What would I get for an OG 2017 Switch?

Lots as it's hackable.  Ebay dont trade in

And then I read this and I'm thinking, sell the Lite to fund the OLED, then look at hacking my OG model instead. x

DM me if you need help hacking it

I've DM'd you mate

I bought it.

Rayman is digital only I think, if you buy the box you don't get the cart iirc.

This has a cart.

Re: Sponge Bob.. six year old son loves Sponge Bob and video games so it seemed like a natural fit.

My switch is still in a moving box lol.

Bugger. Was going to post up a link to my physical collection. Can't put it on Twitter, but it is here:

I think I've added Warioware, Mario Golf and Metroid Dread since that picture was taken

Ori's a stunning game Davy. Not sure where you stand on Metroidvania types other than Super Metroid but it might be worth a look, it's still one of the nicest looking 2D games available and the Switch port is top notch.

Can confirm the Switch version of Banana Mania is good, seems to run at 60fps in single player. So much content, it'll probably end up GotY for me.

Haven't even looked at Ori I have to admit.  Darius on Switch is stunning but uncontrollable with the joycons and the 8bitDo isn't to my liking either as I'm hard-wired to use sticks with shmups now. The Hori mini will probably be good enough for me. If Musihimesama and Crimzon Clover get physical releases I'll probably get a stick. For now I'll wait as I have them on Steam.  Castle Shikigami 2 with extra content is due out too.

Re Metroidvania - that change caused me to abandon the series. I loved Super Metroid but it was enough for me.

The games that work with the joycons are all splendid but I'm just not spending a lot of time on the Switch.

oh - that Ori game looks lovely. Very Metroid-ey but maybe I'm ready for another game like that.

There's not a lot of exploration involved, usually just a glowing 'go here' marker on the map that you head towards via the tightly designed platform sections. Top ten ever for me, the sequel edges it for most on here but even with the auto-aim combat and manual save points Blind Forest is my pick. Cracker.

That suits me fine. I have a limited appetite for exploring.  Branching/twin linear paths leading to the same destination are more my thing.

I thought the backtracking in Super Metroid was great at the time - esp. once you had a new suit or weapon and really got to learn the map. But I was young and single. Too old for that shit now. 

I'm betting there is. I'd love to really get into a Castlevania game in that vein as I love that IP. I love the idea of it, but when it comes to doing it , I usually lose interest and give up.

I picked SOTN out of a bargain bin in GAME many years ago for £5. The was the special edition complete with soundtrack and art book.

I was devastated when I tried playing it and didn't like it. Went back to it several times but just didn't click with it. I kept it for years and sold it about 5 years ago.  Loved he look and design but seeing all those items, exploration etc just felt too much like work.

Then when I heard all the GBA games were the same that was me. Haven't played a new game apart from Rebirth which is linear apart from a few shortcuts and alternate paths.

I finally played Symphony of the Night last year, after feeling much the same way as Davy since launch. It's a great game but I still prefer IV and Bloodlines (both general level progression types).

Well, user and data transfer between consoles was painless. Good to go!
