Mario Kart, all the way. My dad is very into it now, so just sitting with him as he learns is a great joy. He's obsessed with that one DLC track that has the roadway and regular looking cars so we've played that almost every race.
Rune Factory 5 for me time. Between that and studying for the series 9, I'll be booting up Mario kart 8 deluxe with my dad. We bought another cartridge for the lite, so now he sits in his chair, having the entire giant TV screen to himself, and I get to look at the mini screen.
@Mountain_Man exactly. At any work place I'm at, women get the same pay as the man in their position. It's never about "wow a woman gets less". I'm a female and if someone at work is making more it's because they're a) more qualified, b) been there longer, or c) they got promoted based on something they did better. Simple as that.
Companies trying to point out the fact that they're trying to be inclusive when it's a given that it should happen or it does happen, is just virtue signaling.
Still on my BOTW replay, I'm doing Tarry Town right now. Also making my way through OoT HD and Majora's Mask 3ds If Nintendo doesn't want to put them on switch to celebrate the anniversary year, I'll just play them on the 3ds
I'm still replaying Oot on my 3ds, I'm in the water temple so yaaay.
I'm also playing some BOTW on a new account, as I recently picked up a Switch lite so my dad can play on the big switch (he lives a bit away from me and his eyes make the smaller screen a no go). He loves the Namco museaum game with PacMan, but I'm trying to find other games for him.
Other than that, excitedly watching E3 predictions and chilling!
@brunojenso Yeah I can't really play on my regular switch in handheld mode as it's really just inconvenient to take around now. The lite is perfect to take on the go. Hopefully the pro is lighter and thinner, but better graphics
@WoomyNNYes I got like 11 right outside the Temple of Time where the skeleton bokoblin (can't remember the name atm) has a bow and terrible aim XD. I died 3 times trying to get more off the plateau.
So I'm terrible at games, but it doesn't make me not enjoy them! It doesn't matter to me if I need a friend to help me or if they destroy me at games. Same with needing a guide. Like with Zelda games, I accept that I'll either need several runs with bosses,along with a long time in a dungeon, or I'll need a little help from Google. To me, the memories of the hilarious L's I've taken are at least half the fun with games.
The Big Game! I just see a profile for it, no review. The machanics are awesome and the dialogue is adorable. I love the sound track as well. The game takes maybe a couple of hours?
Just started a new playthrough of "A Link Between Worlds" so mostly that along with continuing my "Age of Calamity" run through. However, I'll also be sprinkling in some "Dota Underlords" on my computer lol.
Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity! Picked it up yesterday as a birthday gift to myself (thank you adulthood) and so far it's fantastic! I didn't get to play the previous version of the game, but am excited to grind through this one while I wait for skyward sword on switch and BOTW2.
@Mazor775 Yep I still have the same one from launch month. It's still working well- I had the casing repaired last year- but I don't see a point for another switch. Maybe when the pro comes out but even then.
Super Mario Party. My bf lives far away at the moment so he got the game as a bday present for me so we can play online. I'm expecting a fierce battle.
Great! I'm super excited, as I enjoyed Rune factory 2,3 and 4 (special edition is great to). The first one was okay but I tried playing it after 2 and 3 so the older controls and such just didn't vibe with me.
Basically look for the sku I'm getting. Then verify online. Kay got it. This is why I generally just stick to a local store with a good rep the few times I want a GBA or DS game and I still pull up their sku online if possible.
@RasandeRose A lot of first party games have huge download files so maybe that? I have a 128 gb card and it's still not even close to halfway full, but I don't game constantly.
@Preposterous exactly. There are so many bugs in a new console (though I would have caved and bought one if they weren't gonna let me transfer my ps4 games to the ps5 later). Not to mention waiting a year or two will get you the 'updated' one like when the switch released the model with the better battery.
@LaytonPuzzle27 while yes the rioters when they do riot need to be stopped, and yes we have seen them steal TVs and expensive stuff, that's not what is happening here. It seems that the case here is that the delivery guys are the thieves.
Some Rune Factory 4 Special and ACNH. I'm at work getting training this weekend on a new system and writing a semester paper, so gaming will be squeezed in there.
Wow. That's just terrible. It makes really glad I decided to not try and get a ps5 for a year or two, even that decision was because I finally got a ps4.
@BTB20 A big part of the problem I think is that it's the holiday hiring rush so Amazon probably still needs the manpower so maybe he got hired without great screening. Either way, I agree about firing instantly!

