Didn't work very well for me. It feels very awkward. I'm usually not a fan of any motion controls though but don't mind using gyro aiming for splatoon.  Interested to hear other feedback. I will probably just stick with the pro controller for nowBeats Alive posted to the discord - Motion controls for Splatoon 2 is a no-go.  That was way too awkward.On video services like Netflix and YouTube for the SwitchCapt_Logun posted in the discord - Imagine a world where you’re watching a show on Netflix and someone wants to watch their show on the main tv; Easy to imagine right? Now imagine walking over and picking up your streaming box and walking to another room and placing it down and having it pick of right where you left off in seconds.

This was her first video game level completed and although proud I was left with a question.  How do I continue to introduce her to video games? The only other game she has ever played was Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the joy-con steering wheels and all assists turned on, she loved this and I cherished the moment along with her.I know this is a personal question and I would not hold it against you to not answer but I relate to your podcast perhaps most on a fellow fatherly gamer level and just wondered how you introduced your kids to gaming and how you progressed those skills.I'd very much enjoy this subject to be a segment on one of your podcasts (just a suggestion), givin' some of your past experiences as I would love nothing more than to share my passion for Nintendo and games with my daughter as she grows.Keep up the great work, and we will all keep listening and coming back for more. NewsSplatoon 2 Direct Thursday July 6th,10am ETNintendo Press ReleaseBlaster Master zero gets more new characters!  Shovel Knight and Shante!These aren’t just skins!  Inti Creates is a fantastic dev, I’m really impressed with BMZTelltale likes the SwitchNintendo Shareholders meeting translatedPlague Tale not coming to Switch due to lack of powerTHQ Nordic also complains that the Switch isn’t powerful enough.Pac-Man Vs. has Download play with Namco Museum!eBay removes listings for SNES classicThat is all we have time fo

We already know two major things that support my theory that it is. One, the online plans were pushed back to 2018 instead of this fall. Basically when the SNES classic is being released. Two the Classic is only going to be available till the end of 2017, potentially when the online plans will go live. They’ve already talked about not being sure about SNES games for the online plans. They saw the demand for NES and two of the three titles from the NES Classic were mentioned for the online plans next year. I think the SNES will help them decide if there’s still a market for this generation especially since they haven’t pushed SNES ports to the New 3DS lately.They don’t want to keep making these things, it’s limited but that makes me think they have plans to do something else with these games later on.Just some thoughts I had and wanted to hear your two centsJon emailed the showHey hey!I just wanted to get your opinion on some more SNES classic stuff.  I saw an article that someone shared on Facebook which said the NES classic and SNES classic might be coming to the Switch. Now I don't know where these articles came from, and I didn't really read much into them. I don't like playing internet detective (that's your job). Do you think this could be true at all? Did you hear anything about this? It seems like a good idea to me because I feel like it'll be very hard to get an SNES classic. But it also seems too easy. Nintendo doesn't seem like they like to make things easy for us.I can see this from both points of view. Why pay $80 for a digital games bundle. Most people want the physical system because it's just that cool. But for most people that can't get a hold of this thing, I feel like it's a good alternative. Personally, I'd pay $80 just for a digital copy of Starfox 2, but I'm just a huge Starfox fan. That brings me to another point: why can't Nintendo release Starfox 2 on switch? There's no reason this shouldn't be done and sold for like $20. Thoughts?Jonny/Fox/Link31254NewsSplatoon 2 Direct Thursday July 6th,10am ETSingle PlayerCali/Mari expositionThe Voice chat app
