This Nintendo Life (TNL)

Hey everyone! It's almost that time of the year again when we finally hear about all the big new video games that Nintendo are cooking up, and we're here to prepare you all for the E3 showcase! But first we have some games to discuss. Both Bally and Nbz have been checking out The Wild At Heart, an indie take on Pikmin that is delightful. Nbz has also finished up the second Famicom Detective Club game, The Girl Who Stands Behind. After the break it is time to get into the E3 spirit by laying down some Nintendo predictions for the show and speculating about what they will announce,  before closing with some listener predictions!

Hey everyone, Happy New Year! In the first episode of 2018 we have a lot to get through. Bally kicks us off with his closing thoughts on Super Mario Odyssey after getting every moon in the game, and then also discusses a game he's been sitting on for a while, Stealth Inc 2! Nbz meanwhile got back into the new modes and additions made to Splatoon 2, and also talks about Rive: Ultimate Edition on Switch and Dragon Warrior for Game Boy. An eclectic list for sure! After the break we return with our predictions segment where we look back on what we predicted in 2017, make more predictions for 2018 and also check in with your emails for some more predictions!

Hey folks, we're back! Its getting close to the big 200 but first we must talk about the big Nintendo game of the moment with Mario Golf: Super Rush. Both Nbz and Bally have been playing it and certainly have a lot of thoughts to deliver. Nbz has also been playing the latest Smash Bros character with Kazuya Mishima from the Tekken series, as well as taking a brief look at Pokémon Unite from the Japanese e-shop. After the break we tackle some of your emails on Nintendo and Politics as well as making a tough choice of which Nintendo franchise to bring back (for a price).

Hey folks! This week the long wait for a full Nintendo Direct continues, but at least we know more about Animal Crossing. We kick things off with a jam packed what we've been playing, in which Bally talks about Ori & The Blind Forest & Vitamin Connection as well as dropping a surprise on Nbz live on air. Nbz meanwhile has played plenty of games including: Mighty Switch Force, Awesome Pea, Minit, Rhythm Thief & Bloodroots! So many games! After the break we answer some e-mails about replaying old games as well as another reassessment of the Virtual Console and Nintendo's handling of old games. We close things out chatting about all the news from the recent Animal Crossing Direct as well as Yacht Club's presentation!

Hey everyone! This week Bally finished up Celeste and is still blown away by it, while also being captivated by the first 3 hours of Octopath Traveler thanks to the prologue demo! Meanwhile Nbz played the recently released Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit, a free prequel to Life is Strange 2, as well as revisiting a PS2 classic Devil May Cry through the HD collection! After the break we dive deep into one of the most underlooked Wii games, Punch Out!! We talk in depth about all aspects of Next Level's retro revival and how much we enjoyed it!

Hey everyone! This week Nintendo dropped a big Direct bomb and we're here to talk about it! Before we do that though we have some thoughts on the biggest battle royale around at the moment, Apex Legends! Nbz has also been playing Battle Chef Brigade, an awesome anime/cooking/combat/puzzle game that really doesn't sound like it would work, but sticks the landing in a ton of great ways. After the break we do indeed break down the Nintendo Direct with thoughts on Mario Maker 2, Link's Awakening, Astral Chain, Fire Emblem Three Houses and more! Remember our next Backlog Club game is Luigi's Mansion so get playing and we'll be discussing it soon!

Hey folks! I hope you're all doing well out there in our current crazy world! Hopefully the global pandemic has given you more time to spend on video games, as it certainly has done that for Nbz and Bally. We kick things off with a big discussion on the latest and greatest from Nintendo, Animal Crossing New Horizons and how it has taken over our lives. The boys also checked out the demo for Bravely Default 2 and Bally closes out Ori & The Will of the Wisps. After the break we have a bunch of news from 2 Nintendo broadcasts namely the Nintendo Direct Mini and the Indie World presentation. Lots of news, lots of games and lots of time!

