Didn't know about that. I guess it's more of a Torment* thing though?

Honestly another reason for me is that I just didn't really like them a lot :v: Also that I prefer running around alone but I guess if I'm gonna be a necromancer and have dozens of skeletons, what's one more skeleton (with some extra bits)

Does anyone know if there exists some kind of streaming station or channel or whatever that streams Animal Crossing time-of-day music 24/7, in sync with an actual real world clock? I know there's a Youtube playlist but Youtube no longer autoplays videos if the tab is in the background, and since that's normally my preferred behavior for the site, I don't want to change it just for this.

Someone earlier mentioned not liking the Nadir ship in Starlink because of its asymmetry, kinda funny because that's exactly why I like it and bought the physical model. While the rest of the ships are kinda generic, it really goes full hog on the scarred and patched up pirate ship look.

It ran well on the Wii U, so I'd say the odds are good.

Arcade Archives Urban Champion - $7.99 / £6.29 / €6.99
Digital - [NA] [EU]
The mean streets have a new force to deal with: you! Don't let the big, bad bully of the neighborhood push you around! Find out if you have what it takes to make it on the rough city streets against the toughest brawlers around. Use a combination of punches to knock your opponent backward into an open manhole before time expires. If you fall, a shower of confetti will celebrate your enemy's victory - leaving you with your wounded pride. Watch out for angry neighbors who will attempt to drop flowerpots on your head. The police will also make an occasional appearance to temporarily break up the fight - or to make an arrest if time runs out. Spar against a computer bully or a friend and prove your worth in becoming the Urban Champion!

I'm excited. :geno:

Its extremely chill but thats because there isnt really much pushing you forward or penalties. The shop basically just runs itself and never changes or require any real work and the dungeons can be done as much as you please and arent hard, nor does getting kicked out of one carry any real penalty. The story doesnt exist until the ending.

Re: Star Allies: I picked it up a few weeks ago without really know the extent of the content so I'd have some fun and casual to co-op. Was a little surprised at how brief it felt, but it's rad they're adding more.

Question about the final boss: I noticed in co-op if we synchronized our shots we'd get a laser beam. Do you just get it automatically while playing solo with ai, or is it purely a bonus for actually playing with someone else?

I'm trying to think of a worse Black Box NES game, and I can't. I really can't. You could make the argument for Soccer or Baseball, but I really feel that there's more going on there than with Urban Champion.

I hate that game so much, and like most kids who had an NES growing up, I played a poo poo-ton of it, because I was dumb and easily amused :negative:

I got Mario Party for $48 and my Joy Cons for $62. So I paid a $10 premium to get the game early I guess.

It's a bonus. Otherwise the other players wouldn't have anything much to do in that fight.

Very very good. Lots of love and effort put into them.

If you are used to the actual arcade machines, there is some minor input lag that you will notice. Otherwise, they're pretty much arcade perfect.

Do not use anything but the official Nintendo charger with the Dock. Non-official chargers are fine if you're plugging them into the tablet itself to charge, just get a recognizable brand with good reviews like Anker.

The Kingdom of Dryden has an incredible history thanks to the story of a Phoenix facing down enemies generations ago; now, buoyed by that legacy, King Harold continually seeks conflict. Follow the tale of a band of mercenaries, working for coin but then challenged to consider whether their actions, and those of King Harold, are what is best for the land. What follows is a story of war, betrayal, magical lore and redemption for a nation! A tactical RPG in the finest traditions of the genre, Mercenaries Wings: The False Phoenix requires you to carefully utilise varied units and their abilities. Set Leaders to change the flow of battle, level up your units, change classes, manage equipment and make the key choices that will be the difference between victory and defeat!

World of Final Fantasy Maxima - $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 (Nov 6)
Digital - [NA] [EU]
WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY comes to Nintendo Switch as the powered-up FINAL FANTASY Maxima! Beloved characters from FF lore (Champions) and a multitude of capturable monsters (Mirages) appear in this fun and exciting adventure. This new and enhanced version of WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY also features the Avatar Change system, which allows the protagonists, Reynn and Lann, to fight as Champions. Fight your way through exhilarating battles as legendary FINAL FANTASY heroes!

Mercenaries story was worth $12, so I will probably spring $12 on this as well.

If you're so inclined, the Japanese eShop now has a preorder up for the Senran Kagura pinball game. It's a full price release unlike Reflexions. There's a 10% discount for preorders. 4800 yen for the base version.

If you're taking the system on the go in portable mode, you can use a USB charger on the system itself. That's fine whether you're using the official charger or a (reputable) USB or AC charger.

You just shouldn't connect any other type of charger to the dock itself, due to the power requirements of docked mode.
