I meant to add to use Parcel Motel or AddressPal. I don't know if that there would still be problems.

So, the first official Switch eshop release week is, pretty bad... http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/nintendo_download_9th_march_europe#comments

God, I hope it gets better.

Edit: Blaster Master Zero is cool, but hardly amazing for a brand new system, a retro throwback.

According to Jermey Parish it's pretty amazing. Can't see how you can go wrong with a reimagining of one of the NES's very best games by Inti Creates.

Seems like were getting Binding of Isaac Afterbirth + next week too

I was quite impressed by that indie video they released actually, most of the games shown including Blaster Master looked pretty damn good. Would be nice if there were demos available to try before you buy.

If Isaac hooks you, then it takes over your gaming life. Or, you know, life in my case. I know the Afterbirth+ expansion has soured people on the series a wee bit, but I'd still stick up there as my favourite game ever.

I own it on PS4 and PSVita but I'm happy to invest again.
It'll be the same with Cave Story, the Switch version looks pretty great too.

Pac1Man · 09-03-2017 08:11PM

I heard today that if you download the parental control app, you can check how long you have been playing each game.

Someone may find that useful. Personally I love knowing how much time I have invested.

CliCliW · 09-03-2017 08:18PM

I'm using the parental controls app, it's great! It's a little shameful to see I played for 9 hours on Monday though...!

EDit · 09-03-2017 08:28PM

That's a great add on, although it doesn't do it retrospectively, so I've been playing Zelda for 5 mins when in reality it's about 15 hours by now 😀

They absolutely love Zelda and really like Snipperclips. It's all Nintendo up until 20 questions(52 minute mark).

It's not even in short supply, you could get one easy enough.

You Can Expect A Super Smash Bros. Game For Nintendo Switch
"We know that the fans love these games, love this content, so stay tuned."

Here are some other takeaways from the Fils-Aime interview:
Netflix and other streaming apps are coming to Switch in "due time."

Could Switch get a WWE 2K game? "We'll see what happens," Fils-Aime said.

Will there be a cloud saves for Switch? "Wouldn't that be wonderful--nothing to announce today," Fils-Aime said.

The Switch launch has no impact on 3DS launch; Nintendo is still committed.

He's seen five-day Switch sales figures and it's still the fastest-selling Nintendo system ever.

Nintendo isn't making anything for VR/AR yet because it's still a relatively niche market. Nintendo might get involved if it thinks it could be appealing to a wider audience.

Seems guaranteed by that answer, hopefully it isn't locked behind the subscription service. Surely we'll have a Nintendo Direct before the month is out?

Cloud saves are locked behind PS+ on Playstation. Not sure about Xbox.

According to the Polygon link below the Switch itself has an activity log - it started to appear after a few days for some people. So check out your Profile page every now and then.

I keep trying to like it but it never clicks. I just find the attacks weedy or something, there's no feedback. I'll keep dipping into it now and again hoping it clicks.

Star Lord · 10-03-2017 12:17AM

The attacks are weedy, they're tears. You can power the tears up, and when you do, there is a bit of knock back from them.

Not advertising but is 375 a fair price for a Switch & Zelda second hand now?
I don't want to gouge people but I feel after spending 400 last week it's a fair price....just have no time to play it in the immediate future

I think it is, but people on adverts will chance their arms with dumb lowball offers, in my experience.
