Ooh sweet. I may be decent enough to beat you, @Glen-i, to unlocking everything. Pretty natural when it comes to racers.

If we get Forza, we need analogue triggers or it’s just going to be a subpar experience. Maybe the Mario Kart Wheel that only I bought () will be compatible with Switch 2 games so we at least have that way to have analogue go and stop pedals.

Wow. Three way tie, was that our first ever? Lots of close races again. Always the best races.

Probably just an evolution for Survivor Series. Plus I think they saw how well the War Games matches did in NXT that they thought it would be good to bring them to the main shows.

Was this random? I remember it being that it would delete everything when you turned off the power. I remember playing it a lot and it only and always did it to me when the power was turned off. I do remember you could take your copy back to get it changed for the new glitch less copy from where you bought it. But yeah all subsequent releases had no blood. I kinda wish I’d kept the bug and blood copy. Wonder if it’s worth anything. Anyway, yes best wrestling game ever. Isn’t there still a big modding community for it too? I remember back in the day people used to add so many new moves and characters to it all the time.

Found out today that WWE now has a NXT YouTube Channel Looks like they are uploading full episodes (older NXT not current but that’s no bad thing) and even full NXT TakeOvers.

OK, one highlight from me (sorry no more Twitter links, I'm sure people know why) https://bsky.app/profile/bowserbasher.bsky.social/post/3lgl5ldeds22x https://mastodon.social/@BowserBasher/113889533646584551 Take your pick on where to view

This is the only reason I still keep Twitter. I mentioned/asked about Mastodon integration here in the suggestions thread once but it seemed to be an issue with the forum software and since it doesn't seem to be happening I may have to get Blue Sky if that is being added to the forum. I don't and have never used any social media really. I've never got the show the world what you're doing every second of the day mentality.

Glad to have helped? That's fair points on the rest. I didn't think of the cape or sheet there. I knew the Pokémon expert would come through. I did wonder if it may have anything to do with the final Smashes after I had typed it all. I guess the last match is just gonna be everyone asking if everyone is is "ok"..

Ooh interesting theme. Query though. Why is Dark Samus allowed but not Samus? Aren’t they the same in terms of moves? Isn’t the arm cannon a gun anyway? Ok I get Mario (Fludd is a tool) but shouldn’t Dr Mario count? Or are his pills not self made lol? Why only those Pokemon? Do the rest not qualify for some reason I can’t think of. If Pikachu can shoot electric why can’t MewTwo shoot his aura ball thing (wait are you saying his teleporting is a tool). Incineroar doesn’t have weapons does he? His side B maybe doesn’t count? Lucario? Maybe the wrong character image is showing. There’s only 14 to pick from?

Absolutely amazing and insane game. There was a moment I thought I could win. When I had those 22 coins stolen because of the Boo Repellent I knew it was an uphill battle. Still happy with second place though. And yeah, @Dcubed deserved to lose all those coins in the battle game with me, damn trying to leave me with just one coin.

Thank you dice overlords.

Great racing all round tonight. Lots of close races.

Started on my first game yesterday. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds. I've done what's basically the tutorial level and the first main level. The controls are definitely taking a little bit to get used to, though I feel it's more there's no targeting button. So when you have a number of enemies come at you at once, your left just either taking hits or running away to then turn your character around and come back at them again. Stuff like that has ended my game on more than one occasion. Seems like there a fair bit of puzzle elements to the game, so far none have been too taxing, just needed to go over things and make sure to search everything. It's not always clear when you have to interact with something that you need to, as there's no button icon that appears or way of know that that object needs it. In the first level you are required to find a key to operate a small digger to smash a wall. Well I had the key and was at the digger. Tried selecting the key and it did nothing. Tried pressing loads of buttons whilst standing next to it but it did nothing. It was only when I stood in one particular spot that it worked, even then there was no sign or prompt to let me know I was in the right place to use the item. Other than those, so far it's been a fairly decent outing. I've yet to play as more than just a few characters so will see how things go later.

I loved the game but I think it’s too soon for me to pick up a remaster if there’s not a lot changed. I never thought the game struggled on Switch and I never get all these people that say things like “the game dropped 5fps when I was fighting a group of enemies so it sucks” do people really notice that? I think games that drop considerably more fps then yes. And since you mentioned it, any chance we’d get the Spider-Man games? I can’t justify spending that amount of money on a PS5 for just a few games

Absolutely Disgusting behaviour

@Dcubed that was disgusting and you know it.

