Topic: Adult Switch Gamers

@Bunkerneath I own DKC: TROPICAL FREEZE on Wii U but still haven't played it through to the end ☺️

Other games sound fun but like with a few other people in the forum. I'm also US based on the west coast and it's very difficult to join in on game nights. I was on the east coast for the past 2 months so it made it a littler easier, but now I'm back home in west coast.

I’ve preordered SF Collection so I’m down for that for sure.

I’d also be interested in Doom. I’ve been meaning to send out an invite on that, I know a few of us have that game as well.

I’m also interested in a US based game night, but being on the West Coast, it’s hard for me to organize anything during the week as I wouldn’t be gaming until 9pm at the earliest, which is midnight on the East Coast. That is too late for most outside of the Pacific & Mountain time zones.

The UK time works well as it’s right at my lunch break.

I was thinking about buying Splatoon, but I am afraid about my free time It looks like it could consume as much time as Rocket League...
I will probably invest in Mario Tenis, when it comes out, since it doesn't seem to be so demanding on time (at least I hope so...)

I am also on U.S. west coast time, but I work nights so that's why the 8pm GMT works well for me. I could organize something for Splat2n for a time that's more convenient for those of us on this side of the world, but my schedule fluctuates week to week so I wouldn't be able to guarantee a specific day every week. As for Splat Fests, do USA and Europe have the same Splat Fest at the same time this week? The Ralph v. Donald? I haven't tried team battles yet so that would be one way we could all play together. Also, I'm sure you've read already but for anyone on the fence about Mario Tennis there is a free demo/tournament on June 1st. As for the Mega Man suit in MK8D I got the Mega Man Amiibo so I could unlock the extra challenges in Mega Man Legacy Collection (already downloaded, just waiting until next week) and was quite delighted to see that it unlocked that suit for Mii. Jump! Jump! (Power)slide! (Power)slide!

@electrolite77 Perfect! Cheers for that Had good experiences with Orzly products in the past, so I'll keep those bookmarked!

@NaviAndMii yea the ones I got are orzly. Highly recommended.

What are peoples' thoughts regarding Thursday evening then? ..start the 'rotation' idea that's been floated? ..or just stick with our usual Rocket League session for this week? (..if so, I'll get something set up for us tomorrow )

Cheers!

@Chris77 Oh nice! Double endorsement! Good price too - and cord length! I'll likely grab a couple soon-ish - thanks for that!

@NaviAndMii Happy to do ROCKET LEAGUE this week as usual. I think we are going to start the rotation with a vote for the alternative game to play? Think @Fafounet is sorting out the poll? If we can get it agreed before Monday, we could make that the first week of the new game?

@Lroy Sounds good to me! I'm away next week, but I'm sure it won't take me long to get up to speed upon my return!

Rocket League it is then! ..who else is in? (probably starting at around 8:30ish BST tomorrow evening)

Sorry for the delay, and as promised, here is the poll on suggested games to alternative with for our respective gaming evenings on Monday and Thursday. I hope I have included everyone. Went through the history of posts the old fashioned way - took longer than I thought. I am sure there is a more tech savvy way to go about it, but I am clueless - sorry! Please feel free to include anyone else I may have forgotten. Also, I think I covered most of the games playable online. But let me know if there is any big omission.
As a lot of us all are on different time zones, I guess this poll only applies to whomever is able to participate on Monday and Thursday. However, I have incorporated a section to suggest any other date/day that may work for everyone - worth a shot to see if we can make it work for more people.

Could I please ask everyone to vote on the following. Please do not vote for the same game twice throughout the four categories (i.e if you vote for Doom in one category, you cant vote for it in any of the other categories). I'll collate once we think everyone has voted.

CATEGORY 1
Monday evenings: Current game Mario Kart Deluxe 8
Suggested multiplayer online games to rotate with on a fortnight basis (up to 2 votes please):
Vote for Splatoon 2
Vote for Puyo Puyo Tetris
Vote for Doom
Vote for Arms
Vote for Super Bomberman R

CATEGORY 2
MONDAY evenings: Current game Mario Kart Deluxe 8
Suggested multiplayer ANNOUNCED online games to rotate with on a fortnight basis (1 vote please):
Street Fighter Collection
Mario Tennis Aces
Sushi Stricker
I wont add Super Smash Bros, because I think it is probably a given that it will become a favourite?

CATEGORY 3
THURSDAY evenings: Current game Rocket League
Suggested multiplayer online games to rotate with on a fortnight basis (up to 2 votes please):
Vote for Splatoon 2
Vote for Puyo Puyo Tetris
Vote for Doom
Vote for Arms
Vote for Super Bomberman R

CATEGORY 4
THURSDAY evenings: Current game Rocket League
Suggested multiplayer ANNOUNCED online games to rotate with on a fortnight basis (1 vote please):
Street Fighter Collection
Mario Tennis Aces
Sushi Stricker

Other suggested UK times/days for online gaming instead of the current arrangements:
Tuesday PM - evening
Wednesday PM - evening
Friday PM - evening
Week ends (Splatfest?)

Thanks. That was a long post.

Thanks @Fafounet for the heads up.

My votes are as follows:

Mondays Category 1
Puyo Puyo Tetris
Mondays Category 2
Street Fighter Collection

Thursday Category 3
Super Bomberman R

Thursday Category 4
Mario Tennis Aces

Well, the only multiplayer game I have is Mariokart, but will get Smash when that comes out.

Will probably get Doom when the price drops

My votes go to

Monday Category 1 - Puyo Puyo Tetris
Monday Category 2 - Street Fighter Collection

Thursday Category 1 - ARMS
Thursday Category 2 - Mario Tennis Aces

With some Wednesday Doom thrown in for good measure.

Like Bunkerneath, I only have a handful of online games as of now (Mario Kart, Rocket League and Splatoon 2) - but I'll hopefully add DOOM and Mario Tennis Aces before too long (and Smash when that comes) ..and I'm easy with days etc - whatever you guys decide, I'll join you as and when I can

EDIT: p.s. Thanks for sorting this out @Fafounet - great work!

..and, like Lroy on the next page, I'm 100% down for Splatoon on weekends (for Splatfests etc) - but equally down for some weekday sessions (+Splatfest's) if people would prefer

@Fafounet Huge thanks for putting this all together for us.

Category 1: SPLATOON 2 (2nd vote if needed? SUPER BOMBERMAN R)

Category 2: MARIO TENNIS ACES

Category 3: ARMS (2nd vote if needed? PUYO PUYO TETRIS)

Category 4: STREET FIGHTER ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION

Can play SPLATOON 2 (Salmon Run or Turf Wars) Weekend evenings too 👍

@Fafounet I'll join whatever I can whenever I can. Haven't played Splatoon 2 in a while so that would probably get my vote in category 1.
Getting my hopes up for Mario tennis so that gets my vote in category 2. And the only other game I remember having at the monent is Arms, so that'll get the last vote...

@NaviAndMii I'll try to join tomorrow! Who knows, I might even be able to play a game in the tourney (if there will be one)!?
