    Yeah, it's basically the closest thing to a Mario Kart Maker. Which is quite neat from what i saw.

    Well, i'm honestly not sure about that, but if they are gunna do the same thing with what they did with Mario 3D All-Stars, it's going to be quite a head-scratcher.

    Mario Kart Live First thoughts:

    Its bigger than I expected!!
    It's all cardboard, gotta be careful with the kiddies
    You can charge the car with the Switch Lite charger, convenient!
    Downloading pretty fast, nice easy setup!
    Whiskey is good!

    Hahaha OMG this is the greatest thing ever!! The game is SO intuitive, using items causes your kart to react! Getting hit by shells stops your kart, drifting gives you speed boosts, mushrooms and stars make your kart go faster, there's multiple classes, 50c, 100cc, etc, which your kart moves faster and faster in real life. It literally feels like you're blasting around at 100mph even though you look down and the kart is crawling past you. It controls AMAZING. it feels like any other mario kart game. It makes a map that works real time, you can crash into other digital racers, theres wind that makes your kart steer to one side, its crazy how smart this little RC car is, they've obviously been developing this for a long time.

    You can literally make and modify a course any where, any way. I kept getting stuck on a box, so I ran over and hoofed it out of the way in the middle of the race. I love how the arrow signs light up in the game, Im gonna try and print off some more. I cant believe the items work 100% as they do in any mario game, that blows my mind.

    There's hit detection, Mario yells in the game when you run into something in real life, there's in game hazards along with whatever you got on your course you wanna throw down (carpet, chairs, cats). And lastly, i gotta say how impressed I am at how this kart does not get stuck. I setup a pretty radical course with carpet, letter blocks, chairs, desks, etc not once did get it stuck or wedged where I had to go save it. Not once. I had to reverse obviously, but thats ok!

    Man, go buy this!

    That classic NES packaging for Fire Emblem looks awesome. Man I want them to release special editions of games like that again with their original manuals etc. I miss manuals, maps, and other items being included with games. They should release the original Super Mario Bros. in that format for the anniversary.

    And yeah Mario Kart Live looks really amazing for what it is. Leave it to Nintendo to cook up some real world meets game magic like that. Not for everyone I know, but I love when Nintendo shows their toy company DNA a bit. It's ultimately what sets them apart from other gaming companies. Video games are just another kind of toy to them.

    Note: That's just for single controllers. Two-packs still the same price. At last it's the same if you were to buy two singles now.

    Possibly cause it doubles as another controller (which is probably why a bundle is 70$) and the features of the controller (gyro controls, motion controls, etc.) I will admit they are a little expensive.
    Thanks for leaving that, should of said that when I originally posted.

    I really hope this doesn't become the new norm going forward for Nintendo. It's okay once in a while, and I especially understand it with their premium IPs like Mario. But Fire Emblem? On the NES? That's a stretch for me in terms of the value of their making them limited releases, especially digitally. Not when classic (and more lucrative) games like Mario are available with the Nintendo Online subscription. Just seems very incongruent.

    Some Pokemon stuff:



    First 11 minutes of Transformers Battlegrounds:



    (I love how the in-game rationale for the bird's eye camera perspective is that a random human has been forcibly hoisted into the air and must silently observe and direct all the battles to come :lol )

    This may seem a bit odd, but I need help figuring out where a BOTW DLC music track plays.

    "The Champions' balled ending"


    I've looked for a long time and I can't figure out where it plays. Any help would be appreciated.
