Do any of you grown ups have a Nintendo switch ?

If so, what do you play? Are they good ?
I'm not a huge game player but I'm very tempted by the pink switch lite

Yep me & my DH have one, we do have son but at 18 months he's not interested lol! We have about 4 mario games! It's really good

My mum got one for myself and my husband for Christmas!

We are playing Mario, Zelda and animal crossing on it at the moment

Also got the ring fit!

We are gamers though - we have a PlayStation as well :)

51 worldwide games is good, not quite as good as the DS version used to be if anyone remembers that but still good, and you've obviously got the benefit that you get a selection of different games for your money then too

I’ve got a blue switch lite, and I love it. Animal crossing is my favourite game followed by pokemon Grin

I bought one and 40. I love it. Ultimate distraction. I bought the full version. Play with my bubble friend once a week. We are trying to complete Mario deluxe in 2 player.

Helps distract my mind for a few hours. Played with it most days I got it. Also played online with my friends kids when they didn’t have any friends who had it

Thank for all the replies

I am sold 😊 I thought it might provide some easy distraction

Zelda might be £50, but I've easily lost over 200 hours finding and completing all the shrines and that's before going on to complete the game for the first time. If i worked out cost per hour it would easily be excellent value.

DH bought me Hyrule Warriors for Christmas, I'm mostly playing it 2- player with him or DD. Grin We play Mario Kart together too, which I don't think n you can do as easily with the Lite version?

My child has one, they really are brilliant devices. Excellent parental controls too. The games are fun with lots of family ones available. We have other consoles and this is the most used.

SweetPetrichor · 13/01/2021 10:03

We have one and there's no kids in our household. I like Zelda, Stardew Valley, minecraft, animal crossing, any mario games, octopath traveller, etc. Lots of fun games.

Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda Zelda
And dragon quest
We also joined the Nintendo online thing and I’ve been smashing Mario 3, I even remember all the cheats

zenasfuck · 13/01/2021 16:19

42 year old addicted to Animal Crossing here!

Tomnooktoldmeto · 13/01/2021 17:28

We all have them in our house DH me DD 18 DS 17 we play all sorts of games individually but as a family all have animal crossing that we’ve been playing for 12 years

It’s been great escapism as we’ve all been at home since March

DH DD and DS all have adhd, we find short bursts in breaks or at lunch actually helps them focus more

I’ve just got 51 world wide games but not started yet
