Can't make it tonight

I don't see what's really stopping them running a web or app based version of Miiverse which you can post to directly from the Switch, like you can to Twitter or FB. Seems like a waste really.

Looks like I got my days mixed up and I'm going to be out all evening... Tomorrow I'll be on from about 9am til finish though so if anyone's about tomorrow for team eggs and bacon, give me a shout!

Decent night for me, two bronzes! It's good to be back. Tonight's theme was mega, even if I HATE 200cc Here was me at the end of Rainbow Road, hunting down @Vileplume2000 for first place. He blocked a blue shell with the horn, then I red-shelled him. Victory! I thought, before remembering that this is 200cc, and in 200cc, no-one is safe. Bonus video: I tried to throw a bob-omb at the leaders, the result was something I've never seen on MK8 before!

I'm also gonna be using the standard bike as I haven't unlocked that other car yet...

In!

If you go through a checkpoint again it will save them. Takes longer, but saves you doing a lot over and over again.

@Hero of Time interested to hear your thoughts on Snake Pass. I picked it up at launch and enjoyed it. Has a very N64 Rare vibe to it and gets pretty challenging in the late game.

I felt exactly the same as you after the first few worlds. After seeing the credits and doing a fair amount of the post-game content, it definitely picks up! Some of the later moons are tricky to get and you begin to appreciate the variety on offer in world design and how tightly put together they all are. I'm still on the fence as to whether I agree with the universal 10/10 praise, but I can see more clearly now why many called it that way.

Rockstar just lost a sale. No dice. If they can't stump up for a bigger cart, I'm not gonna stump up for an old game at an inflated price. Bethesda get all my money.

I'm gonna day one this for sure! Got it on Steam around Xmas, put in a decent amount of hours but once it was rumoured for the Switch I stopped playing. Such an incredible game, and N-E nights should really be great fun.

Rocket League dropping Nov 14th! $19.99 or region equivlent. That's what £15? Novemeber be stacked, baby. Double dipping on this.

We've always more or less retained the same core of members though, sure people come and go but the community still has its key members I'm sure GAF will stick around, will be interesting to see what becomes of it. But ResetEra is where its at now. Saw a couple of posts by the GameXplain crew, hopefully more of tge industry types have migrated with them and the better aspects of GAF will be retained over there in the long run.

Yep, I plan on raising my kids from the NES onwards. None of this iPad crap. It's a process. A process from which true appreciation grows

I don't think I've ever put this much time into gaming since I had an N64 and zero responsibility. I feel bad sometimes looking at how many hours I've sunk into my Switch, but then I realise it's ok, because a golden age is well and truly upon us and I'll look back fondly when Nintendo inevitibly balls-up their next console

That's the one! I'm loving this new direction Nintendo have been taking on this and with Splatoon. Long live lyrics in Nintendo music!

Just seen the credits roll... I also had some left Joy-Con issues with this. First time for me. I much preferred to play with the pro controller, and was actually able to pull of moves easier with it!

Yeah, that's why I didn't pick it up at launch. I only did so because I had an Amazon voucher. It's a shame, but they must've expected it putting them so close together. I just don't know if there's much point, from a financial standpoint, in continuing to support a game with a low player base. Unless of course the content is already largely ready to go.

Regarding ARMS, I think the Q2 sales are pretty disappointing. Seems it didn't have the... LEGS (sorry) one might have hoped. I remember the board being really into it on release, then it dropped off completely. I picked it up at the same time as Splatoon 2, and obviously largely ignored it. After getting burned out by Splatoon 2, I took it for a spin and it is a fantastic game. Easily one of the most unique and rewarding fighters I've played in a long time. I'm getting to grips with it now and trying out different characters (Twintelle is my main). I'm still surprised by the depth and how each fighter is drastically different from the rest. Yes, it's lacking in content a bit (still), even if the online is up there with Nintendo's best efforts. Here's what I'd do with the game: keep releasing content (maybe at a quicker pace), keep updating the roster, add a couple of new modes / stages / options, integrate the online app for stats and voice chat and that will keep the early adopters happy and the community playing. Then, on update 6 / 7, whatever we're on during a quiet patch next year, re-release the game with new packaging and a $10/£10 price drop, with the latest version on the cartridge. A little marketing campaign could push it further, and they could highlight the fact the game is packed with content, which was one of the main criticisms on launch. The game deserves to be played by more people and I am APPALLED that 1-2 Switch managed to out-sell it.

1-2 Switch doing 1.37 millions units must have made them an absolute killing when you consider it probably cost about a fiver to produce.

Put me down for WARM. Nothing beats a good fry up on a Sunday morning. I should be good to play Saturday evening and all day Sunday.

Judging by the speed things are moving and updating on ResetEra, I think it's safe to say GAF is probably dead.

Working again tonight.. Will be back next week!

Yeah, that one also puzzled me

Yes, that level is the best from Splatoon on Wii U. Time to get back into this I think!
