Just found this game while looking at the current offers on the eShop. It looks pretty decent and is going for R117 only.

@Solitude as a fellow Souls fan, you might like this for your new Switch.

Soā€¦I saw this:

Which means I need Twitch Prime. But donā€™t you get Twitch Prime for free when you have Amazon Prime Video? And thatā€™s something like $3 per month for the first 6 months.

@SIGSTART, I think you know these things.

That moment when subscriptions become complicated.

Thatā€™s exactly right. Sign up at primevideo.com. Itā€™s also possible that Twitch Prime includes Amazon Prime Video, but I havenā€™t tested that.

It worked! Even when signing up to a trial of Amazon Prime video you get 3 months worth of Nintendo Online.

Does anyone use a different controller for their Switch?

They joycons arenā€™t very comfortable for me and the pro controller seems pretty expensive

#111

Iā€™ve got the same problem @Deadlypinecone. Iā€™d love a pro controller but itā€™s insanely expensive.

#112

I see there are similar ones available in South Africa:

I wonder what they are like.

#114

that one on loot is wired however.

i bought some knockoff Playstation wireless controllers, gamecube controllers and a wii pro controller and they work just like the originals. the gamecube one is recently bought is practically an original controller without the logo. some of the Playstation ones the buttons do feel a bit clickier

#115

Hmm itā€™s tempting. My biggest concern is that Iā€™ve already imported 3 items this year. And apparently you need an importerā€™s code if you do more than that.

#116

if you import via ebay or amazon they are normally strict but iā€™ve received about 7 packages since January without any issue. as long as you dont go crazy with purchases then i guess its fine

The pro controller is expensive, but it is a brilliant controller. Plus you have native PC bluetooth support. It really is amazing and I am so glad i took the plunge to get one.

Iā€™ve joined the Switch club - also picked up Zelda, Pokemon letā€™s go pikachu and Mario aces. Any tips / games worth checking out?
