    It will be an important role for someone to take out whoever has the roller(s), probably a sniper. I can see it being balanced once teams work out a strategy. Thank you Mark, I'll have a go with gyro controls turned off. I'm sure I'll prefer it.

    I managed quite well without the roller, by getting up high and covering ground from there, whist taking out the roller as soon as it showed up. A team of four rollers might be a different story. I'm sure the best teams will end up having a mix. Yes, Mario Karts is going to have to take a back seat.

    Well, I'll start with Amiibo's and say we collect them to put on the shelf. If they unlock a little bonus in games, like extra costumes in MK8, that's a bonus great. They are not essential to most games, although Mario party did have a whole section locked away by them. This was game boards, and a way to play the game that was more like older versions of the game. So that was not so good.