Well here we are everyone, E3 is just round the corner and we are here to provide all the pre-show hype! First up though we talk about some video games. Bally has finally and somewhat unbelievably finished Xenoblade Chronicles. The end may have been a slog, but he did it! We then discuss the single player of Splatoon and its merits, before Nbz writes a love letter to The Witcher 3 which is a big challenger for his game of the year. After the break we dive into E3 mania! We kick off by reviewing our predictions from last year, before moving onto making new ones. After that we read some of your e-mails which contain many interesting predictions as well. Next week we will be brining you an E3 special directly after the Nintendo Digital Event, so keep your eyes peeled to your podcast feeds! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey everyone! This week on the show Bally talks about the quirky puzzle platformer Thomas Was Alone, and has some interesting thoughts on the way it weaves a narrative. Nbz meanwhile is back in familiar territory with the new Fire Emblem games, Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia! After the break we answer e-mails on Mario Kart DLC and Online multiplayer support for virtual console titles, before closing things out with a review of the ARMS Nintendo Direct and our first impressions of ARMS with the Global Testpunch! E3 is coming very soon, so be sure to send us your predictions for next time! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com 

Hey everyone! As we mentioned on the last episode of the show, we would be putting up one of our bonus episodes from Patreon this week for you all to take a listen to and get a taste of what we do as extras for the show! We recorded this episode over a year ago when Nbz was visiting Bally in Brussels and therefore the sound quality is a bit worse than usual, as we are both using one microphone, but the discussion was really fun and we thought you'd enjoy listening to this one the most! We will be back next week with the regular show, but hopefully you enjoy this in the meantime as a bonus! If you want more like this, head over to our Patreon where you can get all the TNL Ranks episodes for $2!

Hey everyone, welcome back to the show! This week both Nbz and Bally are still balls deep in Octopath Traveler and both their opinions have developed since we last talked about it. They also played some of the recently gone free to play Paladins on Switch as well as a bit of Fortnite! Nbz also picked up the first Mega Man Legacy Collection and has gone through 1 and 2 and has started Mega Man 4! After the break we answer some of you e-mails about public perception of video games and whether we ever feel the burn out of playing games. We close things out with a long discussion of the 10 games we're most excited about for the rest of the year on all platforms!

What we've been playing covers a bunch of Pikmin 3 from Bally, and first impressions of Titanfall from Nbz. The boys then move on to the Nintendo Direct that happened recently and finally wrap things up with a segment detailing their top three experiences on the Wii U so far! Be sure to send listener mail to the adress: NYPPQuestions@gmail.com

Hey everyone! This week we return to chat about video games! Fancy that. Bally kicks things off with INK, a podcast favourite from a few years ago that can best be described as the love child of Super Meat Boy and Splatoon. Nbz follows up with discussion of his second Fire Emblem Three Houses run, and how he's been blasting through repeated sections at the gym. He also fell down the hole that is Slay the Spire and waxes lyrical about this rogue like card game that is easily one of the best games of the year. We come back after the break to talk about our mentality for actually getting ourselves to play through lots of video games and how Nintendo is positioning themselves for the blue ocean market with the Switch. We then jump into our discussion topic for the show, Switch ports, their history and their future! With Witcher 3 and Overwatch on the platform we've hit a major milestone in terms of the possibilities for the platform so we take a look back at how we got here.

Metroid Dread is real. It's REAL. A video game. You can play it. Why aren't you playing it right now? Why are you reading this podcast description instead of basking in the warm glow, the shining bliss, the godly rays of Metroid Dread. Metroid Dread is that feeling you get on a cold winter's night huddled up to the fire. It's the sweet smell of honey on an autumn breeze, the taste of melted butter on a fresh piece of toast. Metroid Dread exists and so do you. Let's talk about it.

Hey everyone! After the onslaught of information that was E3, we are finally back with the show, and BOY do we have a lot to talk about. We kick things off with Bally who has been hopping and bopping around Zelda land in Cadence of Hyrule, which was recently released on Switch. He also checks in with some Star Wars VR, takes the stage for his Kingdom Hearts minute and closes thoughts on Steam World Quest. Nbz meanwhile has been in the Game Pass afterglow and has been checking out a bunch of games on the service, including Super Lucky's Tale (which is headed to Switch), Forza Horizon 4 and finally The Gardens Between. But that's not all folks, as Nbz backed Bloodstained Ritual of the Night years ago he finally gets his hands in the game and is more impressed that he expected to be! After the break we do a big old E3 discussion, chatting about the Treehouse as well as our predictions and some of your thoughts on E3 overall.

Nbz and Bally discuss their time with the Splatoon beta! Also, I think we talk about not being able to customise your controls, but in fact you can! We just didn't notice the option at the time.

It's 6 months late, but finally here we are with a Fire Emblem Three Houses Spoilercast. We welcome Devon from Emblemcast to the show to discuss everything Fire Emblem, as well as some other things. If you want to hear chat on other games, but not want to be spoiled on Fire Emblem, skip to 1:50:26 and hear takes on Dead Cells, Ori & Return of the Obra Dinn!

