#TeamRock is full of Rockstars. We’re gonna hulk smash some things ![]()
The first I found a bit boring.
Maybe need to start it again ![]()
EEEEEEEE!
Nearly time to buy my fourth Switch!
I was gonna sell mine but may just keep it collecting dust for another 8 months as it was the last 8 months ![]()
I could just buy yours in 8 months! ![]()
A colleague at work was selling a pretty much new Lite for £100 so I now have my fourth Switch.
Already have Metroid Dread and Skyward Sword to finish off and figured I may get it now in preparation for Tears of the Kingdom.
All sold on (for good prices).
It’s worked out really well.
Nice. I have preordered both from shopto at a total cost of £90. Might change. Having digital better anyway and no issues with delayed delivery!
I love buying digital games I’ll never play off Eneba for my Xbox. I’ve got many a top tier title at ridiculous prices.
But I always buy physical Switch games. Resale prices on Nintendo games are outstanding. If I buy them at any sort of discount I’ll likely break even on resale. That’s what I call a no brainer.
This is exactly what I don’t trust Nintendo to do. I’ve bought Super Mario Bros / Super Metroid / Link to the Past far too many times on countless platforms to trust that my digital purchases will work on the next console.
Eighteen times bitten, forever shy.
I’d be delighted to be proved wrong. But I’m not holding my breath.
I’m only like 15 mins in! I’m shocked by the graphics though ![]()
Mario Kart 8 update is out, so we have some new tracks (if you bought the DLC), along with custom items in races and battles!
Just working my way through the tracks. My ranking so far:
Rainbow Road
Maple Treeway
Merry Mountain
Alpine Pass
Peach Gardens
London Loop
Boo Lake
Berlin Byways
In MK Tour, I always found London Loop quite boring but even on 50cc on MK8, it just seems a lot more fun. It felt like a long course with lots of good turns and jumps. Much better than I expected it to be.
Boo Lake is simple but still a fun track. Some nice turns and the underwater and anti gravity sections keep things interesting. Wasn’t really challenging though and probably could get boring with enough plays of it.
Alpine Pass was a brilliant track in MK7 and it is even better here. The gliding section is fun as always and the uphill section, which is now anti-gravity, is a welcome change. Can’t wait to play on this track on some faster speeds!
Another brilliant track from a past game returns and is as good as ever. No real changes here, but that isn’t a bad thing. Plus, they kept the half-pipe! Just a very well designed track that looks very unique and is probably going to be quite challenging at times on 200cc.
The first two laps of Berlin Byways got quite boring to be honest. I’m sure they’ll be more interesting on higher speeds, but it is just a fairly standard track with the only obstacles being a few cars. The third lap is definitely more interesting with a trickier section of the course along with some Thwomps.
Peach Gardens is obviously not very challenging, but remains a very fun course to race on. Plus, the surprise for the third lap was welcome and definitely made the track feel that bit more exciting.
Merry Mountain’s layout is fairly simple but it is a lot of fun with all the different jumps, the anti-graph section, and the very happy christmas theme. Definitely the best original tour track in this wave.
Another Rainbow Road, but definitely the best rainbow road that I’ve played. A lot of fun with lots of variation across the track to make things a bit more interesting. It also looks brilliant! Has to be my favourite track in this wave!
Yep. Definitely will make for some more interesting races. Probably will turn coins off all the time. Wish they never added them back into the series in MK7!
My switch has been sat in the living room draw for around 6 months probably longer.
Is it even worth hanging on to?
Not sure how much I’d get for selling, maybe £250 incl the games.
New Zelda coming mid next year.
Only you can answer that. I have tons of games I haven’t finished, plus Zelda next year, plus the MK8 DLC, so I’ve got plenty of games to play.
I played BoTW and didn’t finish it. Also played Pokémon diamond a little bit before it got boring.
Not into fighting games or otherwise. I play the ps5 frequently, and when there’s something on gamepass I switch it up for the series S.
May hold out for the BoTW 2, can’t be as drab as the first
hopefully weapons hold out this time too
think that was my biggest let down of the game til you get the you know what sword.
