Three men are recovering from gunshot wounds after a video game night turns violent also in Southwest Houston. Houston police say a group of people was playing Nintendo at 10:30 pm. last night at the Sharon Park Village Apartments on Chimney Rock. That's when some kind of altercation occurred and shots were fired. Three adults were hit. They were taken to the hospital. It's unclear how many people may have been involved in the shooting.

All are expected to recover from their injuries.

Sounds like Pokemon Go or Mario Party. Hope everyone is alright.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

They didn't mean a game of THOSE arms!

 

[EliVilla]

One too many blue shells I bet.

 

[Hzsn724]

Goldeneye 64.

Goes without saying but you never know today.. I hope everyone recovers quickly.

 

[Speely]

Hope they recover swiftly :(

Also: Mario Kart Wii

 

[AcademicSaucer]

My bet is on Mario Party

 

[Yukinari]

How far will melee fans go for an HD port?

 

[Kapus]

Why would you take a gun with you to play some Nintendo?

 

[Bakercat]

Mario Party has reached a new level of friend betrayal.

 

[KazuchikaOkada]

Has to be Mario Party

You know it was Mario Kart someone got blue shelled on the last lap. Also they were " playing Nintendo " what year is this.gif.

 

[Amaterasu]

Battle mode was a mistake.

The article makes it sound kind of like they're just using "Nintendo" as a stand in for "video game".

Are we sure it wasn't just CoD or some such?

Bit of a sensationalist headline as usual from Fox. Might as well have been "three men shot over pizza and booze" - or whatever they happened to be doing at the time.

(Also: clearly Rocket League)

No doubt in my mind. Had to be smash.

 

[Ganransu]

Saying "playing Nintendo" is like saying "watching 20th Century Fox", isn't it?

 

[forrest]

Three people ignored the quarry help request. Serves em right!

 

[Tecnniqe]

Those damned blue shells, right?

 

[Daniel Westlake]

Christ, I hope they recover quickly.

 

[Thuddert]

Smash
Mario Kart
Mario Party

That will make anyone mad.

 

[Laughing Banana]

"...was playing Nintendo."

Playing Nintendo? Lol.

 

[yap]

Ditto

 

[Damn Silly]

Exclusive footage of what caused the incident.

Glad to hear they should all recover.

American gun culture is something else.

"I'm going to play videogames, I know I'll bring my gun!"

 

[4859]

I don't know what is more confounding, that Nintendo's clearly impractical eye rolling 'public switch party' nonsense is actually happening in real life, or that somebody brought and used a gun at a playing Nintendo party.

 

[Nintendojitsu]

It was clearly Splatoon 2. Probably over who controlled the most turf.

 

[daTRUballin]

I don't even understand how something like this can happen over a video game session. But I'm sure I've seen stranger things.

 

[Bishop89]

Wouldn't have happened if it was online multiplayer

#teamonline

 

[Forerunner]

I also play Nintendo.

 

[Deleted member 9971]

I know losing against your friends on a Nintendo can be rage inducing but shooting em?

I guess it's either Smash, Party or Kart.

Silly jokes aside i hope they fully recover quite sad to shoot people over a freaking videogame....

 

[Hammee]

Did an elementary school student write that article?

 

[HStallion]

They were playing Eternal Darkness and got scared.

 

[tears in my eyes]

video game salt and guns, yikes

Well we are talking about folks who bring guns to video game night. Chances are there are deeper issues than Mario Kart salt at work here.

"Guns Don't Kill People, Nintendo Game Disagreements Do."
Can't wait for THIS Switch ad.

 

[Swapzism]

Somebody walked in and called Smash a party game.

 

[zephyrcian]

I'm sorry but if it's Animal Crossing I'm going to have to Lol.

 

[StrapOnFetus]

We all know it was either smash or Mario kart
