Completed Zelda BOTW the other day.

Honestly don't know what to do with myself. I feel lost.


Probably should check in on the family. See how my kid is.


Having said that, I've not found all of the Koroks yet...

Only just saw this, so apologies for the slow response.

 

I'd advise strongly against that course of action for your own sanity.

Breath of the Wild 2 delayed to Spring 2023

 

 

Seen rumours that this is at least partially so that they won't have to compete with Elden Ring for Game of the Year, which would make sense.

I'm an old man. there's no point denying it.

However, I own a, sorry my kid owns a Nintendo Switch.

We want to get another controller for it (preferably like the one that comes with it that can split in to two little ones). 

Can anyone recommend any non-brand cheap alternatives?

Ta!

Depends on what your cup of tea is.

 

Single player games you can't go wrong with Zelda BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem, Monster Hunter Rise any of the Pokemon games, Luigi's Mansion 3 or New Horizons

Family games: Mario Kart 8, Mario Party (even if it is rigged), Switch Sports

Odd ball games like Tetris 99 and Golf Story worth a look too.

 

Enjoy it!

Switch games keep their value really well.  Buying and selling on eBay and you can, in most cases, move the games on for basically what you paid.

If you're after a few cheaper ones to go alongside the heavy hitters then I'd throw Hades, Hollow Knight, Dead Cells, Into the Breach and Stardew Valley into the mix, all dependent on your personal tastes of course. Hades in particular is one of my favourite games of the last few years and is a great fit for handheld mode. Disco Elysium also received a port fairly recently and is well worth experiencing but I can't personally vouch for how well it runs or controls on Switch.

Mario Party Superstars is decent enough as a family orientated game.  According to reddit users it's better than Mario Party.  Managed to get it at 35 quid in a shopto sale a month ago so try shopping around.

Overcooked 2 and Luigis Mansion are both enjoyable multiplayer games too, think you can get Overcooked 2 for about 20 quid if not less.

Depends on your tastes but there’s currently a shed load of 2D platformers on the system…

 

If you liked the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy in the SNES (play them on NSO if you haven’t already) then there are three games just like them on Switch…

 

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

A masterpiece in 2D platforming. 
 

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

Created by a few members of the Rareware team that were behind the original SNES DKC games.
 

Kaze and the Wild Masks

A love letter to the DKC series. I got it cheap on sale the other day for £8.99 (may still be on sale) and it’s superb.

 

All three cracking games if you enjoy the original DKC games.

Whst exactly is Fall Guys? Lot of noise about it being free from today, is it any good?

Think of it like a 60-player version of one of those slapstick gameshows like Total Wipeout or Takeshi's Castle. Each match has four or five rounds with people getting eliminated at the end of each until the finale decides the winner. I've not played since it first launched on PlayStation but there was a decent variety of rounds then - fairly straightforward obstacle course races, memory puzzles, team events etc. - and no doubt more will have been added in the meantime.

 

I think it's best with a few friends when everyone's taking the piss out of eachother and getting rattled by the ragdoll physics but regardless you'll probably get a few laughs from it so worth a crack for free I'd say.

I'm thinking of buying a Switch for my boy for his 6th birthday in a couple of months (it's for him, I promise lol )

 

He's currently obsessed with watching Mario games on youtube, so would rather get him playing them instead. I think he watches various mini-games so with my limited research, does that mean Mario Party Superstars is the best game to go for? 

 

I'm no gamer, certainly over the last few years, so will have to do a bit research to see how it all works but is it ok for 6 year olds? I was thinking of going for the cheaper lite option but I think it makes longer term sense to go for dearer option.

Definitely go for the full Switch version, and its Mario Party you're after. For reference, we have one of each. My lad has the lite and plays Mario party on that, but its so much better to get everyone involved on a big screen. He's been playing it since he was 4, so very easy to work and understand
