Anyone else got scratches on the edge of the switch, not on the screen itself but the metal coating part surrounding it? I've had it in and out of the dock less than five times (since I'm still waiting for a screen protector before trying it again) and already there are several small scratches.

 

After spending £320 on it, I'm considering taking it back. Why didn't they just go for an open dock with no front that the thing couldn't scratch against??

You're going to absolutely hate me. Mine's a right mess already!

 

The little plastic struts between the grill along the top edge have all snapped off except one, the kickstand on the back flaps around loosely, the joycons slide off without having to press the release buttons, a few of the face buttons are sticky and the left stick has drift, meaning Link wanders off on his own every now and again.

 

The joys of having a 4 year old who's obsessed with it.

 

You'll be happy to hear I haven't got any scratches on the screen though and he slams it in that dock at all kinds of angles, so there is that.

And this is why my kids only get to play the Switch in docked mode lol

I bought OceanHorn and really didn't get along with it. It looks pretty but very early on it basically says "Go here". There's no obvious way to get there, you have two more islands open and that's pretty much it. You're dropped in at the deep end with very little guidance.

I love SF Bags, really high quality gear, if anybody is looking for a larger Switch case to carry everything in (comes with a free Namco Museum code too, but guessing it will be for US store)

The only thing I need now is an adapter for when I want to connect to a friends television.

Any consensus on the best/'most portable ?

Bump. Is there such a device without buying a whole new nintendo dock?

So I have owned this console since launch way back in March.

 

It arrived on the Friday and I had to be on a plane to Sydney first thing the next morning. It was a blessing and a curse...That flight is usually so loooonnnggg... but it flew by (!). Zelda had me utterly transfixed for the entire journey - both there and coming back. And as someone that has never really got into Elder Scrolls - I became totally obsessed with exploring and mastering it. I have NEVER put as many hours into a game as I did that one. All told, 160 of them, and I'm still playing... And as many have said the jump to having a full, uncompromised game with you where ever you are... completely changed the way I play. Giving me gaming time back that would have been impossible before.

 

The downside to this, is I figured that would be it. The Switch would be a one game system for a very long time. Maybe always.

 

Then Mario Kart launched and despite owning the Wii U version - I was utterly addicted all over again. It gets everything sooo right. And my boys are the perfect age to join in.

 

And now Splatoon (which never appealed to me at all). I dont like online shooters and the art style turned me off from what I saw on the Wii U. How wrong I was though - its totally sublime and is the first game to show me the huge appeal of online warfare. I literally can't stop playing - and am always "one more go" 'ing it. Its taken up every night for the last week.

 

In summary I have spent more time playing the Switch this year than for the duration of owning both the Xbox One and PS4 combined. It nails everything for me as a gamer - from its portability to its power. I love the little thing in a way I never have previous consoles.. And my kids love it too...

 

Question for Rllmuk..... I didn't bother with "Arms" as I found the free demo laggy and a bit uncontrollable .... should I?
