Glen-i

Time matches tonight from 7:30pm.

Feel like you're underselling the NSO version. Because you can play it online, which is a huge deal! The randomness feels cheap when playing with computers, but with 3 other people, it adds to the funny. That said, 2 and 3 are far better due to the items, which add a much needed element of strategy. Also Bumper Balls sucks. If 2 people are even remotely competent, the game will end in a draw every time! Don't believe me? Ask S.C.G, BowserBasher, or Dcubed. Awful minigame!

If you bite, you have to join us for some Four Swords some time. Seriously, it's mad fun! Anyway, congrats to @S.C.G for gazumping me at the end there. He's learning how to be a jerk and I'm very proud of him. Anyway, now that we've played a couple of games, I'll give you a tip that might help you live a little longer. If you get the Master Sword in A Link to the Past, you can shoot Sword Beams at full health in Four Swords. It's relatively easy to get that, and you better believe I'll be doing so for next week.

15 minutes heads up for @BowserBasher and @S.C.G.

Not a usual post from me. I just need to vent. Seriously, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, you need to chill! It's only Hard difficulty and you're throwing literally hacked units at me!? The embed is bugging out. Clicking on that should get you to the clip. EDIT: And now it's fixed itself. Complaining on the internet always works!

Thanks to @Dcubed for this logo, and @RedShell for the original design! It's the N-Europe Mario Kart League Get Together! With the upcoming Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Pass dropping in less then a week, I'm sure those of us getting it would love an excuse to put it to use, and what better excuse then to play online with other N-Europe members? The idea is that once a week, we'll get together to have some good old fashioned races, and some battles now and again. Unlike the previous League, scores will not be kept track of, so you're free to take part without worrying about your performance. For obvious reasons, you will need a Nintendo Switch Online account to take part. However, you do not need the expansion pack. You also do not need the MK8DX Booster Pass to take part, as only one person in the room needs it (I have it). As of today, it's not certain whether people without the pass can vote for any of the new tracks it has. I will update the thread once we get that information. You also need to add me and BowserBasher as a friend on your Switch, if you haven't already. Friend Codes are as follows: Glen-i - 3034-9087-7910 Simon (BowserBasher) - 8313-9234-5620 A few general rules to keep in mind: Unless stated otherwise, each session will take place on Thursday at 8pm, GMT. Each session will consist of 12 seperate races/battles. This normally takes around 45-60 minutes, so take that into account. Players Choice Nights will allow everyone to vote for whatever track they want to race on. The format will be 150cc, Normal Items. For the sake of variety, avoid voting for a track that the group has already raced on that night. No-one wants to do Baby Park 12 times. Every 3-4 weeks, I will impose a "Theme Night", where everyone must stick to the tracks that have been pre-selected. The cc format and item pool may be changed as well. I will post a graphic showing this information before hand. Discord group for voice chatting purposes.

OK, Dazzybee and I are in for another Four Swords session tonight. @BowserBasher, @S.C.G, or anyone else. Is 8:30pm tonight good for you?

Honestly, coming 3rd in that race was a bloody miracle! Cheers for biting that bullet for me, @Josh64!

Hold up! So the original difficulty is the hardest one here? And this has an easier option, and an even easier option? OK, now I'm interested. I bounced off the original because of how brutal and obtuse it is, but having two easier options might just be what I need to enjoy it.

Yeah, takes some getting used to, what with you losing all momentum when you jump. Those 300 rupees I got there made all the difference. By the way, heads up, but if you go to the options on the file select screen, you can speed up the text speed for cutscenes (And also, select "Dark" for brightness settings). Holding B makes it go even faster. Not gonna lie, I was legit proud of myself on the ice boss, when I had an epithany, and utilised the share screen function to show everyone where to aim. That feature is mad useful! Right, got a few moments here. There's a lesson to be learnt from that clip above, no idea what, but I'm sure there is. Such a perfect moment of pure greed being someone's downfall. That's Four Swords!

Coolio! Just a heads up, we're giving ourselves appropriate names. So I'm Glink, and we have Dink and Sink playing as well.

@Ike we currently have 3 people for Four Swords after Mario Kart. We need a fourth, you up for it?

Your connection will only ever be as good as the guy with the weakest connection. Doesn't matter how good your connection is if someone is playing handheld at a McDonald's.

Well, I don't know what to say other than it worked fine for me. Were you playing with random people? That would explain a lot.

Player's Choice tonight at 8.

Pretty much nonexistent. It's one of the very few Pokémon games I've not played, thanks to it not releasing in Europe. Ambrella quickly became synonymous with crummy Pokémon spin-offs, so older me never wanted it. It's an interesting premise, but 90's tech just couldn't handle it. @Dcubed is spot on that it would've done better on the DS. BTW, I'm gonna assume that you didn't actually get the ending. Because that requires playing for 365 in-game days, and I'm sure you've got other games to play.

Mario Party Superstars ran like a dream though!

I only have a Switch, and HD-2D games always look just fine on that. So I don't really have a choice. Not that I'd want an RPG on anything but a portable, anyway.

You got Octopath Traveller in my Dragon Quest! Revealed during the Dragon Quest stream a few hours ago. Uses the same engine as Octopath Traveller. No release date yet, although it will be a simultaneous worldwide release. No word on what platforms it'll release on either. (Just a mention of "Home consoles", whatever that means...) Well excited for this! III is one of the DQ games I've not played yet and I won't have to do so with an ugly mobile port!

I'd love to see if anyone here agrees with you. Because I certainly don't. Not with that Final Boss BS.

Oh, it is? I'm out then. Denpa Men is bloody hard, which is great, but not when they hover microtransactions over you.

Man, the animation is mesmerising! Definitely got the M&L style down!

They just finished up Princess Peach: Showtime, I can't imagine it's them. Probably whatever members of Alphadream Ninty hired after it shut down.

You gave me a hype attack for a moment there! It's Four Swords. Adventures is a completely different game. Still, Perfect Dark, and Four Swords? Oh hell, yes! Time to finish what Mario Party started, and destroy my friendship with @S.C.G and @BowserBasher!

Bold of you to put that much faith in Cacpcom. Ace Attorney Investigations 2, now with typos!
