I'll enter at the one in San Jose. Using Mario Kart 7 as a qualifier is kinda weird though.

I guess this is their way to make sure people still know that the 3DS is still alive.

Was Narcissa was the same person who live-streamed themselves downloading and playing Wind Waker HD back when it launched, which thanks to the general download speeds of the Wii U meant that she had tons of people watching her watching a loading bar slowly creep across the screen for hours?

Because that's something I always remembered for some reason.

Severed is perfect for the switch.

At least in touch screen mode. Will it even be playable with joycons?

Wasn't it mentioned that there would be some games that could only be played handheld due to the need of the touchscreen? I vaguely remember hearing that would be a thing for some eshop games.

I'd say get a 2d sprite based game as that will last a lot longer on battery.. Snake pass would be a good plane game, but you might get tired of all the motherfuckin snakes on this motherfuckin plane.

I have probably played 50% docked 50% tabletop and no handheld. Fits into my desk really well for when I have time to play during the work day between poo poo.

If you work somewhere they don't mind you playing video games on the clock, it's probably a handy way to play at your desk.

Is it safe to say this wouldn't exist and they'd still be modding Brawl if they never got their cease and desist?

I think you have this confused with Icons: Combat Arena, afaik that's the Project M but legally-viable clone

ninja edit: or there's more than one, of course

Maybe, I'm not that sure anymore now that you pointed out there's actually more than one Smash Bros clone in development.

Yeah, I only just heard of Brawlout, which is most definitely a Smash clone. Icons is the one that's actually the Project M developers though.

Yes, because my preferred control scheme is separated joycons, so I don't use handheld very much.

I don't think I've managed to play a game with in-game voice chat where 99% of people with it enabled weren't just random crunching sounds, the sound of a fan blowing air directly at the microphone, feedback from the person's television, music, or very occasionally a voice that's so choppy you can't understand it

I got a folding stand for my Kindle that would probably work all right with the Switch in that scenario

But using the loose JoyCons felt dumb and so did carrying around the grip so I just played it in handheld mode

In-game chat is so 3 gens ago. Party chat has been the standard for 2 gens. (With a few big exceptions like Friday the 13th.)
