Nintendo Switch

You might be underselling it a bit to the uninitiated there, bum - I've never played one of the games in that genre but a quick look shows it's actual video footage of the route, and not in-game graphics or photographic stills. Pretty cool. 

 

 

[fat flatulent git]

Indeed.  It's cool to see the actual route.

 

I bought all of them on 3DS.  They're difficult, but this seems even harder after a quick go.  I kept increasing the throttle / brake when I wanted to decrease, and vice versa.  It's going to take some practice.

Played a bit more of train journey now, and I'm getting better at it.  Got a few A grades (no S yet).

 

There isn't much chance to enjoy the scenery, as I have to concentrate so hard on my speed. Hopefully I can look around more when I unlock free mode.

What do you get if you use an Animal Crossing-like font on your trailer for a Stardew Valley colour scheme game?

I've just realised the Switch game isn't all the 3DS games - it's just the one that was £1 on the eShop. £53.39 is a lot of money for a £1 game.

And what a brilliant game it was for £1.

It was indeed. And I'd happily pay ten times that.

 

But £53.39? I'll pass. If it contained all the other games too then sure. It's not even like it's a new game - it's the same "video" of the same single route.

I hope this game has an Index.

Might have an argos too, if you're lucky.

Does anyone know off hand if the Switch Lite power supply will work with the Switch dock?  Have a Switch and Switch Lite and if the Switch Lite power will work with the Switch it will make it easier when I have to move the Dock to a different TV.

As far as I'm aware, they are the same chargers aren't they?

Switch (the "real" one ) and Mario Kart for £251? From Nintendo themselves, using the 10% code from the Nintendo booklet thing.

I have one of these codes if anyone needs it.

So do I!

 

I think @idiwa wants one.

[Kryptonian]

Was @Shimmyhill on about getting another Switch or has my brain made that up?

Nah I'm fine thanks.

[iknowgungfu]

I think I may be getting some intermittent joy con drift. Several times when passing slay the Spire one of my dream cards keeps getting raised up as if the thumbstick is pushed up. If I take the joycon of the switch and reattach it goes away. 

 

Is this the dreaded drift?

I loved the 3DS ones! I didn't realise anyone else played them!

[fat flatulent git]

I think my favourite was the Okinawa one.  I didn't realise this Kyoto one was so cheap in the UK.  Did they all get UK eshop releases?

Thanks, I got one with Pokemon - that Nintendo deal seems much better!

The Switch has now sold more units in Japan (10.43m) than the PS3 did in total (10.25m). So much for a "baffling" console "with no games".

 

Actually, it's only 1.7m short (worldwide) of the Xbone too - 43m vs 44.7m

[deerokus]

The Alien Isolation port looks like a technical marvel. They've actually improved on that weird shimmery antialiasing effect from the other versions with a much better quality AA method. It actually seems to be the best console version, arguably.

Sorry to ask a question I’m sure will have been covered (that I couldn’t find on a search), is it possible to copy the contents of my existing micro sd card to a larger one on a Mac? Google suggests a few workarounds but none seem bulletproof.

Yep. I've done it a few times.

Where am I going wrong then? I always get a card unreadable error once I’ve pasted the Nintendo folder over.

Are they both the same format? As in fat32 or exfat?

[The Tall Man]

Exfat. 

[jonamok]

I could never get it to work on my Mac. Ended up redownloading everything.

And they're both exfat? If so, dunno, sorry. I normally just drag the whole drive to the desktop holding Option so it makes a folder copy of the card, then copy the contents of that folder to the other card.

 

Although when I went from my 128 to 512GB card I copied direct from one card to the other.

Seems this is where I’m heading.
