8pm tonight it is then. *sharpens Dual-Blades and stocks up on Mega Potions*

Said in the voice of Huber... "The Game Awards 2019, starts... right NOW!"

Yes, great minds and all that. That's exactly what I'm doing, watching on Twitch via the Easy Allies stream right now.

Yep, that was one heck of an ice cold finish on that stage. Brilliant fun though, thanks to you and @RedShell for the games, I really enjoyed those matches. Also, I don't want to speak too soon but I recorded our session tonight and the footage might have mostly captured correctly, so there's a chance I might be able to so something with it editing wise, seeing as I don't seem to have much luck with capturing recently, but I'm hopeful this time as the software is taking a while to save the file which is usually a good sign. If it worked out then I'll see if I can either make a highlight reel or pair it up with a certain audio track if I get the time, we'll see.

Resident Evil: S.T.A.R.S... DLC which fills in a gap between Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 perhaps? That's my guess.

That is just... brilliant. Chao in Sapce finally officially exists! Loved the eyebrows on the Chao at the end, that got a chuckle out of me.

Nintendo Switch Online NES and SNES applications have now been updated All up on the main page now, thought it best to just put all the NES and SNES game updates into one article and mess around with the banner art a bit. Some good games in there, good move on putting Star Fox 2 in there as well, always nice to have it there as an option on the Switch. Plenty more titles you could be adding throughout 2020 though Nintendo so please keep adding titles when you can.

Good price for it, I already bought the game physically (of course) but for digital it's a great deal. I just wish I had 25% more time to devote to playing this game and other titles which have been released recently. Ah, I'll get around to playing them, one day... I'll play this the next time I'm in the mood for a decent 2D platformer.

Excellent episode there @londragon and @Nicktendo I just finished listening to the podcast while putting up some news articles on the main page. Some really good conversation relating to the Indie World presentation and I enjoyed listening to what you've been playing, nice Podcast EXTRAS this week as well. I'm just going to say now that I have no idea what the mystery music is from this week... I definitely knew what last weeks was though but obviously I couldn't give it away.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate goes back to the 80's for the latest tournament An excellent idea for a tournament theme from Nintendo, it all starts this Friday and lasts for three days. Plus I couldn't miss a chance to share that excellent piece of promotional artwork, the use of Mr. Game & Watch is inspired.

Pokémon Sword and Shield has more details shown post release More details about version exclusives, different forms etc, in a cut 'n paste press release from Game Freak. Just putting the information out there. One day, I might get back into playing the game, you never know.

*nods* indeed it is. And seeing as I'm now in a position where I can join in with some Monster Hunting on a Friday or Saturday, count me in as well.

The Game Awards starts at 5:30pm PT, so that will make it 1:30am in the UK then? And it's three hours long... I mean, I'm not surprised, I think it was the same kind of time last year as well but still, three hours... Probably something to watch in the background while playing something on the Switch I reckon.

Yes, you can play the game offline with it... I believe, although I think it works out even cheaper to buy the physical copy as it comes with a years online subscription... ...which you don't need as you mentioned that you're already online via the family option, in which case it just comes down to, do you want to play the following modes offline... Marathon Mode CPU Battle Mode If you're happy just playing Tetris online, then I'd say you don't need it but if you want to play offline then you probably do.

Nintendo Indie World 10/12/2019 Presentation Roundup Now up on the main site, the standard N-Europe Roundup which traditionally follows every live Nintendo-related presentation. Full press release, link to the embedded video and a couple of plugs for both upcoming episodes of our two podcasts which just might have some discussion about this. Personally, the Streets of Rage 4 trailer was the best bit for me but the One More Thing... at the end was pretty good.

Devil May Cry/Dark Souls/Astral Chain?

*enters thread* Psst... my copy arrived. *leaves thread*

@Gadwin that's excellent news! Congratulations! I'm very happy for you my friend, I know how long you've been talking about wanting to pass and that you've put a lot of time and money into learning so I'm glad its paid off. Let me know if you've ever planning a road trip down to Cornwall. In all seriousnes though, I hope that this will enable you to get a new job somewhere slightly further afield doing something that you really enjoy.

I mean... I so nearly bought them several times but even at the reduced price Cadence of Hyrule was still £15... while Crypt of the Necrodancer was still £17... If they were both on a game card it would probably cost just over £30 and that would then feel worth it to me, heck I'll go to £40 to have them both on a card.

Still hoping for Cadence of Hyrule + Crypt of the Necrodancer physical Switch release double pack on one game card.

And it's now up on the front page. Thanks to @Helmsly for sharing the information on this with us so quickly, I credited you in the article. We'll be sure to report on it right after the presentation airs.

@Sckewi do you keep your controller connected via USB for the same reason that I do because you don't like using a wireless connection? If so, then I'm assuming in the options you'll have the option turned on in the menu to make the controller only connect to the console when the USB cable is inserted instead of charging. If you don't have that option enabled, then each time you've had the controller connected via USB, it has still been wirelessly connected but only charging. Updating the firmware as Dennis has said though is also worth doing, in fact, you either need to updated the console firmware and/or the controller firmware to get the above option. Interestingly, I had noticed that my Pron Controller did something similar the other night but I just put that down to me using a USB extender, usually reconnecting that works. It didn't last time though, so I just used my GC controller to play Mario Kart 8 DX on Thursday, chances are the next time I use the Switch it will be fine, if not I'll let you know. I hope this helps anyway.

A Smashing Cast Episodes 4 is now available And it's now up on the main site! Thanks once again to everyone involved and to @Dcubed for some really fancy editing. A really great episode I thought with some decent conversation, intense battles and more than a few amusing moments. We're always grateful for any feedback, comments or suggestions. Until we Smash again!

I get why you're not buying Smash but I also don't get why you're not buying it, but I respect your decision all the same... ...you monster! I'm guessing that because you've played it locally at a friends house a lot and prefer to play it locally maybe... which I can totally understand but even so, it's nice to have the option to play online because it offers a completely different experience, but I digress. Anyway, never mind all that because I just found this... Slay The Spire for Nintendo Switch only £27.96 on eBay with code "PARTYTIME" (20% off, expires tonight, selected sellers only) And yes, I bought a copy because on the Switch it seems like the physical version of Slay The Spire is an odd one which isn't stocked everywhere and I know that me purchasing it at some point was going to be inevitable because... reasons! Also, oddly it's not available on The Game Collection but the seller on eBay is The Game Collection Outlet... so they had copies of it at some point I presume but just not on their main site, which... actually works out better as the game is now cheaper by getting it from them but via eBay. I can't say when I'm going to play Slay the Spire mind... but I bought it now at least and if you want to get a cheap physical copy of it @drahkon then you can, there's still a few left.
