MY DOODOO IS SPRAYING OUT
I like how I played so much zelda with the joycons that the pro controller felt bad when I first got it. Now it feels good as hell, even better than the Wii U pro controller somehow

Looking into the statutes but at the moment you may be in the clear, though lying about location while not a crime is a moral issue you'll need to deal with on your own time.

I would not buy an eShop Yen card code. You'll overbuy and also pay full price.

[edit] Where are the Settings for this game? Options/Settings, whatever? I'm new to Mario Kart but I know this one supposedly came with auto steering for the kiddies and I felt like I could feel it doing that by default. I want to turn it off...

I hope Kirby continuing to do well will eventually stop the people who always get upset when a new Kirby game gets announced instead of a new F-Zero or Star Tropics or whatever.

Like it's Kirby's fault he keeps getting more games or something. I mean it is, but only because he is the best.

Every character excpet Gold Mario is unlocked from the start. Kart parts, I'm led to believe, are the same as in the original version.

I think it's just a skin for Silver Mario to be honest. It doesn't even get it's own spot on the character select screen.

I've followed all the steps, and in my Order Processing Screen it's stuck. I assume Chase isn't going to let this happen.

It said it could take up to 4 hours to verify. This is not fun.

I actually got an email saying I had to update my payment information, but I just didn't and like a few minutes later I got another email with the code.

Granted, I'm using USAA so I did not expect international stuff to ever be an issue (and it never has before), but just give it a bit and it may resolve itself for you.

I know someone posted about this at one point, but I forgot what the answer was. Is there an official Switch web digital store, similar to how PSN will let you buy something from a website and download it to your console remotely (or at least have it ready to DL later)? If so what's the link?

How do happy meal toys work? Are they random all at once or phased out in stages? My kid would flip for these. Especially since he's gonna come home to MARIO KART.