Interesting. I'm going to withhold an opinion until more facts come out.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 30th)
@SpiraI haha thanks! It took a bit, the main thing was taking the computers off until he got his feet under him. Made it more approachable

Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You For Nintendo's E3 Direct?
@MarioBrickLayer I'd be a bit sad, I'll admit, but if we got some good gameplay for SS I'd be okay.
Re: Poll: How Hyped Are You For Nintendo's E3 Direct?
Just Zelda. Lots of Zelda.
Re: GameStop Seems To Be Giving Out Free Legend Of Zelda Anniversary Posters
Well hope this means we get more Zelda games announced!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 12th)
@HexagonSun I've been on the fence about the Miitopia game, as most people like it due to nostalgia I thought. Sounds really cool though ngl.

@WoomyNNYes I got like 11 right outside the Temple of Time where the skeleton bokoblin (can't remember the name atm) has a bow and terrible aim XD. I died 3 times trying to get more off the plateau.
Still better than paying for them!
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.3 Is Now Live
@WoomyNNYes I just started my 2nd or 3rd run recently! On my way to meet Impa again XD

@Cosmofantasmo I actually just got a ps4 recently so was hoping to start the series! Which one do you reccomend most for a new player on the system?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 29th)

Re: How Would A Tetris X Jenga Mashup Work? Something Like Trenga Unlimited, Probably
Think I might actually get this. Depending on the reviews for it of course. It could be a fun summer game.

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.0.2 Is Now Live
Awesome. I don't need folders or more themes, though I get why more people want them. As long as I don't get game crashes, we're cool Nintendo
Re: Rune Factory 5 Live Stream To Share New Info Ahead Of Next Week's Japanese Release
Great! I'm super excited, as I enjoyed Rune factory 2,3 and 4 (special edition is great to).
The first one was okay but I tried playing it after 2 and 3 so the older controls and such just didn't vibe with me.
Re: How Do You Feel About Mario After His 35th Anniversary? Nintendo Apparently Wants To Know
I like Mario, mainly in the party games. But my favorite will always be Toadette.
Now let's talk Zelda.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 13th)
I would say "Super Mario 3D world + Bowsers fury but it's icy here so I couldn't go pick up my copy. I'll probably just play Cities Skylines on my pc
Re: Clueless About Your Switch? Nintendo Is Offering A Free "Concierge" Service For New Owners

Taking the survey after work! It would be cool to have a follow up on the results from the author.
Re: Will You Be Clearing Up Some Space For The Switch Version Of Apex Legends?
@RasandeRose A lot of first party games have huge download files so maybe that? I have a 128 gb card and it's still not even close to halfway full, but I don't game constantly.
Re: Will You Be Clearing Up Some Space For The Switch Version Of Apex Legends?
Yeah no. I'll pass
Re: Talking Point: So, What Are The Chances We'll See A 'New' Nintendo Switch In 2021?
I'm in college sooooo ... 1.5 years before I'm able to afford a new switch. Sadly. So I'm happy with what I have.
But if it came out soon I'd totally try to buy it.

@LaytonPuzzle27 well of course they do.
Re: "Free Melee" Becomes "Save Smash" Following Nintendo's Legal Action Against Competitive Smash Bros. Event
@KingBowser86 exactly! It's a game of the past- I like it for the nostalgia but much prefer my ultimate.
Re: 30 Years After Nintendo's "Operation Midnight Shipping" And Console Launches Are Still Fraught With Danger

@LaytonPuzzle27 while yes the rioters when they do riot need to be stopped, and yes we have seen them steal TVs and expensive stuff, that's not what is happening here. It seems that the case here is that the delivery guys are the thieves.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 21st)
Some Rune Factory 4 Special and ACNH.
I'm at work getting training this weekend on a new system and writing a semester paper, so gaming will be squeezed in there.
Re: Random: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Might Include A Popular Zelda CD-i Reference
I sense grasping at straws, lol. It's either a translator trying to mess with us or a coincidence.
Re: 30 Years After Nintendo's "Operation Midnight Shipping" And Console Launches Are Still Fraught With Danger
Wow. That's just terrible. It makes really glad I decided to not try and get a ps5 for a year or two, even that decision was because I finally got a ps4.
Re: 30 Years After Nintendo's "Operation Midnight Shipping" And Console Launches Are Still Fraught With Danger
@BTB20 A big part of the problem I think is that it's the holiday hiring rush so Amazon probably still needs the manpower so maybe he got hired without great screening. Either way, I agree about firing instantly!
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Comfort Food Game?
The Rune Factory series for me. Anytime I'm super stressed I just grab my 3DS or Switch and boot one up.
