Speaking of sales, I hear the game is 83% off on the eShop until tomorrow. The DLC too, if you get the 'bundle'.

I missed this (got a Switch as a vaccine treat, which happened just after the sale ended) but the bundle is still 19.99 on the eshop. It's not 14 bucks but it's better than 80 (main game plus DLC). It's a shame main-brand titles never go on sale, with the shortages even the resale market is pretty pricey.

Honestly, you can get alot worse games for a lot more. This is pretty fun, and I highly recommend it at full price. Go get it.

Not exactly this LP, but I'm part of the latest round of SA survivor, and they wanted a one shot, so Misty and I got drunk and did some smash bros here

Of all the ones we've recorded so far, this has been my favourite to do, cause together we played the co-op tutorial

No, except the joy of having spent time with a loved one or good friend, solving the challenges together.


But yeah, I was hoping it would but it didn't. Oh well, c'est la vie.

Yes and no. So basically what was shown was just the tutorial. The first one should only have the ones unlocked in the first level but since we pushed it to midway through world 2 we are getting a new character which I will use co-op as an excuse to show off.

Toad was a lovable screw up when he ran off to adventure without thinking of the consequences. Then he became an rear end in a top hat when he blamed Toadette.

Now? He set up an escort quest. gently caress YOU TOAD

Bounce and Honey seem to be the standout status effects so far.

Do you get something like Lightning Reflexes? Cause oof that enemy overwatch looks rough.

Honey is really good, especially against smashers and such. But my personal favorite is Ink cause it's prevents attacks entirely.


Also ha ha no. Your options are a. Take it in the chun, b. Use a sentry which means you don't get a regular attack or c. You use your shield ability if you have one and hope to tank it.

It is kinda bullshit and it trips me up.

Also speaking of bullshit, lessons learned from my wife and I recording this week. After every co-op mission it kicks you out instead of letting you continue the campaign. So you have to go back in and re-select the campaign, and pick the next mission in it. So, yeah, those will be fun videos ha.

Escorting toad wouldn't be nearly so bad if he was actually allowed to do fun things. As it is, he can move a short distance and can't even bounce jump or anything. You don't get any enjoyment over controlling his actions so he's just an obnoxious addition rather than a fun challenge.

Make toad smash enemies with the ice block

Commander Keene
Dec 21, 2016

Faster than the others



The ice block could be the actual escort target, and Toad is just a temporary party member carrying it, though anybody else can if he gets knocked out during the stage. The ice block has its own health bar and can be targeted by enemies, and also the character can make a melee attack that deals damage to both the enemy and the block. If the block's HP hits zero, Rabbid Mario dies from the Sub-Zero Freeze & Shatter effect and you fail the mission.

See all those are better than what we got.


Even if Toad had just two more movement points it would be fine. As well the level design for them is terrible. Like the first one, having moved Toad as far as I could each turn, I ended up one space short.


Why?


Why make us play another turn essentially of just moving toad one single square?

I will admit that if I hadn't enjoyed the rest of the game so much I woulda put it down at this point.

I think the idea there was to give you some wiggle room to put toad in cover so you didn't have to use his full movement towards the goal every turn. Except his movement is so crap it results in that obnoxious situation instead.

The sad thing is that these aren't even the worst video game escpft quests(tm) that I've played through.

Make him invulnerable from one side. Basically you gotta escort him so enemies don't flank and kill him but he also provides cover
