Well it's been more than a while since I posted on this thread, work during the warm seasons is a bit crazy and since I get a lay off during winter I finally had time to actually play something.

We bought Pokemon Lets Go! And I've got to say it's pretty damn good! It is a bit different from typical pokemon games, mostly because you don't fight wild pokemon, but instead capture them like the Pokemon Go on mobile, but it works really well to be honest. Other wise it's still a Pokemon game in every other way and is a lot of fun, I'm about 20 hours into it and enjoying every minute, it's making me look forward to the real full game we get in 2019.

I also picked up a story based game Called Death Mark. It's basically a book you read while being able to investigate and search for clues and such to progress the story. It's different but creepy and so far is a nice change of pace as far games go. I'm not too far in this one but thought I'd mention it. How about everyone else? I'm sure there's a few new Switch owners out there, or you just picked up something new

Ah great someone else commenting in this thread!

Is Pokemon Go worth getting to you think? Would be interested to know how the Pokemon caught transfer into the game - does it let you have them all at once (and if so doesn't it make the game a bit easy?) Does the combat etc. work in the same way as the traditional Pokemon games?

Still tried (and failed) to finish Octopath Traveller. Nothing worse than spending 50 minutes on a boss fight only to lose (you can tell its a Square-Enix game!) So am taking a break.
Played a lot of Dead Cells (which is absolutely exceptional, great game, but really, really tough) and also Overcooked for some 4-player cooking tomfoolery - that is an awesome multi-player game.

Still waiting on Wargroove and currently playing Chasm on it. If you like C:SotN Chasm is worth checking out.

I got myself a Switch for Christmas. Ended up getting Smash Ultimate and Let's Go Eevee! I am really enjoying both of them.

Smash Ultimate is very smooth. Great fights and a lot of content other than just fighting each other. If you like Unlockables, Smash Ultimate is for you.

Let's Go Eevee! has been pretty great so far. I just made it to Cerulean City and I have a pretty good idea of who I am going to try to get and for my party by the end. On top of all the shinies I could be getting if I spend a little time catching. I usually get bored with filling the Pokedex, but I definitely see myself doing it this time. Looking in to getting one of those pokeballs for Mew.....

I borrowed Super Mario Odyssey from a friend and it has exceeded expectations. I have loved every minute of every level. I was a big fan of Super Mario 64, probably my all time favorite Mario game. This lives up to that. Exploration is fun and rewarding. Outfits are silly and hilarious. Boss Fights are fun and can be challenging. (Tip: If you normally find Mario games super easy, just play drunk!)

I want to get the new Mario Party game pretty soon. As well as pick up Octopath Traveller, but that will be after I get Darkest Dungeon for it. That has me real excited, I want that game on the go.

I would say you have probably listed about 200 hours + of playing time there Dreadwinter - be careful!

Would love to have a go at Smash Ultimate. Liked the look of the intro trailer - was very surprised at the one Nintendo character/hero (out of all of them) to survive the attack in it - I don't think many people would be able to guess who that would be!

Anyone else enjoying this lovely game as well? It's easily worth the price tag, and is a great and challenging little strategy game! I've also got some ideas for building my own campaign and story for it as well.

Yes, I totally tried it and it's great! Just wish you could turn up the AI difficulty in multiplayer mode, they're too easy =/

Hint: Check who created that character.

The direCT was short but sweet. Looks like it takes place in a UK/Scotland area. Graphical style looks really cool, kindda cell shaded a bit like BTW is. The starting Pokemon are already tryin to be a thing. I'm a fan of Grookey myself! Gotta love them grass types.

The last Pokemon game I played was Ruby, so, I think I have a lot of catching up to do!

This an Mario Kart has finally made me more interested in getting a switch though, which I didn't expect.

Pff Mariokart 8 is frigging fantastic. I've got golds all through the different cc races. Still working on getting 3 stars on all of 200cc. About halfway there I think.

So, is Grooky a Beatles monkey, or a pun on the Monkees, or both? Either way, I love both it and Scorbunny. Sobble isn't bad, but it's not doing anything for me.

For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

I feel stupid because the first I heard about this was as a joke on the Fate reddet.

There will be no Saber pokemon!

Sorry, Fate has me triggered with their insistence that Saber is going to be in the new Smash Bros in some way.

Pokemon Sword and Shield look pretty great. Excited about the starters. Grookey looks great and Scorbunny could be interesting. If Sobble ends up being Water/Psychic I am in.

As much as I'd love it, I find that claim highly questionable XD

But yeah I thought it was a joke when someone put up Pokemon Sword with Saber on the cover and Pokemon Shield with Shielder, then I come on here and am like "wait they're real?"

Would really, REALLY like a regional form for Lapras (seeing as it's more or less Nessie as a Pokemon already anyway) where it's Water/Steel instead of Water/Ice. That typing change would do wonders.

The bad guys in Sword/Shield hopefully are a parody of Liverpool F.C and its up to the player to stop them winning the pokemon league.

What interests me is this, being on the switch, makes it the firstp roper pokemon game for the TV! Something that I've always been surprised that they've never done before. They sort of tried a few times as I recall you could play some pokemon games through your console, but it was never upscaled in visuals for the TV (or I might be miss remembering it).

This release, to my eyes, also marks the likely end of the 3DS line of handheld consoles. The Switch I think will take over mobile gaming for nintendo - which would make sense. 2 screens and touchpad and 3D (of which the latter most people don't actually use) - the 3DS was getting more and more quirky and it wasn't always good for it to have so many quirky things in a basic handheld unit.

The Super Game Boy let you play the pre-Ruby/Sapphire era games on your TV. I did that almost exclusively, as I had lost my original GB for a while when Red first came out.

I think Box or something let you play the GBA era stuff or your TV, or maybe something Gen 4. Once the SP was out there wasn't nearly the demand for this there was during the puke green era.

Oh, it will never happen. I would be absolutely shocked if Nintendo put somebody from Fate in the game.

But that doesn't stop the fanbois..... *sigh*

Has anyone watched the new Detective Pikachu film? I'll be honest I was absolutely dreading it, but it was extremely entertaining (as long as you like Ryan Reynolds, as a lot of the laughs come from his lines). Made me think of a slightly cuter, less crude version of Ted

Have been enjoying playing Diablo 3 on the Switch - the graphics aren't quite up to par, but it's brilliant being able to play in portable mode and on public transport.
