The Witcher 3 edition of the Switch is now indispensible for me. Cross platform saves with Steam/GoG and adjustable graphics options! Unreal

Being able to turn off the heavy blur in handheld mode was a game changer for me, as handheld it just looked like vasoline-o-vision previously. Tweaking the settings now gives a pretty damn impressive presentation, and is much more playable (for me at least) because of that!

I'll have to give Witcher another go with all these updates

Same, couldn't get into Witcher at all when I last tried. Maybe nicer graphics will help, but I'm still not sure its the game for me.

Boo-urns to me! Looks like I finished the Witcher 3 before the cloud saves, or I didn't enable it, so I have nothing despite a few dozen hours invested! Ah well. I can do it all again!

Presume you've played BOTW - so why couldn't you get into the Witcher. Interested, as I'd like to get the Witcher. Also I'll have to give up my day job to play it and the kids can eat cornflakes. But, such is life.

But I'll probably wait until I grab a cheap PS4 or XBOX 'cause I rarely play handheld on switch ... and want to play this on a big screen.

I couldn't get into The Witcher BECAUSE I played BOTW

It just felt a little stiff and took itself so seriously. I hear very good things about it though, so its worth a try for sure. If I'm not enjoying a game after a few hours, I'm prety quick to drop it in favour of something I like. Life's too short to struggle through games/books/tv shows you're not into.

I agree with this, my playtime is limited these days so I need to play stuff I enjoy. I started Skyrim after BOTW and just could not get into it and traded it shortly afterwards. I’ve only a few hours gone into The Witcher 3 and it’s not grabbing me either so I started Darksiders instead on the Switch and really enjoying that.

Witcher 3 can take a while to see its full potential though. A lot of the side quests interlink with the main quests and each other so it can take a while to see the effects of that.

Mr.Saturn

BOTW puts a bit of a downer buzz on other open world efforts to be honest. Basic **** like being able to climb just about anything in BOTW makes everything else seem half-outdated.

That said, I'm a very recent convert to the school of "Witcher 3 is one of the GOATs." Just an absurdly involving game up and down.

Is that the new Darksiders Genisis game. It looks interesting. I loved Darksiders 1 and this looks in the same light just different camera angle.

I bought it haven't tried it yet have Snack World too

Anyone playing the Witcher on the switch lite? Just wondering how the text size is in game, (I usually play with subtitles on) and the in game menus in terms of readability?

Have zero problems with the text, an also playing on a lite.

i recently got Witcher 3 (not on Switch). I started and did the tutorial, and then just left it. It's not that i don't think it would be good - i think it would! It's just one of those games that demands your total attention and quite a chunk of your time, and i'm not willing to give it that at the moment. Maybe at some point in the future!

Ol' Donie

Is there any reason at all to think there might be a new Mario Kart ever?

MK8 is flippin 6 years old by now.

Any hint of a rumour or anything?

RobbingBandit

Servers still hopping so probably new character dlc would be best hope. Still haven't bought it myself it's on the list for summer I think

Mr E

Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time out in the summer. Looks class!

Looks great! Great character for a video game too.

RobbingBandit

Is there any info on Panzer Dragoon yet

I find it good for pick-up-and-put-down playing. There's loads of small quests you can do if you only have 5-10mins and even the main story line bits can be paused and resumed if you just hit the power button.

Started the Witcher 3 last night after trying and failing for the 4th time to get into Witcher 2. Not sure why but I just found the combat clunky and inaccessible in Witcher 2. Even basic fights resulted in death and a lot of back-tracking. Not sure I've the patience for it. Witcher 3 has good depth but the combat seems more fluid and accessible.

Mr E

A Ninja-Gaidan-alike eh? Well I'm terrible at those sorts of games, so I immediately hate it Part of me had wondered if Yacht Club's next release might dabble in a 16-bit palette instead of keeping with the 8-bit form.

Got into W3 until the point where you answer the questions to outline your path in W2. Couldn't do it in good conscience. Trying W2 for the 5th time. Going better than before tho. Think I might stick.

Mekorama ... Captain toad like puzzler ...
But just doesn't have that crystal clear design, super smooth animation, gorgeous music and beauty of captain toad.

I'm just saying that Nintendo have the chops and the cash to polish the **** out of their first party games.

Thinking a captain toad treasure tracker adventure RPG would be cool. Shame to waste those Mario 3d world graphics and aesthetic

Played Mekorama about 5 years ago on Android (might be an exaggeration). It is a fun puzzler and all but really is a mobile game. If anyone wants to try it get it much cheaper in their phone.

The Persistence, previously a PSVR exclusive, is releasing on all other 'flat' platforms including Switch.

Really good game on PSVR, quite tough too. Will be a nice addition to Switch catalogue, especially for anyone looking for that Alien, Dead Space etc type game.
