NINTENDO SWITCH Official Discussion v3: Still noobs at online gaming

[doomrider7]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Special Edition Pre-Order is up for pre-order at Amazon and GS for those interested.

 

[Dizzy]

Decided to preorder the Mario Odyssey Edition.

Finally a good enough lineup of games to justify a purchase.

I’m thinking about it because I travel so much. Is it with buying if you’re going to use it 90% handheld vs 10% on a TV? Is it Bluetooth enabled (Bose QC35s).

Anyone have a suggestion in terms of SD card size? Obviously if I'm getting the Odyssey bundle I'll have to download the game but I plan on buying physical for all major releases. There are quite a few eshop games I'd like as well.

I was thinking 64GB would get me by but I'm not so sure.

I think 64 will do you for quite a while.

I've got a 64 gig card and I've got

ARMS
Splatoon 2
Zelda
Golf Story
Stardew Valley
Flame In The Flood
Mr. Shifty
MK8
Binding of Isaac
NBA Playgrounds
Sonic Mania
Mario + Rabbids

and only Splatoon and Zelda are physical - I believe I still have about a bit less than half the memory card filled.

Wow, sounds like that's more than enough.

Good timing too, Amazon is having a Sandisk sale today.

Appreciate the input.

Went over my buddy and we connected our switches (3) and played 4-player Mario kart!.. I was a lot of fun.

This game looks right up my ally. I don't spend a ton of time on these indie games, but I love these action RPG's.


I'm still super butt hurt that the Secret of Mana remaster isn't coming to the Switch. Now I have to choose if I want portability on the Vita or couch co-op with the kid on the PS4. A Switch release would kill solve this problem.

The Odyssey bundle doesn't come with a physical copy of the game?? You get a download code? That's ridiculous.

You could buy two 64gb cards too... just saying. Usually 2 cards at 64gb is cheaper than 1 128gb card. Not always true, but something to check into.

Yeah, a lot of bundles don't come with a physical copy.

I'd probably do that down the road. I'll mostly just need it for the eshop titles.

Saw this trailer today and can tell it's a day 1 buy for me. Looks like a great action RPG that'll fill the top down Zelda void.

Not sure if serious. Just about every console bundle comes with a digital copy of the game already installed or with a code.

That's what I though but my PS4 pro destiny 2 bundle was a physical copy. I actually wanted the digital version but oh well..

 

[SwamiLeoni]

I travel a lot for work an am thinking about picking one up (Mario Odyssey). I have a PC & PS4 Pro but would mainly use this as a traveling handheld. Is it worth it just for that? Are there free games similar to the PS+? If so, it’ll be a Black Friday purchase for me. Christmas present to myself.

I've bought a switch "bundle" with Zelda for $360 2 weeks ago. I guess it was a store made bundle where they wanted to sell a game with every switch purchase. Either way, I got a physical copy of Zelda which is nice because of the lack of hd space on the switch.

For me, I am either travelling or out of the house most of the day, so it's totally worth it for me just for that. I have already put more hours into my switch than my PS4 and XB1 combined since I can now play in 5 to 10 minute increments during breaks or down time.

No free games like PS+.

It seems like it’s really great for plane rides and I’ve got the Bose QC35’s so that’s an extra plus. Switch + Mario + Zelda + Screen Shield is on Amazon for $440. But I’m guessing Black Friday will be the best day.
