Zelda is £48 at Amazon right now. Why would you pay £60 for it?

Zero Gunner 2 is out on the Switch today for £6.99. For those that don't know, it's an old arcade shoot em up that only ever saw a port on the Dreamcast in Japan. You control 1 of 3 helicopters and can fire in a full 360 degree motion.

It's great.

It's a fantastic game, but I saw reports of this port being pretty buggy.

Splatoon 2 is just more Splatoon but that is no bad thing. I really enjoyed it on the Wii U but the gamepad always put me off playing it for long stints.

What games? I only have Mario, Splatoon and Rabbids.

Don't forget to download the mobile app for voice chat.

Splatoon seems like it could be a good choice with enough people.

We could do:

4 Bezzies v 4 Randos public matches
4 Bezzies Salmon Run horde mode

@thevision good to hear you like zero gunner, have you read this?

Do we have two consoles, two copies of Splatoon and Mario Kart and four pairs of joy cons between us? Seems like playing 8 player local network games at the cottage is a must this year!

We even have two TVs in the main cottage now so wouldn't have to crowd round an 8-inch screen.

Forget Splatoon. You can only play one player per console so we'd need 8 Switches. :/

Mario Kart would be incredibly doable though. One console docked on each TV, two copies of the game, two pairs of joy cons each - et voila! 8-player Bezzie Kart.

Cloud-based save game backups I hope! Although in all fairness this should have been implemented from the get-go.

So many people are losing their save games when the Switch develops a fault, the latest victim is Brian Altano of IGN who lost a huge amount of save game progress when his was sent in for repair -

I would only recommend this if you'd get a lot of use out of handheld mode. Most of them are available on PC for cheaper.

Don't need to when you've got 2 Switches. One each in handheld mode. Easy.

Multiplayer sale going on.. ( https://nl.pepper.com/aanbiedingen/nint ... sale-61319 ) unfortunately it seem be mostly the same games again reduced (like mario rabbids, which has been on a bit of a constant sale)
did buy enter the gungeon,(http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016- ... eon-review ) which is a fun twin stick dungeon crowler.. perfect for handheldmode..


and will probably by fast rmx, after seeing this little movie http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digit ... over-wii-u
seems like a quite complete package, even though i found the wiiU (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015- ... neo-review ) version a bit empty (even thouh impressed by it visually).. and did learn there actually was a wii version too... ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mntwh53AcU ) .. might want to revisit Fzero GX after this, which remains quite amazing in my book

Nintendo finally opened gold points to switch discounts, stingy as expected.. at least you get a warning before running out these days, i got new luigi U DLC for free which is sort of nice, (although i wonder when if ever i will play it) http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018- ... -purchases

Enter the Dungeon is godly. It made Binding of Isaac obsolete imo.

Does the Switch port holds up?

It popped up in my Facebook feed that Descenders is out on Steam today. I'd not heard of it, so I looked into it more and I see there's a Switch version on the way too... might have to get that if it's a decent port.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a release date or a price for it, so we'll have to wait and see.
