Just had to pick up Hotline Miami in the sale.
Cracking game with a good lifespan. First is better than second in my opinion but both are great.

I played them on the Vita and PS4, I absolutely loved the first one but yeah the second is not as good but still decent.

Is there an easy way to copy the contents of one SD card to another? Or is it a case of re-downloading everything again? Reckon I’ll need a bigger SD card at some point in the future so might get myself one in the Black Friday sales this year.

You can copy the files across via PC. There is a procedure - I believe you have to format your second SD card in the switch before adding the files - but from memory it's all fairly straightforward.

Obviously you have to make sure the new card goes in the same console.

I'd go for multiples of 256GB cards. The idea of losing a 1TB one down the sofa...

Sounds pretty straightforward then! I’ll probably watch a tutorial on YouTube as well before I do it to make sure.

Wouldn’t that mean also losing the actual Switch down the sofa too?

I see your point.
And its better than my point

I used this guide last time I did it, and it worked fine.

Thanks, sounds pretty simple thankfully!

I've got some gold points to spend in the eshop. Thinking maybe Dragon's Dogma, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 1 or 2, or Castlevania Advance Collection. Any thoughts/recommendations?

I haven't played the second CotM but the first is definitely worth a go, really solid homage to classic castlevania and plenty of replayability with different modes and endings.
(I also really, really love the final level + boss of the "true" ending, I think it's got some examples of really brilliant game design in there but don't want to spoil anything!)

shyguy64 did you get a gold nugget in animal crossing new horizons today.

[KjGarly]

So I finally got round to checking if my Switch was unpatched or not..


Thats better

[Green Gecko]

My worst purchase was probably Retro Games owing to it literally being 67p or something for noughts and crosses and pong lol

Nah Fear Effect Sigma is pretty bad. I too need to buy less discounted games I never get around to.

I like Pinikuniku, but agree the tracks posted sound horrible on a little mobile speaker or likely the switches, that kind of thing sounds remarkably more endearing on proper speakers.

You've hacked your Switch, Kj? . The menu screen is totally different! Looks pretty neat.

If anyone was dreaming about having a huge Lucario plushie for their home... you're in luck!

Grabbed Rune factory 4 for Switch for £20 mostly cause I'm worried my pokemon won't arrive today and I'm playing a new different game I want to play today one way or another lol.

[Jenuall]

Ooh, there's a question: what's your worst Switch purchase?

Late to the party on this, but it is a good question!

I genuinely don't think I've made a purchase on Switch that I regret, I've enjoyed my time with everything I've picked up. Some more than others of course, but there's definitely nothing there where I think, "ugh, that was a mistake!"

Probably the closest is Dead Cells. Not because of anything wrong with the game, it's brilliant, but in hindsight I had already got pretty much everything I needed to out of the game on PC so it's not really had too much of a look in on Switch.

Ditto. My value requirements are quite specific so I end up doing a lot of investigation into each game I buy. Probably too much, but at least I'm extremely unlikely to be disappointed!

And Snake!

I have quite like it, Snake and noughts and crossing are good for mucking about for couple of minutes and pong is pretty fun in 2 player mode
