If anyone wanted to know what I'm doing with my Switch: its in my car and I'm going to take it home and dock it and kill Ganon. In the morning I'm going to put it back in my car and play FAST RMX during lunch.

I played some golf on the back patio earlier, then like a chump bitch i placed it in the dock to just sit there and lose value until tomorrow when i play some more golf before work.

If I sold it now, I'd get 259.99GBP for it. I'd then buy it in the future (whenever that is) for retail price again. Meaning I'd have a net loss of 20 quid, which - again - for 3 weeks use really isn't that big a deal.

You could keep it, and not lose the quid. If you're gonna put that money to work for you and spin that 260 into 300 or so could you do me a solid and let me in on your investments?

Just to lay this whole issue to rest: I could straight up put the Switch up for sale on Amazon right now for 279.99GBP. I would be getting 95% of the cost back, cause Amazon takes 10 or 15GBP as their cut. I am more than happy with losing that tiny amount of money for a solid 3 weeks of use (it'd sorta be like me having rented the console for 3 weeks!). My reasoning behind selling it now is 1) I get a lump of money back I can use for whatever (even though I'm not in dire need of money) 2) I literally won't touch it for a long time cause I've exhausted Zelda and there are no games coming out in the foreseeable future that I want 3) There's literally no stock anywhere, my console is in great shape, it'd be nice to throw it out there at retail price to save some poor fucker succumbing to the horrid prices some people are selling the console for (people are putting brand new and used - like new consoles up for 350GBP).

All you lot talking about me losing money when I buy it again in the future, I don't mind if it's out of stock come the time I want to buy a Switch again. Only game I'd sorta be hype for is Mario Odyssey and Pikmin (if they release one), but not to the point where I'd die a little inside having to wait. I'm a huge Zelda fan so I wanted to get it on launch along with the Switch to try it out, but my intention from the get-go was to sell it on once I'd finished and had my fill of the game. Snipperclips is a good shout, but tbh me and all my friends in uni are hella swamped with assignments right now cause semester 2 is a nightmare.

So I dunno why you all seem to think I'd be losing heaps of cash selling it now when I really wouldn't be. And if 8 months down the line when I wanna pick a Switch up again but it's sold out, I really won't mind waiting since I got to try it out now, and I'm not anywhere near as hype for a game as I was for BotW. I could leave my console collecting dust but I am 100% certain I won't touch it again for ages. My life nowadays isn't spent binging video games, I mainly just watch TV cause I'm always too tired from work to play games, so I'd rather have that cash in my pocket now to spend on other stuff if I want.


This is dumb. Main difference between a Switch and a car is I actually need my car for everyday use. I can live without a Switch. I've had my fill of it, I got all the hype out of my system, I really like the console and I know if I wanna pick it up later down the line, waiting until it's in stock won't kill me.

I really don't know why a lot of you are being so toxic over such a silly thing. I've had the game for 3 weeks and was playing it for an obscene amount of hours most days. I'm happy with the enjoyment I got from the game, but I've exhausted myself on it and don't feel the need to play it anymore until new stuff gets released.

I'ma sift through your replies now and feel bad because people are being mean to me over the internet.

Hopefully nintendo will iron out some of the hardware problems the switch has so rebuying a switch down the line might be a good idea after all.

Maybe there will even be a Switch Pro or New Switch at some point.

I played BotW on a Wii U and am holding out for a brand new pokemon myself.

My switch is in the cradle because I'm about to gently caress up the final 2 shrines, the 4th divine beast, and then Ganon's sorry rear end.

Then I'm going to run through Tomb Raider 2 and RE7 while I wait for Mario Kart and Splatoon and occasionally play Binding of Isaac on the go.

Firstly, all of you ignoring the question I asked to talk to me as if I'm some big goober who is dumb enough to sell the Switch at less than what I bought it for.

I won't be playing the Switch for the next few months, as no games I want are coming out in that time. Zelda stuff won't be released for a good long while yet. I can sell the Switch right now, in all it's original packaging (that I kept in good condition just for this purpose) at the exact same price I bought it for. I could be an rear end in a top hat and gouge the price up due to Amazon not having it in stock, but I'm not an rear end in a top hat like that. There's no point in me keeping the console for ~4 months without touching it whilst it just collects dust and becomes harder to sell for next to retail price. Most I'll lose if I sell it right now is around 15 quid (the cut Amazon takes) which is more than okay for me, since I've definitely gotten 15 quids worth out of it. I sold the Wii U 4 months ago and got 80% of retail for it. No point in keeping the console now and potentially losing the box and stuff when I could just sell it now for 95% of it's price and put the money towards something else.

So can we all focus on the question I asked: is there a way for me to backup my BotW save?


Only game I was super hype for was Zelda. Future games that come out that I want won't have me frothing at the mouth to play them, so if poo poo's out of stock come then, I can wait.

Yea the eMMC chip is a separate board so just remove it before selling

Guys Gamestop said my order would ship by the 31st but it showed up on friday and I have been ignoring my wife and children all weekend playing Zelda, except for the times I was playing Shovel Knight and Snipper Clips with my wife and children.

The Switch is awesome (and super tiny, wtf?). Breath of the Wild is incredible. Snipper Clips is GotY. I had never heard of shovel knight before the switch came out but everyone in my family loves it even though it gets kinda hard.

Is Just Dance worth getting? My wife really enjoyed the DDR games on playstation back in the day, will that translate? The trailer I watched look super gay.

Edit: I tamed a horse and I was going to name it Dingus but my daughter said it was a girl horse no I named it Dinga.

I'm biased and generally frown upon motion controls, but VOEZ is much closer in terms of bemani gameplay you'd find in DDR. The use your fingers and not feet though, not sure if that would be dealbreaker. Game is F2P on phones, so you can try it out and see if its her jam. I think the switch version is the one to get since you get e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ a lot for a flat 25 bucks without the F2P model.

I have a hard enough time lending to family members. People just don't respect or treat with care something that isn't theirs (at least not as much as I care for my own things, since I've worked my rear end off to get them). And I know for a fact if I lent it to a friend and it ended up breaking, they'd be unable to pay for it. We're all students. Why would I take that risk, especially if they did accidentally break it, it'd put a strain on the relationship.

Why don't you sell those two balls you obviously aren't using at the moment. They're only gathering dust and depreciating in value.

Also who the gently caress says 259.99GBP? It's Ł259.99. People have heard of the UK currency it's not like Rwanda or Canada or somewhere.

Treasure Trove is the only way to get the base campaign on Switch. The cheaper version is just the standalone second dlc, presumably for people who own the game on other platforms and don't want to rebuy it.

I think the Specter Knight campaign is actually considerably better than the Shovel Knight campaign. Better level design, music, more fun movement mechanics.

What they are saying is basically a death sentence for turn based RPGs, that the game is arbitrarily hard because it randomly generates scenarios that don't allow for player choice to overcome the obstacles. Also the story is garbage (there really isnt any story).
