Not for me. This game is street fighter. tutorials are hot garbage. made for D-pad, yet its the kind of game I'd wanna pull out in table top mode, which is never gonna happen because single joy-con controls are bad. probably won't boot it up again. at least its only $10.

- Sakurai Smash Interview:
"I do feel that Melee may have been geared a bit too much towards a core audience. We made Brawl when the Wii came out. At that time, games like Wii Fit became popular, attracting a lot of casual players that have never really touched a video game before, so we lowered the speed a bit so that those players can enjoy the game as well."
On Dodge Rolling - "There are times where continuing to run away becomes advantageous. I think there are times when, for example, you can take the win by just being evasive with a fast character in a timed match. I want to do something against passive gameplay. It’d be great if we can make these kinds of decisions for more types of situations, but the more we do this, the more we end up leaving our fingerprints"

Mailbag/Question of the week:

Hey guys! love the show.
I have a question about playing multiple games at once. Every since Fornite came out I have a hard time going back to Splatoon 2. Even though the mechanics of the games are very different, I feel like I only have room in my life for 1 online multiplayer game at a time. Same with big open-world games, and indie games. How do you guys juggle the constant onslaught of new content on Switch?