With the success of New Horizons I think they may already have something in the works for first year of release. My hope though is that they have changed it up quite a bit. Lets move away from the obvious rolling effect and just have if more flatish. We've had that since Let's Go to the City (or city Folk). Having played all the previous AC games, NH felt the least advancements in the series. I just feel the game needs something new to keep it going and apart from diving and the swimming aspect, NH didn't really add anything excitingly new. As for the Switch 2 itself, I have no issue with it being a more powerful Switch (if there is nothing new to add). Bring on the games and let them sell the console.

And the sudden reversals by all the leakers that 100% told us it would be Thursday. I also want Nintendo to send out a tweet or whatever that just says “we’ll let you see it when we want to not when others tell us we want to”

Right, I weren't going to join in as most of the games will be playing are just going to be new Switch games, but at the moment there's not a lot I've seen that I'd be playing. So it would have been like two or three. But then I thought I'd include some GC games (as I've been able to play them using Dolphin) so I've been looking at some I never had and am wanting to play them. So I've got 10 here, top row are Switch plus one NSO N64 game, and the rest are GC games. OxenFree II - I picked this in a sale recently, well last year, as I loved the first one and this was like a couple of £ so I jumped on it then but have never got around to playing it just yet. Stray - I remember seeing this somewhere, and thought it was a neat little game and possibly right up my alley, but then seemed to forget about it. Came across it again recently and have now been looking to purchase it as it's usually only around £25 - £30. No More Heroes (1 and 2) - Right, so I picked these up from the eShop a few years ago when I had been given quite a bit of money on gift cards. They were in a sale and I had heard they were decent. I remember I started the first one but as usual with me, new Switch games get released and I move on to them, but for some reason I never came back to this. And I've never touched the second one. So I hope I can change that. Banjo-Tooie - I did actual start playing this on NSO when it came out and I think I've done the first two or three levels. I never finished this when I had it on the N64 (at least I don't remember finishing it) so I am wanting to give it a go again. Hopefully I can get back into it and give it a go. Onto old GC games. I never had any of these so am wanting to give these a go. 007 Nightfire - Of the 4 Bond games on. GC that I could see, this seems to be one of the more favoured ones. So I've put it on the list of games to try. I know nothing of it so will be going in blind. P.N. 03 - I remember seeing this in magazines and liking the look of it. I don't remember why I never got it, maybe it just didn't then get the attention I thought. But anyway, I've forgotten most of what I saw of it, but I've always wanted to give it a go. Eternal Darkness - Another one that passed me by. Well, I did get this as a Christmas present one year from a friend but I don't think I ever got around to playing it. I know there's a lot of stuff that happens which involved the memory card or time and something with a sanity meter, so I'm not sure how/if that still works in the emulated games. Either way, it was supposed to be good so I'm now wanting to get around to playing it. TimeSplitters: Future Perfect - Whilst looking up games I may have missed on GC. I came across this (along with TimeSplitter 2) and thought it looked like a game I'd enjoy. Know nothing of the games so will be going in blind. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds - I was a huge fan of the show but I never knew about this around the time I had the GC. Looked it up and it seems to be decent so I wanted to give it a go and see. So hopefully I'll get around to at least half of these. @Julius just so you can add me to the first post.

I’m fine either way. I can see how that would be annoying for the one it happens too, but another match it may have been the other way round. Speaking of this, I’ve always seen the “Stage Morph” option and wondered if anyone would be up for that (either as a theme night or maybe just a 1 hour special) I’ve never used it and wondered what chaos that would bring.

Yup, I don’t remember seeing that before, so originally I was saying “is that real” then joined in. Great custom matches @RedShell I can’t believe you didn’t see the second sudden death where I dodged behind you and hit you for the win coming. It was a carbon copy of the first time.

Yep, I always feel the 2 hours are better. Good thing is that as NXT and SmackDown are still shown on network TV in the US, those two when shown here on Netflix (if you don’t watch live) actually have the ad breaks cut out. So NXT still runs 1 and a half hours and Smackdown around 2 hours 15. It’s only now Raw where we will have to deal with the full three hours, and you can even tell that the show still caters for ad breaks when it cuts to black for a second then comes back.

OK, usually replays are in order but last nights deserves to be this way round. (https://mastodon.social/@BowserBasher/113805514436310135) OK, back in March last year I hit @Glen-i with this amazing Suddenly Banana throw. I had to check the MKTV replay as there was no way I thought I'd thrown it over the side of the track and it land just in front of him to get him. Totally meant it and best throw ever. Well, maybe last night beat it. Presenting Suddenly Banana: The Trick Shot (and new best one yet). (https://mastodon.social/@BowserBasher/113805509094603654) Yep. Suddenly Banana, the trick shot. thrown off the truck and bounced right on top of Glen's head. And I totally meant it and you can't say I didn't lol. I don't know if this will ever be beaten, but I never thought the previous one would.
