Nintendo Switch Chat thread

Presumably the communication stuff is all coming in the voice chat app.

Was just thinking the other day that I need an Arms demo to see what it's like as I'm not 100% sold on it and lo and behold there's a demo on the eShop ready to download for it starting next weekend.

You could be right, Maf. I'm open to seeing how that works but also a little apprehensive. I don't have a smart phone (but I guess it'll work on my iPad?) and, to be honest, I think I'd rather communicate with pals via the console anyway.

Yeah, it arrived today. Had a little blast with the missus. Love Bomberman.

You really should have mumble and Discord set up on you iPad. You can use your PS4 earphones (the one that came with it) to chat to us.

Hey, Pedz, what do you think of it so far? It seems that it had a few technical issues at launch but the patch issued has brought it right up to scratch. Digital Foundry seemed to think it was pretty good now:

I think a few GRcadians have got this now... Qikz, Dev, Dragon, Pedz.. anyone else playing it? Multiplayer could be neat.

I haven't tried it out post-patch. Before it was very disappointing and far too difficult

Probs worth giving it a go, OR. By most accounts the controls work far better, the framerate has been improved, the difficulty options have been updated and there are some additional stages and items.

I've only done world 1 and had a little go of battle with the missus, seems good so far.

Yeah, I haven't got around to setting up voice chat. I just checked and Discord is listed onto the App Store so I'll take a look.

Cool stuff!

My copy of Super Bomberman R turned up yesterday! Does anyone play online from here?

I think that Qikz, Cheeky Dev, Dragon and Pedz have the game, Milner... and I will be getting it too as I've used a £15 Tesco voucher to make the price a bit more palatable :toot:

. I have never played Bomberman before* and I'd be keen to try the game out online with you chaps.

* Well, nothing beyond a few minutes of the PS1 and N64 versions.

Extra docks cost £80:

I was going to post that myself but I've been too busy laughing at it all day.

Ir really is ridiculous :lol:

. Even taking account of the power adapter being £25 (crazy) and a basic hdmi cable being included - lets say £10 as a crazy price - that means the plastic, very basic quality dock (which includes three USB connectors) is around £45.

Crazy, Crazier, CRAZIEST! :lol:

.

Edit: To be fair, it's not just Nintendo that do this. I had to get a stand for the PS4 Pro and that was £18 :fp:

.

It's upsetting because I really want to get one

This is the moment many GRcadians have been waiting for.

Possible leaked promotional art for the Mario x Rabbids game

That's not... real, is it?

This must be another example of a big publisher having a "special relationship" with Nintendo.

Ubisoft needs to get over their Rabbids obsession. Horrible characters.

Yeah, I don't see the attraction of them, either. But I guess that the games must be decent sellers?
