Quick question, does this look good value for a 200gb memory card?

Its not a bad price, but be wary of fake cards from Amazon.

It should be fine from Amazon themselves.

Tell that to the 64GB cards we got at work a couple of months ago.

[Super Craig]

Amazon let sellers send their stock into the Amazon warehouse and it all gets added to the same pile apparently. So an Amazon-fulfilled order could have fakes.

Jesus. Nintendo can be so backwards at times. I bought an SD card. Can I transfer my stuff to it? No. I have to delete it then redownload it to the SD card. What? Why is that a thing? If it's to prevent fucking hacking, then they really are shit. Just shit.

Daft question, but how do you spot a fake?

You often can't until you find it registers at a much lower capacity when you reformat it.

Why do you need free space on the actual Switch?

To weigh it down.

[R0b]

I genuinely think it might be.

If you still have the sensor bar from the Wii/Wii U, it can recieve Hi-Hat inputs from water spurts after piercing the bottle lids with a needle*.

Well I thought Ian Livingstone did those game books, I used to love them years ago. Firetop Mountain was one of those books. This however, I have no idea. 

[Sarlaccfood]

I'll take a punt and say Waverace confirmed then! 

 

Will let Eurogamer know....

It's a port of the Fighting Fantasy Classics app on iOS (don't know about android).

There's a small selection of the Fighting Fantasy role-playing books on there. Think it would work better on a smartphone than a Switch to be honest.

I'm assuming it's a port of this:

DOES THAT MEAN I'M FINALLY GETTING THAT YELLOW REMAKE? ON SWITCH NO LESS?!  

[Mitchell]

I was just going to post a similar tweet:

 

 

...and I see EG have just put up a news story with some thoughts about what it might be (maybe a kind of Yellow remake).

[mdn2]

I like the fact they've come up with a title which includes 'Pokemon' and 'Go'.

Don't read this @rgraves, you'll get so angry. :p

[Radish]

That was my immediate thought when reading the Eurogamer "article"  It didn't bother me at first but they're doing this increasingly often.

Last year, I heard from sources familiar with the project that the game would indeed be set in Kanto and be a sort-of remake of Pokémon Yellow.

 

[Azrael]

Would quite like some cross over between Pokemon Switch and  Pokemon Go (which I'm still addicted too). But want more than just a remake of Pokemon Yellow - region wise and 'mon-wise. 

 

Had my dreams on something  close to BoTW in scale and multiple regions to explore.

That just gave me an erection. 

 

Yeah a Yellow Clone isnt enough for me, this will be their first Console Pokemon, it needs to be something special, if it is sort of open world and vast I'd love a Pokemon Snap mode, enjoyed that game more than I should admit

*looks at how long BotW was in development*

Yeah, that was never gonna be what this first Pokemon on Switch was gonna be like, sadly.
