Downloading now.. with a 200 Mbps connection... it's going slow as fuck. But yeah add me if you want to play once it's done. SW-0323-1787-8409

And yeah why would you want the inconvenience of swapping carts for a game you know you won't be selling off? Go digital, you pansies.

How often will you be looking at the box? Box art, schmox art.

This was me. Still is me.
 
Blows my mind that this is portable now.

Nintendo has two killer apps on the switch...

Three if you consider 1, 2 switch one. I have it and don't like it, but I always show it off to new people and after I do - i usually hear "I'm getting a switch".
Yeah, 1-2 Switch really should have been a bundle game.

Really fun! Steering assist is annoying that it's on by default (im on pro controller), really messes with shortcuts by being on.

This Law vs Renegade battle mode is unplayable shit. Everyone is so tiny and most of the time you're going to confuse your allies with your enemies. Names often appear way too late.
I was looking forward to that one the most, boo

Don't you see... the big piranha plant?...

Just find it surprising if people have trouble telling the difference between players.

It's weird to say just how much auto accelerate helps the game for me. A constant sore thumb makes me a sore loser. I probably enjoy it like 20% more just resting my thumb on break.

Tried to pick up MK8D at Walmart and was turned away. Even though they have stock in the back and the shelf labeled and ready to go, with MK8 display up. They told me to come back tomorrow, even though it is "tomorrow".

Yo I got two questions.

1: Does tilt still increase traction by a lot?

2: Is there an easy way to switch to tilt without pausing in multiplayer if so?

Good luck with that in 200cc, when you actually need to come of the accelerator but braking is too much slowdown!
 
I keep getting comm errors, anyone else experiencing this? I've heard about them on Wii U but never got one, but here I was only able to play a match so far ):

Is it the first time you're playing online with the switch btw? Also have you tried undocked if you were docked?

Not the first time. I always get shit connections on Bomberman, but can find 4 or more bars people on Puyo all the time. Always docked, will try undocked

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Can you switch between your held items like in DD or do you have to use them in order?

During the splatfest I could only play undocked because my dock messed up with my wifi, even if I put it directly next to my router, lol. I had no idea until then, since downloads resume when the connection is lost.
Seems to be better now that I'm on 5ghz.

From my googling at that time, some people recommend changing the DNS as well. If everything fails, well...not sure. A cheap ethernet adapter maybe?
I feel your pain though, this can be annoying really fast
 
I skipped the Wii U, so pardon me when I state the obvious and say this game is gorgeous! The colors pop, the animations are wonderful, and the sound effects and music are great.

And then you throw in the fact that it's portable, has support for multiplayer on the go, and has online multiplayer—this game is fantastic.

Only question I have is: can you go to the Switch menu while playing online? Or do you disconnect immediately?

It really can't be overstated enough how much the new item stacking adds to strategy, player agency and balance. This game is now utter perfection.

Worked undocked but I feel like this isn't just me... Had a room in which 4 or more people just left at the same time...

Funny enough global testfire worked wonderfully for me every day, with no disconnects at all while docked and I'm also on 5ghz. I'll try it again

Does clearing 200cc give all the other speed the trophies as well ? I know it does for 150 giving 100 and 50 as well ..

Downloaded between breakfast and brushing my teeth for me before I left for work, so in about half an hour (maybe faster, didn't check in between). I have a 50Mb/s connection, so that's acceptable. Can't wait to get home and play:D

I played the Wii U version, and still amazed by the game's graphics. The game has aged very well, and having the game in 1080p, along with being able to play it on a handheld both to enhance already amazing looking game.
