I'm not thinking a weekly game night, as interest generally falls off after the first couple or few-- even on forums with hundreds of regular users. I just would like to have some online fun with some my friends here. Would anyone be interested for a night on the weekend? I have fall break next week, so that would be a perfect time to have some friendly competitive fun!

Wah · « **Reply #1 on:** October 10, 2016, 07:56:02 PM »

This weekend I might have the internet to do so, do you have Skype? That a perfect way to implement chat since Nintendo doesn't know how to use voice chat.

Stratos · « **Reply #2 on:** October 10, 2016, 11:36:58 PM »

I'm game! I'll be "batching it up" this coming weekend when my wife is out of town so plenty of TV time uninterrupted for me.

I need to get back into Splatoon and I'll of course be playing Monster Hunter as well.

I've been toying with the idea of trying to start or have an NWR tournament of some kind each month but that's been on the backburner for sometime. Always other things to do and gaming time isn't always as available to me as it was years ago.

The idea Phi's putting forward is simple enough and sounds nice but I just don't know when I can meet up just to do something like that.

Bah! That just means less time on the forums for you! That should give you, like, 6 hours of free time, right?

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #5 on:** October 11, 2016, 01:10:03 PM »

Generally interested, yes but not this particular coming weekend. But I'd like to keep posted.
Also, just FYI, I suck at games

Oedo · « **Reply #6 on:** October 11, 2016, 02:13:58 PM »

I'm up for some Splatoon, Smash 4, or Mario Kart 8! If it's this weekend it would have to be either Friday or Sunday evening for me because of the telethon, but generally speaking I think I could play on most weekend evenings as long as we're all given a little notice.

Mop it up · « **Reply #7 on:** October 11, 2016, 04:05:04 PM »

I'm always interested in online multiplayer, especially co-op games, but I'm soft-spoken so I never know how to try to ask people to play without feeling like I'm being a bother. I have a number of games from the past five years that I'd still be willing to play if anyone were interested.

Phil · « **Reply #8 on:** October 11, 2016, 06:48:54 PM »

We can aim for Saturday the 22nd, maybe? It seems like this weekend everyone already has plans, which there is of course nothing wrong with having a life!

Why don't we all type up some games we'd be willing to play on both Wii U and 3DS, and then we'll select the games we'll play from there? Does that sound smart? (I not too smart, 'cuz it's taken me 12 years to do college, so I never sure!)

Wah · « **Reply #9 on:** October 11, 2016, 07:34:02 PM »

3DS:
Smash
MK7
Animal crossing
Pokémon

and a Skype connection.

Wah · « **Reply #10 on:** October 11, 2016, 07:35:28 PM »

I'll PM you Phil if im free this weekend soon.

Oedo · « **Reply #11 on:** October 12, 2016, 10:10:56 PM »

For Wii U I've got Splatoon, Smash 4, and Mario Kart 8 which I could pick up and play. For 3DS I've got Smash 4 and Monster Hunter Generations (I'm out of practice and probably wouldn't be very useful at the moment, but if everyone doesn't mind that I'm up for getting back into it now). Next Saturday should be good for me too.

Wah · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2016, 10:13:18 PM »

Oedo · « **Reply #13 on:** October 12, 2016, 10:25:37 PM »

Do those games support online battles for more than two people at a time? I honestly haven't used the online features in either game all that much so I'm not quite sure, but if they do, yeah, add both of those onto my list as well.

Wah · « **Reply #14 on:** October 12, 2016, 10:42:59 PM »

2 on 2 battles are possible.

Mop it up · « **Reply #15 on:** October 13, 2016, 07:28:47 PM »

I'm going to bring this to the top for the weekend crew!

Stratos · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2016, 05:36:16 PM »

Sorry I was MIA, work was rather taxing due to the "extreme weather" in the Pacific Northwest and I had to work extra to monitor things. Turned out to be a bunch of nothing, but it still required extra time and I was just too tired to get on once I did get home.

I do hope we get more of these going in the future though.

Phil · « **Reply #19 on:** October 17, 2016, 05:56:21 PM »

Oh, we weren't planning for this weekend! It's for this upcoming weekend!

Wah · « **Reply #20 on:** October 17, 2016, 07:25:00 PM »

I wanted to play with you this weekend...

Oedo · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2016, 07:47:55 PM »

Tri Force Heroes is another one I overlooked. I never went back to it after the update, so I'd like to play through some of that stuff as well.

Wah · « **Reply #22 on:** October 18, 2016, 12:15:32 AM »

I would if I had the game...

Phil · « **Reply #23 on:** October 20, 2016, 12:45:05 AM »

So... Who is up for playing some games this Saturday evening? I'm CST (GMT -6) time zone-wise.

Order.RSS · « **Reply #24 on:** October 20, 2016, 09:53:06 AM »

Can't join this sat because of work, but would be down for another weekend sometime in the future?

