Yeah, that's kind of the impression I was getting from it too. It's good to see some good games coming out that are more suitable for younger players though; there is generally very little to choose from, in terms of modern releases, outside of Nintendo games, Minecraft and Lego games these days, so it's something we really need to see more of. Yeah, I loved Thumper. It's such an utterly nervewracking game!

I actually played this for the first time only a few years back (I think it was in 2014). I really enjoyed it! I even saved all the damn Tribals! It's far from perfect. The environments are a bit sparse, the framerate is pretty poor (but not that bad by N64 standards) and the level design is somewhat repetitive, with lots of winding corridors that all look pretty similar; but I still had a lot of fun with it. It's a very ambitious game for its time and the gameplay is pretty damn unique still, with an oddball control scheme, a unique blend of platforming and shooting and an interesting weapon setup. The music (what little there is of it) is also really pretty great, with a sort of Buck Rodgers feel that gets you pumped up for adventure! I feel that it's the kind of game that could really do with a modern remake or sequel though, to really flesh out the concept and deliver on the grand scale that the game so wants to stand on, but what's here is a good time. It's probably best played in fairly short bursts, due to the repetitive nature of the level design and you'll likely need a guide to find all the little Tribal buggers, but it's a pretty unique take on the 3rd person shooter that is well worth a play

That last GP was a lot more fun than i expected! Looks like we’ve stumbled onto another winning combo! Great night guys!

EP7 already ripped off parts of Empire (on top of being a glorified EP4 remake), so...

Balloon Fight was even worse lol. People died within 2 seconds of starting Balloon Trip That being said, there was some legit good play here too (especially in Smash and ARMS). And not just amongst the newer games, some of the later players were actually pretty good in the Mario Party 2 minigames. And the SMBDX Race was 100% pure unadulterated hype! Tetris was a total disaster though and I loved it

This thingy reminds me of Platinum’s Distortion World, which was a pretty cool addition to Gen 4. From what I gather, these areas were implied or referenced in the original S/M but were never actually accessible right?

Well that was fun! Some brilliant choices of games and a pretty well organised event (barring the Joycon issues with ARMS). Man, I wanna play SMBDX’s VS mode now!

That was amazing! I forgot how much I loved the VS mode in that game! Those spike blocks are the most wonderfully trolly things!

Hang on... The 3DS VC version of SMB DX doesn’t support multiplayer though... How are they doing this here? Ahh, GCN GB Player. Whelp! Don’t they feel stupid for not having Link cable support now?

4 way draw incoming...

Oh wow! I was just joking about them using Mario Party 2!

Jeff didn’t even need a working Joycon because John Numbers just bodied him anyway

Woo! Tetris GB! @Glen-i‘s worst nightmare!

Oh wow! Only one person actually finished!? Damn... that’s just hilariously embarrassing!

Whelp! Nobody is getting a Shiny Gold medal here!

Another great choice with DKCR!

Kyle is doing them dirty!

Wish they picked Battle Mode. Kind of lame that it’s effectively the same game as the one in the last NWC; battle mode would’ve at least been different enough...

Holy crap! What an awesome surprise! Who expected Pyoro!? This game is rad as hell! Awesome choice!

+12!? Dem numbers!

Ahh, this will be a glorious, glorious mess!

Wow Bailey! That was actually legit impressive how quick you died!

Balloon Fight in the running for the Perfect Attendance award I see. Good stuff!

Wow! Didn’t realise that Roy as such a good choice for Home Run Contest! 7800!?!? Holy crap!! Roy’s our Boy!!!

NO!! Go DOWN the mountain stupid!!!
