    Is this a private battle or can anyone join?

    @dazzybee , @Nicktendo 

    We were just messing about, it was an open room but I think it’s max 4 players playing at once. I’ve left now and they’re all still playing.

    I'm not. My Switch has always been a piece of junk for a lot of online gaming. I think ARMS and Monster Hunter are the only games that have worked fine. Mario Party has been the worst so far but LOADS of people complained about that, so it was probably just the shoddy backend that Nintendo had implemented with that game. I can play my other consoles online fine with wireless but not the Switch. 

    Nah, I'm not. I'll plug my Wii ethernet adaptor in and see if that improves it. Although I'm not too fussed as once I nab these challenges then I won't be touching the online anymore.

    I had loads of problems on WiFi, especially with Rocket League and Splatoon 2, despite having a fast connection. Got my LAN adapter back in March and it’s been flawless ever since. The release day models must have some really shoddy WiFi tech inside them.

  2. Absolutely insane numbers, and thoroughly deserved. Sakurai pulled no punches in this game, not only another incredible celebration of Nintendo history, but also Smash Bros history. 

    5 million opening week is a huge possibility. I’m more interested in the hardware numbers though, is this really gonna help push the Switch over 20 mil for the year?

  3. Guess it's time for me to jump on board. Didn't see much value at launch for full price, but considering it's only 20 quid in my local store...

    Triple Deluxe is the only Kirby game I've played since the GB, I'm guessing this is of fairly similar ilk? I enjoyed it, a lot even, but I never got Robobot which was apparently the better game.

    I'm afraid not. I find Derrick really annoying. Love the other three though

    But how can you like Ash? He is "ResetEra, the person". Unsubscribed from the podcast because I couldn't stand him.

    Also, Derrick's Christams videos with his Gran are the sweetest content available on YouTube. You have no soul. Of all of the them, Derrick clearly has the most love for Nintendo games, I would have thought that would be right up your street? :D Each to their own I guess.

    Yeah there is a low latency setting in the main menu (not the in-game menu). It's a bit hidden.. Go to settings, and press y. It tells you about the option below.

    Had no lag at all with @Vileplume2000, though we're in the same country. Had a few hitches when playing with @Nicktendo, but nothing too bad. Didn't use the low latency setting, I had a full bar and 3-bar respectively.

    Yeah, if you're in Holland then there's a good 2,000km between us. Sucks for me I guess, I'm not geographically close to anyone on this forum. 

    What does low latency do?

    I really do hope that Nintendo invest some of this money from the online into servers, or is that wishful thinking? In 2027, when Xbox games are running exclusively via the cloud, I guess we can at least hope to be playing NEW Mario Kart 8 DX on Nintendo servers instead of P2P.

    Thanks. Yeah, that seems better than I expected. Not perfect, but better.

    It really is incredible how snappy the app is. More games of course would be nice, as would more options (button mapping, borders etc.). For 20 quid a year, I think it's worth it. There's something very novel about playing NES games online with someone.

    So how easy is it to join a game with friends? Can you invite them or did you guys arrange to play the game elsewhere? If it's easy to join then that is a bit  better than I originally thought.

    I just went online and saw he was playing a game, clicked join and I started watching his 1P game. When he saw I'd joined he backed out and we started 2P. Then I got the notification in the app for voice chat. Very smooth.  

    You can opt to play offline or onilne. If you're online, any friends can join the game you're currently playing. The app is great, very slick experience.

  8. Dived in to a game of River City Ransom with @Nintendo Fan, absolutely hilarious, but mostly because the game runs at 10fps in 2 player mode :laughing:

    Was a good laugh even though we both died at the first boss, the clapping thing is pretty funny too. I got a notification from the app to start voice chat but I didn't bother.

    This service has a lot of potential, especially if SNES and N64 games are gonna hit soon. Just a shame that RCR runs so badly...
