2017 12:51PM

Have you ever bought a usb stick or memory card with the storage advertised on it? Like a 16gb card would only have 15.6gb free on it.
And I'm pretty sure the games are optimised on the wii u so there's only so much optimisation that can be done.

But sure you don't have to buy it. I have the dual pack on wii u so i won't be getting this. But it didn't bother me that it's being rereleased.

I appreciated the first game being released on wii u so i could play it before playing 2. Or do you think that is a bad idea?
