I got the official one. Seems good to me so far.

no i was thinking that myself. Did they say it was an unannounced game they were seeing or one not shown off yet? I was thinking Xenoblade 2

I would get the official one yeah. I got this monstrosity because it was cheap and hate it and now need to buy the official one (because I can't afford the City slicker one but am a vain bastard)

 

 

YUK!

Should be vain, rather than vein. Hilarious.

I have the HORI Tough Case. I've used it since launch to bring my Switch to work to play on breaks, and it hasn't let me down yet. Lives up to its name.

Where do the Rizla's and Levellers CDs go?

[fasteasyfree]

Cheers people!

 

I'll have to break my credit card out again.

Tell you what though, those yellow joycons look lush. Bet they're incredible in the flesh. Just been looking for a pair on Amazon even though I already have a pair of greys and a pair of neons and no friends.

I went for the cheapest I could find

Was a fiver when I ordered and it seems decent enough for me, most of the time my switch stays at home anyway!

That's a pretty bourgeois crusty I'd say.

Just get a screen protector, no need for a case. 

[Nathan Wind]

I'm very tempted by those neon yellow controllers.  Has it been confirmed these newer ones are now safe from the desync problems?   My grey ones are shit.  I need to send them in, really.  Do they ask for proof of purchase?  I bought my Switch off Lorf so I don't have a receipt.

[Stanley]

Apparently someone with the new yellow ones was also complaining about them losing signal.

I got this one: http://amzn.eu/gjToZxX

 

£8:99 and absolutely excellent IMO - I'm very happy with it (don't use the pockets to hold the joy-con, that's nuts. Just move them and it's perfect to store everything in the case itself).

[mr twig]

Don't think anyone's mentioned yet, but Tumbleseed is on sale for a third off at the moment (£8.03).

I never played it when it was too hard, but apparently they've patched it all better now.

[rgraves]

Apparently 'Severed' has been stealth released today on Switch (£13:50) - anyone want to check the eShop to see if that's true?

Hmmm, looks like it's touch screen controls only - no support for docked mode at all.

[Not Thread Owner]

It's a touch screen game. How else would you play?

[Bojangle]

[Stanley]

I'm glad that they're allowing games which support touch screen play. They're not forcing some daft rule which would prevent certain games, like this one, from ever reaching the console.

New ones aren't safer and you need proof of purchase.

Use gyro - like they have done for World of Goo maybe? I dunno!

Erm, that really wouldn't work for this. Imagine playing Fruit Ninja with motion controls.

OK. It wasn't a criticism, just more pointing it out FYI really - might catch some people that they can't actually play it on their TV.

Can't watch that for moral reasons. What happens? If it's flailing around in VR as the title suggests, that's not motion control. It's still just swiping.
