Stick to the Portal. Doesn't cost too much, can run all games without the need for developers to make tweaks to run on a handheld, won't weigh a tonne.
I have a Switch and a PS Portal. And will likely get whatever the Switch 2 turns out to be. I think that will cover 99% of games I'm interested. Don't see a need for an xbox anymore since they're bringing most of their games to other platforms anyway.
Just beat Echoes of Wisdom. It's motivated me to go back to TOTK. Took a break from it last year after putting in about 100 hours. Think it's time I went back and finished it.
If any other developer made this game it would have sold well. Because it's ubisoft, people know it will be heavily discounted within 3 to 6 months. I bought it half price after a few months.
This weekend I'll be playing on my new favourite handheld: PS Portal 😄.
Death Stranding is on my playlist there along with a few rounds of Shotgun King.
On Switch, still working my way through Mario Galaxy. Love it
@Zuljaras Spiderman 2 is no doubt a great game but I think most outlets this year will be torn between TOTK and Baldur's Gate 3. I haven't played BG3 yet but hope to before end of year. Can see Spidey 2 winning some awards but not GOTY awards.
The Swicth version of EA FC is very poor. And going by the subreddit for the game in general, people aren't happy with this years version. Buggy as hell and poor AI. Thankfully I went physical and can trade in to get some money back. First time I bought a "FIFA" game in about 5 years, not impressed.
Bought the Zelda OLED Switch a few months back. Sold my Day One OG Switch to a friend, was still in great condition. This Switch will do me for a good few years.
This might be the first fifa game I pick up since the first one they released on Switch. I own Series S and PS5 but having this portable would lean me towards getting it on Switch. Not bothered about 30 v 60 fps.
FPS doesn't bother me. MGS1 is in my top 5 favourite games of all time but I never played the sequels. Will definitely pick this collection up on Switch.
It needs more than one game. I think we'll see at least 3D Mario, Metroid 4 and maybe a new IP all within the first 3 months of launch, Mario being a day-one title. Then all the 3rd party support to back it up.
@epicgamner Both games are amazing. I would still give TOTK the nod for GOTY but man Hi Fi Rush is definitely a close 2nd. Loved it the whole way through.
@solarwolf07 because a lot of people enjoy playing those kinda games. Including myself. Let people play what they want to play. Hate this kinda judgement of peoples gaming choices.
@Sisilly_G I decided 50 hours or so was long enough to play the game without it so I looked up where to get it. Turns out I had been right beside that area just a few hours before (as in I could have walked to it in about 20 seconds) and didn't go over to see what was there. Very easy to miss things in this game.
I'm over 60 hours in and barely build anything. But that might change now as I have only recently unlocked the last ability Link gets which will help with that.
@Everythingnotsaved same. I'm only about 50 hours in and want to discover as much as I can on my own first. I might open this book in a year or two.....maybe.
50 hours in. Getting distracted by anything and everything. It's brilliant. Still on the fence about if I think it's better than BOTW or not. They're both amazing in different ways.
After listening to the Kinda Funny Gamescast podcast this week, this game is on my radar. They all loved it and liked the twists on game mechanics (using foam to build upwards to create defences or better attacking positions) and the cool mode where you have to take out the "VIP" of the opposing team. I already own splatoon but this looks very good also. Will keep an eye out for reviews.
@Cikajovazmaj they dropped the price of the first game so quick people assumed the same would happen with this one and held off on buying it. Thats the main reason I didnt buy it. Loved the first game and will definitely get this one at some point.

Re: So, Will You Be Listening To The New Mobile App Nintendo Music?
Na. No interest in listening to game soundtracks unless I'm playing the game. Don't get the appeal but each to their own. Glad others are enjoying it.

I have the Link, Zelda and Revali statues. Plan to get the remaining champions at some point. But don't think I'm interested in this one.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario RPG On Switch?
Will play someday. But not for awhile. The backlog has increased lately.

Re: Video: EA Sports FC 24 Graphics Comparison Shows Off Switch Performance & Resolution
Own all 3 platforms but decided to get it on Switch. Portability was the deciding factor.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 30th)
FC 24. Man am I rusty at this game. Lots of practice required before I take on people online.
Re: Review: EA Sports FC 24 - The Best Football Game On Any Nintendo System, Finally
I use to buy football games every year. This will be my first in 5 years. Looking forward to giving it a go.

Re: Video: Red Dead Redemption Graphics Comparison (Switch & Xbox Series X)
Great game. Terrible price. Already played it so not bothered about picking it up again, even if it was €10.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo IP Should 'Switch 2' Launch With?

Re: Good Smile Restocking Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Nendoroid, Pre-Order Now

If it runs well I'll invest.
Re: EA Sports FC 24 Switch Gameplay Trailer Revealed, Frostbite Engine Confirmed
