No part of Mario x Rabbids is unfair, in fact most of it is very easy.

Huh how does that work? I know a browser pops up if you try and connect to a router from your Switch with a login page and even though there's no address bar I figured it would be pretty easy to flash router firmware to redirect you to Google or something if you really wanted that for some reason

The 1.0.0 firmware that was shipped couldn't connect to anything requiring a login page. Those with launch firmware consoles would need Japanese Puyo Puyo Tetris to launch the browser. Later firmware could of course just do a redirect for the browser to appear.

Some people really don't click with how Mario×Rabbids works. I watched some streams/played some with my brother and it was absolutely painful.

The way movement works especially seems to throw people off

A lot of this, at least from what I've watched, is people expecting it to work one way because that's how they want it to work and then getting frustrated and mad because they didn't pay attention to the game telling them how it actually works so they have no idea why they can't get it to work how they think it should.

Has anyone bought or played with the insignia portable dock they sell at Best Buy? Looks like a decent portable solution and at a glance it’s got good reviews?

They’ll announce the Switch was too successful and as such they’ve decide to shut down the entire division to focus on the 2DS.

they wasted an incredible idea for Mario Party on WiiU, because Bowser Party Mode would have worked on the Switch as well and probably sold a lot more.

How would it have worked on the Switch without requiring two consoles? Bowser Party is dependent on the gamepad.

No. They straight up said it wasn’t returning along with Miiverse. I’ll really miss it whenever Animal Crossing Switch comes out. I love checking out stranger’s houses on New Leaf.

People ITT seem to think the Switch works identically to the WiiU except you can also bring the tablet part wherever you want.

It comes up weirdly often and makes me think the WiiU probably could have done well if it had been marketed better and had more power for easier ports.

I will never really understand Japan's love of Dragon Quest.

It's a basic solid gameplay formula wrapped up in nicely designed worlds with charming characters and goofy looking monsters, and if you mash A enough you'll eventually win no matter what.

I'm still not sure why they packaged the Wii U with a Wii instead of just letting you sync it with your existing Wii.

The marketing for it, what little there was, made it just seem like an addon to the Wii, so yeah, their marketing really couldn't have been much worse.

It also focused on family fun which is very dumb for selling a cool tech device to early adopters and the reason all the switch launch ads featured single adults

Hello friendos!

I caved and bought a Switch today for £220, and I also got Mario: Throw Hats and Arms.

They’re very cool.

What are other good games to pick up, bearing in mind I have a PS4 and used to have an Xbone so have probably played all the multi platform stuff (although I bought Enter The Gungeon again because that’s a loving cool game)?

Also is it worth buying a Rocket League again to clown on kids or is the community still way better than me (I’m not great).

Thanks!

I think you can choose to just play with Switch people so maybe that’s a better idea before jumping into cross play games.

Also, time spent getting dunked on is time spent getting gud. Pretty solid philosophy to carry both in and out of gaming contexts :shrug:

Idk about y'all but to me rocket league is the closest I've managed to get a video game to emulate the exact thrills and emotions you get from team based sports hijinks in the "real world"

FIFA, Madden, all those games are for sports nerds, not people who want to feel like they're actually playing a sport. I hate them. But rocket league?? Oh man

It's pure and "clean" team based mayhem that reminds me of having impromptu soccer matches with the other idiot kids in the ol neighborhood. Get a group of irl friends in a party, throw in the inevitable trash talking, and you are set for a jolly good time

Gaming is so good these days

Nah totally, 100%. RL is amazing. I've never put so much time into a game (370+ hours on PC, 25+ on Switch now). It's great to watch too, the official esport and the comp scene in general.

Couple general beginner tips for the thread: Turn screen shake off, turn rumble off, make your car look fabulous, play casual matches, do the built-in training regimens sometime. Definitely set up your quickchat preferences beforehand. There is text chat bound to the - button but memorize your dpad quickchats asap.

Oxenfree was good for 5 bucks. The game has strange stutters though and the load times are excrutiating, especially when you're going around collecting the lore.
