My goodness!
Is there, like, an established Puyo Pop canon? I assume the Tetris-themed characters are original, but the Puyo guys seem to have a pre-existing storyline. It's not a huge issue or anything, I'm just curious.

Mega Party Games isn't my absolute favorite GCN game, but it's definitely in the top five or ten. God, that console had some choice multiplayer selections. If they just make a Smooth Moves 2 for the Switch, between that, Puyo Puyo Tetris, and MK8DX, I'll never have to play another video game again.

So I decided to try out another sort of Joycon grip, since the Surge ones are good, but lacking a bit on the shoulder buttons.

So I got these.



They're way wider, which may be nice for some people, but the shoulder buttons (the thing I liked the look of) are really inaccurate. They're generic, so will fit both Joycons, but the shoulder buttons on the left one are really bad. I can't say I recommend them. On the bright side, I got a refund, so maybe I can tinker with them a little to improve them.

Anyone have any experience with the other grips kicking around? I just ordered a set of these and they get good reviews on YouTube, so I'll throw up a post once I try them out.

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
I haven't docked my Switch for more than like twenty minutes and I've played through two full charges just loving around in Zelda. What a weird new format for the franchise. It's a great time.

Someone please convince me to get MK8D despite my only playing a couple hours of MK8 on my Wii U. I used to play Sonic sperg racing with my old coworkers, and maybe I'd play this with my current team? I'm not as sold as I was on Puyo as a multiplayer game.

Why would you buy something with such bad reviews when there are similar ~5 star products with many more reviews?

if you're already playing switch as a handheld a lot, Mario Kart 8 basically shows you what nintendo are going for with the "multiplayer anywhere" thing. the joycons actually work great for it, the game looks stellar, it's immediate and fun. if you don't like MK8 as a base game it won't change your opinion, probably, but to me it really works as a perfect "proof of concept" for gang multiplayer times

Puyo Puyo Tetris has a free demo with a pretty decent selection of content (two game modes, with single and full 4-player multiplayer for both).

Mario Kart is definitely worth it if you didn't play that much on Wii U. It's my favorite racing game ever and is always a joy whenever I play it even after countless hours playing it on Wii U and now Switch. There's a poo poo ton of content and being able to play two player in table top mode owns.

Tried out Mario Kart online for the first time today and it was overall a pretty pleasant experience. I was fully prepared to be savaged but the matchmaking seems pretty good.

I think that depends on what state your in. I know when I lived in Colorado there was no tax on Wii U eShop purchases but when I moved back to Texas they were taxed again. (This was a few years ago so things could have changed)
