You know what else is fun? Reading, and community service. You sound reconsider your priorities.

Community service isn't fun. It's hard, rewarding work and you have to deal with terrible people to get anything done.

This could get emotional...


Has anyone posted this yet, it's the top review on UK Amazon for the switch.

quote:

My name is Luke, I am a time traveller from the year 2020. In 2017 Nintendo launched their new console: the Nintendo switch… one month later, in a shock announcement, Sega announced the Dreamcast 2. The release of the “Dreamiercast” created a rift right through the gaming community, thus beginning the second Nintendo vs Sega war….

Everyone picked a side. It was calm in the beginning, just the usual Facebook keyboard battles… “Mario is just a fat plumber who can’t run fast”…”Sonic can’t even fix a boiler”… admittedly these arguments were not the most creative…

Sadly, things quickly escalated into violence in the streets. Over the last 3 years I’ve lost many… too many to count. I was in my underground bunker, hoping that the roof would continue to hold through the next round of bombings. I was alone… I couldn’t let anyone else see my dark secret… a secret I was too scared to reveal… I owned both consoles. I thought it was logical, that way I could play all the best games, surely I could be on both sides right?

I wasn’t the only one. Phil owned both too, he shouted about it to everyone, claiming he’d found enlightenment. Instead of becoming the saviour he believed himself to be, he became the enemy to both sides, and they (literally) ripped him apart in the streets.

I knew I had to do something… to find a way to save everyone. The only way was to go back in time and stop the Dreamiercast from ever launching. It was too late for the switch, Nintendo would just do something else, but it wouldn’t take much to stop Sega and convince them they should stay as software developers.

Using components from both consoles I created a time machine. I travelled back to 2015 and went straight to Sega with a new idea- Sonic Mania. The idea was so genius that they immediately abandoned project Dreamiercast and put all their resources into Sonic Mania. The war was prevented, I saved everyone.

Sadly, as the Dreamiercast no longer exists in your future, my time machine has ceased to exist also, meaning I have been trapped in your time ever since.

I thought I was the only one… until now. Seeing these 70+ reviews for the Nintendo switch has made me realise that there must have been others who have also tried the console and then travelled back in time and left a review of what it was like. To you all I say- hello my brothers, I am sure you fought well. Together we will help shape a more united future.

Anyway, I’ve gone off track from my review… the Nintendo switch was a fun console - 3/5.

Convincing schizophrenic and depressive homeless people to get free medical treatment was the toughest regular community work I did. Satisfying as hell. Not sure community service has to to do with the Nintendo Switch though. Are they making a game about that?

You're good people, bloodychill.

Anyway, I just want to point out, that the time between the presentation and the Switch launch is less than the time between the initial reveal and the presentation. We're in the home stretch, get hyped.

Same, I have to get through a day of work, then have a football match, then have to go home and sleep.

I'll probably just get up a bit early for work and watch it, rather than getting up at 4am. Do we know how long it is?

4am is when I have to get up for work, so I'll be spending the first hour trying to check for updates while no one is looking.

I thought I read that they'd be going straight from the presentation to live Treehouse gameplay. Which would be great.

when you get your switch are you gonna press the 'make anime real' button first, or press the 'full length AAA waluigi game' first?

With the 32 basic, 16 DLC and 16 New this would be 64 tracks, easily the most of any MK game ever.

Also, she's claiming that the port will have a new battle mode, which probably means an actual battle mode unlike the lovely one they tacked on.

THE HELL IS WITH THIS ASS!?





The presentation opens. A hunched figure in a concealing black robe lurches to the podium. There's a brief pause, then the lights go out and the dark figure begins to cackle. A suseruss of anxious murmurs spreads through the crowd.

"Oh god," a man cries. "It's not Nintendo Switch, it's Nintendo's witch!"

A blaze of fire lights the auditorium in which throws back her Hood. She points at the man in the crowd and he is instantly turned into a Toad. The doors to the room lock as the Nintendo Witches broom appears in front of her. She grabs on and takes flight. Green smoke and orange fire pop and flare. Outside of the room it's hard to hear the screams, but YouTube captures all of this pretty well. 3.5/5
