When the Switch first launched back in 2017, Nintendo used the phrase "play anytime, anywhere, with anyone" almost everywhere you looked. It was, of course, trying to promote the idea that the console could be played in different modes, as well as from either the comfort of your own home or on your adventures out in the big wide world.
Now, most of us have likely played our Switches in a number of ways - therefore proving Nintendo's statement to be pretty spot on - but we doubt many of you have played it quite like this. Here's professional wrestler Leroy Green enjoying a bit of game time in the middle of a match; we don't know all that much about the sport here at Nintendo Life, but we're finally seeing something we can relate to.
As it happens, playing the Switch appears to be Leroy's 'thing', avoiding hits and pulling off dropkicks while still engrossed in his game. You'll often find him talking about "playing games and taking names" on social media.
Between us, we think the most extravagant bit of Switch time we've had is enjoying a friendly round of Snipperclips in a doctors surgery waiting room. Maybe we need to up our game?
Thanks to Riff-the-Don for the tip!

Who said wrestling was fake? This is a 100% legit fight. I bet he's speedrunning to raise money for cancer at the same time.
I've done the whole millennial commercial thing of meeting someone out and about and playing Mario Kart with them in a coffee shop for like 2 hours.
Also had a business trip to the prefecture capital and arrived early, so I just sat in the conference hall playing Switch. Another worker walked up and I passed him a joycon. By the time the organizers showed up there was a crowd of like 5 people around us. It was kinda hilarious when the boss just walked up and asked "Really?"
What I want to know is, what game he is playing???
I think he is playing Panty Party.
When ever I see a switch in the wild, I always stop to talk to the person. But I am not sure if I was fighting, I would be breaking out my switch.
Now this is the kind of priorities I can get behind.
@Bunkerneath perhaps Warframe or Paladins or something else with online matches/missions that using sleep mode (and its insistence to suspend Wi-Fi for anything but downloads) tends to get you kicked out of?😅
That won't help the joycon drift....
Glad I stopped watching wrestling around 2002. The guys doing it now are scrawny dorks.
I bet Cornette just adores this guy
I'm dying to know what he's playing. XD
I'm curious about that surgery waiting room story too. I hope it wasn't anything too critical!
That's why I love wrestling
@MrGawain Except he probably doesn't have drift, and it's not really relevant to write about that here either.
The dude is wrestling while protecting his Switch AND playing it. That's the story.
I've got to admit that looked pretty cool
Better be careful not to break the Switch it during a match. Or don't too distracted otherwise you'd be K.O..
Now that’s my kinda gimmick
@tr573 Lol man i love when Jim rants about todays wrestlers.
@Blizzia it’s clearly a joke. Don’t get your mario knickers in a twist.
@Mr_Pepperami Ain't got none of those my friend.
If a joke ain't funny, it's a failure of a joke.
@Blizzia well I’d recommend them. They are very comfortable and air all the right bits.👍🏻
@Mr_Pepperami I'll take a look
“Bah gawd, that’s Game’s music! What’s HE doing here?!?”
@Blizzia
You are aware of the concept of a joke, aren't you?
Reminds me of when Don Muraco beat up a no-name guy while eating a hero sandwich. I like the Muraco act more since it was less a silly comedy gimmick and done to show his disdain for people not on his level.
@Heavyarms55 Bosses man, they're just too serious.
@Bunkerneath Probably not WWE2k19.
That’s kinda cooler than I expected it would be
@Jayofmaya Lol sometimes. But to be fair part of what we were going to be talking about that day was how to deal with students using electronics in class. XD
@Heavyarms55 Been in similar situations, having a Mario Kart tournament with a few mates in a long bus drive after a night in the city. A few guys at work own Switches and some Friday afternoons we scrap around in Smash or Mario Kart. The Switch is the great uniter. I reckon the world would be a better place if every political conflict legally required opposing sides to duke it out in Mario Kart for a few hours before anything happens.
@tr573 LMAO
@MrGawain Gee, I don't know, maybe? I'm pretty sure I've heard of the word before at least. But the concept? I'm not entirely sure. Perhaps?
I certainly have had positive experiences figuring out the concepts of other things over the years.
Once, I was struggling to figure out how lightning works, but then it struck me.
I also once saw a documentary on how ships are kept together. It was riveting!
I've also had interactions with other concepts. Today, my son asked "Can I have a book mark?" and I burst into tears. 10 years old and he still doesn't know my name is John. Needless to say, he made me feel like a mere page.
Finally, I'll leave you with a fun fact: Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Now spot the joke.
@Heavyarms55 Ahaha wow, nice troll move. high 5
@Jayofmaya Hmm? How was I trolling? Maybe I should just take the compliment but honestly I don't understand. XD
@Heavyarms55 You used electronics whilst at a work conference about others using electronics when they're in an environment where they're supposed to be working. The irony is fantastic
