Tell her to git gud

Auto steer + auto accelerate on 50cc can occasionally win races on its own, iirc. A 6yr old should be fine.

back when bitterblack isle was released I made up several lore blurbs for its enemies that the wiki treated like they were legitimate and I’m unreasonably proud of that

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I've heard hype about Loop Hero, and I'm always down for roguelites. What stands out about this one?

I mean I'll probably buy it regardless, but just curious.

Bitterback Isle? I didn’t, I had kinda had enough by the end of the main game. I’ll go back at some point in the future when I want that combat fix.

Me and you both. I should try the DLC, but I had enough just finishing it.

I played mostly on 50CC at the SNES Mario Kart at roughly the same age. Kids are fine being bad at games and slamming their face into the first level for hours.

Is sinking city OK on the Switch?

As a portable version of the game, it works. The graphics are a bit of a downgrade, but gameplay wise it might even be a step up, especially with the gyro aim.

It's also the only version the developers get their money from, since their publisher kinda screwed them over.

There is also "time trial" mode, where you're the only person on the track, so no shells. And someone wayyyyy upthread suggested playing alongside their kid, but trying to mess up the computers rather than trying to win, to improve the kid's odds.

Just makes me wistful for Double Dash (which my kids still demand to play).

You can just toss the younger kid on the back of the kart and put them on shell and banana duty. It rules.

VS mode > set it to no items and the ai to easy

Note: in this instance "VS" is not an abbreviation for versus

I remember letting the AI lap me so I could get in front of them as a kid. Or run the track backwards to see if I could win that way. Kids will try all sorts of dumb poo poo, let them. If they are having fun it doesn't matter. If you try and force them to "do it right" it becomes frustrating and annoying instead of fun. This is how controllers hit TVs and mommy's head.

Best thing in Mario Kart 64 was runnin' alongside the train down the railroad track instead of following the course.

Or trying to scale the mountain.

My two sons play a game of tag between Mario and Bowser Jr in Bowser's Fury where they go into this one specific coin basement.

Like it's just an empty square room and they will chase each other around forever playing tag. It's amazing.

Growing up, a few buddies and I would play tag on Wave Race 64. We'd just go backwards at the start of the race a little then start. It was really fun with huge waves.

My favorite part is that they're both very "active" players so they get done playing this game of tag and they're entirely out of breath.

Me and my friends would play hide and seek in Mario Kart 64. We’d start a vs race, one person would leave the room or turn around or whatever, the other player would go hide somewhere and then tape a piece of paper over their half of the screen. We’d start a timer to see how long it took to find and tag the other player.

Obviously some maps were better than others for this stupid game.

If you're familiar with Game Builder Garage, my sons have gotten QUITE a bit of playtime just from the tag demo game you're taught how to make.

I was shocked at how much they enjoyed it :stare:

Yeah, IIRC, at least on PS3 there was free DLC for Ultimax that was straight-up just Arena's story mode.

Actually Nintendo haven't said they are announcing anything at all have they? The major Nintendo accounts on Twitter all seem to assume they will announce or show something, so it's funny to me to think there will be nothing from Nintendo at all
