That's a long game. But assuming the other two participants are fine with it, then OK.

Don't think I have every character starred though...

You've got time.

Nah, it was a rare joking suggestion. What about Complex with proxy mines, an earnest Rare suggestion?

If I get a call-up what should I expect? Whistle stop tour of a few games over an hour?

Pretty much, but we tend to go for two hours, maybe more.

You don't need to stick around for the whole duration if you can't though.

Anyway, I'll make a note to put Goldeneye on the list with those settings, but only if we play a round of Slappers Only, License to Kill afterwards. It's hilarious!

Fair warning though, we play with inverted aim. Majority of us prefer it.

What N64 night would be complete without it? It shouldn’t be as funny as it is.

Oh right, I forgot to ask!

Does that also apply to the Full length Mario Tennis match? Because I'm sure something like a 3 set, 2 game match would be a decent portion of Mario Tennis without commandeering the whole night.

Yes, I'm fully aware that any game of Mario Party lasts for at least an hour, but we'll only play that if you're up for it.

If tennis makes it onto the slate, a short game'll do. Don't want the rest of you throwing the match just to get it over with. ;)

Well, in that case. I leave it to @BowserBasher.

3 set, 2 games? Or 5 set, 6 games? Or something in between?

Shorter game will do. 3 sets is good.

Right, good sesh. And absolutely gentlemanly behaviour throughout!

For context, I'm Player 1 (Boo, Top Left Screen, Maple)

@BowserBasher is Player 2, (Paratroopa, Bottom Left Screen in F-Zero, Top Right in Mario Kart, Sonny)

@Dcubed is Player 3, (Wario, Top Right in F-Zero, Bottom Left in Mario Kart, Wario in Mario Golf)

And @darksnowman is Player 4 (DK, Bottom Right Screen, Harry)

I'm 33 years old...

But still, sometimes we're so flabbergasted, we actually stop taking the mick!

Great evening of games. Thanks guys. So much hilarity. Most of my captures were what @Glen-i already posted but I do have this one from Goldeneye

And this slightly longer version of the one on F-Zero.

that putt of mine was just unbelievable, the moment it started rolling down I could see it going in. Sometimes I surprise myself with some shots I've made. I really have no idea why Nintendo didn't add taunting and applause to new golf games 😂  I mean it's not like we overuse them.

The tennis games were very fun and close. Some great rallies in there. Also Glen really is a one trick pony when it comes to serving with Boo.

That was your putt? Well judged—nicely done. Could see it was heading for the cup as soon as it curved. I only unblock social media embeds when it looks like someone has posted news without comment.

Some more silliness from our session last night.

I'm player 1, @S.C.G is player 2, @BowserBasher is player 3, and @Dcubed is player 4

Mario Golf was strangely devoid of hilarity, but it did have this from S.C.G.

Great gaming session, that double-double (??) Judo chop kill was awesome. 

That lightning glitch in Mario Kart needs to be looked into. I don't ever remember it being like that. I know people used to use it just before another was about to take a jump so that they didn't make it. Maybe it was always like this but we have just never really noticed cause it never happened.

Possible that the next wave of GBA games will be announced soon.

Hopefully Golden Sun will finally make an appearance.

Thank God they’re doing both at once, or else the wait would be tortuous to carry on with the story.

Will be interesting to see how they handle the save transfer feature.  Because with how the link cable support is currently set up? There will be no way to actually make use of the save data transfer feature without having to resort to passwords…

Looks like we've got our answer on that front from the JP press release:

You quit that bitching and get a pen and paper out to write your gold password NAAAOW.

 

No, no you cannot take screenshots with the capture button.

Awwww yeah! Both at once!? So in!

And I don't have to enter that password? Beautiful! Best way to play it!

Can't wait to batter people on The Lost Age with double Sol Blade shenanigans!

The website makes it look like you require 2 players to do it via cable transfer.

What? Oh no... That's no good if it just uses the other person's file.
