I knew something would have to go wrong with this, it was inevitable. Surely they will patch it though.

Thanks Grazza. And congrats on becoming N-E staff!

Not unlocked her yet, but I seem to remember hearing that she has a double jump.

So many eShop games on my watch list it's not even funny, but I finally made a start on picking them up the other day with Thumper, seeing as it's currently on sale. Absolutely mental game. Was always tempted to get it on PS4 back when it first came out, but never got around to it. Still quite surprised it was ported to the Switch actually, but it looks like they did an amazing job. Highly recommended for anyone that enjoys rhythm/twitch gameplay, it's pretty bloody stressful though! Definitely not a game you can relax to.

The only dead cert for me at the moment is Super Mario Odyssey. Although there are quite a few (actually loads) of Switch eShop games on my to-buy list, oh and I'll be checking out the Zelda DLC too.

No match for her earlier stuff: https://youtu.be/NQzZjxNBwQA

Loving the new update on this. Remix 10 is just so hyper, it's like Mario Run on steroids! And the cheese on that music is something else, sounds like it was made for DDR Mario Mix. They were definitely smart to include an option for custom soundtracks in this version. But yeah, the extra speed of Remix 10 combined with very short stages makes it a lot of fun to play, it's got a nice WarioWare vibe to it (love how Mario and Co. now spin down the flagpoles too ). Looks like it's gonna take quite a while to unlock Daisy though. Hopefully they add even more characters in the future, Wario, Waluigi & Birdo would be rad. And then there's Star World, which requires you to complete challenges to first unlock the levels (only done one so far) and another set of pink, purple and black coins to collect in each! So quite a bit of new stuff to check out here, just a shame that the game still eats battery like no tomorrow.

Thanks guys. Those were some fun games last night (well, not so much the first GP ) but the other two (especially Frantic Items) were a nice reminder of how crazy N-E MK can be. You just don't get quite the same level of chaos when playing with randoms.

Thanks man. Damn it, where's the hug emoticon? Oh, there it is! This new forum is seriously confusing me.

Cool. Pretty sure we're already registered as friends on the Switch, my username is Manolito on there though.

Hey there N-E, long time no see! Although something seems a bit different. Anyway, yeah I'm still alive. Didn't have a great start to the year though, so ended up losing interest in posting here and even gaming for a while. Still picked up a Switch at launch (as a few of you might be aware) and have gradually been getting back to my old self... It's nice to see that the MK League is still going on. If there's room for one more in tonight's session (and provided I get home in time) I'd very much like to be IN! again.

As hyped as I am for this, think I'm gonna wait a while before picking it up. It was annoying how quickly Yakuza 5 dropped in price/became "free", and I get the feeling Yakuza Zero will probably follow a similar pattern. Just watch the complete opposite happen now.

Hehehe! Has the online SMK thing actually been confirmed then? Will be very cool if it does happen. Reminds me of that time I played SNES F-Zero in multiplayer... *cough* ...which was amazing. Obviously that was extra special due to the game not being multiplayer in the first place, but yeah, I think playing SMK and other retro games online via the Switch will feel pretty surreal too.

Got another [?] block today via the shop. Not sure why they added Toad Rally tickets as a My Nintendo reward, when there are so many ways to get them already. In other SMR news... Pre-registration for the Android version is now available: [tweet]814380465155178496[/tweet] Anyone know if it will be possible to add people to the friends list regardless of which version they use?

Pretty sure it was a complete fluke, as I also spent some time trying to improve it but couldn't get anywhere near to that score again. If I remember correctly it was just a load of back flips combined with a grab, but I somehow managed to get much more airtime than usual.

Ah ok. Mine is still RedShell-NE if you want to add me. You all ready for Future Tone now!

New account on PS4? Because you're showing up as "online over a month ago" on my list. Anyway, glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Yeah, this game is pretty awesome once you get into it. I thought I'd purchased a £25 coaster at one point though, as it would crash literally every few minutes after the latest patch. But thankfully, deleting and reinstalling the game fixed that problem. Had a go at your tactical race, @tapedeck (more like 30 ) but couldn't beat your time. Was going to try again but couldn't get it to load up the next time I played. I've only shared a jump/trick challenge so far (mainly because it was so silly) but will do a checkpoint or tactical race soon. Just need to find the right spot.

Well, not sure what it was just now (probably luck ) but I finally managed to beat that stage! Super exhilarating stuff. Looking forward to seeing everyone else's impressions on that final level.

All black coins GET! Unlocked the final extra stage... Oh. My. God. Yep, that's like the Super Mario Run equivalent of Champion's Road right there. In fact, it might be worse. Probably approaching 50 attempts now, still not been able to clear it. *tries again*

There are a couple of easier (albeit time consuming) quests which reward Death Metals too, like defeating a certain number of enemies with goretastic or a back drop.Don't know if they can be done multiple times or not though, as I only unlocked them recently.

This moment in the vid above almost killed me: You still playing @ThePigMarcher? I'm currently up to the 16th floor (or was it 17th? Can't remember now ). But yeah, still really enjoying this a lot, in fact it's becoming one of my favorite games of the year! Just cannot believe how much depth there is to it for a F2P game! Don't see myself ever needing to purchase Death Metals either, although I feel a bit guilty now for having already gotten 20+ hours of entertainment out of the game for nowt. Will wait and see how much the 30 day express pass ends up going for once it's finally available in the PS store, and probably get that instead. Anyway, I unlocked the 3 star fighters the other day, so currently training up a 3 star Striker before attempting whichever floor it was I got up to last time. Things can go wrong very quickly now though, with high level Haters all over the place that can practically one hit kill you!

I still haven't got around to getting builders on PS4, so if it did end up coming to Switch I'd probably wait a bit more and just get it for that instead. Definitely seems like a game that would be nice to play on the go, and like you say, a great fit for the platform.

Had yet another hilarious moment on this when going for the black coins on W4-1. Only needed to grab the last black coin, which is situated in a very awkward position close to the door that leads out to the flagpole. Anyway, I messed up and before I knew it Mario was heading towards the door (once you go through there's no way back, even with the bubble) at which point it was as if time was in slow motion with me literally shouting out Nooooooooooooooooo! Such a shame the majority of people that play this game will probably miss out on experiencing those kind of moments, due to just playing through once and being done with it. I mean the standard game is still fun, but it's nothing compared to how enjoyable and ultimately rewarding it becomes when going for all the coloured coins.
