*** Nintendo Switch ***

Usb-c is correct. I use a battery pack no issues.

Any of the big first party Nintendo games are fantastic. You won't go wrong with any of them.

Cheers, anyways breath of the wild has 163 game of the year awards https://nintendowire.com/news/2018/01/18/breath-wild-wins-163-goty-awards/ .

I like the idea where it is portable though thought about connecting it to my battery bank which holds about 20,000 ma so yea apparently it has a usb to usb-c cable i think, correct me if i am wrong.

It doesn't come with one in the box.

Sorry for asking a question that's probably been asked a million times already, but is there anyway to stop the Switch from down-clocking itself and dropping the resolution in handheld mode?

Is there no option to force the device to run at full speed at the cost of battery life? (could hook up to a power bank to compensate for example?)

Playing ZenoBlade 2 at the moment, and in handheld mode in large open area the resolution drop to crap. This is ridiculous as it is like constantly tell me to stop playing it handheld and play it on TV on docking mode instead!!

Talking with a couple of friends. We're all quite excited for Payday 2 and the idea of doing co-op group bank jobs with voice chat sounds hilarious.

I think I know where my money is going next

The res drop on XC2 is probably the worst example there is. There is no way around it. I saw a a mention that they are patching it to improve it but I'm not getting my hopes up too high. It is what it is.

Unfortunately all my friends pretty much only play offline coop so no Payday 2 coop for me.

Loads of great games are on discount on the eShop today.

Fifa is £27.99 if you're into that. Decent sale.

This is one of the reasons I haven't started the game gey. I'm waiting for the full package before I start.

I did the same for mario and rabbids.

 

[Moothead2]

I've kinda just gotten....bored of Mario and Rabbids. I'm at Chapter 4-3 so not too far from the end but I have no motivation to finish it. Strange because I really enjoyed it up to that point. The whole overworld thing between battles does feel really draining though if you go back looking for all the chests which is probably what burnt me out.

I stopped playing Skyrim for a week and I'm now really struggling to get back into it. I'm back to having a just Splatoon 2 machine despite having bought 5 games I'm yet to play (Axiom Verge, Mario & Rabbids, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Rayman Legends and Cave Story +).

This happens to me with Skyrim on all platforms, nd any other big games really. If I stop for anywhere longer than a week I almost never continue
