Iā€™ll check these out, thanks!

So I ended up getting the Switch Pro controller. It feels so good in hand. I played Dragon Quest Builders all weekend and had no comfort issues.

So far, seems worth it. My Switch is probably going to be getting lots more playtime now.

Where did you get it from?

I got it from Raru. It was very slightly cheaper than the other retailers

Itā€™s really happening, The Switcher 3 is real. Yeah sure it will look like an early PS3 or X360 game, but who cares? The Witcher 3 on a portable console. That is insane.

I still have to watch a video to see what it looks like. It sounds like the perfect game for the Switch though.

For the Switch fans of DMC:

Donā€™t know if this is news to, or of any value to, Switch owners, but worth a share in case:

Itā€™s not real. Thatā€™s not a real Nintendo account. Had me fooled as well.

Well thatā€™s just disappointing. Sorry to not have picked up that itā€™s a parody account - I should have checked the profile page before posting that tweet, and not after:

Whatā€™s that old adageā€¦ trust, but verify.

Nintendo Direct at 00:00 tonight. Officially focusing on Pokemon Sword and Shield and Luigiā€™s Mansion 3. Rumoured reveal of Assassinā€™s Creed IV Collection as well as something related to Monolith Software. Whether thatā€™s a new (Xenoblade) game or a port of one of the older titles remains to be seen. It could also be the first look at their new IP or something about the new Zelda.

Here is the entire Direct if anyone wants to watch it:

This was better than E3

Most Excited about Xenoblade Chronicles and SNES games (so I can play Zelda Link to the Past before Linkā€™s Awakening drops).

I already signed up for the one week trial of NSO and Iā€™m actually impressed by the library of NES games available. If I canā€™t finish Link to the Past Iā€™ll find a way to get a 3 month or 1 year sub.

Iā€™ve seen people sign up together for a family switch account online, does anyone on this forum do the same?

According to that thread it was R60 pp for the annual sub.

Have you used the Twitch prime method of getting a sub as well?

Yes, Iā€™m part of a family plan. Saw someone on SAGamer post that they need people to join, paid my R60 and now I have online for a year. Donā€™t really know what Iā€™ll do with it (apart from the classic games) but it was too cheap to let it pass me by.

Oh yes thatā€™s the post I saw. I was wondering if anyone here had something similar, or if people would be keen. What classic games? The main draw for me was the online multiplayer and the cloud saves.
