    Puyo Puyo Tetris is getting great reviews. With that, Mario Kart and Kamiko all out this week, it'll be a great weekend.

    How does region hopping work with nintendo, Is it just setting up a new account for each region and then you can play downloaded games with your main account?

    I've heard it could be €39.99 in the eShop here - so hold off and wait if you want.

    If you want the US version, you'll need to buy a $35 card (or a $10 and a $20, or three $10s)

    If you get a $35, you'll be able to get Kamiko later this week too (I think it's $3 or $4).

    Exchange rates are pretty close, so knock off about a dollar for the Euro equivalent.

    It's actually very easy. I set it up for Binding of Isaac last week. You just have a US account, but you can play with your normal account.

    Expensive weekend!
    Motor tax and speeding fine to pay as well!
    Might buy one of them, Mario Kart 8 natch, and pick up the rest later.

    Why do I think that these two are related?

    It was a guard with speed gun in the bushes and his partner in the HiVis jacket marched into the road and brought me in for a scolding, some points and a fine :(
    Fair enough though.

    I should have unloaded my aggression on the cops in Road Rash 2.....

    Luckily I had used the trail of bananas on the previous roundabout, my fault for using a mushroom on the straight!

    you sure it was speeding and not for killing and stealing the shell off the endangered spiked blue shelled turtle?

    Tumbleseed is out today in the States (not sure if it's out here yet). Looks like another winner on the Switch.

    So, so good.... a must have for everyone, I prefer it to Metal Slug tbh....
    Pulstar now as well and we'll have the set!

    My gods, if they released Puzzle Bobble 2 it would possibly be the greatest day in the world, ever!

    Thumper is out on May 18th. I have it on the PC and it's a great game.
    Headphones + Switch on the go is a winner. :)

    That's a surprise they were very quick responding to me and keeping me up to date on my order. The email address I used was heavyarm8@gmail.com

    Anyone getting a buzzing sound through their headphones? My stereo Sennheiser's are fine with it but I'm getting buzzing through my Turtlebeach surround sounds. I hope it's not another hardware bug.

    Glad I'm not the only one! Just looks like a bug thing hurtling along a track with tippy backgrounds... Can't determine what the game element is...
