Nintendo Switch

[Leave a Whisper]

After months of scrimping and saving and hoarding gift cards, my daughter and I finally have a Switch! I wish it was red n blue but oh well.  I planned on getting the neon joycons for extra controllers anyway. Very pleased. My daughter will be getting Bendy as her first game and I already have the Mega Man X Legacy Collection at home for it.

We got our switch last Christmas. I ended up not touching it much this past year but when Animal Crossing comes out I'll be glued to it! I also play Smash with my friends sometimes.

A new AC game? How cute! She's really starting to get into that series. Were you excited for any of the recent announcements?

I was actually a bit sad at the new Direct because I was only looking forward towards Crossing stuff. :< Yoshi's Crafted World sounds like fun, though!

Oof, I forget when we got ours... I've been enjoying Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu plus playing Snipperclippers with friends

I still have a Wii U. Is a Nintendo Switch fun? If so I’d need to save up to get one. 😀

What do you play on your Wii U? It does suck having to pay for the online service, but if you play online games a lot you will want to pick up a Switch as the Wii U online scene keeps bleeding users.
I think the joycons are more fun to use and I like that the Switch is portable. None of that "you left the room too far!" stuff.

I don’t use the online gaming feature on my Wii U, I just play the regular games. Most of the stores around me quit selling Wii U games.

 It seems like every time I get a new Nintendo system Nintendo comes out with a new one right after.

Anyone else have Splatoon 2?

Anyone else have Splatoon 2?

I play for monthly Splatfests, the rest of the time I play Mario Kart or Wario's Woods, and lately, Tetris 99. I started having issues sometime last year, and I would get dizzy while playing Splatoon (always use motion controls! Accept nothing else!), so I limit my playtime with that.

The portability is the best bit! I've never docked it, I've owned my Switch since April 2017. I'm EXTREMELY near-sighted, if something isn't up to my nose, I can't see it! This way I can play video games in bed.

Yeah I'm definitely interested in that. Perhaps they'll talk more about AC at  E3?

I have hope AC is getting their own Direct consider how big it became after New Leaf.
Hope there wont be too many changes on the new title as I LOVE New Leaf <3

I actually want a huge change! I've been with NL for YEARS. I'd love to see the city from CF come back, but that's unlikely! (I just want Gracie from day 1)

Sadly, I think we'll have to wait until E3 to even see anything about the new Animal Crossing. It could turn up in the next Direct, but I'm assuming there will be no general Nintendo Direct in between now and E3. The fact that it didn't turn up in the last Direct was really disappointing. All we have to go on is "it exists" and we learned that in like September or something. =(

The one series that is very likely to get information soon outside of a (general) Direct/E3 is Pokemon. I really hope that the new Pokemon games are something special, because Generation VII was disappointing and I like to pretend that LGP/E don't even exist.

Had some issues setting it up. Wouldn't connect to my 2DS/WiiU account for some reason and I had to make a new one. Then it kept giving me error messages. The joycons feel flimsy and the plastic thin. Its a bit creaky.  Someone suggested I buy an 8bitdo controller.

Daughter Dearest is enjoying it.

It feels a bit strange playing an SNES game with the cross grip, but that's more of a learning pain then an actual issue.
