    Eurogamer: I played five indie games on Switch and they were all good

    Not "great" or "fantastic", just "good". They all do look "good" though, especially Steamworld Dig 2.

    Anybody here get Bomberman R ?
    I love bomberman games but the 3d-ish view is really putting me off.
    I'm sure I'll get used to it, but always seem to misplace the bombs - they always seem to drop a square ahead of where I want them...

    Anyone ? Class ? Anyone ?

    Got it, but haven't played much of it yet, because Breath of the Wild exists...

    What are people's opinions of this now - a few days in? I still can't determine whether it's must-buy or not, especially given the near 400-price tag.

    I'm absolutely loving it personally. It's a really impressive piece of kit and I've probably only had it docked for about 2 hours total since I got it. Partly because I'm waiting on my tempered glass protector and also because I'm mostly playing around the house/on the commute.

    Is it must buy? Maybe not particularly if you have a PS4/Xbox One already as there's still a ton to play on those systems with more amazing games coming out in a few weeks time.

    If you have a Wii U, there's probably no need to buy until November. That being said, I'm sure there's a few Wii U owners who would kill to take Zelda on the go with them but it's probably not necessary to *ahem* switch right now.

    It boiled down to hype and excitement for me. I had to get one, I have one and I am really enjoying it. Or rather, I'm enjoying Zelda. It feels great and plays well.

    I know there's concerns about content but I like the look of some of the indie titles, Mario Kart around the corner and Splatoon 2 coming very soon. I'm happy to take my time with Zelda but the system as a whole is gorgeous and is likely to replace my 3DS for gaming on the go.

    My only regret is not going for the Neon joycons but I am very impressed with it and have no buyers remorse.

    With regards to Zelda, has anyone played it on the Wii-U? How does it compare to the Switch. Zelda is the biggest reason to get it, but realistically its hard to justify buying a totally new system for one game.

    Yeah I got a grey replacement unit and after owning the neon for a few days, the grey just doesn't compare. Still good, but the neon really grew on me.

    There was a mix up with my order - I definitely ordered the grey one - I didn't open the box and brought it back to swap it for grey - my friend has the neon and I kind of regret it now.

    Many of you playing bomberman? Seems vastly overpriced but I can't wait for it to drop in price

    IGN reviewers said in that video Sligeach posted in the other thread that there isn't much difference at all between Wii U & Switch versions of BotW.

    I'm curious about Bomberman myself, haven't even seen it running, seems hard to justify the €€€

    I did it! Finally collected my switch and played snipperclips with the gf and her neice.

    A word about Nintendo's Account system: dumb.

    I had to change my email address to nollog from Nollog.
    The amount of facepalming i had to do that...

    The Account linked to my user but eshop refused my password because my email address had a capital letter.

    Maybe it's really difficult for Japanese developers(DeNA) to check for case, but damn.

    Hi guys - I have 5 32gb Sandisk micro SD cards - can I use them to store different games I download from the Nintendo Store or am I better off buying a 128gb or 256 sd card? Any help greatly appreciated.

    If you're comfortable with having to power the Switch completely off every time you want to swap game, its fine. Also, there may come a time that a game is larger than 32GB. Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2 is already 32GB download. Hope that helps.

    Thanks a million for your reply - looks like I will opt for a bigger mini SD card - I had no idea the games were that big.

    So charging and playing with a battery pack that outputs 2.4A seems to work for anyone who was looking into them

    Anyone try the charging grip? Wonder if it works for the disconnect issues since power is being provided to it

    Weirdly, I've found the controller disconnect occasionally with the left neon joy con, but don't think I've experienced it yet (touch wood) on the grey joy cons.

    Why Nintendo Switch games are ending up more expensive
    No Rime nor reason?

    On a side note, I'm not a fan of this thread's title.

    Many of us haven't made the Switch.

    Well fou n d one big issue with the switch. WiFi is absolute ****e. I've no problem connecting with any device but the switch rarely connects to the router downstairs and when it does the connection speed is awful. Have to undock it and sit beside the router to get a connection. Looks like I need to get the wired adapter.

    Wi-Fi is dodgy alright. Brought the Switch home to my parents' house at the weekend and couldn't get it to connect for love nor money. This was despite holding the console right next to the router. No problems with it in my own place mind.
