Had a go on the demo. Think this is massively overpriced for what it is though, essentially just 1 mode from Wii Fit. It plays well enough, although you can still trick the motion controls into registering any type of punch with even the slightest movement of the Joy-Cons. Shame. If this was half the price and didn’t feature a soundtrack made of pure cheese then I might have considered it.

Go easy on the Joy-Con analog sticks, they can be a bit flaky and tend to suffer from drifting issues after a while. I’d definitely recommend an alternative/more robust controller option for more intense games, especially Smash Bros. Another weakness to the Switch can be its Wi-Fi signal strength, so if you’re not going to be using an Ethernet adapter, then try to use the 5GHz frequency instead of 2.4GHz, it can make a huge difference in performance. Anyway, congrats on the purchase and I hope you enjoy your Switch!

That right there is why I should never try to multitask.

Was too late for me I’m afraid, I just can’t hack late-night gaming sessions anymore... #TooOldForThisShit If you’re ever going to be about between 8-10:30 pm though, then I’m pretty much always available and up for some hunting, until Smash arrives that is. I’ve actually started using Dual Blades recently, so it could be fun to team up at some point, before everyone drops Monster Hunter harder than a Uragaan drops his chin! And as a Dual Blade pro, perhaps you could give me some pointers too. BTW, @Glen-i, did you take on the EX Hellblade yet? If it’s anything like the EX DeadEye, then it’s just a giant version of the monster with a massive amount of HP. Definitely doable solo though, with patience.

I guess one positive of the inevitable all-digital future could be an end to situations like this. Everyone (bar press) will get access to the game at exactly the same time, i.e. the official release date. Last time I got really annoyed by a game breaking the street date was MK8 on Wii U, seeing soooo many people playing that early did my head in as I was so damn hyped for it. Still hyped for Smash Ultimate of course, but not fussed that some are already playing it. Just gonna avoid potential spoilers as much as possible and enjoy the game on launch day.

Yeah, that boss battle music is just insane! Love it. Here’s the old thread for typing adventure if anyone wants a trip down memory lane: I’m actually tempted to dig up my DS and have another go on this. Although it blatantly doesn’t help... I’m still awful at typing.

Wow! You jammy git.

We were really close last time, hopefully we can get it done for you today after MK. But yeah, it’d be a miracle to get a G5 special permit quest done with randoms.

I’m up for some post-Kart hunting. Not played this since upgrading my SD card the other day, but hopefully all of the downloadable quests have made the transfer safely.

I’ll go for Iggy!

There are currently some pretty decent deals on micro SD cards over at Amazon, I may have to finally upgrade to 200 GB.

Getting increasingly tempted to buy this game right now.

The only race I didn’t play was dragon driftway (got disconnected before the race started) I managed to reconnect for mount Wario. I don’t mind however you do the score.

Have setup a hub, usual password.

Got disconnected just before the dragon driftway race.

Sure thing, I be happy to help out with anything. And it’s always fun hunting alongside Dino Chav.

I finally got my hands on one of those 8bitdo thingys, so can now use various other controllers on my Switch. Have been testing it with a Wii U Pro Controller so far, and it works very well indeed. Takes a bit of getting used to the face buttons being underneath the right stick again, but it’s just nice to have the option of playing with non-messed up analog sticks, since the ones on my Joy-Cons have been dodgy for ages now.

I am loving the Aliens table. Hardly played the other 2 that come with that pack, as Aliens is just so much fun.

Hehehe, congrats! How about going for one of the Special permit monsters? It’s a great challenge to reach and then clear an EX quest, plus you can nab some cool gear in the process. I’m thinking about targeting another one, now that I’m done with Deadeye. Oh, and have you hunted Fatalis yet? I took a brief look at the quest a while back (solo, and got destroyed ) so it’s still on my to hunt list, if you’re up taking it on. Anyway, I should be around for a bit after the MK League tonight if anyone’s hunting then.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Capcom have programed the game to try and figure out which rare item you’re desperately trying to obtain (by looking at your quest history or something) and then purposefully lowering the rate of its appearance, just to keep you playing the same quest for as long as possible! It’s also funny how we were able to complete that quest with our Palicoes the other day (same hunt where I received a Conquest Sphere, actually ) but as soon as randoms joined in it was fail after fail! I don’t think they’re using anything! Seriously, I’ve never seen so many players fainting before. Hunters be dropping like flies in that quest! More people should try using Prowler, it’s especially great against Akantor as he’s such a big and slow target.

Yep. It helped me to find the Aliens DLC for Pinball FX3 on sale today, which was a nice bonus.

S.C.G used cancel pre-order... ...it’s super effective! Smart move I reckon. Despite loving the look of this game (and its focus on old-school Pokémon) I never even got to pre-ordering it. Had it launched earlier I might’ve been tempted, but not now with Smash right around the corner.

Fun online hunting session with @Glen-i and some randoms last night. I always seem to end up with way more video captures when hunting with Dino Chav! If the pics/gifs thread wasn’t so broken I’d post them, but don’t think I can even open that thread now.
