Sep 21 @ 3:00 pm – 11:00 pm

September is here, and Indie games have taken the Nintendo Switch by storm! So why not dedicate this month’s event to Indies on Nintendo Switch, or as Nintendo likes to call them, “Nindies”?

Starting at 3PM on September 21st, we will be meeting up at Waypoint Cafe, as we celebrate nindies that are on the Nintendo Switch. We will have tons of select games for people to play:

– Pocket Rumble
– Wizard of Legend
– Runbow
– Enter the Gungeon
– Crawl
– Graceful Explosion Machine
– Jackbox Party Pack 1-4
– Use Your Words
– Overcooked 2
– Blade Strangers
– Light Fingers
– Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes
– Flat Heroes
– Human: Fall Flat

And Many More!

We will be rotating each game, so everyone would have a chance to try out different Nindie titles!

To get to Waypoint Cafe, take the D Train to Grand St. From there, it’s a five minute walk to Ludlow St. After you reach Ludlow, make a left turn, and it’s a very short walk. You could also take the F Train to Delancey St. From there, it’s a three minute walk to Ludlow.

Please be mindful, and respect other patrons at Waypoint Cafe, as well as the management. We also urge anyone attending the event not to bring outside food to the venue.

We hope that you are able to join us, as we look forward to having you with us!

Welcome to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate release party at the NYXL pop-up shop in Brooklyn! It’s an honor to work alongside an Overwatch League team to bring events like this to the Tristate Smash community. Let’s let them know exactly how awesome our scene is!

Come drop in any time after 2 pm on the day the game drops to get matches in on one of the 15+ consoles (or bring your own!) to start learning the new game alongside some of NYC’s best players–or just to have fun!

We’ll be giving away cool merch all day, especially to those who unlock characters on the systems ?

If you’re in or around the Brooklyn area, you’re definitely not gonna want to miss this one!

Please don’t hesitate to contact me (Max Krchmar) with any questions or concerns.

Thank you, and hope to see you there!

Nitro Fueled BBQ – Switch & Play NYC Summer BBQ 2019 @ Brooklyn Bridge Park (Pier 5)
Jul 21 @ 12:00 pm – 9:00 pm

The BBQ is BACK once again, and this time, it’s Nitro Fuled!

We will be meeting once again at the Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5, Celebrating Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled! We’re also planning to host the BBQ on Sunday, July 21st, with July 28th as the rain date.

To determine the headcount of how many people are attending, we strongly recommend to set your RSVP notice as “Going”, because marking it as “Interested” is too vague for us. We want to make sure that we will be buying the right amount of food to feed everybody in attendance. If there are extra guests that would like to attend, please let us know, and consider contributing an item to the event.

We will also be keeping track on food, beverages, and other supplies that will be contributed to the BBQ in the form of a Google Spreadsheet. Please note that contributing something will likely factor into food intake for the event, so in the interest of fairness, please consider bringing something, to help the BBQ run smoothly!

Check out the items that are being listed for the BBQ on the spreadsheet, so we don’t end up with a large surplus of items or supplies we don’t need much of, such as bags of chips.

http://tiny.cc/SPNYCBBQ2019

Info on what we plan to do for Crash Team Racing will be coming soon.

[ Directions ]

To get to the Brooklyn Bridge Park – Pier 5, you can take the 2/3/4/5 trains to the Borough Hall stop.

From Borough Hall, head west on Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. That will be a 13-minute walk.

You could also take the N/W/R trains to the Court Street stop. From there, walk to Montague Street, then walk until you reach Clinton Street. Afterwards, you head to Joralemon Street, and keep walking until you reach Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5. This altogether is a 10-12 minute walk.

You could also take the A/C/F trains to the Jay Street/Metrotech stop, but that’s about a 16-17 minute walk.

Once you enter the Pier, we should have seating available with shade. We’ll spend our time chatting, gaming, and of course, eating while our grillmasters will be working the BBQ pits for the day.

If you have any questions on what you would like to bring, feel free to comment! Make sure to fill out the spreadsheet on what you’re planning on bringing with you at the event.
