Despite being Splatoon themed, it lacks motion controls so you can't actually play Splatoon with it.

That overestimation only really happened to ET, where there were more copies of the game made than there were Atari 2600s

That's just the most infamous one. The fact is, Atari was way too optimistic about the number of copies any given title would sell.
Admittedly, they were in the birth of home console industry, and data analysis was less advanced, so I'll cut them a little slack, but they consistently overproduced relative to market interest.
E.T. wasn't the only game buried in that New Mexico landfill.

Get bashed, platonist!

Can someone explain Bound Bowling in super mario oddyssey to me? I don’t understand how to transition the momentum from my bounces into forward momentum. The other racers seem to just bounce straight forward.

EDIT: Also why is it that sometimes when I do a good bounce there’s a red flash, other times a yellow flash?

This specific salmon run kind of sucks, don't take it personally. I've put maybe 20 hours into Salmon Run alone and this is one of my least favorite weapon/map combos.

I was running into the same issue while playing Soul Melter. The solution is to take control of Chef Kawasaki and do the potluck move yourself.

If you honestly want to cheese the arena the answer is to use spider and hide like a filthy coward while your team does everything. It's slow painful and will make you hate the game but it works

So, I've got a NAT type D on my Switch. I've tried following official Ninty instructions, but it didn't work. Most guides I find assume that I know how all this technical crap works, which I really don't (and I didn't have that problem before on any console). Are there any simple things I should start with, like making my IP static or buying a new modem or something?

Atelier is really relaxing and girly/cute so far, but just a warning, it's one of those games that comes with like a two hour tutorial. If you're like me and haven't played the series before, try and stick it out until about Chapter 3, that's when the game opened up for me. Once you get the Outskirts map and you unlock the atelier ranking system, it gets a lot more fun.

I'm not an anime fan, although I do like games like this and Recettear, Harvest Moon, etc., so that might factor into my opinion here, but I'd say the dialogue and story is pretty bog standard so far. I dont really care about any of the characters yet. Also your dad needs Adderall and therapy

I wish they'd make a new Diddy Kong Racing, the original was fantastic and I feel like it would benefit from today's technology big time. The characters in that game were awesome and had a ton of personality - Conker, Banjo and Tiptup. I don't know if it'll ever happen though :(

The best way to cheese the Soul Melter arena is actually... play as the Stone and just sit there as a statue while your team does everything. You’ll be completely invincible as stone. Your biggest task will be to revive your fallen party members, which will happen a lot. That’s when you’re at risk of taking damage. Also, this will make fights take enough time that you’ll be able to see the full move sets of each boss.

Be sure to bring the painter chick with you too, as her combo move with Stone is actually really powerful and got me quite a few killing blows. The other two companions I used were Dedede and R,K,&C.

I would recommend this (or something similar) if you are going to be using the joycons as a two/four player thing: https://www.amazon.com/Controller-J...ontroller&psc=1

It's basic, but it works well and makes the joycons more of a standard controller (more comfortable to hold)

I can't really recommend a quality one as the one we bought is a good-enough Amazon Basics garbage tier model, but if you're planning to play in tabletop mode at length, get a little stand that lets you plug the power in. The Switch's USB port is inaccessible when your using the built in kick.

This is the one I have and it works great! Highly recommend.

Also, on a side note, I tried licking one of the Nintendo Switch cartridges last night, and good lord, people weren't lying - it tastes awful. The bittering agent on the cartridge stuck around for like 15-20 minutes afterwards, and its absolutely cringe-worthy.
