mdn2 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 People debating in the PS5 thread whether to go for the all digital console or not when there's still lovely physical versions of games being released. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudley Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Is that a physical version of the game though or is it a lovely box containing a quarter of the game once you download the patches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the full game. Just installed it and there's no patches for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudley Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Awesome. After Borderlands / Bioshock / Outer Worlds / Xcom I'm getting cynical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Guys - advice please. There are three of us who play the Switch regularly, but only one who is REALLY into Animal Crossing. She wants online to get all the fruits and other things, should I just get a standard 12 month online for £13ish or should I get a family one? I guess I’d quite like to play the SNES games but I could just do that on my daughters profile? Is there anything I’m missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you might as well only get the standard 12 month pass if only one of you is planning to go online. You'd just need to play the SNES/NES games on that profile like you say. You'd also have access to Tetris 99 which is awesome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxworth Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I originally had a single online account but when it came to renewal I changed to the family pass. It's not a huge amount of money and it just makes things much easier if someone else does want to have a go online and doesn't have to use just the one account. There's so many games that use online these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris_doe Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Just noticed my hori pro pad portable add on is drifting on the left stick...

Gigawatt Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Quick couple of questions for those who know the system better than me if you don’t mind. We have a standard Switch. My 7-year old daughter wants to get Animal Crossing. She has her own profile on the console that she can play it on. She also wants to save up and buy herself a Switch Lite (I’m so proud). 1. If I buy Animal Crossing on cartridge, is it possible for her to export her profile to a Switch Lite when she gets one, including her save games (for other games as well). 2. If I buy Animal Crossing digitally (which would be on my profile), is it possible to then sign in my profile on a Switch Lite when she gets one and redownload it for her to play? Plus export her profile as above. I’m leaning towards option 1 as that seems less faff. Cheers for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 1 - as the island is tied to the Switch no, I don’t think that would be possible; your daughter would have to start again on a new island. 2 - you could buy the game digitally through your account (assuming you haven’t already done so - you didn’t mention how you’re playing now) and sign in on the second Switch but it would be registered as your secondary Switch, I think, and this might place limitations on how freely your daughter can play games that due to this... but I’ll leave that for others to say as I don’t have first-hand experience of how it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigawatt Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks. I’ve never played an Animal Crossing before so no idea how it works. I think we’ll go for the cartridge option and she might just have to start again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlew Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 @Gigawatt That would be the best idea, yep. It's unfortunate to lose the progress but it's the only viable way given how Nintendo have set it up for AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdn2 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 She might not be happy depending how much progress she's made with her island though with the prospect of starting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gigawatt Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thanks all, I think persuading her to wait until she has her own one is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryptonian Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 @bradigor & @MikeBeaver is fixing the cart slot an easy job? It looks to have broken on my sons, I can’t see if the pins are bent or something, it’s not reading any carts though and I’ve tried cleaning the cartridges and blowing in the slot in case there was a build up of anything.

It is a separate board that is fairly simple to replace from what I understand.

MikeBeaver Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 It's REALLY easy, unclip some zif connectors, unscrew the screws, swap it out... test it ( as, depending where you get the cart connector from, it may or may not work, there's been dud's about before now ) put it back together and away you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptonian Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Thanks both - any recommendations where to get the part @MikeBeaver? I’m definitely going to mess up opening the console up I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie John Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Apart from Paper Mario, have any first-party, non-ported games been confirmed for this year, does anyone know? I'll end up getting the Mario collection, if it materialises, but surely Nintendo have got something in the bag for Q4, what with their two biggest competitors releasing new consoles, and all? Where's the E3 Direct equivalent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
