Anyone else still call tetriminos "tetrads"? That's what they called them in Nintendo Power's Howard and Nester Tetris guide. It's less syllables and sounds better, dammit.

Edit: Next time you rewrite a post, delete the original. Durrr...

Until this game, I actually always thought it was "tetrominoes," like, rhymes with dominoes.

Also, I thought tetrad was the name of each individual block that makes one up. Like, "When you clear a line it makes all those tetrads disappear, but leaves the rest of the tetrimino."

So I was at the mall today grabbing a cup of coffee when I decided to play a little game with myself.

You see, I very badly want a Nintendo Switch, but I really, really shouldn't be spending the money. I can, of course, afford to, but I'm trying to have this credit card paid in full before the interest kicks in in January. It wouldn't be an incredible burden, but it would uptick my monthly payments.

But, that being the case, I figured I'd make a declaration. It's 7 o'clock on a Wednesday. I have in no way planned this. Made no calls ahead. I'm going to walk into Gamestop and ask if they have any. If they say yes, I'll buy it. But there is simply no way they'll have one...

I have never before felt this bizarre mix of elation and annoyance.

Japan just got some isometric racing Neo Geo game called Overtop, so I assume that's the one we're getting.

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
Overtop drops in Europe tomorrow definitely so I'd be surprised if the US Switch doesn't get it too.

If you like those old school overhead racing games at all Overtop can be pretty addictive, but if not it might be a skip.

Something sad about Overtop is that the soundtrack is kind of lovely and also chintzy sounding for an ADK developed game. They didn't have their usual dream team of Yuka Watanabe/etc. on the music and it shows. :( It's not *BAD* but like if you played anything else by ADK ever it's like, what?

ADK did another similar racing game before Overtop called Thrash Rally/Riding Hero. I'm surprised they didn't put that up first:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne-EJEDHF-E

Some might prefer its look to Overtop. 1996 was when a lot of folks working on the Neo Geo started to double down on the pre-rendered sprite, sometimes to great effecct, sometimes to hideous effect, but it's not a look everyone likes:

Arcade Archives got Samurai Shodown 1 and the PS4 and Switch, and that's a great game, but I'm also hoping SS2 happens soon from them since they just recently completed getting all of SNK's first installments of their series out and just dropped Fatal Fury 2 last week.

So Samurai Shodown 2 seems inevitable in the next couple of months. I just hope they put it on PS4 AND Switch since there's sill a few games exclusive to each and everyone should get a chance to play Samurai Shodown 2 because it rules.

Don't know if this was already mentioned, but if you are in the US and have Amazon Prime, you can pre-order Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch for only $47.99; you see the credit as you go to checkout, price will still be listed as $59.88 but a discount will be applied to the total.

I looked this up just now and while I'm hopeful, it does look maybe a little dicey. The article I came across indicated the developer had not necessarily cleared the idea with Nintendo.

Ideally, I'd like to see Nintendo partner with Valve to offer a Steam streaming app. (Bonus points if the Virtual Console offerings get dumped to Steam in exchange for Valve handling online backend for Nintendo.)

Such a partnership would form a neat bridge between PC, console and handheld platforms and finally bring Nintendo to a market thats not tied to one of their systems. Frankly, it would be beneficial to Nintendo to not have to keep reinventing the wheel with their marketplaces.

Of course business being business, there is zero chance of that happening. When is Nintendo gonna detail the Virtual Console for Switch, anyway?
