[Coolcongo]

[McCoy]

Yep, like the look of that but £40!

Nintendo have always been robbers with their accessories.

Love the look of this. Anyone play it on the PC?

 

 

 

[Stanley]

40 fucking quid for that case!

Yeah, played it with a couple of friends a couple of years back. It was a moderately entertaining evening, but I don't think I would have ever remembered playing it if no-one reminded me the game existed. The only concrete detail I do remember is the game using a Stranger Things style title sequence at the beginning of each story. More vaguely, I remember at least one of the stories being quite cool.

Looks like a Pikmin 3 port is on the way sooner rather than later.

Is it worth getting Tetris 99 on cart with 12 months of Nintendo online for £20.99 or should I get just 12 months of Nintendo online and download Tetris?

It’s £17.99 at Game if you have one close.

Never played 3, or 2 for that matter. Loved the first one, is it any good?

Nearest is 30 miles.

[geldra]

Well, I’d still go physical as you get the DLC which isn’t free with the free version.  (Think it’s about £8)

[Avuncular]

What's the DLC?

Top 10 game of the decade.

How well do the Phoenix Wright games translate to the Switch for those of you who have played it on that and the DS?

I only played the first one on the DS and really enjoyed it.

 

I prefer them on the DS / 3DS.  They are easier on the Switch and PS4 when you are examining a scene for clues, as it shows you places you have already questioned.  Maybe it was because they were new to me when I played them on the DS, so it you haven't played 2 and 3, they might be just as good.

I played the first story on PC (The Text adventure) and really enjoyed it. I then drifted onto something else and I'm not sure why. I'd be wary if it has a high switch tax though. I suspect it might be quite short.

[Droo]

Hey chaps.

 

This question may have been answered already, but if I buy a switch lite and have my switch plugged in elsewhere. Do save games sync up?

[Stanley]

Provided they’re both connected to the internet and you have Switch Online, yeah. 

[Yasawas]

I can't find the post now but did I see someone (I think it was @joffocakes) recommending this Saturn pad for fighters?

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Retro-Bit-Official-Wireless-Playstation-Raspberry/dp/B07Y5M8R41/ref=cm_wl_huc_item

 

For something I can use with my Pi setup too that would be ideal. I fucking love the JoyCons but it's the one genre they let themselves down with.

[joffocakes]

Yeah; cant speak for the retro-bit one (I remember they were making a Saturn pad with two analogue sticks too?) but 8bitdo makes a one called the M30 which has a terrific dpad for fighters.

 

Theres a couple of versions but this is the one which works on Switch:

I also have an 8bit-do Saturn pad for reliving my youth playing SFA2 on 30th anniversary collection. 

I keep meaning to look at sticks for the switch as I had a stick for my Saturn which is how I used to play. 

 

Edit: the M30 is a great pad btw

I made a post about sticks I have earlier in the week:

 

 

This G Bros wireless converter is another thing I have, the Wii Tatsunoko vs Capcom stick works with it as well as Gamecube controllers/Wii Classic Controllers.

And they’re not one of the games (like Pokemon) that doesn’t.

[Yasawas]

Cheers @joffocakes @Gloomy Andy! I'll have a wee think then. I do like the 8bitdo controllers I already have a lot and £20 is a hard price to beat for what is ultimately a fairly minor part of my gaming these days.

 

 

 

 

 

Or... I just buy both like a twat so I can do local competitive with decent controllers.
