I had a nose through the sale stuff on my Switch and Wii U last night. Nothing really stood out on the Switch, but the Wii U had quite a few retro Castlevania titles that I've not played yet. I resisted though, as my to-play pile is big enough as it is.
I've been looking for an excuse to buy Thimbleweed Park... Looks like this is it!

I can't wait for this. I've avoided a load of spoilers but have just seen a clip of Mario going into 2D mode. It looks absolutely glorious.
And today we're there.. got already some teasing whatsapps from friends having it... waiting for the mailman to arrive.. (and finishing work, natch)
My wife is off to a wedding later today so that means I'll be in charge of the kids all day so I won't get to play it until the kids go to bed.
I’m just waiting to see what sort of reception Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gets before getting a Switch and Mario. Knowing my luck though, they’ll be sold out for December just when XC2 comes out.

Stop lying to yourself and buy one now. They'll sell out as soon as Mario starts to advertise properly
You talk sense. I’ll consider it but I’ve got big bills this month.
Sell your Wii-U. I've heard they're collectable now.
But, but, but, it’s the system you can play Xenoblade X on! I even loaded that up a few weeks back. Sat loves Xenoblade.
buuuuyyy.... consuuuuuummee....
Hang about, I want one of them new Xbox things too!? Hnnngh.

I've just had a quick go on Mario Odyssey. My quick go started about 3 hours ago... It's brilliant!
yes it is... did hats/waterfall/desert/forest now, on to the lakes (not sure how they're called in english)
loved in the forst when i turned into a rocket , and then when up to a misty tower, took over a boomba and found a secret moon somewhere in the fog..
until now still not that 'openworldy' though, but apparently that starts in New Donk City....

Switch get.
Y’know I’ve already had a go on one of these, but when I just got it out the box I was like “goddamn this is dinky”. Much much smaller than I ever remembered my brief time with it. So yeah, the Switch, it’s dinky.

Gaz bought me the new Mario like the hero that he is. 
Hoping to get some time on it today.
Hoping to get some time on it today. @satsuma @jem, what are your friend codes...

At least it now finds you if you were friends before...

Fortunately, they're short and memorable. I've just looked mine up and it's SW-4077-9877-7294. Catchy!

So they've done the new DOOM on Switch. Sort of.

Despite all the compromises if you watch the videos of the game in motion, it's kind of OK. Ish.
Not sure it's the type of game you'd want to play on a Switch though, the whole point of Nintendo consoles is the Nintendo stuff, really.

I guess the portability is good for some people, but not my cup of tea...
I completed Mario Odyssey a week or so ago so that's just in time for me to take in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 tomorrow.
I'm not entirely sure that it'll be my sort of game but I am looking forward to it.

Hmmm, that’s a bit disappointing. Cards and stickers doth make a special edition.
Completing Mario...without jumping

Kinda mean that Bayonetta is a download in the special edition. It's on the cartridge on the Japanese special edition (not sure if it's one big cart, or two smaller ones).

I can’t read Dutch so I’m going to say...YES! Yes it does. Get two of them now before they sell out.
The switch doesn't have USB-A sockets, surely?

The Switch doesnt but the docking station has two. For example, the following video shows two GC adapters plugged into the Switch docking station - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ytXQ3fRg5E
ah perfect, that is what i want to know, because of the two usb ports i wondered... Using the wavebird will be lovely..

From what I've read only official GC adapters work with the Switch since system update 4.0.1
10m consoles sold in 9 months.
Zelda (just the Switch version), Mario Kart (just the Switch version) and Mario have all sold 5 million.
It's on track to beat the Wii U's lifetime sales within the first year.
Good job Nintendo.

According to the Zen Forums, PFX3 is nearly unplayable in handheld mode, due to sub 30 fps. I would say that it's better to wait for a patch, but since the game is free it doesn't apply.
I was really excited about the concept of the Switch, but apart from Mario and Zelda most games are really struggling with technical issues. Even Slain! and Rayman Legends, which were the kind of game that seemed tailor made for the switch, don't work properly.
At least, good news, seems like Stern Pinball works fine, and it's already released in cartridge.
I'll wait a bit more before I make my decision about the switch.
