not a party but we got mario kart going during happy hour on our rooftop deck at work, didn't even think about the commercial! screen is surprisingly ok in the sun!

 

[wildfire]

That black guy isn't going to be able to see shit.

He's playing with a handicap because he's simply that good.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Played some with the family in tabletop mode. This Switch thing, pretty, pretty, pretty, good.

 

[forrest]

I have a rooftop patio at the top of my apartment building here is Seattle. No real desire to take the switch up there when I have a 130 inch projector screen in the apartment

 

[DECK'ARD]

The more time that goes on the more and more clear it becomes that Nintendo absolutely nailed this concept.

 

[Metalmarc]

How are we supposed to have Rooftop Parties when a lot of our Rooftops look like this? At least in our part of the uk, also we live on a slope and our yard is too small, and the weather is shite.

Talk about non inclusive, Nintendo you jerks (jking)

 

[Chittagong]

Shall this be the Official Show Off Your Switch Life thread? I think so!

Here's mine:

Rooftop enough?

Love flying with the Switch:

Jeez, Ball much sir?

Yes, she and John Drake are married afaik? Hope I'm not mixing something up here.

It is, and they are.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Played Mario Kart 8 at a 5 star Japanese steakhouse. Started getting a crowd of young adults watching me and my girlfriend. Then they wanted to try while our food was being made. Was honestly a lot of fun. After we ate we ordered drinks and made some friends as we played. I honestly see the magic behind this thing.

any pics tho?

 

[FinalAres]

Not rooftop but had a barbecue and towards the end we brought the Switch out for Mario Kart.

 

[Ashtar]

oh that's nice, I had no idea, I only know her from her brief time at GameTrailers

 

[Spacejaws]

Yeah and? Shu Yoshida is a giant Nintendo nerd and buys all their consoles. I believe he had two Wii U's.

Did he think two tablets could be used in multiplayer?

 

[DECK'ARD]

No, he lost a bet.

I used to be part of a reasonably active watch forum and one of the threads on there was named 'wrist shots'. What started as people posting pictures of themselves wearing Rolex, Tag and breitling watches soon turned into shots of people looking at their watches in the most luxurious locations. A strip club, by the pool with a hot girl, on top of a mountain and at the wheel of a 6 figure sports car.

This thread is giving me the same vibes.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Can some of you let me borrow some money with all the champagne bottles and rooftops you have to play the Switch on? Lol

LOL for real. Kinda want to see it though.

 

[Velikost]

You don't need to be on a roof or outside to bring people in:

It's like an ad for forward head posture

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

Easier ways to break in. It's why most apartments I've seen prohibit access and keep it locked.
Not that I nescessarily agree to the reasoning.

Oh ok. Still though, it's not reasonably easy for the average person to get to a building's rooftop.

Here in DC area a lot of bars and apartment buildings use their rooftops.

 

[Glass Shark]

[Timeaisis]

I played Mario Kart alone in my underwear last night. So close.

 

[atom519]

No rooftop party, but as others have mentioned the Switch is perfect for flights. I played Snipperclips with my boss and boy does it make the time fly by.

Good for her for embracing this stuff.

Edit: Link removed for safety. I didn't know it was not allowed. Sorry.

Her last photo with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe stole my heart.

My rooftop's slanted.

We got a thread about this and it got closed super fast.

Rip this thread too.

 

[tenderbrew]

Played 2p Mario Kart on a flight to Chicago today in tabletop mode and it worked flawlessly. Person I was with was impressed.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Aren't rooftops usually closed off on access due to burglary risk?

Phantom Thieves most likely.

 

[Richie]

...

That moment when you realize Switch owners who invite others to play...

...are the Real Life "Wii Would Like To Play" guys.

 

[psyfi]

none of my friends care about video games

 

[maks]

I cant even play in my living room in the daytime due to the glare. I did put an amfilm screen protector on though. Maybe thats it.

 

[panama chief]

Had a video game event last night for my house warming. In between sessions of marvel, street fighter, FIFA, halo and other games, we had 8 player MK8 games that had us rolling. Some people played from the patio. If that counts for anything.

 

[Skyzard]

Closest I got is playing in a strip club

*Applauds*

I don't see how that Instagram account can be any harmful? She looks like she's genuinely enjoying her Switch and the Internet fame that came with it :/

Should I remove the link?

 

[jts]

Just today I've been to my in-laws and took the Switch. Played Mario Kart and 1-2-Switch with the folks and kids. Good times were had. Indoors though.

Spoiler

Now bring me that Wii Sports, Nintendo.

 

[Giolon]

I played Mario Kart on Switch in a diner with my friends at lunch yesterday. Does that count?

 

[LucidMomentum]

I spent about an hour playing Puyo Puyo Tetris with people using four joycons at a Smash tournament yesterday. Everyone wanted in.

Was fun!

 

[Penguin]

Probably not the same

But the first Splatoon 2 Testfire was during work hours so some co-workers and I booked a conference room and borrowed a projector and played it for an hour.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

I can't fathom it.

I've never seen games be a thing at parties other than Rock Band a few different times. I've seen MvC3 or SFIV being played by a few people, but they seemed to be kind of withdrawing from socializing anyways. I don't see why Switch would be something novel that people would be interested in at a party other than because it's new.

 

[Zemm]

If a friend handed me a single joycon, I'd have to ask them why they hate me so much.

 

[gogogow]

Because nothing like it has ever existed. It's small, you can bring it everywhere with you, it comes standard with a screen and two controllers. It's perfect for parties. And Nintendo are masters at local multiplayer games. Really not hard to understand.

 

[phanphare]

that moment when your buddy invites you to a brewery during the week and you realize you can bring your Switch with you and play Mario Kart while drinking

I'll probably end up leaving it at home but the fact that I actually considered it..

 

[RRockman]

I remember there were actually people saying couch multiplayer on the go would never catch on here.

Well games in general are popular at parties. Drinking games. Card games. Board games. People like having activities other than eating or drinking at these events. (Clearly depends on the type of party too)

So it serves to reason that a proper video game could also be something that draws folks attention.

 

[Koppai]

Me and my friends went to an asian drink shop and played Mario Kart today. 2 on each Switch.

 

[RootCause]

A thread on a gaming forum , or tweet by someone involved in the industry doesn't really prove much. imo

 

[Spukc]

640 x 360 on the Switch per player versus 160 x 120 per player on N64 though.
