So, if I were lucky/stupid enough to have two switches in the house -perhaps imminently - can I play multiplayer MK or Splatoon or Arms or whatever on the separate screens but with only one copy of the game? I seem to think the DS and 3DS allowed this but perhaps money gauging means this isn't possible anymore?

Rats. Thanks Reg.

I didn't get on with Gungeon. The resource crush to get shortcuts was nonsense, and the way items worked was nowhere near as good as Isaac. Too many guns, not enough interesting synergy between items. Having to plod through the first stage to get anywhere was laborious in a way that Isaac never felt. 

I think Nuclear Throne does the action side of things much better, and Risk of Rain does synergies far better. Gungeon was a halfway house that just didn't work. It's like Flinthook in that it'd be a lot better as a well constructed set of levels with some light weapon and enemy randomisation thrown in for spice. The procgen works against both of those titles.

I think they should have had faith in their combat and movement system, their strong ideas for level design, and their cool bosses, and just made a proper action game. Everything about it that it borrowed from roguelikes it did in a way that made playing the game less fun.

I've died once already.

Completely disagree, thought the gaming mechanics were tight (roll in particular), the audio and visual design were spot on, loved the range of guns and tons of secrets.  
Much preferred it over Nuclear Throne (first few levels are very samey every run) and completely didn't go on with chance of rain.

All the impressions I've read have been very positive.

Oh, I bought that Strikers 1945. Don't make em like they used to etc etc. Playing in tate mode with joycons akimbo is a delight.

Further proof that the lack of power compared to the Bone/PS4 won't often matter with games containing cartoon style Nintendo characters (which will be most of them).

Kinda related. The hub world in Splatoon 2 runs like soggy treacle.

Did not expect that.

The rest of the game is butter though.

I've never noticed it running slow, seems just fine by me. Your squid strolls rather than barrels around though.

I've been disappointed with the slowdown in Zelda. I mean it's a massive world and it usually happens when there's lots of effects like rain but I still expect better of Nintendo. They need to bring that gold stamp back.

It's can be jarring, given the perpetual smoothness elsewhere.

I guess I use the menu too much to really notice

If it wasn't for War of the Chosen and Total Warhammer 2 i'd be on this, but there's no reason to settle for less than the best

Added a bunch of people earlier. Not everyone because it's a lot of people.
