Well I can say Im enjoying stardew valley vr. Just waiting on my veggies to grow, wish it was quick like the game though

Stardee valley... Vr?

@NintendoByNature I was excited, until I realized you were talking about real life gardening 😂

@Morpheel yea its me in my backyard growing crops and whacking things with a shovel

@HobbitGamer haha yea spoiler alert, it's not real, just a fool acting like he knows how to garden

That would be RR, not VR.

I tried.. and failed.. in more ways than one 😣

@HobbitGamer All their base is belong to them.

@ThanosReXXX I'm really good at managing to injure myself with ostensibly harmless objects!

@ThanosReXXX - The Bitmap books look really high quality. I think NL reviewed one or two of them. I would love a copy of the Artcade book. I see there’s new stock coming soon. I’ve never played Commodore hardware. They look like a lot of fun. I’d love to sit down with you and play yours and get a crash course. I know we’ve talked about this before, but what an introduction you had with Nintendo. N64 is still my favorite hardware, with some of my all time favorite software. Switch has been pretty special so far, so who knows?

@bimmy-lee Dude you sound like a pretty cool dad! Always love hearing about parents and kids who can spend time together doing things like this. Too often on the news and TV you only hear about the worst parents can be...

@Heavyarms55 - Ha, thanks. I do my best to not do terrible stuff to them. I do enjoy watching their faces when they walk into a big arcade with dozens of machines lighting up. It’s a lot different than in my day. But yeah, to make the Apple news app, the headline would probably have to be, “Father takes children to arcade... Trades them for Stimutax... Goes on three day Skee Ball bender... loses everything!”

Sweeeet, I'd love to hit up a good arcade..if I can find one

@bimmy-lee That's true, and the kids would be lucky that's all that happened to them. I used to follow the news obsessively, let me tell you, stories about parts forgetting their children in the car, in summer, are far more common than they should be...

Real nice find. I’d love to pump some quarters into all those. Especially Metal Slug, Tekken 7, and Kart. Candy cabs are gorgeous. Everything I played today was pretty new. There was a VR station that was all roped off and behind curtains. We didn’t try it. Even if I was there on my own, public headsets creep me out.

I have a retro game store that's a few minutes away, and that doubles as an arcade too. It's a very good one at that, too. Besides games like Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2, it's got Nintendo arcade games like Donkey Kong, Vs. Super Mario Bros., Punch-Out, and Mario Kart Arcade GP (the first one, by the way). There's plenty of pinball machines too, including one that has a Mario theme (fun fact: it was the first time Charles Martinet did Mario's voice!).

I’d drop mad quarters to play an arcade cab or Punch Out.

Ironically, I have this exact same problem. I'd love to frequent a good arcade...but none have been around here since I was a young Larvinexx. The best alternatives are a couple of machines scattered at random area businesses like a bowling alley and the occasional bar.

I noticed there was a nice looking Klondike solitaire game on sale on the eshop, and I thought hey I don’t have that on the switch yet.

So I downloaded it and it’s indeed a nice version. Pretty graphics, nice music, lots of things to unlock and customize the game with... But it has a fatal flaw... An ugly oversight...

WHY would you make a solitaire game on a system with a touch screen, and NOT use it!?

Sigh... like, it would be so much better with it. Pointer controls would be nice for docked mode too, but I feel like touch controls should be a basic must for games like these when available.

My feet still felt a bit pain after playing DDR Ace Arcade yesterday.

Woot! Modded my joy-cons! D-pad white joy-cons! Very nice! First ever hard mod of a console!
