If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Man watching some of those matches from the ARMS tournament. I was hoping getting it at release would give me an even playing field with everyone else as a new fighting game but these people are pulling off poo poo I can't even keep track of after just two play sessions. This must be what being Krillen is like in Dragon Ball Z

Worse; Yamcha :negative:

I love at one point in DBZ they're doing another world's strongest and Yamcha and Tien just like don't even show up. And then Krillin and Gohan are like "hey guys, what's up?" and they're like "well you're all loving super saiyan now so there's no point..."

Yeah pretty much. Every 4 shrines you do you can either increase health or stamina. And the best way to make money is selling ores or cooking foods and selling those.

That doesn't make me feel any better at all. Git gud, and by gud I of course mean better.

My having to wait means that I'll get MK8 during one of my busiest weeks of the year, so I might not get to play it very much until the weekend. However, I'm hoping that I can just sneak in a track or two here and there while I wait for things to render or calculate and such. That sleep feature is loving amazing.

I think the one they shipped with the special edition of Zelda is the best so far. It has a divider to protect the screen, 12 game card slots, an entire pouch for holding poo poo, and it's decently sized. I got the Nintendo one since I really wanted a slim yet protective one. I has 6 game card slots, a divider that only covers the screen, but no pouch for anything.

It's virtually sold out everywhere, but I'd recommend calling up local Gamestops to see if they have it.

Got my switch yesterday. I love it. Zelda makes me feel like a kid again.

However, it isn't recognizing ANY wireless connections. I live in a large complex with tons of them and nothing shows up. I've tried entering my information manually, but that isn't working either.

Anyone solve a similar issue? I've tried restarting the switch multiple times.

Butterfox or RDS Industries for slim hard cases, RDS Industries Deluxe for a bigger case that can carry the dock and a controller etc.

Like a proper reset?

Hold down the power button until a menu comes up
Go to 'Power Options' and select Shutdown
Start the Switch up again and report back in.

I just picked up this Anleo case and it seems pretty solid. I wanted something less bulky for when I just wanted to take the Switch with me without all the extra junk. Has room for a few games and maybe a cable.

The Zelda one and it's relatives are really bulky in comparison, but they do hold a lot more. When I took the Switch with me to a friend's place, I had my extra joycons in the Surge grips and still had room for more stuff in there.

stop staring at me

Does anyone have the link to start a Switch repair? Specifically for the left joycon? I'm looking at the official link and it says I need to go through the troubleshooting steps before it'll take me to repairs, but I don't see any troubleshooting steps anywhere. Unless they're talking about the set of links up top, which just gives you a list of individual support articles. Do I have to just call them?

Edit: My problem is that the left joycon that came with the console no longer recognizes being attached to the console. The right one works fine. The other set of joycons I got works fine. I may also be having a bit of the wireless issues everyone's reported, but it hasn't been relevant most of the time.

The PDP case was horrible garbage that I had to return. Thankfully the store just got a bunch of HORI cases which is exactly what I wanted it. It's a tiny bit more bulky but rugged enough to survive a drop. Plus it looks nice.

I'm personally a little amused that the standalone mis-matched colour set of Joycons is Red/Blue instead of Blue/Red, because Nintendo know exactly who is going to buy them.

Myself, for one.

Almost as if they planned it that way so people could have a complete set of both.

Oh I know that's why it exists, its just a dumb thing that amuses me. Usually the standalone sets for those sorts of mismatched pairs are just the same as the bundled version rather than the complementary pairing.

Sorry, guy.
I fully accept that it may be my big hands, but Mario Kart on JoyCons is terrible for me. Cramp city. Thankfully, handheld is decent and Joycon is great.

The main issue being that getting my fingers to touch the shoulder buttons is just... I feel like I'm trying to get crab meat out of the world's tiniest crab...

:canada:
So I was at my brother's playing MK8D with him and his kids, and holy loving poo poo- when did the A.I. get so spitefully aggressive at loving the players?

My last experiences with the franchise was MK, MK64, MK-GBA, and MKDS, and I swear the game never hate hosed me like this game does on the higher difficulties.

Like, not even the other human players, but the A.I. itself.
