Can you use this to play local co-op. I have the normal and lite. If I buy on X account and download it on both. Can I launch it on the Normal Switch with X account and then use Y account on the lite.

I'm trying to play minecraft co-op with my 4 year old and the split screen is difficult to use.

You can't, to the best of my knowledge, buy a game on 1 account, add that account to 2 switches, download it on both and play. If there were, there would only be 1 switch account to cover the entire user base and we'd take it in turns to buy games.

You can, I think, have the same account present on 2 switches as long as you don't try to make the same account Primary on more than one switch, and you don't try to download a game you already have installed on another switch using the same account. I could be wrong about that though.

Long story short - if you want to play Minecraft on 2 screens you need 2 Minecrafts

Bear in mind too, that (again, going from memory) on Bedrock Edition you can cross-play between Switch, Android, PC and XBox. So break out a tablet or an old phone!

Aw shucks

I've been reading but staying very quiet on account of my D&D addiction. Need to keep my hands free for rolling dice.

Speaking of rolling Super Monkey ball is €20 in Smyth's as of today time for some monkey business

Banjo · 12-03-2020 10:54AM

It can't be a coincidence that they also have this awesome Monkey head mask to go with it for only €7!

If you listen closely you can hear them polishing your Dad Of The Year award as you approach the till...

Thinking of picking up Shovel Knight from Smyth's for €30

Banjo · 12-03-2020 05:31PM

It's a great game but it's hard. Proper old school hard. The way a game used to be able to get away with because it knew you spent all your money on it and it was all you had to play, so you couldn't afford to walk away from it. And I can't beat any of the bosses with my old man hands and my soft, flabby open-world-corrupted narrative-driven-rotted gamer-will.

I was bored, so I had a look around.
I've no idea which items nintendo licenced or made, no doubt some of these are neither, but maybe you could check out the stores reviews.

eBay. Going rate is €20 del from UK.

Theyre Jumper Paks.

RAGE never have any in stock, if they do they dont last very long. Theyre also double the going price on ebay.

okay bud, but google '' N64 4mb expansion pak'' from his post and see what comes up, either a memory card or the memory expansion.

Banjo · 13-03-2020 11:18AM

Yeah, the Jumper Pack is the opposite of the Expansion. It's a terminator for when you don't have the Expansion. If you're old enough to remember old-school SCSI or even RDRAM it's that kind of thing. The socket needs to have something in it, the jumper is just there to stop the signal reflecting back down the bus and screwing everything up.

If you have a functioning N64 and no Expansion pak you already have the Jumper.
Waiting 4 weeks to get a cheap pak from China only to find you'd ordered the wrong thing would be a little soul destroying...

Been looking for this Hori Split Pad to drop under €40 for a while.

Super.
Monkey.
Ball?

No matter what way I say it. I'm sold. Don't care what it is. I'm not even going to google it. Fireworks in my mind have all sorts goin on.

Smyths tomorrow.

chrislad · 16-03-2020 01:08PM

I wonder if the eShop (and indeed other networks) will start doing some major sales to help the isolation!

Would a sale on Alien Isolation be a little too tongue in cheek?

Only if it's 19% off.

GhostyMcGhost · 16-03-2020 01:54PM

Maybe a silly question lads, first time buyer of games from non Irish e-shop. Some good bargains on eshop-prices

I assume revolut will work instead of PayPal for regional shopping

Also, if I buy from Mexico store is there any way to know if English language is available. No hablo espanol!

Thanks!

chrislad · 16-03-2020 02:02PM

https://eshop-prices.com/?currency=EUR for a list of prices.

Revolut works for a few - South Africa, and Russia for one.

For US, you need to buy gift cards - I normally get them from pcgamesupply

For JPN, I set up a PayPal account linked to my Revolut.
