@BowserBasher You thought a Super Horn would protect you?

That Sherbet Land race was so close! I've gotten so many moments recorded with the video capture feature!

Yeah, redo the GP. Sorry @punio75 EDIT: Well there you go! You still won a race. Funny how things work out! DOUBLE EDIT: And then I come last, that's what I get for being nice...

So how are we gonna do this? Start from scratch? Or carry on. Because I didn't get the results on the second race... EDIT: BTW, @BowserBasher...

Still waiting for @S.C.G and @RedShell

See, these comments are all very similar to when BOTW came out. I'm not gonna get too hyped until I actually play it tomorrow.

No problem! All you have to do is add BowserBasher's Switch to your friends list, you know, if you haven't already. 8313-9234-5620 He shows up as Simon in the friend list. The room opens at around 7:45pm with races starting at around 8. Make sure you use the correct vehicle and character setup. (Most are available from the get-go, so no excuses) Any questions, just ask me.

Luigi already uses the Poltergust as his final Smash, that'd be a weird inclusion. Also, who said Kid Icarus can't get another character? In fact, they even have a model for one already. Little Mac and Charizard already did the Assist Trophy to playable upgrade. I love Smash Bros. speculation!

1.3.0... Weird... The Switch restarted and everything. Guess it's nothing. Sorry about that. See ya at 8.

Well, I was definitely in last week, and I got another update pop-up when I booted up Mario Kart about an hour ago.

So I decided to play the latest game in the Fire Emblem franchise. Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia is... huh? It's no longer the latest game in the Franchise? Bugger... Still! It's a Strategy RPG that came out recently for the 3DS, a remake of the second ever Fire Emblem game, Fire Emblem Gaiden, which never released outside of Japan. The game follows Alm, a bloke who isn't important enough to feature in a Dynasty Warriors spinoff. He lives in a humble little farming village with a group of friends, one being secondary character Celica, who apparently is important enough to feature in a Dynasty Warriors spinoff. Probably because she has boobs, you know what Koei Tecmo is like. They're attacked by soldiers from the neighbouring country, Rigea. Leading to Celica having to be taken away from Alm for her own safety. Years pass, and the Fire Emblem equivalent of Hawlucha (It should have been in Pokken...) finds himself thrust into repelling Rigel forces. Can Alm stop Rigel from taking over? Will he find Celica before she swans over to Fire Emblem Warriors? And will the final boss be yet another bloody dragon? The plot in this game mostly goes the same way as the original Fire Emblem Gaiden, but there are a handful of plot changes and some new characters so that even people who can read Japanese have something new to see here. I enjoyed what was there, even if some of the twists were a bit obvious. What has to be credited is the voice work. Unlike the other 3DS games, everything is fully voiced. No incredibly annoying grunts and half sentences that Awakening infuriated me with. And it's really good. High quality voices here. Especially this guy. Berkut plays a key villain and single-handedly justifies playing this game. His voice actor did an absolutely stonking job in nailing his character. Quickly became my favourite character. The Gameplay plays like most Fire Emblems, you manipulate your army around a grid-based area and complete objectives while trying to not get them killed. Unless you're playing Casual, which I did, because it's the only way I enjoy Fire Emblem. And nothing is ever going to change my mind. The major thing with Echoes is that dungeons show up in it. Yeah, fully explorable dungeons in a Fire Emblem game. Running into an enemy while exploring gets you into a mini Fire Emblem style battle It's very strange, there's no denying that, but I quite enjoyed them. Adds a bit of variety to the whole experience. They're certainly not on the level of Zelda dungeons not BOTW, they're pretty fun. Although I'd imagine that playing with Perma-death would make these terrifying to go through. Another new feature is Mila's Turnwheel, which allows you to basically pull a mulligan and let you redo previous turns. Because I'm sure any Fire Emblem fan has had that moment when they've been hit by a 1% Critical hit. You don't get infinite uses of this, so it's not completely broken. Graphics look fine, much nicer than Awakening. But nothing along the lines of Monster Hunter Stories and stuff like that. The music is much better though, there's some great tracks here. My personal favourite is Berkut's theme. (That guy gets all the best stuff here) The track that plays in the final chapter is pretty spectacular as well. Fire Emblem Echoes is probably my favourite game in the Fire Emblem series, something about it just appeals to me in all the right ways. I recommend it to those who are curious about the series.

Update Warning! There's another update. It's nothing big, but you wanna give yourself about 5 minutes to update Mario Kart, just in case. EDIT: It's nothing. @Dcubed's Switch just wanted that update so bad, it downloaded it twice.

They sign you up. It's Invite only at the moment, as far as I can tell.

Same thing, right? @Dcubed killed a dude for one. Totally worth it.

Next League Night: Tonight 8pm Room 1: @BowserBasher is host @Glen-i @BowserBasher @martinist @punio75 @viceview51 @Dcubed @S.C.G @RedShell Still to declare @nekunando @Vileplume2000 @Nicktendo @Sméagol Here are the vehicles that classify as Quads.

Nope, I remember them actually making a big deal out of the fact that none of it is censored.

The score N-E gave would probably get us banned all over again.

I just googled "Good night King Kong" because I clearly have way too much free time. I got this. It doesn't help clarify anything

Yep, turn-based RPG's are better to play on a portable device. I mean, why do you think Pokemon does so well? After playing TMS, this can only be a good thing. The game's hilarious.

It's amazing how professional it feels. If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't be able to guess it was an indie effort. The visuals definitely help. Even if they're so good that I never actually switched to Retro visuals for more than 5 seconds at a time. It might have retroactively ruined about 90% of remakes for me. They just can't compete.

DKC beats DKC2? And I thought it'd just be Pokemon that you guys had awful taste in

You must have seen this one coming a mile off.

Don't be stupid, think about what game they made the GC adapter for in the first place... I'm ready to campaign Dillon for that game and be disappointed all over again!

That's already getting a third game on 3DS, even if I'm the only one who cares. But it's going Steampunk! Also wins best Ninty Subtitle this year.

With the amount of times the two of us big up this amazing game, we should just call ourselves the Wonder Twins.
