I don’t own a Switch yet, but when my brother visited a few weeks ago he showed me Fast RMX and I had a lot of fun with it. When my Eeveechu Switch shows up later in November, I plan to pick it up.

The game is very much F-Zero inspired. Good soundtrack, flashy graphics, and fast pacing that still manages to be controllable somehow. On the beginner circuit that I played, none of the tracks had any of the verticality that I remember from F-Zero X, but it could just be that later tracks get more creative. Still planning to pick it up regardless.

You're just unlucky I guess. All electronics (except the early 360, lol) have a small percentage of deaths. To put it into perspective, back when I was a kid my NES blew a fuse and had to be sent in for repairs.
Since your Switch is under warranty it'll be a piece of piss to get it fixed.

Bowsette (and by extension the whole crown thing) is popular because it provides a built in narrative hook. There's a provided reason for the transformation and that can be built on or not as the artist desires.

E: I should say ALSO popular, what cool guy said is also true.

This is probably the best thing to come of the Super Crown. It allowed a lot of artists I've never seen or heard of to get some well-deserved spotlight, and it renewed some artists I follow who seem to have been on the decline with their output.

I recall people talking about it having utterly terrible performance on Switch. And if a turn-based RPG has people complaining about the performance, it must be bad.

Calling Bowsette a porn fad is being super dishonest and disingenuous as a aside and comes off as insecure tbh. It's just a normal rear end fad/art meme. It is pretty funny seeing manga and anime artists get in on it for whatever reason.

I think it was already starting to slow down. The fact that she was almost canon is what revived it. 2 Weeks is being pretty generous.

On a more game related note what are the odds that what little online Mario Party is going to have will run alright. There's so many games in the past that hinge on perfect inputs to do well that I kinda wonder how it'll handle.

If its anything like every other game in the franchise it wont matter because at the end some fucker will randomly get assigned the win.

Well it is just the minigames and popular ones usually end without ties or anything :v:. Booksquirm comes to mind.

I doubt many people will play something like bumper balls that always end in a tie.

Yeah I put a good few hours into it, mostly to see if it would improve or if I could get used to the performance. It didn't, I couldn't.

No game breaking bugs, just really lovely performance that made it a slog to play more than anything.
