Ask me about Proposition 305

I learned the trick to defeating blue shells back in Double Dash on GameCube.

The trick is to be so loving far ahead that a blue shell doesn't loving matter.

My friends hated playing with me.

Double dash was real good on the cube, last good handheld one was Mario Kart DS,
Sonic team racing has been ok with the kids. It's not nearly as good as transformed, but we are all digging it so far.

I never actually played double cash, don’t @ me. But lol when the DS mario kart is better than the wii version. Def my fav one having not played DD

Sonic Team Racing is cool, this is a new one? Why didn’t they just port the good one everyone loved

Its the one that came out in late may or early july. It's perfectly adequate, it's no Mario kart killer, but it's fun with the kids. Not sure if it's worth purchasing to play solo or not, but probably worth a night from Redbox at least. The theme song is :krad:

btw i got all of these for pretty decent prices thanks to the eshop deals. they do a really decent job of swapping around all the third party games and its worth using the wishlist to keep an eye each week for stuff randomly on sale for 50 or 70%

nintendo stuff never goes on sale ever though and I'll be buying the vouchers for links awakening for sure

The biggest trick to Mario Kart is just remembering that all of the items are a gimmick, and the only guaranteed way to be able to go faster than everyone else is to always be drifting and boosting

Bomber Crew is awesome, but frustratingly hard. Wish there was a function to lock someone at a station, I keep accidentally clicking the pilot and moving him.

Also: Had a pilot execute a corkscrew and crash into the ground :smith:

There should be a lock option. I remember it being on PC, not sure if it's on the Switch port (that I have admittedly only put 30 minutes into).

I picked up the deluxe edition of Starlink on the Switch when it was like $30 or so, and it included all of the stuff you'd normally have to buy the toys for. Given that, it's a decent little Starfox game, but only under those conditions.

Edit: :stare: Night Trap is on the Switch and is only $6?!

The new Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a super laid back, simple action rpg with cool building elements thrown in. All the classic Dragon Quest monsters are there and you collect resources and build things in a style similar to minecraft. Despite the block aesthetic and building similarities, this game has a fully fleshed out story and is much less open world in that you basically go from quest to quest to develop islands and rescue people and gather resources to bring back to your home island. You then build up poo poo on your home island in whatever way you see fit.

I've got like15 hours in the game so far and am having a blast.

John Wick’s dog was also named Daisy. This makes that name the most-avenged pet name ever.

Ps you counter the blue shell by keeping some poor scrub near you, and dropping to second right before it hits them instead. Worked fine for me on 64 and Doubledash, but I haven’t played one since then :corsair:

This doesn't work in 8. It goes after whoever was in first when it was shot.
