Ok so, main quests pretty much done in BOTW and Odyssey. I have things like Splatoon, Mario Kart and Rocket league to dip and out of but want something to get lost in for a while like Mario & Zelda. Any recommendations?
Are you into JRPG games? Xenoblade is a good one if you are. I put about 100 hours into it and really enjoyed it.

I've not played many of them but the ones I have, I've enjoyed. Will give it a look, cheers.

I got myself Rayman Legends yesterday which I look forward to playing when I've finished Axiom Verge. I was sold after playing the demo and remembering liking it back in the day so I had to bite at ~£13.
Also it felt weirdly nice to put Mario Kart in the card holder that came with my case (Rayman is only my second physical game, so it's just been empty so far).

Football Manager Touch released today! Bit pricey at £30...

Still, great to see it on the Switch

If you're not that arsed about Nintendo exclusives or some indies then i wouldn't bother. Third party games are best played elsewhere, so it's the exclusives that you'd be buying it for.

Been playing Oxenfree on Switch. Picked it up for around £4 on sale its a good little game for the price.

I really want Footy Manager but I can't justify £30 when I already have it on pc, if it drops to £20 I might be tempted.

Can't justify £30 when the season is so close to end - and I already bought it on PC.

Will definitely pick up next season.

Very positive impressions on resetera (a gaming forum)

Haha yeah it’s great for gaming. There’s some social warriors on there though just to warn you. Concentrate on the gaming and it’s great

I'm probably going to be getting one soon since my uncle is going to the US and therefor I can get it for about 50% less than here.

I'm thinking about getting a bundle with Super Mario Odyssey and also Zelda, Mario Kart and a pro Switch remote. Haven't been a Nintendo owner since NES so is that about all I need for equipment?

Maybe a case or bag for bringing it around and some kind of screen protector as well. If you'll get physical copies of games you might want something to store the cards in too.

I don't think I'll be bringing it around that much. I own my own car and the commute is about 10 minutes.

Don't the games come in a physical storage?

Yes. But I put all my cards in my case. Means I don’t need to open the cases constantly. Also I have a case just to protect it when it moving around the house. It never leaves my house but moves from room to room sometimes.

I don't bring mine around that much either, except for when I'm traveling. But I like the case for storing it in the house as well, if I need to put it away for some reason. Last week we had a great big party for instance so it was good to have somewhere to protect it.

They do but the cases from the store are quite a lot bigger than the game cards.

I bought the below along with some tempered glass for the screen. It's not the most stylish but gets the job done.

Well I bit the bullet today and bought one. Got Zelda and Mario Odyssey with it. I’ve also ordered a carry case and memory card. A bloody expensive day and I still have to pick up a pro controller :p

Got a switch today, brand new for £150!

What accessories do we recommend?

Not got any games yet but I will set up my Boomerang account and rent a few.

Completed Axiom Verge over the weekend. Great game but the fight with Athetos was surprisingly easy.

I've just started Splatoon 2, I'm doing well so far but at what level do I start getting all the good gear?
