Went to get my pre-ring done so I can get in and out super fast at Gamestop. At 6pm there was a huge line of people even though the store only has 8 consoles and one dude in a truck was basically doing doughnuts while screaming "I'LL GIVE 100 BUCKS TO WHOEVER GIVES ME THEIR SPOT IN LINE."

Can't wait to go up there in a couple hours again and see if anythings changed!!

When I went into get my stuff they were holding a trivia quiz about Kirby for some loving reason

I walked out of gamestop with a tote bag and a lapel as well as a poster.

Also some dudes at midnight started singing the switch reveal trailer song with the music playing on their cellphones- as they sang people just started staring at them and they got quieter and quieter until they were basically mumbling while their cellphone screamed GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME.

I just got the good ending in Blaster Master Zero and man that's a fine game.

The final boss caught me off guard as it was something I wasn't expecting in a game like this and I loved it :v:

Yeah I'm confused I thought everyone was saying how much smoother poo poo was in the Splatoon 2 testfire then the first game was. Now that someone put something out about tickrate it's was retroactively playing bad?

A good handful of people had it just fine. Others not so much.

At one point I just stopped playing because the lag was getting frustrating and I kept getting hit with weird "DNS Cannot be found" messages that you have to reset the entire system to fix. It's uh, weird?

Also like 50-60% of matches (if not more) were just 3 v 4's. Even in videos I've seen of others playing they wind up in 3v4's more then just full games.

I got all 120 shrines and I don't want to play that game ever again.

Not because it's bad but like, it stopped being a challenge pretty fast and it just kinda turned into me walking around looking for shrines and that's about it. I can't imagine doing a second playthrough or anything because the only modifier I can think of is if I use nothing but twigs and never use powers which... wouldn't really make it harder. Just more tedious.

Cool self own dude. Look, if you're gonna treat an open world game like a spergathon collection challenge you're gonna get fed up, that shouldn't have come as a surprise and/or disappointment.

I'm not entirely sure if I follow your logic.

Like I booted the game up and had a ton of fun for a good while, but due to the lack of enemy variation it got easier and easier to just deal with every challenge the game tossed at me. By the second dungeon I stopped dying entirely and just walked through the rest of the story content while casually exploring around. When it was done I thought "it's fun to explore" so I looked all over and collected the shrines and that was that.

All I was saying is that I don't think I could ever start a new file because after doing all that there's not a lot of enjoyment in it for me, personally. Enemies are easy and none of the dungeons were that exciting outside the final one and with no abilities really gained after the intro zone there wasn't a lot new to toy around with other then goofy physics nonsense..

I'm sorry if you took that as some kind of insult or whatever seems to have gotten you all riled up my dude. It's not even like I was saying it's a bad game or anything.

I'm really excited for that silly Patrol Battlemode.

I wonder if online will throw you into a random battle type or if you can pick which type you want to play. Sounds dumb but worried about the playerbase being split between like... 6 different game modes all at once (it's 6 right?)

Real talk I'm sorry if you think my picture is a spoiler. Pre-release in interviews they were saying "Yeah there's a green tunic in the game, it's just hidden away somewhere" so I didn't think it was that big of a deal because really, I can't imagine being surprised that there's one in the game.

Unless you're talking about the hat in which case my bad, still.

Theres at least something for everyone and lots for the broader-minded gamers. Pretty much every game, save for Voez (don't love rhythm games or Korean music) and Shovel Knight (bought it for Wii U, wasnt able to make much progess) is very much my poo poo.

Haven't bought Blaster Master Zero yet because I'm concerned its a hardcore SNES style game and I'm bad at those (see Shovel Knight) but I probably will eventually.

Blaster Master for me was a game that enjoyed robbing me of all my health for no reason but not killing me so while I only died a couple times it was pretty stressful nonetheless. The worm enemies are seriously poorly designed and made me very mad at video games.

The final level and boss though are all worth the struggle though. It's super good.

I will buy literally the entire series if that's a feature because Metal Slug is amazing. Except the one that doesn't let you play as Tarma. That one sucks.

This is almost certainly an April Fool's joke.

If its not then I am extremely disappointed that Ninendo looked at the Wario property, said "Hmm, what can we do with this?"' and then made a loving Ashley game.

Ugh.

Well it's something that's going on well past April Fools so I'm inclined to believe it's real.

Ashley rules, her theme song rules, and Warioware's art style rules. I hope it's real.

Kinda weird that Mona didn't get a spinoff game, though. Isn't she the main female character in the Warioware games?

She was kind of supposed to be but Japan really loves it's tiny witch girls I guess.

I can't recall where but I'm pretty sure I read that Mona is the least popular female character in the Ware series or something like that.

I have a Isabelle amiibo where she's waving and looking happy. My mother stopped by a couple months ago and handed me the other one. I asked her why she felt the need to buy it and she just said that it was a cute dog and I collected the smash series so v:shobon:v

"Jay, you don't want the cute dog???" was not something I was expecting that evening.

Unrelated but have a lot of people encountered a bugged battery reading? Friend of mine said his switch is charging overnight but constantly says 84% left. When it's down to like 1% it can still go for over a over and a half and it's kinda news to me.

Hey thread, my friends Switch has this weird problem where it says that it's charging but stops at 86% and drains super fast- but when it gets to 5% it can go on for another hour and a half. It's effecting his controllers too from what I understand, just something hosed with the display.

He sent it in like a week and a half ago and just got it back and the problem is still there. Should I tell him to send it in again or is there some solution floating around for this?

I think we're going to need some context here.

In the full game you can make the Puyo's look goofy if you want via the in game shop.

You can make the lil blobs look like sonic and friends, alphabet letters, genesis sprites etc. If a player is colorblind they can probably find a skin that'll make it easier to identify your puyos.
