Born in ‘87, I played a lot of NES up in my sisters’ room and apparently got pretty good by the age of 3. Nintendo has always been there for me as my mom got us Super Nintendo, gameboys for my little brother, N64 for Christmas one year, and then by college I sold our first Xbox to get a Nintendo DS lite and a Wii. I used to have a Trinitron with an RGB modded NES and SNES for a few years. But ended up selling all of it because of finances and we needed more space for my own kids. My fiancée and I love Tetris on NES and used to play a lot of the two player mod together. We miss that setup… but got around to getting a dock for the analogue pocket, so we can still play NES on the TV together. Long story short, we love the NES! And our kids think it’s pretty peculiar and fun too.

this could be day one for me, also hoping for physical as well

I used to play Heretic back in the early Doom days on DOS when I was a kid. I have no idea how my parents let me play them, but no regrets as I think of these titles as comfort games for me haha

One of my favorites of all time. Everything about it is incredible, and I adore the music.

A really well designed map is underrated in my book!! Feeling organized is really important, especially with such an exploratory treasure hunting emphasis in Donkey Kong Bananza. Its sub layer maps are definitely one of the reasons I don’t feel sick, claustrophobic, or overwhelmed, because I can zoom out and say, “hey, I’m right here, I can dig my way out this way.” Being able to find all the little maps to help with finding all bananium gems and fossils is the perfect incentive for completionists! It’s really such great design, and a major factor in pushing this game from a 9/10 to a 10/10 for me.

the only reason I am not playing cyberpunk right now, other than chores, is to charge the switch pro 2 controller for the first time since launch.

I’m also having mixed feelings on the new roster? The mainline characters are great as always, and I love all of their different outfits. It’ll take some time for some of these new characters to grow on me though?? I’m not sure?? but I guess the biggest complaint I have is how the character select screen is laid out? Yes you can sort to have all of your characters with their outfits in a column, but I’d much rather have the outfits on a second separate screen after you pick your initial character? It just seems a bit cluttered and messy for me as it is now, but I’m also getting used to it.

I’m curious to see if auto accel is more the norm now or not? There’s no way I could ever hold A for that long, let alone any other button. Maybe it’s just me? My kids argue with me that by always holding A, that they go faster? I try to tell them that I’ve played Mario Kart longer than their combined ages times two, but they have a hard time taking advice from me as it is hah.

Just got my system delivered today, gotta love seeing that FedEx truck out there early at 9 AM. All my kids with me cheering, it’s here, it’s here. Had a silent ASMR no words unboxing with the family. Everyone got to magnetically slap those big beautiful joycons on. Such satisfaction. Can’t wait to finish barbecuing and some multiplayer Mario Kart with everyone!!! Have a great weekend everybody!

@marktehshark69 @marktehshark69 it doesn’t come with a brick. you’ll need a USB A charging brick.

@marktehshark69 it comes with a usb a to usb c cord, but no charging brick.

@tweaknmod although I never owned the original pro controller, I can assure you that the switch pro 2 controller is tremendously smooth and quiet with the sticks. My fiancée and her sister were impressed and our 8 year old kids were literally shocked how amazing they feel. It’s the best controller I’ve ever felt in hand.

My Walmart preorder is still in but just listed as placed still… with pending charges placed on May 31st… and arrival time on or hopefully before June 7th. Hopefully it will update with “preparing” and “on the way” a day prior… as it’s local delivery I’m assuming?

My physical just came in!

Anyone know if this captured footage is on Quality mode or Performance mode?

Very similar experience on my end overall from what I’ve read. Juggled target, Best Buy, and Walmart apps, also used a couple windows open on the MacBook. Target went live first, allowed to add to cart quickly, but then somehow forgot my preregistered payment info, and never allowed to complete the purchase once I updated it with endless error messages. It was also the first retailer I saw that said “out of stock.” Both Walmart and Best Buy had their digital wait lines… but while I waited there live chats from people on YouTube said they broke through directly on Walmart with no line at all for console + accessories. Went there immediately and have seemed to secure my preorder for base console as one order, and then MKW and switch pro 2 controller pretty easily. My estimated delivery from Walmart for MKW and controller are on June 5th. June 7th for console. We’ll see if they cancel any preorders? I hope not, but Walmart seemed to be the best experience for most people. Good luck everyone and don’t be too discouraged if it didn’t work out right away. There should be other opportunities soon I hope.

One of my favorites this year was Night Reverie. I believe it came out on other platforms in 2021? But came out on Switch in July. Beautiful pixel art and music, childlike sense of wonder, basic puzzling, but very engaging and I enjoyed the story. Surprised to see it was overlooked. Happy Holidays everyone

I was fortunate enough to experience this game at 8 years old when it first released. I didn’t even understand what an RPG was at the time or that a video game could tell a story, let alone impact me the way that it did. To say that it was profound is really an understatement for me, as it affected me and continues to resonate with me to this day during further playthroughs. It truly is timeless and one of my favorite things ever created. Never lose touch with your inner child everyone.

@DanElectrode DK mode baby, my ten year old self couldn’t be happier

I’m watching it.
I mean… look at my username.

Reminds me of Rilakkuma & Kaoru style stop motion. If anyone hasn’t checked it out, it’s also weirdly funny.

I use the 8bitdo Ultimate, not only is it the most comfortable for me, but it also has 2.4 ghz connection. At least to me it makes a huge difference along with game mode set on your TV for the least lag possible.

the main title theme is either the most annoying or the most adorable thing you will ever hear… 😜

I love picross. I’ve been playing Picross DS randomly for what seems to be years… it’s taking forever.

The best moments for me were more personal… when Mario and Luigi were initially separated in two different warp pipes… right before they told each other that as long as they were together that there wasn’t anything they couldn’t do… and once again when they are reunited… with Luigi overcoming his cowardice and using the manhole cover to block the flame attack from Bowser… joining together with the star power and defeating Bowser together… I lost my brother 5 years ago… he had a heart attack in his sleep at the age of only 28… We grew up together playing Nintendo… and seeing this bond play out on screen got me to the say the least.

I have two different viewpoints on this…

First of all, any access/medium that someone has to enjoy the original classic, please do.

For myself personally, being an 80s baby that’s grown into a spoiled man child… original all the way w/ modern upgrades.

RGB modded top loader, HD Retrovision SNES component cables, w/ an everdrive on an Olympus OEV 203 (Sony Trinitron 20M2MDU) PVM, and a pair of Kanto YU6 bookshelf speakers…

I am aware it’s overkill.
But I can’t have it any other way now.

I just received the gulikit King Kong pro 2 controller in white from Amazon. feels like Xbox controller, comfortable, highly customizable… and it wakes switch up from sleep mode. I actually prefer it over the 8bit pro 2 myself.

First time post here!

Normally I focus all my attention on one to two games… usually an adventure or RPG and always a casual indie or puzzler on the side… but right now I am about 70% through Oracle of Seasons on game boy color… It’s a really hard Zelda in my opinion, but I am also terrible/not ashamed to use a guide.

Cu-On-Pa SFC for SNES on the side for short sessions. I really love everything about Cu-On-Pa SFC.

Also running through Kirby Star Allies with 5 year old son as we demolished Kirby and The Forgotten Land on release. He is a little completionist that one!

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone .
