Could buying versions from other territories be an issue when they start charging for online play?

I think that it will be. I remember reading that the online fee would apply to each account, not system.

I'd have thought so as the sub would be on account not a console so you would need multiple subs

Given the fact I could make a UK account and play any of the games I own I would doubt it. It's the system you buy the games for and the account you pay for online for.

V3.0.0 firmware is out.

I was readying my body for extra stability... but there are actually some great enhancements in this update

General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience, including:

I'm particularly pleased about the HDMI switching issue fix as, whilst I have been played by PES on my PS4, the screen has sometimes blacked out for a second because - I think - the Switch was re-charging and causing a temporary picture change. I will have to test this and see!

I also suffered the HDMI switching issue, glad to hear it's been addressed.

Halfway to keyboard and mouse controls

At last the Switch has its system selling game! I'm going to buy one just so I can find the controllers!

Don't give Nintendo ideas. This feature could form the basis of Switch 1 2 Too! for £39.99.

Anyone noticed improvements to Switches wifi signal after the update? GAF seems to suggest it has improved it, i tried it last night whilst docked which i've always had a problem with it connecting and it seems to be picking up the signal bow which is great.

Only problem i do have is when trying to watch the trailers on the News Channel, they just buffer constantly its like watching a stop motion video! Anyone else experience this?

Yeah, Milner, the videos on the news and eShop nearly always buffer and it is the same on the Wii U. I suspect Nintendo are using an old 386 PC as their server.

Ahah I hear you Tommy/Jonny, I want to go mostly digital on Switch but I'm going physical if it's cheaper (or for big single player first party releases like Mario/Zelda). ARMS is a game I'd rather have pre-installed without having to swap carts, but I'm not paying considerably more for the privilege :/

I think I'll pick up a switch for my son's Christmas present this year.

His first console :wub:

Hori's voice chat system is launching alongside Splatoon 2 in Japan.

I'm just hoping that Nntendo's official solution is a lot - a lot - better than that.

So I guess the app is being launched for Splatoon 2 then.

My lad was saying he wanted one, too. In fairness, to the untrained ear, it sounded a lot like the word 'mah' shouted over and over again, followed by an infectious/hysterical laugh, but I'm pretty sure that means 'I want a switch'.

Do these cards work with Switch too?

If so, you could get two £25 cards, with the 5% Facebook-like discount, for £45.60.

Makes the download version more or less the same price as physical. That's what I'd do.

I already bought it! You're too slow rinks.
