My girlfriend and I recently played some Switch together, we hit Mario Kart hard and played some Ultimate Chicken Horse and the real winner was Heave Ho. 
 

Looking for some suggestions for this weekends action!

Sir this is a family forum.

 

I'm a fairly standard guy but what would Ultimate Chicken Horse equate to in a couple's weekend action?

I second The Stretchers and Snipper Clips. Both brilliant co-op games.

I finally bought a Pro controller this week. Out of the box, it didn't have any charge, so plugged it in and used it for a bit, seemed great. The next day, I tried to use it wirelessly, and it would keep disconnecting and turning off, every minute or two. The console reported it was fully charged, then 5 minutes later, that it had no charge left. I was about to send it back when I noticed that I could cause it to disconnect by gently shaking it, suggesting a loose connection - I opened it up, and the battery did have a little room to slide back and break connection with the contacts. So I taped some cardboard to the side of the battery to wedge it in firmly, and it's been fine since.

 

Anyway, just posting 1) in case anyone else sees the same behaviour and wants a quick fix, and 2) c'mon Nintendo, you can do better than this for a £55 controller!

Probably. I don't think Nintendo dropped the price of the Wii for years either. Also the PlayStation and Xbox lines launch as complex machines that cost a fortune to make for almost no profit, so creating cheaper, easier-to-manufacture revisions is a normal part of their life cycle. Nintendo tends to avoid that and produces a console that's going to cost about the same to make and sell for the entire span of its existence.

I had a little go on Zelda again the other day, but my switch is so unused it's shameful.

 

Can someone recommend some games, please? The store is full of shovelware and I find it very difficult to know what is genuinely good.

 

I like:

Racing games (not bloody mariokart plz, I have it)

I have some shmups

Generally not a huge JRPG fan

I love "arcade games" like with the Dreamcast. Local multiplayer would be great.

 

I am not that bothered about their IP, Zelda is alright but feels a bit pointless/aimless at times. Mario... it's OK. 

 

Appreciate some tips/recommendations.

My all time favourite indie game is on the Switch:

 

https://store-jp.nintendo.com/list/software/70010000021588.html

 

One glance at the screens and a lot of people usually apprehensive regarding bullet hell would be turned away. It actually has one of the best learning curves I can remember. You're always having lots of fun while you improve.

"Hmm, this game isn't really that hard after all!"

Looks at clock.

"Yeah, maybe because I've just done five hours solid without realising!"

Have you tried Virtua Racing? It’s fantastic, and should be right up your alley if you like racing games and arcade games.

Last played that in '95 I think! On a 32X in Addenbrookes, with my best friend. Good shout, thank you.

Mr Driller on Switch is a work of absolute genius design.  The Indiana Jones level where rocks roll after you is outstanding, and every mode feels new and original.  They took the basic Mr Driller and added all these new modes which should feel tacked-on, but they are all marvellous.

Hades? Possibly the GOTY!
