Turns out strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is a system for a basis of government after all.

Well, at least better at what the Tories think and do.

Well guess what, a lady sitting in a puddle just gave me a bread knife. I'm taking a flight to the UK right now to ask for my coronation.

Green Meeple! KING OF BRITONS (BAKERIES)!

 

[LukasManak22]

At this point they should have dropped it on Mar10 lol. But March 9th looks like a pretty busy day now, Mario movie Direct, Booster Course Pass new wave and Level-5 event.

 

[Mr_No_U]

ARTHUR! KING OF THE BRITONS!

They would post this just after I finish editing the table in the OP

WELL THEN, patch 1.0.2 dropping later today I guess

 

[Skittzo]

Just realized I don't have a mimic enemy. So I whipped one up as a little gold gobliny fella inside a chest who spits gold coins at you to do damage.

Not sure what to call him though.

Gholdengo, erm Gholdingo

 

[ngpdrew]

Tribal SP sure was better than this abomination:

Who are you? Who AM I? What are you, police or a handheld console? Edginess at its peak.

And I own this. Tribal tatoo too. Couldn't help it, GBA SP is just awesome.

Haha. I forgot about the "Who Are You?" phase of Nintendo. What an odd artifact of the time.

My gf managed to get me a preorder of the Special Edition of TOTK so I am no longer in the "This looks like 70€ DLC" camp

Spoiler

Is this not just a March 10 in Japan, March 9 in West situation?

First time I saw Iwata being invoked in a way that didn't make me roll my eyes, congrats @Raccoon

after years of attempts I finally did it...

tangentially, I encourage you all to read the cringe in my signature if you haven't already

You were like 5 when you wrote that, it's ok to be cringe at that age

Spoiler

I always forget that people have signatures because I turned them off

So you don't know that i always aim for the stars, and the miss by miles? ;_;

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Also, holy shit, it's been 8 years since Iwata's passing.

Well, we all knew that, there's no need for a signature.

News is news

 

[EvilChameleon]

Wanna get Rune Factory 5 for the Switch to fill my farming fix for the year, but I hear even after a patch it's still bad on the performance side.

 

[chocolate_supra]

News is news

Not in America it isnt

 

[Ozeiyo]

Now also preorder the TotK Link Amiibo to have a 160€ DLC Bundle!

I'm waiting until they lock fast travel under the amiibo to purchase it.

 

[Mr_No_U]

My thread has a nice number of replies

It is rough, yeah. I regret buying it, sadly.

 

[MissingNo.]

Hit my first major roadblock in Sekiro with Owl 2, but unlike on my first playthrough, I somehow came out on top. Proceeded to take a victory lap against Divine Dragon, and beat up the last few mini bosses to max out my prayer beads. But now I am truly in the endgame.

Am I prepared for the road ahead? Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z.

I immediately started hearing the butt-rock upon reading this

Well it was nice while it lasted

 

[DecoReturns]

joy-cons kinda of suck. Don’t they.

Mine only stopped sucking when I had to take 'em apart and put in those hall effect sensor sticks.

Yes, they do hella suck

 

[Barely Able]

I quite like them but wouldn’t mind a larger model. Been playing Wii and the remote size and nunchuck shake are perfect. Joycon with a larger stick and buttons (maybe not pro controller size but slightly bigger) would be great

 

[Awesomegames23]

Joyless-cons

 

[MissingNo.]

joy-cons kinda of suck. Don’t they.

Great idea, poor execution. My only hope is they can make those things more durable for Switch 2.

 

[Plum]

Talking about Joy-Cons, has there ever been a 'main controller' gimmick used less than the infrared sensor on the right Joy-Con? Outside of Brain Training and those crappy night-vision apps on the eShop I can't think of a single other usage for them.

We're all rooting for you! Not much left of the game, now.

And remember...

Hesitation is defeat

Heartrate meter on Ring Fit Adventure.

Only EPD4 carrying on the spirit of Iwata.

Ah, I meant to only refer to ones that come in-built on a handheld, or on a console's main controller. If it were just peripherals then there's a shitton that only work with, like, one game. See: The Labo controllers.

Labo used it extensively

Edit: and now I see the nuance of the original comment and agree. Has been used almost exclusively for peripheral/accessory type functions.

 

[Plum]

Guess I'm wrong again lol

Ah, gotcha. Technically speaking, it doesn’t use the peripheral to measure your heartrate but I see what you meant.

edit: for reference

I forgot the right Switch Joy-Con has an IR sensor: here's what uses it

The Joy-Con IR sensor is a weird beast, and one that I don't interact with often. At all, really! It came screaming out of the gate

www.destructoid.com

 

[Barely Able]

Guess I'm wrong again lol

I added an edit after you answered Darden since you addressed labo. I just know it wasn’t a big thing so some light not know it was used a bunch.

 

[Brofield]

It was like I said in that wasted potential of Joy-Con thread: I despise the success RFA has had because while I would absolutely champion the removal of the IR sensor completely if it made the Joy-Cons quantifiably cheaper, any sequel to RFA that would not have the heartrate monitor would absolutely be a lesser experience.

I saw the header image from the corner of my eye and thought for a second that it was Chrono Trigger.

Let me tell you, dear reader, I was heated.

 

[HockeyBird]

I think I'll play some Metroid Prime tonight and then watch The Mandalorian. Good time for sci-fi power armor fans.
