I had roughly the same experience. No disconnections and I did well when it was Action vs Action (which was around a third of the time) but yeah, most people in team Comedy were level 50 or close to it and most of the time we were outmatched lol Team Comedy won the Splatfest but I made it to Action King and reached level 42.

Impressive!

I'm loving thew new costumes. The online mode looks like it'll be fun too.

I saved a couple of clips myself:

I made the mistake of registering one of my games and getting gold coins for it already and at this rate they'll expire before I can even use them on anything for the switch.

I'm not sure if anyone here used to read Digitiser in the 90's (the Video game pages on Teletext ) but today marks it's 25th anniversary. To mark it there is a new edition and there will be one every day this week: https://www.digitiser2000.com/main-page/25-years-of-digitiser-day-one I absolutely loved Digitiser growing up so this has made me very happy. As an extra treat they've set it up so you can view it the original way you would have on your TV as well: http://teastop.plus.com:8080/?page=470

I picked this up on PC during the current Steam sale and I'm enjoying it, but I have some issues with it too. Firstly every stage seems to have a boss battle in it, which are long, boring and tedious. Bosses have life bars this time and they take a ridiculous amount of time to wear down. Another issue is that recent Lego games have had a character wheel that allows you to switch to different characters quickly which was a great feature, but for some reason they have not put in this game, so its back to taping the Y button and hoping you change to the character you need for a particular task (which I found most of the time, it doesn't). The voice acting sounds kinda bad as it seems the voice actors strike was taking place during development, so as far as I can hear, none of the original voices returned which is a real shame. And lastly, as to be expected there are no Xmen, Magneto, Fantastic Four etc who were a large part of the first game. Although I guess with the Fox Disney thing now, there's a chance they'll be DLC. Despite all the negative things I've said, the game is good but I am disappointed because of how great the first Lego Marvel game was. I mentioned it in the OP, but the first game really did have an almost Nintendo-like quality to it and although its probably too early for me to say as I am only half way through the game right now, I don't think this game is quite as good.

Yeah I was really surprised by The Orville. I made the assumption that Orville would just be a bunch of dick and fart jokes on a space ship but it turns out its a decent show. It even feels like TNG at times.

Someone remade the Bramble Blast level from DKC 2:

Digital Foundry have put up this really good mini-documentary talking about Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct for the snes and what went into making those games:

I had very mixed feelings on the film. A lot of the things they set up in Force Awakens didn't seem to go anywhere or went in what I felt was a disappointing direction. I noticed that too

That's a shame about the load times and frame rates, hopefully they'll improve them with a patch at some point.

Very happy about this, I absolutely love Street fighter 3 and Alpha 2, and pretty much like all of the others.

Yeah I think most of the games I played were Film vs Film.

You're right, that is pretty insane and it probably does signal these games coming to Switch at some point. I'm not familiar with the Shield but unless that remote works like a Wii remote, I have to assume they have a version of Mario Galaxy running without motion controls, which is interesting to me.

Since they already did two recent-ish Mega Man games with 8-bit graphics ( 9 and 10), I'm glad they are not going for an 8-bit look again. I would have preferred 16-bit era graphics but I like the way it looks.
