@holygeez03 the Dirty Trick plays are all limited to 1 use per half. Every team has 4 Dirty Trick plays. Not every team has access to the same ones. If you don't like the Dirty Trick plays, they can be disabled completely in the settings.
Luigi's Mansion on 3DS, and some Super Mario Party on Switch with the kids. Picked up the Mario vs Rabbids DLC this week too, still picking away at that.
Just playing through my first round.... Is there a speaker in the joycons I missed when I was swapping out the shells, or is it using the HD rumble to play the sound to indicate its your turn? If its the rumble, that's really well done...
So, does it go by account, or console? We only have 1 Swich, but my kids each have their own account. If I get a single membership, is that good for anyone in the console to play online, or would I need the family?
Gamers have proven time and time again we aren't mature enough to handle review scores. "Hurph durph, how dare you give this game that I haven't played a 9?! It clearly deserves a 10! I hope you die in a fire and rot in hell next to your whore of a mother!". <- every comment section of every review for every AAA game release ever. We're horrible excuses for human beings, when you get right to down it. Get rid of the scores, make people actually read the review instead of acting like children over a number.
Video Kid. Over and over. All weekend. It's such a simple little game, and the whole thing should only take about 2 minutes to beat... But I can't get past 92%. Just one more run. One more run... for HOURS.
I'll get both CastleStorm and Walking Dead eventually, but those are both wait for sale games for me. Another week of clearing of clearing out the backlog.
I really enjoyed this one on PS4, played it through a few times to 100% the trophies. If Switch had an achievement system, I'd pick it up again. Highly recommend if you haven't played it!
I wish I could manage to still care about this game, because the Switch version is the version I would have killed for back when I was sinking hundreds of hours into Minecraft on PC. I bought the PS4 and Vita versions for the crossplay, only to find out it only really worked one way (Vita saves can transfer to PS4, but can't go back to Vita...). I bought the Switch version thinking the at home / on the go aspect I had wanted for so long would lure me back in, but I just can't get into it. That ship has sailed.
My son is super stoked for this aquatic update, though...
@MisterKorman I wouldn't necessarily call it negligence, I'd call it flat out abuse. In order for that vent area to be wide open like that picture, theres 4 grill bars need to removed. So each one had to crack at both ends. 8 individual cracks, 1 at the the end of each and every bar. That did not happen as result of heat while sitting in a dock. This was not a spontaneous occurence. (And in fairness, after checking his replies on that tweet just now, he doesn't claim it be a case of "Mah Switch broke itself!" like some of the others. He suspects younger brothers were involved. Having a younger brother myself, I'm prepared to call that one case closed)
@Damo I would believe that that spot may be a weak point that will be the first to give when abused, but not that those all just cracked spontaneously.
and the guy with the grill completely gone, if he tried to say he took any care of that console whatsoever, i'd flat out call him a liar to his face. That is the result of not caring enough to look after your toys.
finding idiots on the internet capable of breaking something is not indicative of a problem with the product. The internet loves to break stuff and blame it on others... que the choruses of "but mahn broke itself! hurph durph"
edited for naughty language. My bad, forgot where I was there for a second.
Backed. I've got Namco Museum and a few of the Arcade Archives games that support a vertical display. Most looking forward to playing Mudd Blocks with it, though.
I think continuing to support 2 non-compatible systems would be a mistake. I'd rather see them retire the 3DS and expand the Switch lineup. Release a Switch Mini to cater to the entry level market, Christmas presents for children and such, and maybe add Switch Pro, with more storage and beefier specs when docked. I think the Mini would be the more important of the 2 to get to market, though.
That said, if Nintendo announces the HDS, or GameBoy HD, or anything of the sort, I'm gonna pre-order it, because I'm weak, and I have access to credit cards....
I was in the Navy when the PSP version came out. This was my go to bed time game. Sooooo many hours laying in my rack at sea playing this. In a dark space, with the brightness cranked and headphones on... It's like being on a drug.
I was really hoping E3 would have details on a big UI update with themes and folders, and that Netflix might launch alongside that. Hopefully it's coming.
Definitely getting Yooka-Laylee. and Night Trap as a big middle finger to Howard Lincoln, just because I'm old enough to remember those hearings, and I'm completely irrational like that.
Kinda half interested in Shaq-Fu, but i'll wait on reviews for that. Other than that, nothing for me this week, unless something on my wish list is on sale.
Couldn't get into Fortnite on PS4, but I didn't really give it much of a chance either. Definitely not chomping at the but for it on Switch (especially since it's on my PS4 and probably never touched for more than 30 minutes), but I'll give it another go.... I suppose.
Could not care less about Pokemon games myself, but if they move systems and help make for a more attractive install base to lure in 3rd party support, I'm all for 'em. Pokemon, especially the mainline title next year, is good for all Switch owners, whether you want to play them yourself or not.

Re: Review: Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition - Throwing Out The Rulebook Results In A Frustrating Game Of Gridiron
I've been loving this game. Review feels like the reviewer went in with the wrong expectations.

Blossom Tales is easily the 2nd best Zelda game on the Switch. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Re: Nintendo Switch Online Cloud Services Explained By Diablo III Associate Producer
@sanderev hate to break it to ya, but there are already games with achievements, 1st and 3rd party, on the Switch, 3DS, and Wii U before that.
Diablo 3 having in game achievements is in no way an indication of a future system wide achievement system.

Anyone else remember World Driver Championship on the N64? Loved that game. Would love to see something in that vein on the Switch...
Re: The Critically Acclaimed Gone Home Is Headed To Nintendo Switch Next Week

Re: Review: CastleStorm (Switch eShop)
I won't buy it again until it goes on sale, but I really enjoyed this game on PS and Vita. Definitely recommend it if you haven't played it before.
Re: DOOM Eternal Will Raise Hell On Nintendo Switch
@Lumine well, worst case, even there isn't the option, just don't connect to the internet.
Re: Treasurenauts For 3DS eShop Cancelled, Switch Development Remains On-Track
Not surprised. I think I just kind of assumed it had just been passed on to the Switch anyway...

Re: Random: Nintendo Switch Is Getting Its Own VR-Style Headset, But There's A Catch
I mean, it's not VR... At all. It's a headset display. These exist, and can be had for much better prices on eBay. Most support any HDMI input.
