Interesting to see if we’re getting any new challengers or stages in today’s Direct!

I would love more retro characters joining the roster, but with each generation it’s getting harder to think of characters that fit that bill. have joined as Assist Trophies and then they’re both also a lot more obscure than R.O.B., Duck Hunt Duo, Mr. Game & Watch or Ice Climbers. So let’s say we’re getting even more Retro fighters than last few times, who could possible join?

What’s so great about this game? I’ll download the demo but would be great to hear some impressions!

Is it occurring at random moments or during fixed locations/moments?

Yeah, I’ve purchased the four Legacy collections over the weekend and decided to start with the X series. I heaven’t noticed any audio lag and I only play handheld. On the other hand I’m the type of guy who just doesn’t notice small technical issues at all 😉 Only stuff I do notice is the visual lag when you’re moving very fast and there are big enemies on screen. The water dragons in Launch Octopus’ stage for example. Or while ‘driving’ the mine carts in Armoured Armadillo’s stage.

Oh and the worst part: they use the Switch unit for their energy which draines it, even when it’s in sleep mode...

On NVC they were pretty negative about these. They left out wireless, gyro, shoulder buttons and no form of rumble at all. That and there’s no right Joy Con to match the left one with these.

This.

Not at all, I’m extremely careful with my Switch in fact. I just don’t think it’s the heat but instead it might have something to do with the pressure on the machine while playing it undocked. That’s the only thing I can think off that might have caused it. And if that’s the case then the hardware quality is severely lacking...

Glad to hear yours (and others) are fine but as I almost never put my Switch in the dock, I assume it’s due to another issue than just heating from the dock...

I’ll light a candle for you 👍🏻

Yep, I’ve read that yesterday and mine has it too. A small crack over the back and a bit of the casing near the power button has chipped off. I treat my Switch with the utmost care, have never ever been even remotely close to bumping it and always have it in a soft padded casing. Only use it undocked, don’t charge it with the dock but directly throught the first party cable and never take it out the house nor let anyone touch it All my Nintendo hardware I’ve owned since release (NES was the first) and none of the other ones have cracks or bits chipped off. Only exception being the DS lite hinge issue. So I’m really sad as this is not the quality of hardware I’ve gotten used to with Nintendo.

Wow, nice score! Where did you get it from and how much did it cost you??

While I get what you mean and I also prefer the game to be a little/lot more challenging, I wouldn’t think adjusting the game that way would be a smart move. New and mostly very young fans will always be a key part of the franchise’s successes. Adding extra modes like normal/hard/etc could be interesting. Hardest mode could incorporate stuff from the Nuzzlock challenge for example.

Weren’t hamsters popular since Sir Lemmiwings?

Great to hear, you’re in for a lot of fun!!

Not hyped yet but that will come once we’re closer to release. It’s Smash on the go and I really like that. But I’m not extremely hyped for any game that was shown at E3. Looking forward to Mario Tennis after the demo two weeks ago though!

Items like this and the fake smash ball make me more hyped for this game than a yellow brown skin for Peach with slightly adjusted moves.

Congrats @Jimbob!!

Yep, I read this too, as part of the same rumour/source that claimed that the new Star Fox game will be a mix of genres and extremely ambitious to the point that a lot of people related to the project thought it couldn’t be done on Switch. I still think this rumoured game is legit. No part of the original leak claimed it would be announced on E3, but just stated it’s the project that Retro’s working on. I don’t expect a last minute announcement because of that. And RE Retro’s positive image; I think it’s mostly because lots of people put hope in them as a Western Nintendo studio working on franchises and genres that are popular in the West but the Japanese partners mostly ignore.

I heard a rumout that New Donk City has been shown as a stage?

I bet there’ll be more new challengers

Looks alot like Splatoon, I’m intrigued!
