Nintendo Switch #4: More than 1 year later

[S E P H]

Alright lads, update from by bro. He found a YT video explaining how to switch save games without needing their online subscription if you have both devices (Switch and Lite). One of the major games was Pokemon Sword/Shield which hilariously doesn't allow a cloud version of it, but what he did was have both devices close to each other and you can transfer it wirelessly.

E-shop has a really good bunch of sales going on right now! Lot's of big name games on sale from 30-50% off! Would recommend taking a look!

Has anyone played the Witcher 3 on their Switch? After reading games of the decade lists, I want to give it a try. I also have a PS4 I could dust off if it's much better on that, but I would prefer to play it on my switch

Everybody says it is very impressive.

My guess is that playing in handheld is the way to go: smaller screen and lower resolution.

 

[EpochLink]

Hmmmm..I'm slowly leaning towards the Switch.
I said I would get one couple months ago but I do like the handheld feature.

If you are going to be playing it on your tv I would get it for the PS4. If you are looking to bring it around, then yeah, get it for the Switch.

I got it for the switch today and I’m waiting for it to download. Also got some LEGO games that I’m hoping are like the old LEGO Star Wars games for nostalgic purposes. All for 55 so that’s fun.

So my Switch is getting pretty full in terms of storage. Which SD cards do people recommend? Hopefully going to order one over the weekend!

The cheap SanDisk microSDs work very well to my knowledge. No need to spend the big bucks on the overpriced Nintendo branded ones, honestly.

As Commander Clueless said, there's no reason to go overboard here. If you know the brand, odds are you'll be fine. The biggest differences with those cards don't really change much for the Switch and there's no difference between the Switch branded cards and that same card without the logos at a cheaper price.

Just got the switch and a big fan of the elder scrolls franchise. But unfortunately when i got skyrim for the ps3 my ex made me return it cause i got to consumed in it and never finished it.

Does it port well to the Switch?

Yeah I got a sandisk and it works fine

Anyone find any recent gems in terms of Indie titles recently? I have now played most of the big ones I wanted to and looking to broaden my horizons...

How recent? This year specifically or within the past few? Does Into the Breach count as one of the big ones?

Downwell has flown criminally under the radar, IMO (and it's only $3 and isn't a huge time investment, so there's no excuse not to give it a real shot). It's one of the most elegantly crafted yet simple games of the decade, in my opinion. As I mentioned in another thread, I genuinely think it's a tighter game than Hollow Knight, which might be blasphemy to a lot of people.

Can be from any time really. I was just trying to cancel out the really big ones; Celeste, Wargroove, Dead Cells, golf story, etc.

Things that fly under the radar are great recommendations!

Going to be getting Fire Emblem soon and I'm wondering what all the expansion pass adds and if it's worth the extra amount?

Right now it doesn’t add much. You get a new character, new outfits, some stat boosting things, and a different type of battle. There’s supposed to be an added expansion later this year. I would get it just because it adds an extra layer but I also think this is one of the best games made this year so it’s fine either way.

the newest path releases Feb 12th.
I honestly think for me - the 30ish dollars i paid was worth it and it just gives you a lot of stuff. there are some people who were fine without it.

 

[robertmac43]

Anybody grab anything good over the Holiday sale?

Wait, new path?

Welp, there's another play through.

Entirely speculation on my part (maybe just a guess) I think Rhea becomes controllable and your main character. It just seems weird to me there is a support option between her and Byleth but not recruitment option.

Edit: never mind just looked it up. I was wrong.

Any beginning tips for a Fire Emblem noob? I've only played a few hours so far, enough to have the intro battle and look around the monastery, I ended up picking Black Eagles.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Here’s a whole thread for the game. Should be some good tips there!

For quality indies, I will always recommend Risk of Rain.

The 2nd one? How is the play quality on the switch? I heard when it was released it was iffy.
