Put Fisher on ignore.

Apart from 1 or 2 mini games that a fun the first once or twice, after that it all sucks all over the shop.


Thanks. I know it's crap and I'm going to leave well alone. You have given me strength.


What about Super Mario Party for something a bit better?


Yeah, that would be the obvious alternative, and by all accounts its the far more polished of the two.

Nintendo Life released a video with Alex talking about bringing a Virtual Console-like system to the Switch. It's nothing we haven't heard before, but it did get me thinking of alternate names for such a service, and it sort of resembles what Nintendo themselves have done for the NES games on the Online.

Nintendo Switch to NES
Nintendo Switch to Gamecube

It makes use of the modern console, the retro console the game originates from, and can effectively use the Switch branding and the 'click'. Think about it. Watching a Direct, "and now we have an announcement to make". The Switch logo appears with the click. But then it clicks again, and between the Joy-Con the logo of the NES appears. The Joy-Con close up again and click again. The SNES logo appears between them. Followed by every console they're doing for the 'Switch to' service - with each logo being designed to fit with the Switch branding.

It would only work for the Switch, but I have a feeling the Switch branding will be staying for a long while yet.

Got Super Mario Party today. Had a go with boyfriend in Wetherspoons when waiting for our meals, had blast playing but definitely needs joy cons strip ons to make them more comfortable!

Also I just want N64 games on switch. I don't care if if has different name or VC, just want my N64 games :(

Borrowed a mate’s pro controller today. That’s a nice bit of kit. Played a game of fortnite and came first. Then a game of paladins and smashed folk like never before. The sticks are so much more accurate.

Got me thinking though, why doesn’t the WiiU pro controller work with the switch? It’s basically the same controller. Nintendo have historically been really good at supporting older controllers, so why not this time?

I do t imagine there are a lot of them in the wild either, so not sure there too much risk of cannibalising pro controller sales.

Nintendo did a terrific job with controller compatibility on the Wii and Wii U... but it wasn't always appreciated, with "too many controllers" becoming a complaint from some folk. I guess that, with the new Switch branding, Nintendo wanted to create a clean break with the past.

With these added my list of indie wants on Switch has shrunk even more! I think the only older ones left I want are

Hotline Miami 1&2
Spelunky 1&2
Chroma Squad
Castle Crashers Remastered
Battle block Theatre

If you have one knocking around you want to make use of, there appears to be adapters available online for about 15 quid that lets you use the U Pro controller on a Switch. I'm thinking about getting one myself if I can fix my L trigger :roll:

I've been looking at Indie game reviews and videos. I really want Celeste, Blossom Tales and Hollow Knight now.

I can strongly recommend two of those, and that’s before O_R gets here.

Played Hollow Knight for about 4 hours and haven't been back :fp: I think I bought it relatively close to Monster Hunter, Destiny 2 Forsaken and Yakuza Kiwami 2 whit is probably the reason.
