Ooh, I could be tempted by a new 13400, I have one now and it’s the perfect size for me.

I'm in the market for a bigger card myself. I've got around 50 games downloaded, probably ten first party or major releases and forty indies or arcade ports. I've had to delete the likes of Doom and RE Revelations 2 because they're too big for the amount of time I've found them interesting but I'd like to have them, as well as stuff like Bomberman, Lego City Undercover and that tier of third party stuff. They're very good in a certain context, just not in my top 50 when accounting for space!

 

That gives you an idea in terms of numbers, etc.

Don't go digital, retail games are expensive, you can't just setup your account on another machine and download your titles onto it and it's a massive headache if it breaks or gets stolen.

 

You're just doubling down on potential losses.

 

I'm with SMD on this one, ok, so you might lose A game card, compared to losing, breakin, etting your Sitch stolen, a single game is a much easier cost for replacement, and you can sell or trade it when you are done, I don't see the ease of selecting a game from the home screen being worth anywhere near the value of having a physical game cart that you can off load when you're done with it, and the carts tend to be heaper than most of the eShop titles anyway.

Switch eshop game lists are all well and good but the Switch remains a Zelda/Mario/Mario Cars/Splatoon machine first and foremost. Get them on the eshop before anything else if you’re going digital. 

 

Everything else has been second tier compared to these games. 

 

Erm, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is waving at you, telling you you're wrong :p

I'm all digital bar Zelda, and the main reason for me, I was awful for buying a game for £50, playing it for 15 minutes, then selling it on here for £40 a couple of days later. I've found myself dipping back in to games I guarantee I would have sold by now because they're there. Season passes to, very often I used to buy a season pass then sell the game before the DLC came out like an absolute moron. 

 

Price can be a problem though, LA Noire for instance I had the choice of paying £20 for the cart or £45 for the download.

I have to admit, I don't like cartridges. I wonder how many cart swaps that little flap will hold up to. It's a bit of a change for me, mostly digital on my other consoles. I just tend to find there's much better deals on digital if you're prepared to wait. 

 

I never sell anything though, so perhaps I'm not the best example.

I'd rather have Diabolo switch if they're going to do anything.

 

I still hope this is happening. Fingers crossed it gets announced over the next week.

Same here - I have a 128GB card at the mo, but it's not got enough room left for Wolfenstein II which I quite fancy.... (RE:R 2 really does take up a lot of room!)

 

I'm currently keeping a close eye on the 256GB cards on Amazon - http://amzn.eu/33ycyFN - seems like £75-80 is the best rate.

I don't get this - with digital you can never lose, so there is zero cost. If you get a new Switch, you just download your games again, you don't have to pay for replacements.

That Paladins port doesn't look bad at all. I mean I'm not a fan of the game's artstyle myself and it's never been a particular looker but to see that it runs at near steady 60fps on the Switch is really impressive I think. Doesn't seem to skimp out on resolution either.

Coming later this year apparently.

It's going to be available free to play in the "summer" - so not far off at all.

 

Also, if you buy it via the Mexican eshop it's only £13.

They best not pull that shit on Fortnite!

 

I'm fairly confident it'll be free but it probably means that you won't be able to crossplay Switch/PS4, which sucks. Sort it out Sony, you tools.

Fair play to Hi-Rez, looks like they've put the effort in with that port, I'll probably dive in and support them at launch. I enjoyed my time with it on PS4, and having access to all the Champions would be nice. :)

 

Played quite a bit of it on PC and Xbox, it's ok but I won't be paying. Just not my thing, like Overwatch isn't my thing either.

 

Smite on the other hand...I love that game and hope it comes to Switch too. I've paid for quite a few skins and gems on that and if you really enjoy Paladins then Hi-Rez is a great company to support.

I'll be buying the Paladins founders pack because I can't wait to get my Ying on in the garden.

 

It doesn't stop delaying F2P being a stupid and damaging idea though. The early access angle is redundant too when you're playing against Xbox players.

Not at all. It's not about being difficult, it just happens to be. That's mostly shit marketing stuff. Maybe the best game ever in a number of ways. Not very demo worthy though. 


Pretty much, it's not overly difficult, a lot of it is about taking your time, learning how the enemies attack and responding accordingly. Most fuck ups occur when you're rushing things, in my experience at least.

There will be a demo of sorts when they do the Network Test, so check that out for a taster. :)
