Nintendo Switch: Thread 10

Not quite. You need to press both sides at the same time, under varying degrees depending on the corner and its apex. Slamming both triggers jams the machine into a full drift where you can regain a level of traction by depressing the trigger for which way you’re currently turning.

You’d also need an extra thumb for acceleration.

Showing how long it's been since I played GX. I don't remember an analogue accelerator in it though, are you not thinking about Burnout 2?

No, I meant if you’re controlling the air brakes with the right stick you’d have to accelerate elsewhere.

F-Zero only ever had analogue steering until GX, where I feel they brought in the analogue drifting to compensate. It definitely gives it unique depth not found anywhere else.

From October, there will be no more new content for Mario Kart Tour on mobile.

I'd guess that this is a sign that the final wave of MK8D Booster Course Pass content will drop around that time.

Also, given that MK8D will eventually have the vast majority of MK Tour content in it, does this mean that MK Tour's days are numbered?

Soooo. Pikmin 4 is great after the first level isn't it! How did it sell?

I don't know the figures, but more than all the others combined.

The September Direct that everybody knew was coming!

4PM CEST / 7AM PST / 10AM EST

I'm quite looking forward to this Direct and I'm not even being a trace of sarcastic. It's genuinely been quite some time since I found myself caring that much about what the Switch was having released for it, there's been some good games but nothing I care too much about. This is quite possibly the penultimate proper Direct the Switch will ever have before its successor enters discussions in a serious manner and there's actually several games on the slate that I have an eye on. The system looks to be aiming to end on a high note for my tastes and as Wonder already had its 15 minute showing this should be a solid viewing for Mario RPG remake and the other titles on the way.

Oh God Another Code. Please more of this series, including Hotel Dusk.

[briareos_kerensky]

The "new" Contra looks absolutely meh.

[briareos_kerensky]

New Vanillaware game! For a moment I though it was Grand Knights History remade.

Nintendo museum in Kyoto, a good excuse to visit the city once more

[Lebowski]

And continuing the 99 series we are getting an Fzero 99 which is a classic style Super Nintendo Fzero with 99 players

So, no new F-Zero but a remake of Paper Mario GC instead. Well, colour me unimpressed. Is the first Paper Mario available for subscribers? Kinda weird jumping from SNES to GC like this.

Dire direct
