Nintendo Switch

Thanks. Good man. I'm finally ready to move into the spare room.

First think I bought was a spare Nintendo charger. It’s brilliant - no stresses about how fast it’s charging it, and means I never need to mess around taking cables out of the dock.

 

I clicked and collected one from Tesco yesterday. Today I noticed a photograph on the box of the fucker plugged into the back of the dock. Just the exact same as the fucking thing I’ve already got. I took it straight fucking back so I could get my £25 back.

If your Switch is completely dead in terms of battery and you connect it to the TV dock, does it work, or do you have to wait some time until the battery has some juice?

I really wish there was a decent driving game on the system. I bought an Xbox almost entirely to play Forza Horizon and while I don't necessarily expect anything on that scale there is nothing decent at all.

I know what you mean. Mario Kart is ace but after that there’s nothing much

V Rally is coming out in September I believe.

Ridge Racer on mobile is pretty nice.

If you want driving games on a handheld, a PS Vita with Gran Turismo PSP and Gran Turismo Sport (via remote play) remains the only decent choice.

 

Yes, but I’m not buying another gaming system. I’m Nintendo monogamous now.

I hadn’t heard that, I used to love V Rally.

 

The ‘problem’ with the switch is that it’s reignited my love for gaming and also makes me yearn for amazing past gaming experiences. Sega Rally, Daytona, F355, MSR, PGR would all be very welcome!

Thanks, Downloading now, but typically support for it stopped on the 2nd of this month (not sure if it’s fully playable without in-app purchases) but will soon find out...

I did the same, and feel the same.

Pretty sure Ridge Racer is confirmed / in development which will make me more than happy, providing it's less like Unbounded and more like 6/7.

 

Ok, so it's never going to happen but... PGR on Switch...  My favourite racer on my favourite (I think) console.  Mine = blown.

Can anyone read Japanese? Treasure tweet a picture of a Switch. I'm grossly tumescent. 

 

It's pretty clear from the reflection on the screen, and the screen orientation.

[Let us measure]

They're banging on about the pros and cons of playing in tate mode on some small stand they picked up from the Japanese equivalent of poundland. But yes we're blatantly supposed to be noticing the reflections here.

Coming to Switch later as well.

Had my eye on this for some time, wonder how long after May 29th Switch will get it? 

[jonamok]

Whenever that comes to Swich I already know it will be my new obsession. Looks absolutely bloody phenomenal!

Merci, Poirot.

Is that Fast Racing Neo port for the Switch any good, speaking of racing games? I never got it on the Wii U.

[freezycold]

It's fine.

[Majora]

It's ok but the rubberband AI is infuriating once you get past easy difficulty and the track design is a bit flat. Not a patch on its inspiration but it's not terrible.

[Marlew]

Not really, no. It feels like a mobile game in terms of controls and mechanics, pretty simplistic. It doesn't have the inertia or flow or weight of Wipeout, simple as that. It does feel fast and looks pretty good but it's not fun.

 

There are also a load of balance issues and rubber banding and stuff and mad difficulty spikes. Not worth it. 

[Jamie John]

Ah. I'll take it off my wish list then.

I don't get it, if you're going to go to all that trouble why not just plug it into a small telly 2ft away from you? It's hardly still portable if you have to rest it on your lap to play it anyway. 

 

Its a no from me.  

[Stanley]

Good thing with that setup is you can use it for any console (even using the joycons) so a portable PS4pro, Xbox One X etc. Seems entirely pointless for Switch though.

[Dark Soldier]

So Football Manager on Switch then. Bye bye life.

What a strange trailer. "Here's what you do in the game. Now we're going to build up tension that the game'll change into doing... oh, still the same thing we described initially."

 

Looks fun though! Should be great for handheld sessions.

Anyone using a Melopow Switch to HDMI adapter since the latest bout of Switch firmware updates?

 

I read online that some 3rd party docks are damaging Switches now!!

Ive not dared to plug mine in again yet...

[Colonel Panic]

@rgraves Ditto, I'm done using mine. I might look at one of the replacement casings for the existing dock instead, I shuttle mine in and out of work enough to justify it.
