I got a lot of Switch time down at my sister's. Man...BOTW, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, etc...I'm really tempted.

[willeyeam]

for a newb like me, what games would you play on this? i don't totally understand how it works

[DigitalGypsy66]

Mario Kart is a must. Then get Switch Online and get 30+ NES games...that’s a good start.

[willeyeam]

ooh so I can play nintendo stuff with it.. cool

[the wicked child]

Super Mario Odyssey.

[eddy]

Online for old school games, Mario Odyssey, Zelda, stardew valley. Prepare for it to take over. Don't have kids if you want to play.

[willeyeam]

So far so good there

In my mind, I was like, "They will assuredly screw this up in some very basic easy-to-not-screw-up fashion."

I can't get past the region/language and age gates.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Yeah, I had to switch to Asia/English to even get to the site.

is that weird for nintendo to let an indie use zelda? I'm not complaining, it looks fun, but I'm surprised to see that.

this looks crazy

[Shyster]

I believe by this point that whenever the Switch is mentioned, I am contractually obligated to mention that Hollow Knight is available for the Switch. And the upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong will also be released on the Switch.

Cuphead gets insanely difficult

[the wicked child]

Thank ****... after a day of **** with uninstalling/reinstalling graphics drivers, I can play games again on my laptop.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

The Division 2 is a fun game.

Battlefield Firestorm is out today. Blowing away previous streaming records for a Battlefield title, as even Dr. Disrespect was playing it. I'm pretty meh on BR games, but BF is my jam, so I guess I'll be trying it tonight. I've been really bored/frustrated with BFV lately, so maybe this will give it some new life.

Also, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind is free today...if you can manage to login to Bethesda's site. I've been trying since this morning, and it won't let me login to get the game. https://www.polygon.com/2019/3/25/18280 ... ce=twitter

[Morkle]

I've pretty much jumped on the Apex Legends train. I'll give the BF BR a try, but they've bastardized BF for me so much, I wouldn't last long anyways.

It's working for me right now. If you haven't done so, try it now.

Thanks for the heads-up!
