I've been enjoying Golf Story the past week.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Getting sucked in?
Haha, yes. I actually kind of like the writing.
Wuhddup Switch Bitches. Tomorrow I join your ranks.
Do I get a badge ?

Decision made, going to get one tomorrow. Monumental for me as the only Nintendo system I ever owned was a gameboy colour.
Games wise, whats the recommendation? So will be 1 player mostly (my friends all have PS4s) so I'm thinking Mario Odyssey, Zelda and Mario Kart?

I don't think Mario Kart is interesting as a single player game. Everything's unlocked from the off so there's not that much to do. And you'll just end up being way better than your friends. It's a great multiplayer game though.
I like my indie games so I picked up Stardew Valley and Golf Story for a bit more than £11 each. I think I'll get SteamWorld Dig 2 (anyone played Heist?) or Mario + Rabbids next. I still need to pick up Mario Odyssey and Zelda though.
Fair point, was thinking of online multiplayer where billy no mates like me can get matched with others but then i suppose its a mixed bag who you get matched with and not the same as playing it with friends.
I haven't played it online yet, but others in this thread have as far as I can see. So maybe they'd be able to shed some light on the online experience.
I've only played Splatoon 2 online. It's been fine.
Anybody bought Bayonetta yet? Never played these games so was glad to see them come to the Switch. Was just wondering how they hold up. Specifically in portable mode.
Played them on other platforms. Do you like Platinum Games' offerings?
Two appears to look identical docked and handheld.

Played Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising (think those are Platinum games) and liked those. Also love Devil May Cry. I know those aren't platinum games but Bayonetta gives me Devil May Cry vibes.
Been eager to try them, but i mostly play Switch in handheld so was curious to see how they held up. Reviews seem positive.
I'd say go for it but it pisses me off that they're charging full price.
Yeah, agreed. I love that they're porting games over 'cause i never got to play most of them due to the fact that i never owned a Wii U. But charging full price is a slap in the face. Gaming is an expensive hobby, that's for sure.

About halfway through Bayo 1 mostly in portable mode and no complaints so far. Great game.
Good to hear. May take the plunge and get it.
Bayo 2 is fantastic, challenging too. Worth the money in my opinion.
I've not played Bayo 1 yet, but I'm sure it's great too.
Please, for the love of God, make a new Donkey Kong game. Preferably in the "Country" series.
Tropical Freeze is coming to Switch. No doubt at full price.
I need another one in the franchise! Having to wait about 20 years after DKC3 for another proper Donkey Kong game has scarred me into thinking they'll forget about the franchise/shove it aside for the more established Nintendo franchises. DKC3 was a pretty big let down after the 1st two as well, but it was alright. I didn't really enjoy DK64 like most but that was probably because I outright sucked at it.
How large SD cards do you guys use? I'm thinking of getting one and trying to figure out what would be a reasonable size.
Get at least a 128gb if you're expecting to be downloading games. Go 200+ if you can afford it and want to download a lot of non-first party titles. Nintendo usually manage to keep their file sizes down, but a lot of third party games take up loads of room.
Yeah that was what I thought would be a minimum as well.
Usually I will download the indie titles (Stardew Valley, Golf Story, SteamWorld etc.) and get the physical release of the larger games like Zelda and such. I could see myself run out of storage rather quickly if I bought everything from the online store.
I think this list contains all current game file sizes on Switch: http://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/nintendo_switch_game_file_sizes?start=20
Even massive Nintendo published games like Zelda, Xenoblade and Bayonetta 2 only take up around 13gb each. Whereas third party games like WWE, NBA, LA Noire and Resident Evil Revelations 2 take up well over 20gb each. If you're mostly getting Indie games then I think 128gb will do.
Oh that's a very helpful list. Thanks a lot.
It does seem like if I stick to my plan of getting physical versions of the larger games 128 GB will last me quite a while.
Loving the Switch. Bought Zelda, Mario Odyssey, LA Noire and Rocket league.
Just seen Owlboy, that shit looks amazing
Can't believe it's been one year of the Switch already. I remember being so apathetic towards it when it was first shown in that reveal trailer. Vowing that i would never buy it and saying how stupid it looked. Never thought i would ever own one, never mind love it. Works flawlessly at what it does and is a real joy to use.
It really is a great console

I finally caved in and bought Xenoblade. I had to turn the game off after about 10 minutes after listening to the American voices and searched in vain after another language until I learned there was a free Japanese voice DLC available.
Loved my first year with the Switch, I didn’t realise how useful the console to handheld aspect would be it’s a game changer. Zelda, Mario, Splatoon etc are all great but I really love playing Rocket League on the go, tomorrow is gonna be dead at work due to the weather so I expect to be hammering Rocker League for most of the day
Any news on os update btw? I really want my switch to have a browser.
Last I heard they were still heavily invested in sorting out their infrastructure for when all the online stuff proper kicks off, so everything else is there but just waiting. I think they realise that if they are going to start charging then it needs to be up to scratch, whether or not it will be is a different matter. But yeah, having stuff like a browser and that would be handy sooner rather than later.
I wanted this at first - but now not bothered. My switch is for gaming - if I want the internet I’ll use my phone or tablet
Do yourself a favor and turn off in-battle voices.
Seriously.
Oh God, Axiom Verge is so bloody good
Mostly British
Any news on Virtual Console..? 
Been toying with buying this for so long. Love Super Metroid and this game is obviously highly influenced by that. Switch seems like and ideal console for the game, too.Oh God, Axiom Verge is so bloody good
So you can finally use gold points of the eshop for discounts. Be lying if i said that I've been waiting for this for long, as I've only just realised that i can get good points for physical releases
Thought it was only for digital.
