    Yea I hear you. There are a bunch of games I want to play but just don’t have time. This problem is what makes the switch so awesome though. Since you can play in handheld, I can squeeze in some games in situations that aren’t possible with a regular console.

    My girlfriend is thinking about getting a lite. It’s gotten solid reviews. But since you already have a switch, I don’t see the value in switching to a lite. Plus like you said, an upgraded switch might come out in the future. If a more powerful one comes out, I’ll upgrade.

    Side note. I can’t belive the Witcher 3 is coming out on the switch later this month. How the f--- is that even technically possible. That’s insane.

    I just made it to the first gym. I honestly don’t see the hate it’s getting...

    It’s not the ground breaking game we wanted . But it’s still nice.

    Just finished Zelda. What an amazing game. Genuinely loved every single second of it.

    Now, what next? I'm tempted with Octopath so just downloaded the demo. Problem with games like that, they take so long to get going though so I'm not sure a demo is going to be enough to give me the commitment I need.

    Also want to get Xeno 2 but now that Xeno 1 has been announced as a remake I think I'll wait for that.

    I'm not into the childish games like Mario and Luigi. And I need a good racing game!

    What suggestions have you got for me??

    Just a heads up, there’s a massive sale going on right now in the eshop. Looks like even some of the popular Nintendo exclusives are slightly discounted too, although the biggest discounts are for the 3rd party and indie games. I use the US store but I assume other regions are having similar sales too (I think this is somewhat irrlevant though cause you can buy from any store you want).

    I think the sale ends on 12/4.

    Never played it. But know Xeno 2 is highly regarded so figured I'd wait for the remake first.

    Right, I need recommendations...

    I'm spending more time on my Switch than my PS4 because it's just easier when a 3 year old kid is watching the TV.

    I'm def gonna get a new game to play in this quarantined world but which one?

    I like JRPGs that have been westonised (if that's even a word).
    I've played and completed Zelda and just 100% completed FF12 Zodiac Age. Looking for something that are similar to those if possible?

    I'll eventually get Xenoblade 2 but as the first one is due out next month as a remake I'll wait to play that first. Unless there are ZERO links to the story like a standard Final Fantasy game?

    I'm a grown a--- man and I'm even contemplating getting the new Pokémon game. :emoji_disappointed:

    you have good picks already, definitely start with those
    for exclusives i recommend Fire Emblem Three Houses, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Mario Maker 2, and Mario + Rabbids, but really only if you're into these types of games
    also you should try Enter The Gungeon at some point
