Nintendo Switch

Has anyone played Let’s go Pikachu. Getting the kids a Switch for Christmas and my lads have got in to Pokemon and prefer the OG generation, probably because that’s all I know when they ask questions 😂 I can’t believe how expensive it is, to say it’s like 6 years old?

As a general rule of thumb.
The good games hold their value for years on end.
Zelda and Mario Kart for example are still strong money and they were original release games.
So if that's still high in price 6 years on, it must be a decent title.

Fair point, cheers! I’m hoping to be able to use it myself a bit. Got an OLED bundle from John Lewis for £269.

It's a tremendous gaming device. me and Luca have had proper fun on it since purchase. Oh and Mario and Sonic Olympics still plays very very well years after release, as do all the games.

We bought Luca it when he was 6, i'm not into giving him tech like ipads etc and thought it was a nice compromise and something we could do together, it's been brilliant. All the mario games are great, mario wonder he played so much with my missus.

There is the obvious learning curve but so much better than a kid taping an ipad screen, I don't want him doing that, so we have some games of the switch a few times during the week.

We bought him the special edition Zelda model oled, pre owned, it's been flawless. Oled is worth the upgrade for battery and screen imo.

I thought about getting the Mario party game as well and a few controllers so we can all play a bit too.

Having 4 controllers is a good idea or get a couple of "8 bit" controllers. Mario Kart obviously a must. We have a lot of games, 95% pre owned but they still hold good value.

Mario party is great fun (bear in mind I played this with Mrs and mates, no kids)
Can be super competitive.
You get 2 controllers with the switch so just buy a 2nd set of 'joy cons' and jobs a goodun

@seb

Just an idea of some of the games we picked up or he bought for birthday etc. Think we only have 2 or 3 digital games.

Just realised they aren't in order which is upsetting my OCD a little.
