Awake and unreal, off to nowhere

a.lo posted:

I took my Switch to a Honda service center yesterday to get my 2016 Honda Civic an oil change and whatever and I brought along my Switch. I was playing around Mario Kart when a girl (and I guess her boyfriend) was wondering what I was playing. I told her that I was playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe but I was also going back and forth with Zelda. She seemed interested enough that you basically take something as gorgeous as Mario Kart on the go. The great thing about the Switch too is that is comes with two controllers. I asked her if she wanted to "Mario Kart" and she nodded. Granted it was not the most comfortable experience but we were both smiling and having a good time (made me think about getting some joycon accessories to make them more comfy) anyways I told her if you ever want to Mario Kart up again I gave her my friend code.

Was her boyfriend cute? Did he get in on the action or was he the kind of guy who just likes to watch his gf have fun?

Anyone thinking of picking up Minecraft on the switch? I am one of the few people who have never actually played it and I thought this might be a good entry point for a noob.

i haven't bought a copy since the original on PC so i probably will, just for more switch games to play.

Rollers, brushes, and sloshers (buckets) all have fairly big arcs and can be devastating in close quarters.

Does this poo poo have a virtual console?

Being able to play Super Mario 64 and F-Zero X at the rooftop parties I go to is a strong selling point for me.

NEOGEO stuff is all there is right now. We'll probably get a nintendo VC announcement at E3.

Is anyone else playing Graceful Explosion Machine? I wanted to take a break from Mario Kart and it seemed fun. It's kind of fun, but I feel like either I am missing something or it is missing something to go to the next level. It feels like there's not a lot going on too much of the time which in a shooter is weird.

It definitely picks up, also once you beat the worlds it unlocks a harder warp level and a score attack where you go through all the levels in succession until you die or hit the end.

Half way there.

Dear Video Games, don't lock the thread at 1000 pages or my semen will never be free.

Dear Switch thread, my left joy con has the signal issue and my pro controller has the d pad issue and I'm stuck in a third world country for 2 more months with no way of servicing them. I don't know what I did wrong in life but I don't deserve this

I like the turbo color on the boots. Does this have "on fire"?

Is there a "boomshakalaka" announcer?

Reminder the Switch version doesn't have online at launch.

“To me, without an online component, this is a half-assed game,” Saber president Matthew Karch told Polygon earlier this week. “I wouldn’t want to release this game without an online component.” Now, the Saber spokesperson said that at the time of that meeting, Karch was unaware of the fact that some online features would be missing at launch.
https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/5/15549840/nba-playgrounds-switch-online-play-missing-features

The company making this game also worked on Halo Master Chief Collection, a game that still isn't fixed. I want this game to be awesome but am waiting to buy it until after it's complete. Don't reward third party devs for treating the Switch like a second class console. Also hidden in this game is text that says they can add micro transactions in the future.

actually vol 3 was not an ace, at least on gamecube in my experience. it might also be a result of the "street" branding dying off because everything but NBA Street and maybe one of the NFL street games sucked. also EA Sports BIG no longer exists :rip:

I'm not even sure who owns it. Midway is defunct, so is Acclaim.

Is it Warner Bros?
