My friend says that some of the bosses would just straight up not have their sprite load and you'd have to fight them somehow without knowing where they were. It's a really bad port.

If Waluigi is playable in Mario + Rabbids I don't care how many Rabbids are in it, I'm buying it. I know there's a Waluigi and Wario Rabbid boss fight, but is my boy Waluigi playable?

Picked up Mario Rabbids at Target and they're giving away a pretty cool Rabbid foam shooter toy for free with it.

All the reviews are out and they're all saying it's good. It's a great starting point for newbies to tactical turn based games apparently. I always wanted to try an XCOM but they seem a little intimidating so this seems perfect for me.

RE tactical turn-based games

Should I play Mario Rabbids or should I play Fire Emblem Echoes? I have played multiple Fire Emblems and zero XCOMs.

I realize that asking this question in the Switch thread might perhaps be kinda dumb because one of those is a Switch game and one isn't but still

Have you actually looked into Echoes? I've played and completed every english released Fire Emblem starting from the DS/Gamecube and Echoes is my least favorite by a large margin, to the point I quit like 15 hours in.

Miiverse was the only form of social media that I enjoyed using. It worked so well because the posts were sorted based on the game they were about, so you could expect your post to be read by people who know what the game is and who share your interest in it. No Facebook problem of having to explain a high-context joke to your mom, no Twitter problem of putting your video games shitposts alongside your politics shitposts.

Echoes is the most unusually designed FE game, and we're talking about a series where you play matchmaker in order to produce optimal time travel babies.

I glanced through the OP of the thread back when there was one and it mentioned that several game mechanics are different than usual, although I don't really remember how. Did they Ruin Everything?

Yes, IF it's a USB type A->type C cable. Type C<->type C cables need special chips to control voltage that aren't always built into cheap Chinese cables. If those chips are left out things can go 'splody.
