Played the game on the switch for the first time today. I am REALLY surprised how well it plays on the handheld!!!

That’s exactly how I feel. It’s responsive, where MAME can feel sluggish. A nice surprise!

Caravan mode is maddeningly addictive. I'm 3rd at the moment. Cleared rivets with 4400 on timer and kong was falling as the 5 minutes ran out, so the bonus didn't get added yet  <mad>.

Oh wow - yeah I want to figure out the necessary clear time to figure out if it's actually possible.

Ok clearing 3-4 is definitely possible, but I didn’t do it when I edged you out of third bob.

Kids are playing now so tonight I’ll get more chances to chase ethan and wes. Game on! :)

Thanks, I don't know if you've beaten me yet because I've been out for most of the afternoon. Kids in bed now, I I'll be trying to improve a bit later   :D

Have I finally figured out the best way to play DK on my Switch in portrait mode?  :D

Ha! Nice.

I prefer to play in handheld with the joycons attached. I don't really like playing with a joycon in each hand. 2nd preference is using the "pro" style configuration docked on the big tv.

It was fun to be near the top for a little bit with a couple of half-butt efforts.  It's been fun to mess with some of the different versions and modes, and I have to say it feels very good and very accurate.  I look forward to playing more on the train, while pooping, and on stream.

Yeah, handheld with joy cons attached is my preference too. However, if I could find an easy way to rotate the TV...
