Out for this week, my in-laws are coming to visit...

Vileplume2000 - 7580-3712-2716 - Dennis - Yes Mariokart 8 DeLuxe Splatoon 2 Well, using the app is a big word... I have it installed and opened it once.

For some reason didn't get to playing Salmon Run with you guys. Am definitely up for it soon but not this weekend unfortunately. Also finally reached level 10 so I can start with Ranked. Glad I got this game in the end, loving it!

Mii too!

Yeah I really should have checked the times better. I got up yesterday early to play but then the Fest was not on yet (so played some Salmon Run instead). Then I had to visit family/friends out of town the rest of the weekend. And I thought ah well, at least I can play some on Sunday evening. Boom! Splatfest over getting a whopping 2 snails. Better luck next time.

Maybe an idea to make a dedicated Salmon Run thread for those online hookups? I did play some Salmon Run yesterday with some randoms, fun to see some new stuff I didn't see before (fog, fireflies and that mothership). Fireflies + sniper is a terrible, terrible combination! That didn't end well for me.

Yes true on the funding and on the MH overkill. And I am really curious to see how MH: World will perform, I really doubt if they can meet their expectations there. And with SFV also not performing well I wonder how long they can hold out. Too bad, it was one of my favourite devs with series like Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Mega Man (and smaller titles like Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts).

Well, Capcom did say that Street Fighter performed better than expected so they will ramp up their Switch game development. To be honest, I would like them to start making some fresh content for Switch instead of ports or upgrades.

Nintendo will ship extra units of the SNES Classic, in the US at least: From Nintendo's Facebook page.

Loved Revelations 1 on the 3DS, and luckily haven't bought Revelations 2 yet via Steam. So I'll be definitely pick this up on the Switch! Strange though that they cannot cram both games on 1 cartridge. I wonder if they include all the PC DLC?

Thanks for the adds HoT and Smeágol! Unfortunately I was about to go offline by the time you guys came online. But I did play my first Salmon Run games with some randoms. Great fun indeed! I love the chaos, and I can see how it is even better when playing with some people who understand the strategy behind it. Although I also found myself trying to tackle a boss with a weapon that was not so appropriate. Did you guys use the voicechat by the way? Be it discord or the app? Anybody even tried voice chatting with the app?

Just added you @Sméagol, in case I want to join in on a Salmon Run session!

So, my 5 cents about this game! The demo didn't convince me, but playing the game some more did! I have only briefly touched single player, and have not even been on a Salmon Run. Mostly I'm just increasing my rank (level 8 now) playing with randoms in Turf War. Now that I know the maps a bit better I can throw in much more tactics, especially climbing on top of stuff and jumping people with rollers or other nasty tricks. I can see how this can get very interesting once I start Ranked! The 2 map rotation is a bit bad indeed, especially since sometimes you just play the same map 4 times in a row. Not being able to change your loadout is bad as well. But for the rest I am hooked, even after being warned more than once to stay off the hook.

So how do you guys value motion controls with the Switch compared to the Wii(U)? I have trouble with them. For Splatoon 2 it works if I play with Joy-Cons in the grip, but I'm much less accurate in handheld mode. For Breath of the Wild same, tilt puzzles are hell when in handheld mode and even in the Joy-Con grip it is a bit hit or miss. I also tried Mariokart 8 now for a bit with single Joy-Con and motion control but I was all over the place.

I'm in as well!

Yeah okay, so I caved and ordered the game yesterday haha! Justified it to myself as one shop had it for around 50 euros so that's as good as a deal as I can get since second hand people are also paying that price. But I still love the whole setting and just want to dive in deeper to see if I can get used to the gameplay! During Splatfest I only played with motion controls in handheld mode which is just bad. So I can try it with motion when docked or just sticks. Also I think this will be an evergreen throughout the Switch's lifespan. So not having it just seems like a no-go.

Doesn't it scale a bit? I thought they improved this, especially on iPhone with the improved AR functions. Oh wait nevermind, ARKit update on iPhone is not there yet, my bad! Good optical illusion then@serebii!

That guy is HUGE! Can't wait till they put Wailord in then.

Are you using Tapatalk? I also cannot see these images anymore in Tapatalk since we moved the forum to the new software. I'm not sure if I can join, depends if I can finish something which you will see on the main site tomorrow.

I thought this was going to be a insta-buy for me, but after playing the Splatfest I may wait a bit more. I never played Splatoon before, but I love the theme, the setting and the characters. But after the Splatfest I'm a bit in doubt how much I will play the game. Controls are one thing, and it seems like another game which requires a ton of time to master and rank up. Right now I still have a lot of games which I still want to play, and I'm not sure this is the game I want to invest much time in. I think my strategy will be wait for some time, and wait until someone who picks it up will sell it cheap second-hand (which I think will happen since a lot of people have a Switch but there are not that many 1st party games yet, so they buy everything).

So apparently Amazon had this online for a couple of hours: Would really open the door for 3DS ports to Switch! Edit: apparently the box art is fan art, so probably fake news

Fun night! I sucked hard in the first 2 GPs. Luckily battle mode is in so I could get some points there. Got some nasty stuff (blue shell 50 meters before the finish in the one race I was in first place!) and did some nasty stuff (red shelling people who are airborne and star tackling people right before the finish line). Loved the all shy guy setup, these guys make the best sounds.

I'm in as well this week! I just sent you a friend request@BowserBasher.

Here in The Netherlands preorders are not open yet on any shop. But if I look at sites and forums, a lot of people are in panic mode, refreshing like mad or plundering your UK Amazon stock. With the NES Mini I placed a pre-order fairly early which worked out, but I feel that the hype now is even bigger. I think all in all it will work out with Nintendo promising to miss more units, but just to be sure I pre-order as soon as a Dutch site puts it up!

Yes, the NES Classic also only had a USB cable, no AC adapter. Great list of games though, I wonder if we will see a difference between the US and EU version. Is that EU version confirmed? I played a lot of SNES games and was yesterday thinking again about a SNES Classic Mini. The only real game I would have loved for 2p co-op is Turtles In Time.
