Somebody please play 1 2 Switch on the subway and videotape it.
we readily agreed that having weapons break after 1 hit was totally the right way to go, and we hoped every other game incorporated that mechanic going forward.
Saw a guy play Switch the other day in the same train, sat right next to him, saw he was playing Mario Kart, I pulled out my Switch and asked if he wants to play a round or two.
He packed his Switch in his bag, stood up and went away. Saw him sitting on the stairs when I left the train, still playing Mario Kart.![]()
Wait...is that sarcasm?
I played mine on transit for the first time yesterday. It worked out pretty well actually. Although 200cc Mario Kart on a bumpy bus is kind of impossible.
I have a similar story, but with a cool happy ending. I was waiting for the bus, and there was a woman waiting next to me. As the bus arrives, she pulls her Vita out of her pocket.
I, in response, pulled my Vita out of my pocket. I sit on the bus, she sits next to me. She's playing Persona 4, I'm playing Super Time Force Ultra. After a few awkward minutes she says "So what games you got?"
So now we start talking and showing each other what games we have installed on our Vitas. She asks me if I played Arkham Origins Blackgate mentioning that she worked on it a bit.
I tell her I played Arkham Origins but not Blackgate, and she told me she worked as a programmer on Origins. She's a dev at WB. Super cool trip, I even stayed on for a few extra stops to keep talking with her. =)
That sucks. You were probably having visions of playing impromptu games of MK8 in the park or on a rooftop.
I would've even be happy with a simple "what games you've got?" lmao
Well seems like I was silly enough to think that a impromptu game session during a train ride was going to be a thing ;_;
Edit: Thinking about it, the worst part was that he was sacrificing his seat in a crowded train to avoid playing Mario Kart with me whyyyy WHYYY
I want Switch to be a success as much as the next person but lord it feels like people are trying real hard to stan for Nintendo these days. Both in subtle and not so subtle ways.
I saw plenty of people playing Vita's and even PSP's back in the day on public transportation.
Also, you really want every game to have weapons that break? No thanks. IMO it takes a special design for a game to necessitate weapons that break after killing 6 enemies.
Did someone knock him out cold and steal it from him?
No? Switch hasn't made it yet.
Lol.
With you on the first half.
Then you gotta Stan and shit on Zelda having clearly not played it.
Come on breh
During my daily commute here in NYC the last 234 years, it's been pretty rare to see someone playing a handheld system on the subway. Maybe two times a year. To be honest, I haven't seen any handheld the last year or 2, though, as everyone just plays games on their phone.
That said, last night, there was a girl playing Zelda on her Switch. I gave her a high five and we discussed all our favorite shrines, and we readily agreed that having weapons break after 1 hit was totally the right way to go, and we hoped every other game incorporated that mechanic going forward.
Seriously though, I thought the chance of seeing a Switch on the subway was near 0. The weird thing (to me) was that she just put it into her backpack as she left the train. I'd want a carrying case for that badboy.
Other than belittling people with a different opinion, what purpose does this post serve? How did saying this play in your mind to think it's a good contribution?
I've seen someone playing a Vita on the NYC subway before. Talk about a rare sighting.
I was once playing Danganronpa 2 on the subway. Right next to me was a girl also playing Danganronpa 2, and we were at the SAME exact part of the game.
To the OP, I see people playing games on the subway all the time. As a matter of fact, I'm on the train right now and this guy next to me is using a 3DS.

Eh, he's in public, candid shots and all that. It's not like he's beig captured in an embarassing moment or something.I hope you got his permission to post that. Using stranger's pictures on the internet is odd.
Wait, is the guy in that pic using wireless headphones with a 3DS???

they do"Switch has made it"
Do people actually think like this, walking around in public and happily proclaiming victory in their head on behalf of an electronics company?
