bigger screen, bigger magnetically attached controllers, and a stand that (hopefully) doesn't snap off

Some guesses about the performance:

€80 per game?!

€80 per game?!

That's for the digital, apparently - if you want a physical copy it's €90 odd (the teenager has been briefing me on this).

Got one. More of the same, but deadly!

Can you play old Switch games on it?

 

[dudley]

You certainly can, and Nintendo have released (paid) patches for all the big ones, like Zelda, so they look amazing now.

Same! After so much Mario Kart 8 it feels weird to have to learn anything new but I know I'll be playing World regularly for years.

And I have a ridiculous backlog of stuff bought over the last few years to get through.

This looked pretty good on my cheapo Samsung tv to start with and then started to look horrible. A man on YouTube has explained what a shambles the HDR implementation is and how to fix it.

Mario Kart is really started to settle with me now after the initial unfamiliarity. Online knockout races are total carnage. I finally managed 2nd place in one last night. And a friend is getting one today so going to give Gamechat a go shortly.
