I actually really want them to announce some Mario DLC because I feel like that's the only way they'll make a good chunk of difficult Mario content. Maybe even do it like Super Luigi U and make a standalone expansion you can buy in a store.

Nope. It does not.

I "finished" BotW today at 60 hours. Decided it was time to fight Ganon and I totally crushed him in my lv4 ancient armor/MS/Hylian shield. Man that last blow to the final form was confusing, I had to look up what the gently caress they wanted me to do. Ugh.

Putting it away for awhile, gonna focus on Splatoon/MK8/Odyssey/Shantae.

I don't think BotW will be a yearly replay like OoT is for me, though I did enjoy it a bunch. Really glad they went back on the crest of hyrule, too (no head version), as I have an embarrassing thing I can't change regarding that.

I think that this is a good end cap to the timeline, whichever one it falls under (Downfall timeline?). With SS being the origin story and this being the end, and with Ganon "giving up his resurrection" to attempt to defeat you. And with a 10,000 year gap, they've given themselves plenty of time to insert more stories. Took the entire game for the triforce to make a loving appearance, too!

I’ve asked multiple times what the official name of the two joycons attached to that black thing with the handles are but no one seems to know so I’m gonna call it the dogcon because it looks like a dog’s face.

Allegedly some of those USB-C breakout boxes do, but mine doesn't. Even with the official adapter.

(For context, BOTW end game stuff)

That's actually a bad/misleading translation, iirc. The intended meaning seems to be that he gave up his current attempt at resurrection to go all out on Link, as opposed to resurrection in general, leaving him the possibility to return later in the timeline. Although I haven't confirmed this for myself.

I don't have RL but I'm pretty sure it does, practically all multiplayer games can do local multiplayer by connecting the Switches directly afaik.

It sounds like the motion controls for Resident Evil: Revelations (both 1 and 2) seem to be amazing and add to the tension. I'd really be interested in picking them up to experience the horror of frantically covering the IR sensor to reload while dodging goo monsters.

No splitscreen multiplayer

Turf Wars - you can get in the same match but there's no guarantee you'll be on the same team
Ranked - solo queue only
League - two or four friends can queue together in the same team. You cannot queue with three friends and fill in the fourth slot with other people online
Salmon Run - up to four friends can get in a lobby, any empty slots can be filled by other people online

You can also run a private match with whatever customizations you want. If you're connecting wirelessly to a friend's Switch without access to WiFi you can run custom matches or do Salmon Run with whatever difficulty you wish.

Depends. When you join a friend's Regular Battle (aka Turf Wars), you're not necessarily in the same team. They're usually mixed teams. If you want to play specifically with your friend on the same team, you need to choose League Battle, which is made available when you reach B- in Ranked Battle. (You can't play coop with your friend in Ranked Battle.) Salmon Run is more lenient and will fill out vacant spots - that is, if it can find workers before the timer runs out.

The quickest way to circumvent this confusion is to choose Private Battle, but you'll need six other "friends" to join your game then.

I already have Revelations 2 on PC but am really tempted to double dip cause I've only heard good stuff beyond the load times being a bit shite. Really enjoyed it the first time around and the raid mode or whatever it's called is a blast.
Also, it has a minigame called Ghosts and Homunculi that stars Barry instead of Arthur so that's good.

In other news, this is a thing. As usual some people are pissing and moaning because Nintendo is selling out. Bitches don't know about the Nintendo Cereal System.
