A real hellraiser


I say, they have fixed battle MAPS but not battle MODE unless I can do elimination (last man standing) with no time limit.

I don't know much about Nintendo products, but my wife loves Mario games, and I am thinking of getting her a Switch for her birthday.

I read Odyssey isn't coming out until around Christmas, so does anyone know if there are any old Mario games you can get for the switch? Downloadable or something on their e-store?

I'm fine with how it is, at least in regards to playing online. Waiting an entire 12 player match if you got eliminated early would not be fun.

Yep, I thought it would be hype but it makes my hands feel good when I hold it. I find myself playing more now that I have it.

There's some third party joycon grips that angle them to fit better in your hand if I remember correctly.

Also let's be real the joycon grip configuration is way nicer than it has any right to be, really the only configuration I don't find especially comfortable is using half a joycon as a controller, although there's some good third party grips for that.

You could buy a set of red and blue, then you have it all.

But to be honest I like grey better because I'm boring and think the odd color combination is an eyesore even if it does look a bit better in person.

The Joycons are good for games like Blaster Master, but trying to play Zelda on them after using the Pro is a chore

It's serviceable for when I'm traveling, since I don't really like lugging around a pro controller wherever I go, but the grip shell is easy enough to fit into my bag without me worrying I'll mess it up.

Double dash was limited baloons just like 64.

I'm stoked they're bringing back the bombomb mode, and unlimited stock in regular mode isn't a dealbreaker for me, but yeah, i'm crossing my fingers for decent customization options ala smash.

For some reason all I remember out of Double Dash was the Bombomb mode and I thought a mode with unlimited balloons but I must be getting that confused with the Wii version.

Decent customization options would own, let's hope for it.

You must have sweet chores in your house. I've had no problems playing Zelda with the joy cons attached to the screen or joy con dock that came with the system.

I'd argue the opposite since Zelda doesn't need a dpad while a 2D platformer benefits from one.

The directional buttons on the left joy con aren't as bad for that as I thought though. They work surprisingly well for Bomberman but I'd still prefer a real dpad.

Does the new Battle Mode actually have online play? They haven't mentioned that in any of its promotional material so I'm wondering if that's just a local thing

My biggest regret is buying a grey switch instead of a neon.

Ya, I regretted it at first. Though I got a set of the red joycons and have a gray Left and red Right joycon on my Switch, and keep the other two in those mini controller grips for some Snipperclip (and future mario kart) action. Kinda like my gray/red look.

I believe it will have some ad hoc online play until they roll out the official online, at least I thought I read that somewhere. May just be random races like Fast RMX did or like the Splatoon 2 test, and maybe the ability to create rooms for friends once official online is available?

i like the joycons and its the only controller i've played with all month. i tried booting up dark souls 3 on pc the other day using my 360 wireless pad and holy loving poo poo it was super weird. i couldnt believe how huge the sticks where and my brain couldn't process how i'd managed to use the pad in the past. joycons4ever.

Spent most of the week looking for a switch, 4 targets, a best buy, Toys R us, and a couple gamestops no luck...

Today went to a 5th target store which online listed the switch as "limited stock". Got there just shortly after they opened, no switches in the display case but lady said she had em in the back.

Score! Of course I got called into work the next few days😭

Hamster please fix the Neo Geo Audio. Thank you.

Neo Geo is loaded with games that are perfect for Switch's portable multiplayer, though. Twinkle Star Sprites, Puzzle Bobble, Samurai Shodown, etc.

Maybe they're still patching it but as of when I bought Turf Masters the audio is on a significant delay. It's bad enough that I have to play with the sound muted because it's disorienting.

I called them and managed to cancel my order before I got charged just because I trust amazon to be faster and more reliable. Let me know how long it will take to get to you or if you even get it at all.

My hype for that died when I remembered you'd need to still be connected to the internet to play. I still have 'em all on steam so I don't really see a need to buy it again on the switch.
