October 17, 20187 yr If you're interested in Dead Cells, pick up Chasm. Like a cross between Metroid and Steamworld Dig.
November 21, 20187 yr Warframe is out on Switch. It's a free to play, coop sci-fi shooter, kind of like Destiny. You can play online without paying the Nintendo service, and you can voice chat online without using Nintendo's phone app. All through the game itself. I've messed around with the first couple of tutorial missions and it seems to run pretty good. Trying to get used to the controls, but seems good so far.
December 6, 20187 yr PSA: Nintendo offering some pretty incredible price drops on some of the digital content: https://www.nintendo.com/games/sales-and-deals;jsessionid=BDCE7F7E527B9FB42FC7E4B3EDC565CF
December 7, 20187 yr yeah great prices on diablo 3 and skyrim. just make sure you have a good sized sd card for the switch
December 12, 20187 yr Anyone buy Smash Ultimate? I played N64 smash a ton back in my childhood and this is the first one I've played for any decent period of time since then. I'm having a good time! So many characters though it can be overwhelming. Right now I've unlocked about 51 in total. I haven't played online yet, still trying to learn moves and find a few characters I enjoy. I tried out Simon for a while but now have been playing lots of Roy and that is going much better. Some of the challengers to unlock are pretty obnoxious/difficult. So are some of the fights in the adventure mode.
December 13, 20187 yr I downloaded Smash tonight. This is the first Smash game I've ever played. I've only unlocked maybe 3 more characters. Trying to learn how to control and how the combos work so I've only played single player on easy. But it's lots of fun. I've done a few fights in the adventure mode and a few in classic mode.

Hopefully Smash and Mario vs Rabbids will get him off Fortnite for a little bit.
December 14, 20187 yr Author Downloaded the Atari compilation today. 150 games. Arcade, 2600, and 5200 ones. Going to relive my childhood for a bit. Missile Command and Asteroids, here I come. Really like the Switch for retro gaming.

December 23, 20187 yr Diablo 3 is a lot of fun.Can you do cross platform with Xbox One? If so, we'll grift.

December 24, 20187 yr Author I grabbed it. 20 bucks for The Eternal Collection. I'll add you. My username is Pointmonger.
December 24, 20187 yr Man the switch is cool. I didn't realize it was that cheap until I asked my brother how much he paid for his yesterday. We had 4 player Smash going on and it was a lot of fun. I like seeing how they have Mario, Crash Bandicoot, Kirby, and Donkey Kong platformers with Luigi's Mansion coming out too. I may have to pick one up. Edited December 24, 20187 yr by SimonBolivar
December 24, 20187 yr It's also great for smaller indie game ports from the PC. Several of the better ones I already had on PC and can't bring myself to pay for them again but I wish I could play on the switch.
December 26, 20186 yr Picked up a switch plus Smash and Odyssey on my lunch break today. I hope it wasn't a wasted $400.00.
December 26, 20186 yr Finally joined the club. My wife surprised me with a Switch and a copy of Breath of the Wild yesterday. On a funny note, I got the same main Xmas present as my niece and nephews, who are 7 and 4, respectively. I'm 34.

December 27, 20186 yr Played it for awhile on Christmas with my nephew. Pretty badass. I think I'm gonna pull the trigger now
December 27, 20186 yr Yeah so even just playing the NES games was great. Played some smash with the misses. I'm going to pick up some odyssey before bed.

December 29, 20186 yr Used some Christmas eShop cards to get Mario Party and Civilization 6. Both seem very good so far. It will be nice to play a few turns of Civ at a time and quickly pick it up and out it down without having to load it all up on the PC.
December 30, 20186 yr I grabbed it. 20 bucks for The Eternal Collection. I'll add you. My username is Pointmonger.I should be back tonight, so I'll be available to blow some shit up.I have to warn you though, I'm kind of a big deal.
December 30, 20186 yr Author I'm not. Still leveling up. Had to work this week. Didn't get any time in. Edited December 30, 20186 yr by Deej
December 31, 20186 yr If I catch you on I can drag you through a couple of rifts. One rift is good for 0-lvl46. It plateaus hard, but can get you to 70 in about 2 hours.
December 31, 20186 yr Author Sounds good. I will probably be on the latter half of this week and weekend. Then out of town for a week.
January 2, 20196 yr Anyone got a rec for a Switch pro controller that doesn't cost $70? It's taking me longer than usual to get used to the controls trying to play BOTW with the joy-cons. Just so different than what I'm used to on PS4.
January 2, 20196 yr there's been some occasional deals on them over the holidays. Put in a keyword alert on slickdeals.net and watch your inbox to pounce when you get a notification. here's one that's still active Nintendo Switch Pro Controller $52.95 + Free Shipping https://www.massgenie.com/nintendo-switch-pro-controller-black-s5zalyhtc5pkvcr5
January 2, 20196 yr I finally bought a pro controller after using the normal ones for a year and a half. Mostly for Smash. It really is a lot more comfortable. I never had an issue with the button sizes but my pinkie fingers would cramp after a while for some reason holding the thing up. The pro con lets those fingers rest more naturally.
January 3, 20196 yr I bought a wired one for $25ish IIRC. Dunno of it was on sale or not, but works great.
January 3, 20196 yr Yeah, I think I may just get a wired one as well. No need to worry about keeping it charged or anything.
January 3, 20196 yr It’s worked well for me so far. Cords don’t bother me, so it wasn’t a big deal. Works just fine although there are some obvious disadvantages with any pro controller (wired or not) in some games that allow for special moves based on motion.
January 12, 20196 yr I've got a little playtime with it now and Civ 6 on Switch is solid. Good port. Controls are done well.
January 21, 20196 yr Anyone having problems with the controller? The original one started panning up for no reason and on the second set, the A button occasionally stops working.
January 22, 20196 yr Panning is a calibration issue. There’s info on google. Dunno about the A button. I think the article said calibration issue happens if the stick is out of position whennthe system is turned on. I’ve had it happen on my pro controller a couple times when I wasn’t paying attention. First time fresked me out.

February 14, 20196 yr Looking forward to Mario Maker 2. I never bought the original on Wii U because I figured they'd come out with a version for the Switch, just took a lot longer than I anticipated.
February 14, 20196 yr We got our kids one for xmas. We play Mario cart and Mario party as a family. Good family fun (although I think my wife is now more addicted then our kids)
