Try a certain move where you find the exact in-game locations of the pictures/screenshots.

Not to be dismissive of Super Mario Odyssey, where i will still be collecting moons for the foreseeable future. But what are the chances we actually get a Mario sequel (or Zelda, for that matter) on the Switch?

With Mario Odyssey out today, I eagerly await the Zelda DLC part 2 announcement. Nintendo is still adhering to a before the end of the year release.

Splatoon 2 has been interesting for me as of late. Salmon Run is my jam, I sink hours into it. But I just don’t feel like I’m improving in the competitive scene. It could be the time I play, late evening against some high level players, or it could be that I’m just terrible at aiming. But yes the Griller is the…

I don’t know if it was the wrong way to play, certainly improvised, but my cousins and I used to race Mario Kart 64 backwards. The point was to not be in last place (i.e. first place) when someone inevitably gets the blue turtle shell. The person who got hit with it “lost” and then we’d start the process over....we…

This weekend will be all about Mario + Rabbids and the SNES Classic. First the latter. I snagged one this morning with minimal fuss. Pulled up to Target at 8:01, they were out of tickets but said to wait in line anyway. I got the last one and was out by 8:05. Kudos to Target for the painless crowd control. Also,…

I’m the opposite of you in Splatoon 2. I spend any free time in Salmon Run and have avoided Ranked Mode, due to my frankly terrible aiming skills. I can vouch for Salmon Run being crazy fun, although it probably doesn’t quite have the feeling of advancement that Ranked Mode provides. It is a good way to rack up…

Testing, testing... I think I made the transfer over to Kinja, but it didn’t care for my apostrophe starting moniker, so I’m going with another Simpson reference as per AV Club account creation protocol.

I hope this is a trend of frequent digital discounts on the eshop. Can anyone vouch for the fun factor of I Am Setsuna?

No there isn't, and don't call me Surely. Kidding aside, 'walking simulator' is more a term of endearment to me at this point. Now if you'll excuse me I need to gear up for my 'paint simulator' this weekend.

Congratulations on the new system. You are in for a treat.

Support player take: I hold back to cover every square inch of home turf first. Too many games come down to tenths of a percent for a win. The middle is always a constant push-pull for advantage so I never jump in until I know whose out there. I usually don't assert till about 30 seconds left. It only takes about…

Splatoon 2 has Ranked Battles for PvP. You need to reach level 10 before it unlocks. It rotates every 2 hours, I think; Rainmaker, Tower Control, and Splat-Zones. Intense stuff, but it now ranks you individually for each as opposed to altogether like the first game. Salmon Run is a great multiplayer online…

Well, it finally happened. I achieved level 17 in Splatoon 2 and more importantly received the Squelcher. And it is glorious. I'm not an in-the-fray type of player and this weapon caters perfectly to that play style. You get semi-decent ink coverage, near sniper distance, and the enemy scattering tentatek…

I'll admit to having more amiibo than I should, but I've trailed off significantly in the last year. It's funny how if they released this stuff via normal DLC methods, they would probably make more money and have a more content fan base. That said, why are they still designing amiibos where the characters are…

I can't wait to see what Yacht Club attempts after they've finished their Shovel Knight obligations.

Salmon Run is so fun. Nintendo's decision to keep it limited is having it's intended consequence; it's absence makes me want to play it all the more.

I feel your pain. My weapon of choice is taunting me at Level 17.

Will definitely be splating some fools in Splatoon 2 this weekend. With how invested I've become in the game, the pro controller is calling to me. I'd really like to get the garish Splatoon 2 themed version, but it's nowhere to be found. Life is so hard. There were talks around these parts about instituting some…

Speaking as an online mulitplayer avoider, you might not hate this game. Consider: no voice chat, unless you connect with friends via Nintendo's convoluted process, so no harassment. The main component of the game, Turf Wars, prioritizes the player who covers the most ground. So even if you don't splat a single…
