There's not power ups, I'm not sure what he's talking about. There's actually less combat than even F-zero, you can't really take out other cars.

The closest thing to a powerup is boost modules to raise your boost meter, the same concept as F-zero's energy pads but split into orbs and scattered around the track instead of being a lane at certain points


oh that ain't bad at all, :hellyeah: lets go!!! been waiting for GX 2.0 since forever..

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
I swear the ai in fast rmx is cheating. I only just managed to beat all the cups on subsonic. That last one i manged earlier and took me a few tries with different ships.

What are you guys doing to fill up your controller collection? When MK8 comes around I'll want to have four for the true multiplayer experience. I now have the joycons and 1 pro controller, so that's three people. I could get another pro controller, another set of joy-cons or just one extra joy-con. Will there be 5-player games at some point? I don't really feel like getting a single joy-con because -symmetry-, but getting two seems overkill as one will always be unused. An advantage is that nobody can complain about getting the 'poo poo' controller.

I usually get second or third in a cup but it unlocks the next cup and vehicle so I don't care.

I once won the cup by placing third in every race.

If you get two, all four players should use a joycon for parity instead of one getting a pro.

If the pro controller had real triggers and a headphone jack I'd still be interested. I'm kinda glad they weren't cuz I'd have spent 70 bucks when I am shocked how much I like the tiny rear end joycons.

No powerups but a mechanic where you need to be of the correct frequency (blue or yellow) to get speed boosts.

But what about if we switch the pro controllers around? Then half the players will always be happy as opposed to everyone being mildly irritated all the time.

(The joy-cons are great but people will always complain about getting the 'small' controller).

its not really effortless, the pro controller is only directinput so you have to go through the hoop of using something like xpadder to get it to work with most modern games, and even then there's drawbacks. i personally think the switch pro controller d-pad is kind of bad and imprecise--while playing zelda i had more than one moment where i would press right to access my weapons and it would read it as me pressing up. i don't know why they made it so you can press the whole thing down.

Same thing happens to me every so often. At first I chalked it up to getting used to the controller but it's an ongoing problem even a month later.

I feel like playing Mario kart on a joycon is going to be uncomfortable. Everyone should have a set in a grip or a pro controller for maximum fun.

I have come to eat crow.

FINALLY managed to get a combo that lagged out BoI.

Dr Fetus + Triple Shot + Double Shot + Quad Shot + Bomberman = You now shoot 24 bomb tears that all explode at the same time with a plus explosion after effect.

The first time after 50+ hours of play I've managed to make it chug. That's a pretty drat good ratio if you ask me :v:

Still wiped on Hush because I only had a single heart going into it :negative:

No warping to report, but I have found that my joycons are already getting a little worn in the bottom corners where they touch the palms. Nothing big, but there's little thin patches where the smoothness visibly changes.

Back when there was that kerfuffle about adhesives wrecking the joycon plastic's coating, I wondered if normal use would cause the same effect more slowly, and it seems the answer might be yes.

For what it's worth, things like Xbox controllers and PS4 controllers tend to get smooth too. No critical issue, just smoothed from use.

Bomberman supports 8 already. So 5 player games are a possibility going forward (especially when we get TG16/PCE on the Virtual Console).

I'm sure it's fine. I use an older Anker and my Switch has not exploded. Although mine isn't USB-C.

Anker is a good company though, and they advertise it for Switch. I really wouldn't worry about it.

you'd think the d-pad would be perfected for every game controller by now but the dualshock 4's is the only one of the current controllers that i think is really great

i believe it just connects over usb. no special drivers, it's just basic directinput and you'd have to use third party software to make it work for most games, and even then you'll get xbox button prompts which will make it really weird since the X, Y, A and B buttons are all in completely different positions than nintendo controllers.