I have Splatoon, Pokkén Tournament (awful at it tho) and Smash Bros Wii U.
Also Assassin's Creed 4 which I thiiiiiiiiiiiiink miiiiiiight have online? That one's pretty much unplayed though so not sure.

Oedo · « **Reply #25 on:** October 20, 2016, 03:28:30 PM »

Barring some last minute plans coming up, I can still play on Saturday evening. I'll update my list of games and highlight my preferences (though I'm still cool with playing anything on this list:

Wii U

Splatoon
Smash 4
Mario Kart 8

3DS

Smash 4
Monster Hunter Generations
Pokemon X
Pokemon Omega Ruby
Tri Force Heroes

Stratos · « **Reply #26 on:** October 20, 2016, 05:01:53 PM »

Guess I will list what I am most keen on playing.

Wii U: Smash 4, Splatoon, Monster Hunter 3U, Call of Duty Black Ops II, Minecraft, Terraria, Xenoblade Chronicles X

3DS: MonHun 4U, MonHun Gen, Tri Force Heroes

Phil · « **Reply #27 on:** October 20, 2016, 06:06:08 PM »

Yay! We have people for Saturday night!

Let's see if anyone else can join!

Mop it up · « **Reply #28 on:** October 21, 2016, 02:23:29 PM »

I might be available, and it will depend on what game is chosen.

Phil · « **Reply #29 on:** October 21, 2016, 04:33:17 PM »

We can do multiple games and not just one. Maybe one an hour?

Oedo · « **Reply #30 on:** October 22, 2016, 01:07:44 PM »

Looking at the list of the four people who can/might be able to play this evening, all four have got Splatoon there, so would everyone be cool with that? It would give us enough people for a full squad and it would be relatively easy to get into. If there's gonna be multiple games, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Tri Force Heroes, and Smash 4 show up on at least three lists as well.

Stratos · « **Reply #31 on:** October 22, 2016, 01:32:25 PM »

I won't be home until the evening, so don't make the decision based on me. Splatoon does sound like a game we can all get behind, but I might have to fight my wife for the TV or just go handheld.

Mop it up · « **Reply #32 on:** October 22, 2016, 07:05:23 PM »

It would be pretty neat if we could get a 4-squad going in Splatoon, those are always fun!

Since Tri Force Heroes is just three players, it would be a good thing to play as we wait for a fourth, or after a fourth person leaves.

Since these games don't really have communication in them, should we use NWR's chat? Anyone able to use it during play?

Phil · « **Reply #33 on:** October 22, 2016, 08:32:29 PM »

Unfortunately, I just woke up and am feeling a little depressed. $:-\$
If you guys wanted to play something without me, feel free. Else we can wait for another day or get more people as well. Maybe we can get the staff to do a game night post on the main site?

Oedo · « **Reply #34 on:** October 22, 2016, 09:13:42 PM »

Sorry to hear that Phil, hope you feel better dude. I'll check back here in a bit if you guys still wanna play something else, or we could try for another weekend where we might get more people (maybe even enough for a private battle in Splatoon!).

Mop it up · « **Reply #35 on:** October 22, 2016, 10:36:13 PM »

If Stratos shows up, we could still have three for Tri Force Heroes...

Phil · « **Reply #36 on:** October 22, 2016, 10:50:59 PM »

I'm thinking it'd be good to wait a weekend or so. Get a good amount of people involved.

As an aside, I can always play online Mario Kart 7 or something throughout the week too.

Wah · « **Reply #37 on:** October 23, 2016, 03:30:36 AM »

soz was sick all weekend.

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #38 on:** October 24, 2016, 04:18:24 PM »

So did you guys game last Sat.? I had family visiting so couldn't do it. But if all y'all played some gamage, I am jealous.
What did you get up to and how was it?

Phil · « **Reply #39 on:** October 24, 2016, 04:54:42 PM »

We didn't as we were wanting to get better organized and have more people. Plus I was depressed that night, so I wasn't up for gaming.

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #40 on:** October 24, 2016, 06:44:36 PM »

Ah, gotcha.
Phil, ma man, depression is a powerful mistress. If ever I can help through PM or something, please reach out. The reality is, I don't check much on weekends but the invitation stands. You never know what could help.

Take care, man. Hope you're feeling a little better this day, and all days.

And nights. And mid-afternoons. And early mornings. And mid-mornings right after a decent breakfast with stout sausages and strong coffee and maybe a little cornbread or a hot buttered scone, maybe.
Uh, I've apparently gotten off topic now ...

Phil · « **Reply #41 on:** October 24, 2016, 09:44:17 PM »

Thankfully it was just an evening occurrence. Never lasts the whole day. I'm back to my usual fun-loving self!

Thanks, though, Fatty! I enjoy talking to NWR peeps via message anytime, so hit me up whenever!

Anyhow, would love to set up a big time NWR forum event for a game night-- just don't know how to get attention to it.

