Luigi (COM) being awarded a random star on the first turn set the tone until Mario later picked up three stars (legit, stolen, random) in a single turn. Looked like Mario Party was for the Mario Bros. Still don't know how Yoshi eked out the win. Hectic. I spent the first while online trying to find out what the items do—forgot it was so item-heavy. How easy these things slip your mind in the intervening decades. Totally missed why there was another five turns after it said last turn. Thought I'd check but it said 0 people were in the room. Just wanted to say bear with me if I was grinding it to a halt too much checking descriptions.

Put the CPU on easy if he doesn't and it'll be all the same.

End up? Go on then, I'll sub in for a board. Don't think I'll stay on for the rest of the festivities so I'll bow out after that. Whenever you're finished playing that game with knock-off art from another established game series we'll get down to it.

Haha, yes. I played through it a few times with the Lylat voices but with the full-voicing of the game in English being so novel (and so well done), I had to revert to it. Always heard their garbled speech in weird ways since the first time I played Starwing. Like, "refurnish!" for scramble and "d'you read me, jab?" for Falco's voice clip.

Always loved when it through up a track with a jump on a right-angled corner. Most of the CPU, if not all, couldn't handle it and it'd pretty much guarantee you top the podium.

Joy-cons: check. Pre-order swag: check. Next off the production line should be amiibo, then.

Good shouts. All games I skipped so likely right enough. Well, I later got Snap unboxed but you know what I mean.

Hard to think of anything beyond Majora's Mask that didn't follow that template. I always found it disconcerting the way cardboard insert worked—it was like Game Boy boxing except upside down. Ropey. Wished those carts were fully insulated like SNES games.

Silver lining that they kept the news under their hats until Gerrard extended his contract at Al-Ettifaq. It's been said that Alonso has some sort of gentleman's agreement with Leverkusen that they won't stand in his way if a big club comes in. Likely as good an option as any but I don't want to jump ahead and think about what comes next yet. Could just as easy be LFC back in the doldrums.

This is the what I heard the audio of on the radio. Apparently the higher-ups have known since November. Klopp hugs all round.

Jurgen says he's leaving at the end of the season.

Wonder what sort of hodgepodge Mute City I + Mute City II makes if it isn't Mute City III. The X Cup must still be on their minds.

Lylat Wars was, as far as I remember, the first Nintendo game we got that was fullscreen. I think until that point only Rare was putting out N64 games that were properly optimised for PAL tellies.

Apparently if the F-Zero 99 mode is glitching out, you can vote for ??? to have the chance of competing on a secret track, which is a mashup of two existing tracks. Haven't been on the game myself but I still wanted to know what these secret tracks are all about.

Thanks for the races. Getting the winter version of the AC track was a treat.

Super effective advertising.

To Be The Very Best Like No One Ever Was™.

Good to see they had something lined up for the end of the winter races. My ask would be that they put the event/GP schedule online, even just the next 24-hour period. Or add it in the NSO phone app because I did find it useful for Splatoon 3 to pick and choose when I'd go on it.

Fine statement. Level heads have prevailed from within the company, at least. Will their fanbase follow this lead? Chance'd be a fine thing.

Haha, more like sextuple dipping. You need the GBA carts in your Ace Attorney shrine.

Must admit I'm not too bothered about this. Chalk it up to a combination of being done with the game, not being into (paid) DLC and a lack of intrigue since it was revealed to be some sort of roguelike—but they are welcome to convince me otherwise. Hope it delivers for everyone still on Splatoon 3. Is it this time of year again.

Would be good to give it a send-off. Not sure what online games I have except MK7 and Fantasy Life.

I'd be hesitant to doubledip. Thanks for the endorsement, though. It's the sort of kick up the jacksy I need to get me back on it to see what transpires after that malarky with the pink haired bird.

I got the Phoenix Wright trilogy off the 3DS eShop years ago but never got far into the first one. I enjoy a point-and-click as much as the next person, but I dunno, for whatever reason PW didn't capture me. Would prefer to give it another go some time before potentially continuing with the series. Remember there being a huge buzz around these games back in the DS days.

Had the first one or two of these on PC. Thought they were pretty substandard and demonstrated the style over substance divide introduced by Playstation. At least I could say on the playground I'd first-hand experience of gunning down tigers and whatever. Then one time at a friends house, he put on 3 and wanted me to do a swimming bit. Maybe on keyboard but there was no chance on the Playstation controller. It wasn't long before we were back on WCW vs nWo on the N64. Saying that, I'd probably have one or both of the new Tomb Raider games if they were on Switch and I'm keeping this rerelease in mind for an eventual pickup. Always nice to see a familiar name/ avatar!
