I've been experienceing a weird glitch only when playing online, this doesn't affect my son, so I thought it had something to do with me being the host, so we swapped around, and nope same, perfectly smooth online for him, and I experience a stutter every 2 seconds, a minor frame lag. It is far from game breaking, but it is a little off-putting, and weird. Then, it got brought up in a discussion on Twitter, and it turns out its not the game, or internet connection, but the way in which the game interacts with your Friends List on the Switch itself. If you've a large number of friends in that underused friend list then you will experience this weird frame drop ewvery 2 seconds when playing online, doesnt affect the offline single player. The only way around it at present is to make another account and play using that. Let's hope Capcom sorts this out for the final version.

The very good 'The Hong Kong Massacre' now has a review up at the main webpage, unfortunately it's not as good as 'Hotline Miami Collection', but will make a worthy companion for lovers of the latter. The Hong Kong Massacre N-Europe Review

Would love to take part and would if the time suited, but it never will, any evening for you lot in the UK is about 3-4am for me. Sound asleep thanks.

We carried on the Among Us theme, but played in separate rooms, and recorded our voices as we play independantly. What results is 2 videos with the same visual feed, i.e. my play time as we can only record off the one Switch, but different audio logs taking you through the thought process. Quite happy with the outcome, as my son is hilarious after you've watched my video first for context. [Together] Among Us (Part 2) Old Nintendo Gamer Talks [Together] Among Us (Part 2) Son Talks

Jumping on the zeitgeist, the band wagon and everything else, and maybe a little too late, but we had fun playing through a couple of rounds of Among Us. [Together] Among Us (Part 1) Old Nintendo Gamer & Son tackle 2 games in the social phenomenon. Sitting and chatting in the same room, is it fair to help each other?

[Morgan Plays] Thumper (Level 2) Morgan tackles the slightly longer and more precarious 2nd level. This time adding in the ability to fly for a short distance to clear tricky spike traps. Trying to get Morgan to play more things by himself, this time with me commentating and trying not to distract him too much. This game is so hypnotically mesmeric.

Most certainly will do. Still need to play through the last of the 3 games, which happen to be the competitive multiplayer games, but I'll give it a good chat in the upcoming weeks.

Had a feeling the Greek's didn't do the long a sound for the single vowel. I studied archaeology, but went in for the Human Origins stuff, not the modern Greeks. Freedom Planet is a really solid game, wondering how you think it holds up to the classic Sonic games.

[Together] NintendoLand: Takamaru’s Ninja Castle Old Nintendo Gamer & Son follow the path of the Ninja and slice their way through the competition. Another great little mini-game.
