I'm hyped. Currently playing through Sonic Mania, purchased for 699 rubles on the Russian eShop i.e. about six quid cheaper than the UK one. It's a doddle to change region on a web browser before going into the device's eshop to purchase. It saved me a tenner on Splatoon 2 as well. And you're just telling us about this now, why?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) You never asked? I bought Splatoon 2 on the South African store - I tend to buy physical releases of AAA titles to sell on again, but I gathered I will be dipping in and out of Splatoon for the duration of owning the console. Both eshops took my credit card no problem. I read the US store needs a home address but I've not used it yet.

bunglebonce Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Go to your Nintendo account on a web browser. Find your profile settings. Change region to Russia/South Africa. Go into the eShop on the Switch, which will log in under the new region's store. Make your purchase - the two regions above worked with my credit card. Prices are set differently per region. It then starts downloading. Its that simple. I changed the region back immediately in the web browser, so I don't have any Russian in the news feed. I've made two purchases so far with no adverse consequences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I just bought a Switch the other day. Slightly regretting buying it with Mario Kart, not that its a bad game or anything. Its just my son had a go and won't stop playing it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) If anyone is thinking about buying a Switch, Game.co.uk are running a day only £20 off deal. Also, has anyone bought a screen protector for their Switch? I wasn't going to bother but the screen looks about as robust as my Iphone, which I have already replaced the protector twice!!

Got the boy his Nintendo Switch at the weekend thanks to his Mother, so it's been put away safely for Christmas. Just need to get him a few games, he wants MarioKart and the Pokemon Battle game when it comes out. I don't think he would be that bothered with Zelda in all honesty, but think I'll probably pick it up for myself to play when he's not using it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had also ordered one from Amazon France, but the Game one is £15 cheaper. I'll wait a day or so and cancel the Amazon one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naegoodinthedark Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Right gents, I'm bored with my Xbox and its games and looking for something different. Really tempted to get the switch to play zelda (never played any of them). What's the deal with controllers? Does it come with 1 or 2?Would you recommend this for a "mature" gamer (auld c**t) of 45? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say i'm old but ive been playing video games for 30 years! I've never played a Zelda game either and I'm enjoying the Switch version so far. Also Mario Kart is really good fun as well. The Switch comes with 2 joycons. These can either be connected to either the side of the portable unit and be used as side controllers. Or you can hold one in each hand whilst you look at the screen. If you have the Switch connected to a TV via the docking station you can use the joycons as seprate controllers. The joycons are a bit small to be used on their own so i've bought one of the pro controllers which is more like your standard ps4/xbox controller. Hope that helps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee jerk reaction Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Tried to log on here last night but couldn't get a signal! Tesco direct have a £5 off offer for super mario oddessey so can be bought for £37, not a bad price. Think offer runs out today. (I used Clubcard vouchers as well so got game pre ordered for £33) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
