Bought a Switch carrying case the other day and some stranger saw it and asked, "Hey, got your Switch in there?" Annoyed I simply told her no, I had just bought the case and that my Switch was at home at the moment. She then went on to say that she had a Switch and was enjoying it. I nodded my head in agreement and with the hope of buying this case I can take it with me more often. Later on she suggested that we ever meet again we should both bring our Switches. I simply said, "that would be okay" and exited the bus. That was almost a month ago and I have not seen that girl since.

I am loving stoked to get back into MK8 with 200cc out of the box. It really turns silly racing game into a :holymoley: I have to actually race now while dodging silly crap :D

Seriously 200cc MK is insane in the best way.

I bought Mario Kart 8 on release as well as all of its DLC and I traded it in so I could buy the Switch version when it comes out.

nerdy highschool rubix cube club teens will be extremely hype for this. they might even solve it in front of their backs just to see its cool art this time even though they can do it behind their backs cause they memorized the algorithm

They wouldn't because this cube will be garbage and won't compare to the WeiLong GTS Air or whatever speedcube they have. Welp, trap sprung I guess.

Saw somebody wondering how well MK8DX ran on an actual Switch, Nintendo Life UK attended a Nintendo event - claims it runs at a solid 60 fps even in two player split screen, and looks better than the Wii U game. Not sure howmcredible they are as I usually just go there for Thursday download summaries.

I'd be surprised otherwise. MK8 ever slowed down it did so infrequently I don't recall it, and I played a far amount of online since my inner 12yo was never so happy.

:siren: Ausgoons - It looks like EBGames is now stocking the Official Nintendo Switch Case - $30 :siren:

Be forewarned that it looks like it's a soft-case and will not protect from bends, etc.

I grabbed a hard-case from JB HiFi for the same price and I'm pretty happy with it.

I'm kinda on the fence on rebuying MK8, but getting the chance to school small children on 200c day one is very appealing.

When I played Mario Kart at a switch preview event it seemed to run smoothly, but I was playing handheld and I am not the most observent person.

To bus dude, you make me sad, I would love a real life switch friend! Think of splatoon handheld multi player...

hey how come botw's lock on system is less functional than the one in oot in terms of quickly switching enemies while also choosing to retain the lack of a dodge when outside of lock on?

it kinda sucks to lose dodge when not locked on in botw imo

yeah i really wish there was dodging outside of lock-on. the lock-on was more of a hindrance than a help to me most of the time

Has there been any confirmation from reputable sources on how MK8 runs on actual Switch?

I see a lot of people saying poo poo like "well since it ran flawlessly on Wii-U etc etc..." and I mean, sure, common logic states we can infer...

But folks have been thrown for a loop before.


Here's hoping, though!

Digital foundry did an analysis of the January footage and apparently it runs at a rock solid 1080p/60, as opposed to almost smooth 720p/60 on the WiiU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r2-nVHZ_bQ

I hope Nintendo doesn't hoard its optimization tricks, if they can get this running on 1080p/60 a lot of pretty games should be able to do it as well

Thanks for the headsup on this. It's the case I was chasing before I ordered my Butterfox.

Speaking of my Butterfox case, that Australia Post ShopMate service has received it from Amazon and has resent it on to me. I'll post photos and give impressions once it arrives next week hopefully.

i can tell immediately but i can acclimate to it as long as it's a steady 30 or 60. if the framerate is uneven it kinda drives me nuts deep down

Any word on Skyrim? I was getting the itch to play on the PC again, but if it's coming to Switch at a decent price, I may wait. But I'm not dropping $60 for it.

Thanks, that's too long to wait and way too much to pay again. The most I was willing was $30-$40 and only cause it's portable Skyrim on my Switch.

Well it might be $40. I assume it will cost the same as the other ones that recently came out but I have no idea how much those actually were.
