Oh I don’t mean in general - the PSP was a massive success by any metric other than the tall order of beating the DS. I mean everything they’ve done since then in the handheld gaming space, from the premature PSP Go to the inexplicably orphaned PlayStation phones and their eventual abandonment of the Vita. They clearly now view handhelds as some impossible puzzle they’re not going to get involved in.

My switch died yesterday, it’s dead as a doorknob. Luckily my son doesn’t use his and so I’m buying it from him.  I assume that a lot of game data will be saved on the micro Sd but Is there a way of transferring game data that was on the console memory to this new console or will I be just left with having to start again on those games ?

If you have had Nintendo ONline, it's mostly backed up in the Cloud.

There's a special app on the Switch eShop required for transferring Animal Crossing data from one Switch to another. It's a bit like the 3DS system transfer, if any of you have (bad) memories of that. <_<

 

(Splatoon 2 is another game that also doesn't back-up save games to the Cloud, and there's almost certainly a few more that don't.)

“Psycho” in the title is most likely a botched transliteration of “Psychic”; a common trope with Japanese games titles of the era.

 

TBH, I’ve got a fairly decent Super Famicom games collection, but I’ve only heard of Psycho Dream because SNES Drunk covered it last summer. Quite an obscure choice.

 

I’m resigned to Nintendo having already released all of their big titles for the NES and Super NES services that they’re ever likely to, FWIW. A mix of popular classics and obscurities seems to have given away to just to releasing only less-well-known content.

My daughter wants to purchase a Switch for her hubbies birthday and is looking for me to make the purchase preferably immaculate second hand. I’m not clued up on the Switch so any model worth avoiding and anything worth looking for.

Also, I’m a bit bored of the Xbox right now. Got fed up of what’s over there and nothing really tickles my fancy until April.

 

I sat down at 8:30 with the switch for the first time in months. Just lost the entire evening to Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu.

Homeschooling my 8 year old this week, it's clear that so many of his classmates have Switches. At registration this morning, they were asked what they were up to during half term, and loads of answers included the likes of Mario Kart, Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion 3. As soon as school is over, he's in Team calls with his little friends to organise online games. It's definitely the console of choice for his age group! Nintendo getting them young! Also fun to see a couple of dads who play... one of them was insanely good at Mario Kart.

Hide and seek has become very popular in Animal Crossing between my daughter, her friends & her cousins - and just generally playing and chatting as they would normally but transported into the game.

Yep, they did that too. I’m jealous of children having access to so much cool tech!

It’s funny how despite being demonstrably the poorer online service Nintendo have the killer app in AC which makes their subscription nigh on essential, it’s a much lesser game offline - I don’t know how many subscribers they have but there must be an awful lot just off the back of that one game.

Are third part docks still a risk of bricking your switch? I really want a second dock for the upstairs tv. But the official is sooooo expensive. 


The very early dock with the shitty power regulator is long gone, your only worry now is “drop-in” docks. They need to have a loose USB plug to let the Switch drop in. and some third party ones are so loose the connections can short out. Anything where you’re connecting the Switch to the dock via a USB cable should be fine.

We have family membership purely because of AC. I originally just had one online account for me.
