For anyone not wanting to spend the crazy amount that a Pro Controller will set you back for Smash Bros, I recommend these Nyko Wireless Core Controllers from Amazon. They are only $30 and have a handful of colors to that kind of remind me of the colored N64 controllers. I bought the red one and it's worked out great. Plus it has gyro and rumble.

Picked up a PlayStation Classic and was surprised at how easily they are able to be modded to add games on. Reliving the fun of Smackdown and Smackdown 2

I'm very excited for it.

• We needed a second Switch to both play Pokemon anyways.
• Love the form factor and features like the d-pad
• Anything they removed I don't care about really

Even without the current Switch I have, I think it's pretty tempting especially since the Switch is essentially Nintendo's only console now and a good number of users never dock anyways.

I don't know, I guess I'm just old school in that I still like to have the option of playing on the tv. I bought my wife's Switch used for around the same price as this thing.

Switch Lite is happening.

It’s basically a 2DS that plays Switch games. Not sure why someone would spend $200 when they can get the full experience for a hundred more and be able to dock it on tv and have detachable joy cons.

For me, it’s a toss up between WCW Revenge and WWF No Mercy. Just sooooo many hours into those games and none of the games after have truly captured the same kind of magic for me

It has already been confirmed that you can't use the Pokeball Plus as a controller - it wouldn't work because you need a second stick for the camera controls and I assume more inputs than the Plus has. You can use it to walk around with a Pokemon however.

Sword/Shield will have Pokemon visible in the field, but it goes back to battling and throwing Pokeballs to catch them.

ugh, I actually like the non battle system for catching them. I can't even count how many times I've tried to catch them on the DS games and drained their energy to nothing.

PokeBall Plus I think it's called?

Ah. Yeah, I can't imagine them phasing that out. I've just been using the single joy con. My three year old gets a kick out of being able to capture them with it too.

I hope the ball thing isn't going to be mandatory for Sword and Shield but... I think so.

the ball thing?

Are Lets Go Pikachu/Lets Go Eevee the template for which the Pokemon series will play like on the Switch? I gotta say - I'm obsessed with this right now. My wife bought me Lets Go Pikachu this past weekend as a gift from my son for father's day and I in turn got her Lets Go Eevee as an early anniversary gift. She was not at all looking forward to playing, as she thought Pokemon looked dumb. She's now almost 20 hours in and is obsessed as well.

Spike-Chunsoft has a reveal on a livestream on the 19th, and I'm just going get everyone excited by hoping that it's Fire Pro on Switch.

I soooooo want this

Quick update:

TNA's 2003 workers have been added. Ring of Honor is added as a playable promotion with their roster from June 2002-onward.

I am going to be adding Pro Wrestling NOAH next, as they were the only option given any votes. After I add NOAH, I'll be adding 2003 workers for ROH and 2004 workers for TNA.

Locations used for TNA and ROH from June 2002 to the end of the year are available currently.

If anyone wants it, I have a zip file for everything completed thus far, but with only two promotions, I'll only be uploading that if someone asks for it.

After I finish adding in NOAH, I'll also be using iDOL's gimmick file to assign gimmicks to all of the workers. (There are currently 315, so it's not a massive task). I'm sure that I'll be adding new ones and removing things as I go from the gimmicks file, but that seems to be the best way for us to proceed currently.

I think TheWho87’s gimmick file would be better to use. I’m not even sure where mine originated from, and only keep using it because it would take too long to plug a better one in

The Great Gatsby obviously. Nothing captures that time period quite like Jay-Z.

Picked up NBA 2K19 for 2.99 on the eshop, I think it’s on sale across all platforms

Always Be My Maybe was really good. 

Agreed, watched it with my wife the other night and we both enjoyed it.

Thanks for continuing with this tough, it’s a great asset to the community.

If they go through with the rumored “new” Nintendo Switch and Switch pro models I’m going to be pretty frustrated. Especially if certain games end up requiring the pro model like they did with the n3DS. It’s a slap in the face to people who bought the Switch at launch.

It’s almost as if these writers didn’t know what to do with these reveals. 

If Jon wasn’t revealed to be a Targaryen, nothing in the story would have really been different other than Vary’s demise. It’s daft.

That's not MCU!  But yes,  Spiderverse was a whole lot of fun

I couldn’t stand the animation style so I couldn’t sit through it 😥

Detective Pikachu is fun and my son loves it. Not sure why the critics are panning it.

More Endgame musings

I've just realised that Peter Quill's story gets horribly overlooked during the film. This is first visit back to Earth since he was kidnapped from there as a child, he fights a battle, then gets back in a ship and leaves again.

I know it's not a GOTG story or film but I would have thought they could have squeezed in 30 seconds of Quill visiting his mother's grave for the first time.

 

My little guy LOVES Yoshi's Crafted World. He'd played Super Mario Party with us a few times, but at 3, the controls for some of the mini games meant he couldn't understand them. Using a single joycon was a bit hard for him, but after putting a set in the grips, he's really gotten the hang of it with Yoshi, and he has to beat me to the finish line of every level. He also loves the Gumball machine rounds and getting the costumes.

The body is just so off putting, and they eyes just freak me the hell out. I hope Puma dropped some good sponsorship money for those kicks.

Just picked up Yoshi's Crafted World, and there goes any plan of being productive for the rest of the weekend.
