Nintendo Switch
Discussion
We went for the switch lite, bought more for my son but got a good deal on it. Didn't have any plans for online/multi or TV play either. It's a great bit of kit and really nostalgic playing some of the old SNES games.
Just bought Mario Vs Donkey Kong which is good, although the difficulty ramps up really quickly which is frustrating for my son.
Mario Kart is also brilliant.
Tempted to get Tony Hawks next for myself

Now get yourself on dekudeals to get price drop alerts for games you want
Thanks, that's a dangerous website, was uming and erring on Red Redemption but at £30 for physical game (I try and avoid downloads if poss) was too good to turn down (via Argos)Red Dead Redemption was one of my favourite games on the X-Box, it is just as good on the Switch, plus it is now portable.

What Micro SD cards are people using, I've seen some "game specific" ones which are more expensive and wondered if needed/ worth it?
Thanks
I use the Nintendo-licensed cards by SanDisk - a bit frivolous, but they're often on sale so not much more than a standard card and they look nicer Thanks
Look at the specs of those cards, and just buy any equivalent - I've always used SanDisk cards for GoPros, drones, cameras, etc. and never had issues with them.
Should any headset / mic work with the switch or does it have to be something specific?
I've got one that I use with the Xbox - doesn't work
and i've tried my work ones - Poly Black wire C5220 USB-C - both plugged into the USB C and the Audio jack - I can hear through them but the mic doesn't seem to work.
What am I missing?

how many pins are on the 3.5mm end of that audio jack? if it's only two that could be the reason why?I've got one that I use with the Xbox - doesn't work

I was always under the impression a mic is of no use with the I've got one that I use with the Xbox - doesn't work

Switch. Unlike Sony and MS/ Xbox where u can chat through the headset when playing online, Nintendo don't do this and you have to download an app and use tablet / mobile when playing.
Due to this faff, we rarely use it, I'd guess the last time was over a year ago so maybe Nintendo has changed this?
Pins on the end of the audio jack?? is that what the ridges are?! Learn something new every day! I'll check once at home, however if the mic works on the xbox shouldn't it work on the switch too?
And ref the question on if switch allows mic chat - i don't actually know, i thought so as it was an option on Fortnite(!) and I can hear people talking?

Done a bit of digging. Chat should work in Fortnite without using the stupid Nintendo voice chat app, but you need to go into game settings to allow it.

I've got a feeling that the problem is actually because my little boy is under 13. I'm not sure it can be activated at all.
it can be - did you check the settings here?https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_Fo...

not sure if you need to push to talk or you can leave it as "hot mic" on the Switch
