Here I am thinking "ah thank you Nintendo for putting those guidance cubes so I know the pattern of these platforms" only to find out it's a debug cube I'm never meant to see lol.
It's funny how in perspective yes it's silly this got through QA but it doesn't detract from the overall experience (for some lol...).
@JaxonH Absolutely agree! The Surge joycon grips are legitly the only ones anyone should buy. I've played Mario Kart by myself with them just because they feel that good in your hands.
For 4 of them I payed something like $24 (CAD). Worthy investment if you plan to play with other people and don't want them griping how bad the grips that came with the Switch are.
@Nintendoforlife It's amazing how the pickup and play aspect changes the way you game though. Being able to play Tetris for 5 minutes on the couch casually or binge Zelda for a few hours om bed is amazing!
@BionicDodo Thank you! I was reading it over thinking the exact same stuff but everyone was jumping on the "defend the indies pushing shovelware" bandwagon so wasn't sure if I misread it.
@Ricube I didn't even know until I read this article that Stardock made games. I'd say we're not missing much...
As for 3rd party games, honestly if Nintendo cranks out first party games, does it really matter? We're talking: Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong/Kirby/Pokemon/Metroid/Star Fox/F-Zero/Pikmin/Splatoon/Super Smash Bros/Fire Emblem (I'm sure I missed a few).
Yah we won't get the latest COD or Batman game (maybe?) but I think we'll do fine.
@AirElephant Assuming it's like the Mario chess set USAopoly put out, then yah very vinyl affair all around. Quality is still quite good (a touch below Amiibo quality).
I too though would prefer if they were metal of some sort.
@Luna_110 Really? It's the best strategy game ever invented! How can they not enjoy that?
I think a lot of people don't like how long it takes to play sometimes. I setup a set in the kitchen and we just play when we talk by. Keeps it casual.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #59 - Sonic The Hedgehog 2
NA looks cleaner overall. EU is nice but Tails foot overlapping the Sonic title just makes it look sloppy.
Re: Google Play Votes Mario Kart Tour As One Of The 'Best Casual Games' For 2019
They must have dug 6 feet down to set the bar so low that Mario Kart Tour got on this list...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 8th)
Smash! And a bit of Mario Kart if frustration sets in lol.
Re: Sonic Mania Release Date and Pricing Confirmed With Awesome Trailer
I'm sold! Can't wait for it to release!

Re: Dark Witch Music Episode: Rudymical Is Dancing To The Switch eShop This Week
Not sure I'm sold on this kind of music. Gonna wait for a few more gameplay vids and a few reviews.
Re: This Switch eShop Trailer for Thumper Should Get You Warmed Up
@ThanosReXXX Thank you for posting! That definitely gave me a feel for it!
Re: Weirdness: The Sad Tale of the Deflating Pikachu That Couldn't Dance
@HappyMaskedGuy If so then Nintendo has found a new market!
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild - The Master Trials DLC?
Looks alright the DLC. I'm not one to purchase DLC normally but botw is pretty damn exceptional and the more the better.

Re: Stardock CEO Says Nintendo Switch Doesn't Need Third Party Support To Succeed
@diwdiws lol definitely have a PC background but never dipped into the realm of 4x games so that's why no clue about them.
Re: Gawk at 'Classic Sonic' Dashing Through Green Hill Zone in Sonic Forces
Looks alright I guess. It's a bit odd it's coming out around the same time as Sonic Mania since it looks like it's trying to appeal to the same crowd.
Re: Review: Puyo Puyo Tetris (Switch)
It wasn't on my radar until I tried the demo and now I'm hooked!
Little confused why it's $55 on Switch and only $40 on PS4 though...
