Is Grip (Rollcage style racing game) any good? It's currently £7 on the eshop. 

 

I loved the original rollcage but was told GRIP isn't good. I will revisit this...

 

EDIT: Apparently it struggles to achieve 30 FPS on the Switch, which is shocking. So that's what I didn't bother with it :(

I liked GRIP at first. As a kid I played a lot of the Rollcage demo and recently tried GRIP when it went free on some service this year. I'd kickstarted it years before its release but when that didn't reach its funding goal I lost the news trail.

 

I loved the first racing track and then suddenly out of nowhere Luther Vandross's delicious voice kicked in, conducting wild flips and reconnections with the tarmac before jetting off into the next weightless pirouette. For ten minutes I was in a wide-grinned flow that stands as one of the best things about games. Then I got off that first track and was faced with poorly telegraphed corners and unreadable routes with significantly worse design and the next two hours were miserable.

 

Still.

Finally got a Switch and loving it, but the joycons are too small for my hands to split them for 2 player Mario Kart. I got one of the 8bitdo adapters for my Dualshock, and though it seems to be pair, it won't respond to any inputs on the Switch. LED on the dongle is solid though, and the light is blue on the DS4. Tried with 2 controllers. I've emailed the support team, but wondered if anyone else had something similar and could offer advice. Have updated the adapter to the latest firmware and switched on the WIred Pro setting on the Switch.

Has anyone has any long-term issues with the Hori Split Pad Pro?  

 

Aside from issues with Labo or Ring Fit, has anyone had any comparability issues.  Obviously with Switch Lite out, all games should support this type of controller.  I'm just sick of sending back Joy-Cons to Nintendo.  I think I've had something like returns across 2 different pairs.

 

I know Nintendo haven't commented on this issue, but are newer Joy-Cons still crapping out with drift?  Touch wood, I've had no issues with my Lite, but my kids are getting bummed out that controllers need to keep on being sent back.

None, they're so good. Much more comfortable to hold, and the buttons and sticks are much better than the Joycons. I've had my Split Pads almost since they came out and I'll never use the Joycons again.

I had the same issue at first - I changed the USB port the adapter was connected to on the Switch and it started working as expected. 

Tried that, but may try again. Got a conversation going with support now so maybe they can help me out. Otherwise I'll try getting it replaced

I was gonna pop in to make a joke about what ancient game everyone was excited about getting re-released on Switch and, well, I couldn’t have timed it better. £49.99?
 

Never change Switch thread. Stick drift in 3, 2, 1...


You tell ‘em mate.

 

This thread should be more forward thinking like the other console threads, where everyone is excited about spending hundreds of pounds to play *checks notes*....old Xbox 360 games in 4K or a £70 remake of a PS3 game?

My Switch (a launch edition) is having a nightmare.  The charger no longer works, I have two pairs of Joy-Cons all with drift and the cartridge slot has stopped recognising certain games (they work in my Switch Lite).

 

Looks like I'm going to have to ship the entire lot back to Nintendo this week.  Boooo.

I didn't get much further past the second reactor on the PS4 Midgar game and that cost me more than all other combinations of these games combined.

 

Maybe i'm born with it, maybe it's 2020.

 

I bought the Ghostbusters game on Switch sale a week ago and haven't looked at it.

Is there a ‘best’ memory card for the Switch? Going to need to buy one soon.

 

No because whichever you buy will quickly be too small.

 

Any of the main brands should be fine, e.g. https://www.mymemory.co.uk/sandisk-128gb-ultra-micro-sd-card-sdxc-uhs-i-a1-100mb-s.html or https://www.mymemory.co.uk/samsung-512gb-evo-plus-micro-sd-card-sdxc-uhs-i-u3-adapter-100mb-s-16768.html. There's not much benefit in paying for the super-fast ones that cost more as the Switch can't make use of them. Just make sure it's at least UHS-I.

It's nice to now be part of this club. After playing on friends' Switches for too long, I finally got my own for my 33rd birthday - along with Super Mario Odyssey and BotW (which I had already actually caned on the Wii U but wanted again for portability/improved framerates.) But...my DAYS is Odyssey delightful! :o (Please forgive some early-impression-based gushing.) I remember reading some people were disappointed in the game back in 2017, and admittedly I have only done the first two worlds - but even if that was it, it would make the Switch worth it. Playing this now is like stepping into colour after years of some dour downpour. Even the way the music switches seamlessly from orchestral / high-bit-rate to an exact 8-bit rendition of said music for the 2D bits does my head in, every time. It's so obviously densely packed with love and imagination from the developers, the level design so far has been exceptional, and it controls perfectly. Beautiful, richly textured 60fps graphics packed with adorable flourishes. Can't believe how happy this software has made me in some difficult times. :) Guess that's the point of Nintendo games...!

Looking at getting a Switch for my son (6) for Christmas. What accessories would I need with it?

 

Something to stop it getting banged up - is there any case/skin that will protect against bumps/drops that doesn't affect taking the joycons on/off etc?

 

Memory card - assuming I can leave this a while? Would be mainly buying physical games.

 

Joycons / controllers - would want an extra controller or two of some description. Joycons are pretty expensive, are these recommended for a lot of games? If not, are there any recommended wireless controllers?

 

Anything else? Cheers!

Others can recommend a case better than I. I just have a little carry case mine goes in, but it wouldn't protect the console when it's in use.

 

With regards memory card and controllers, I'd just leave them for now until you need them. A lot of games will allow two players with just one set of joy-cons. Each player can take a joy-con, turn it on it's side, and have a tiny little controller of their own. And the system has 32GB built-in storage, which will rapidly soon enough (even if you are mostly buying physical games), but will keep you going for a little while at least without needing to buy a memory card.

 

You can often get decent deals on SD cards nowadays anyhow.

Has anyone got one of the Hori split pro controllers you can use like joycons? They look way more comfortable for handheld mode and are £15 cheaper than normal joycons. Is there a downside other than not being able to fit it in the case with them on?
