Any new Switch recommendations?

just ordered trials of mana remake. went for the switch option as it looked almost identical to ps4 and its portable so i can take it with after my wife decides to cunt it up and chase me away from the tv. also played thru the remake
of link’s awaken back when this mess started, which was incredibly fun.

not for switch but I absolutely loved the ff7 remake. will be doing a second play thru in the future, i’m sure. defo had some issues with it, as i’m a looser purist, but on the whole it was stunning. replaying the original now, which was much easier to dive back into than I expected.

The mrs has been playing Animal Crossing lately. Doesn’t look like i’m getting my switch back any time soon.

Apparently Nintendo cut interest rates on the in game currency, forcing savers to “speculate on Turnips” according to the FT:

I’ve no idea what any of this means.

Amazing!

‘Thronebreaker’ on switch is a good one if you like The Witcher and tactical card games.

Just downloading Streets of Rage 4

Good fun. Bit more ‘button masher’ than I remember, but good fun.

Amps How’s Streets of Rage 4, Amps? Could do with some button bashing beat em ups.

Will any of you fuckers share your switch ID with me so I can destroy you in Mario Kart? One of my crowning achievements was earning all the Gold gear on there during the lockdown.

I played a fair bit of Secret of Mana on my SNES all those years ago… I just can’t do RPGs though, life is too short.

zackster

Amps Thats the one. Was my first RPG. Life might be short, buy quarantine will be loooong. Get on board!

‘Cities Skylines’ on switch which is basically Sim City on the SNES with up to date graphics. Really good if you’re into city builders.

mono-stereo my son plays this on the PS4. He loves it and watches YouTube videos and talks incessantly about it on our walks during the day. He’s 7!

But its better than Fortnite, I guess?

I only have a PS3, but any sporting game recommendations? Thought about migrating to the PS4 but I don’t play enough (and working so not at home like many). Might as well wait for the fucking 5 at this point.

mono-stereo

FabiParas fair play. Better off playing strategy games rather than mindless shoot em’ ups at that age I would of thought.

Shall we post our PS4 handles up? Maybe we could get a few PES games going

Like a true reflection of real life, I’m awful at PES and FIFA when it comes to playing the game properly against real people.

Still playing through the Uncharted series and RDR2, which I still haven’t finished about five months later lol. Also playing Limbo on the iPad while taking my daily shit.

Limbo is fucking great - you’ve got Inside to come yet too you lucky bastard.

What the fuck has happened to Somerville?

I’m with Amps on RPGs though. Boring, too much wondering about looking in cupboards and desks as a result of the game rationing ammo and medical packs and an inventory management system that’s a fucking nightmare

mono-stereo

Along_the_Wire same here.

Controversial opinion: i gave up on Zelda after a few hours as i couldn’t be arsed with all the fucking about.

Millsy

Along_the_Wire lol. Makes you feel like a Doris packing their clutch bag for a night out at Jester’s. ‘Do I need my sword of Oban to defeat the Orc Hordes of Retharon or should I just pack my glitter lippy?’

zackster

mono-stereo oh man. BOTW for Switch was an astounding game. If that’s the one you bailed on, you should give it another whirl.

You did better than me. I swerved it as it looked too much of a ballache