Wah · « **Reply #42 on:** October 25, 2016, 07:32:43 PM »

Most people are really busy this time of year, I would love too, but getting the word out is a problem, that's why I like steam you can invite people and set up chats same as Skype and you get notified of convo's going on.

Stratos · « **Reply #43 on:** October 25, 2016, 10:23:15 PM »

Sorry for not making it the other night. Wife came home feeling sick so I made her soup. I'll be down for the next one though!

Mop it up · « **Reply #44 on:** October 26, 2016, 02:30:02 PM »

Sheesh, seems like everyone was some kind of sick over the weekend. I hope you all feel better soon!

Quote from: Fatty_The_Hutt on October 24, 2016, 04:18:24 PM

So did you guys game last Sat.?

I don't think so. I kept checking in, but I found other people to play with instead.

"sexy Waluigi cosplayer"
"looking for hot kids"

These too titles right after the other cracks me up so bad.

Just doing my job. And I like doing my job. It's the only one where, the more I drink while doing it, people praise my performance instead of rolling their eyes at me, sending me to "rehab", or, in one case, blackmailing me to help them cover up a murder they committed. Needed to do a lot more drinking on the job after that last one.

Oedo · « **Reply #52 on:** October 27, 2016, 11:47:37 PM »

I can probably play on Saturday again. Also, if anyone wants to jump on a two or three player game like Smash 4 Wii U/3DS, Splatoon, Monster Hunter Generations, Tri Force Heroes, etc. for a short while late on weekday evenings, I could probably pull that off some days as well.

Phil · « **Reply #53 on:** October 28, 2016, 08:48:52 PM »

I'd love to play some Mario Kart 7 or Tri Force Heroes!

Phil · « **Reply #54 on:** November 03, 2016, 04:12:18 AM »

Nobody wanted to play. Phil has failed yet again.

Oedo · « **Reply #55 on:** November 03, 2016, 02:37:04 PM »

I was hoping one more person would show up so we could play Tri Force Heroes. I haven't played any of the stuff included in the update and I'm pretty sure I didn't even finish the last world and a lot of the optional challenges, so there's still a lot of that game I wouldn't mind playing.

Mop it up · « **Reply #56 on:** November 03, 2016, 04:33:39 PM »

Last weekend was Halloween weekend so it wasn't good for me, but I should be good to go this time. Tri Force Heroes is one of my fave 3DS games, so I'd love to give it a go again!

Stratos · « **Reply #57 on:** November 05, 2016, 09:50:53 AM »

My sister has a play tonight so I'll be no-go. But we'll make this happen soon enough.

Phil · « **Reply #58 on:** February 21, 2017, 12:09:24 AM »

We should definitely all plan something for maybe when Mario Kart 8 Deluxe launches or some other big online Switch game!

Stratos · « **Reply #59 on:** February 21, 2017, 01:10:02 AM »

We could try to be on the Splatoon 2 global test fires together.

Phil · « **Reply #60 on:** February 21, 2017, 01:15:05 AM »

I hope our family has a Switch by then!

Stratos · « **Reply #61 on:** April 02, 2017, 06:20:19 PM »

I'm actually free most of the evening tonight if anyone wants to play. I need a breath from Breath of the Wild and would love to play something else.

Would especially like to get some Monster Hunting started in any version, as I've been away form that for a long time, and the bigger battles in BotW got me itching for more monster action.

Mop it up · « **Reply #62 on:** April 02, 2017, 06:41:06 PM »

A while ago, Khushrenada mentioned something about maybe playing online games next month, which now means this month. Maybe he'll step up too...?

I'd probably be game for anything myself.

Stratos · « **Reply #63 on:** April 02, 2017, 07:50:52 PM »

Gonna go for a drive/get dinner in a bit and then I'll check back in with you. Maybe we can get something together.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #64 on:** April 03, 2017, 12:46:45 AM »

Sorry. Only getting around to this thread now. Had some out of town relatives come through and met up with them for supper so timing wasn't going to work for me. But then I'm not tired of BotW yet either....

Stratos · « **Reply #65 on:** April 03, 2017, 02:36:56 AM »

Yeah, I take a break from BotW whenever I drain the battery, and by the time it is charges I'm all ready to dive into it again.

Mop it up · « **Reply #66 on:** April 03, 2017, 08:17:45 PM »

Nothing happened anyway. I guess that was one long dinner. Phooey!

Phil · « **Reply #67 on:** April 04, 2017, 03:23:02 PM »

We should definitely do something for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, if others are getting it. My brother and I have purposefully not been playing the Wii U original because of the upcoming Switch release.

Stratos · « **Reply #68 on:** April 04, 2017, 08:41:43 PM »

I already wasn't playing it due to time constraints and a lack of local competitors to play with. So it will probably feel very fresh to me. I'm thinking I'll sell off my Wii U edition to a friend who is getting a used system soon.
