There are usually more low key games and indie titles that have only a few people or no one at all waiting. Last year I enjoyed just wandering up to those games and trying them out. Got to play Night in the Woods, Gravity Rush 2, Cup Head, Slime Rancher and more with no wait what so ever.

I’m looking in the back of the booklet and I can’t find any ads. Was it actually part of the booklet or a separate insert?

Obviously there are two CRT’s next to each other and they’re playing Smash! It’s a tournament.

Super Mario RPG 2 already came out, it’s called Paper Mario. Seriously, it was called Mario RPG 2 until they decided to change the name to better reflect the new visuals.

Guess my April Fools joke was actually real. Jokes on me!

I mean, I’d be bummed I lost out, but if it was known that I didn’t have my usual setup I wouldn’t be too crushed. Maybe I’d feel great that I managed to do so well without it. It’s all about the circumstances. People would look at me and say, “That guy did really well without his fancy system. He’s really talented at…

Boy, you interpreted a lot of things I never even alluded to.

I feel like that could go either way.

If you can get gold in all 200cc Grand Prix it unlocks a special skin.

You must not have much left to pay...

Seems a bit too “on-the-rails” for me. Though most 3D Sonic games feel that way.

Is that an HP tattoo I spy? ;D

I totally finagled my way over one of the walls in a shrine puzzle with some fancy climbing and flying, skipping the puzzle part entirely. I feel like maybe that was an oversight... But it was fun!

Target stores are doing like 25ish non-preorder units. My brother Ian currently in line for one.

The dialogue is pure gold. Playing through it with my wife and we’re really enjoying it. Good write up, Riley!

I’d buy it day one if it came to PS4...

I would love to see Splatoon 2 become a legit eSport with large tournaments and such. I feel like it’s a game I could actually be decent at on a competitive level. There are certainly like minded squids and kids out there, we’re just going to have to band together if the Splatoon scene is ever going to happen.
