Did You Get A Nintendo Switch Today

... of Play Station Plus for multiple years, and have purchased the PS Vita games on there already or bought them via the Cross Buy option. I have played most of the games they listed and have only ever bought FIFA 15 and Tearaway. One purchase I regretted, even for a tenner, and one had Nintendo-like charm. Nator Dom. GC: In theory it’s fairly standard, but the scale of the problem is unusual. Political considerations. My guess as to why Ghost Recon: Wildlands is not set in Mexico is President Trump. I suspect the inspiration for the setting was Donald ranting and making accusations that Mexico was full of thieves and rapists on his campaign trail. Ubisoft took this alternative reality as inspiration and based a game around what was clearly fiction. Then the American people did something Ubisoft never expected and voted for Donald as their President. As Donald’s success would suggest the majority of Americans believed Donald’s accusations, Ubisoft then decided that a Mexican setting would damage sales. So instead they threw a dart at South America and it landed in ...

13 Essential Things I Wish I Knew Before Buying Nintendo Switch

... your Joy-Con grip after each play session. In terms of whether this will break the Joy-Cons in the long term it’s hard to say. We’ve seen at least one report of a Joy-Con strap breaking due to the flimsy small white tab on its bottom, but our own Joy-Cons have continued to feel solid. That screen’s a lot smaller than my television, does it balance small details and icons between big and little screens. When used as a handheld the visuals look great. They’re crisp and colorful. On a television the Switch’s main menu looks a little oversized, but the games themselves look in proportion, if a little jagged round the edges. The biggest problem is tabletop mode. When the console is out of your hands you have to sit pretty close to make anything out in certain games. We tried playing Breath of the Wild with the Switch on our coffee table and we had a ...

Nintendo Switch Review

... in the same ball park as the Xbox One and Play Station 4 when they first launched. In a world still recovering from and dealing with recession, Brexit and Donald Trump, £280 seems okay for what you get in the box. The kick in the nether regions comes with the cost of the games on top. Nintendo's first-party games have always been overpriced, we feel. They rarely get discounted by much either, with legacy titles maintaining a premium price point for years. So, £50-60 for Zelda is a mighty outlay when added on top of the price of the console. And let's face it, it's the main game everybody wants at this stage in the Switch's life. We suggest you cough up for a micro SD card too, with at least 64 GB of storage. The Switch comes with just 32 GB on board – a measly amount considering the digital download version of Zelda alone takes up more than 13 GB. A half-decent micro SD card will cost you around £17 – so that gets added to the bill ...

Three Annoying Ways Nintendo Switch Storage Is Locked Down

... put it in another one — as far as Nintendo’s concerned, it has to be reformatted. This presumably makes it harder for people to pirate games — but it also means that you can’t take your downloaded games and just play them on another console, even if you log in with your account. Downloaded games are locked to one console at a time. Even if you log in to another console, you can’t download and play your e Shop-purchase games unless you deregister your other console and activate the new one. Nintendo says it will offer easier ways to add Switch friends in the future. That last part might not seem like a big deal, but is does mean that if you lose your Switch (or it gets stolen), you have to call Nintendo and have the company deregister your old device before you can download them again. And even then, your save files are kaput. Other systems like the Xbox or Playstation have much more user-friendly policies when it comes to your games and their associated save files. It’s not just that your games are saved to the cloud so you can start where you left off on any console — it’s that you can log into ...
