    Just wondering, did this end up making much of a difference for you? Thinking I might look into it as well, Switch's wi-fi can be so flaky! :shakehead

    Yes it did actually! Download speeds have improved, as has Splatoon and Mario Kart's performance. 

    Problem with Rocket League, I'm guessing, is my ping. It's always in the high 70s and 80s, but I think that's because I'm in Russia and further away from the servers, but I've certainly had much fewer disconnections and crazyness like the gif which was posted above. Now the only problem is occasional stuttering, but it's much rarer than when I was on wifi. 

    I say go for it! Wired will always be better than wi-fi.

  2. The majority of the new blood at IGN really irritate me. I just can't listen to them. Brian, Daemon and Peer are obviously great and I actually don't mind Filip, even though I think he's struggling in the role of presenter. The rest of them however contribute very little to a discussion. Bring back Cass and Bozon! :D Used to love NVC when it was just those two. There are far more entertaining and informed podcasts available than anything IGN puts out these days.

  3. Lostwinds was such a great game. I remember coming and downloading it immediately as well. Didn't manage to finish it one sitting but I agree with your sentiments. For me a WiiWare game never really bettered it...

    Well, that sucks. I wanted to get Enter the Gungeon from the Mexican eShop, it's really cheap there - about £4.5. It's not a game I really want but at that price I wanted to try it out. Won't be buying it then as I don't want to go through the hassle of setting up a PayPal account for this.

    @ArtMediocre, Ja, jeg bor i København. :)

     

     

    Try the Russian eShop. It's 249 roubles on there, about £3.

    Daaaaaaamn! :o 

    Labo is going to be huge I reckon. I mean the standard stuff looks really fun anyway, but the scope for customisation and of course  experimentation seems on another level! :cool: Was not expecting it to be as deep as this, that’s for sure.

    Yeah, I'm mega impressed by what I've seen so far. Might pick the variety pack up myself even though I have no kids... Classic Nintendo: easy to pick up, tough to master! :heh:

    I find it baffling that we have yet to get these things on the system. Surely you look at what you've already got, bring over the best bits and then build upon that, rather than starting from beginning again? Crazy.::shrug:

    Nintendo.

  7. Stolen from ResetEra but I think it rings true in this case:

    "Give a man a handsome reward, and he'll be pleased.


    Give a man no reward, and he'll have done it as a kindhearted service.


    Give a man a very small reward, and he'll feel cheated. 

    Give a man a meh reward, then decide said reward is worth less than it should be, THEN split up his reward because he had to move to a different county despite endless promises of the Switch being 'region free' and he'll want to smash his console on the laminate floor in protest."

    Yeah the last one is mine, obviously, but OP has a point.

    Did you buy any games from another region? Apparently the points are region specific.

    If you bought anything from a different region, the coins are now hidden until you switch regions back.  They're not gone.  They're region specific though.

  9. I've noticed the lag has been getting worse recently. I've even been timed out and booted out of a couple of games. As a result I've dropped a tenner on a USB Ethernet adapter while I'm back home. Hoping that improves things a little bit as my Switch is far away from thw router in my new place and I'm only getting one bar of signal. Even Balloon World has been taking 20-30 seconds to load on occasion :nono:

  10. The Switch has already cemented itself as my favourite console of all time. It has been a pure joy owning one for this first year. Zelda, Mario, Splatoon 2 and ARMS are some of the best games I've played in years, not to mention the wonders of the indie titles. Long may the momentum carry Nintendo forward, can't wait to see what the next 4 or so years have in store. What a turnaround from the Wii U.

  11. Surely major train lines and airports would have some kind of contingency plan though? Instead of just outright cancelling everything left, right and centre. So typical of the UK skimping on stuff which costs a bit of money. 

  12. Majorly pissed off (and a little bit pissed). Was supposed to be coming home for a holiday and I've already had two flights cancelled. I was supposed to fly from Riga to Leeds last night, cancelled. Then I got a bus to Vilnius, Lithuania where I was supposed to fly to Leeds this morning, cancelled. Literally 5 mins after the bus left I got an sms informing me of it. So now I have to fly to Birmingham and almost all the trains to York have been, you guessed it, cancelled. So now I have to stay in Birmingham or get a train to Manchester and lose another day of my holiday.

    Coming home from Russia, where it's been the better part of -25 for the past couple of weeks and we've had 40 cm of snow, I don't understand how England is so bloody incapable of dealing with it. Reading headlines like "snow BATTERS the UK" really wind me up. It's a few inches of frozen water. The country is so small and the roads are so good (compared to Russia at least) that it's hilarious how inept they seem to be in the face of a bit of bad weather. 

    On buses, hotels and food I most have spent about 100 quid, and Ryanair will be getting the bill. Absolutely absurd that I've had to go through this all because of a couple of inches of snow. Boggles the mind. Thanks for reading my rant. Enjoy the snow.

    I used the Pro controller analog stick and thought it was perfect

    This is true. Had absolutely no problems with the pro controller, controls like a dream. Joy-cons are probably a different story though...

    Didn’t see the post either. So back on track. 

    Will they listen to the backlash on forcing the use of the app for voice chat and lobbies and such and build it into the switch?

    It's Nintendo, so no :D

    Reggie will come out at E3 talking about a "unique" and "innovative" online, which will for all intents and purposes be sub-par and cumbersome. Yay!