Hey everyone, we're back and we've got a lot of video games to talk about! We kick things off talking about the latest Smash Bros DLC with Pyra/Mythra being added to the game and they may be one of our favourite additions yet! Bally meanwhile has been making his way through the original Spyro The Dragon on Switch, a classic he didn't grow up with but certainly has some nostalgia for. We then discuss the version of Apex Legends that released on Switch and how pleasantly surprised we are by it's quality! After the break we answer emails about collectors editions of games and Zelda art styles before closing things out with a discussion of our game trade games - Code Name STEAM and Rhythm Heaven Megamix!

It's our final podcast of the year, and it's time to talk about the final Star Wars thing of the year as well, The Mandalorian! Enjoy!

Hey everyone! This week Bally got another taste of some PS4 action with Enter the Gungeon before giving his thoughts on one of the Nintendo Humble Bundle games: Nano Assault Ex. Nbz follows up with 2 Nintendo classics that Bally has been bugging him to play for ages, Pikmin 3 and Link's Awakening! After the break we answer a couple of e-mails before wrapping up E3 in our final segment with special guest John Bernardo! Unfortunately there were some audio problems with the last segment, but if you want to follow John on twitter you can find him at @johnsbernardo! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey everyone! We're back and in the home stretch towards the end of the year! That means the video games are happening, none moreso than Luigi's Mansion 3. Both Nbz and Bally have finished the game and they go in depth with their thoughts on everything from structure to mechanics to how much pizza Mario can handle. In what we've been playing we discuss spoiler free opinions, but stick around till the end of the show if you've finished as well because we talk all about the various areas and bosses in spoiler filled detail. The boys have also been having a lot of online multiplayer fun with Nidhogg 2, a great fighting/platforming game that is as rage inducing as it is delightful. Nbz closes the section out with this thoughts on Terry Bogard in Smash Bros and the love that went into this latest DLC character. After the break we answer you e-mails on why more developers don't make Zelda style games, why don't AAA games have more puzzles, and whether Link's Awakening's game design is actually outdated. We then close things out with a spoiler discussion on Luigi's Mansion 3, so don't worry if you've not finished the game yet, you can pause it after segment 2 and come back for it later!

Hey everyone! It's that time of the year once again, when everyone shouts about the best video games that came out this year...but not quite yet for us! We kick things off with a discussion on Smash Bros Ultimate after its recent release and our thoughts on the single player, the online and everything inbetween. After the break we dive headfirst into our GOTY extravaganza, starting with some of your favourite games that didn't come out this year, before moving on to our individual top 10 lists for the best games we played in 2018 that didn't come out this year! It's a whole lot of fun and we hope you enjoy listening as much as we did talking about the old games we loved the most in 2018. Next episode will be our top 5 Nintendo games of the year, so stay tuned for part 2 of our GOTY discussion!

Hey everyone! This week the audio is a little rougher than usual as we recorded this show on location in Washington DC! There are car noises and drills here and there but hopefully you'll be able to make it through. We kick things off by discussing what we've been doing in America, if you'd like to skip to the video game chat go to 18:45! We talk about what we've been playing including Mario Maker 2 story mode, Astral Chain and Banjo-Kazooie in Smash Bros. We then give you a very delayed reaction to the most recent Nintendo Direct discussing Xenoblade Definitive Edition, Overwatch, Jedi Knight 2 and more! We'll be back next week discussing our next Backlog Club, Wave Race 64, so send in your thoughts and we'll read them on the show!

Hey folks! This week we kick things off with a long awaited discussion - Bally has finally played Chrono Trigger. We discuss why it took him this long to play through one of gaming classics and his views on how its aged. Nbz and Bally have both played a bit of Ghost of Tsushima, the latest open world game from Sucker Punch, before Nbz closes things out with chat on Bug Fables, a Paper Mario style game that fans of the original really want to pay attention to. After the break we answer your emails on the Ultimate version of a Nintendo franchise and our favourite depictions of food in video games. We close things out with a franchise draft for Nintendo and place some stakes on the line!

Hey everyone! We're back to talk about more video games. Nbz kicks things off finishing up his saga through the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy by discussing Crash 3: Warped, in many ways the most ambitious of the original Naughty Dog games. Bally then follows up with a game Naughty Dog made decades later with The Last of Us, playing it ahead of the impending sequel releasing this year. Nbz then wraps back around to Dead Cells, a game that he has had a major turnaround on and is now obsessed with. After the break we answer some of your e-mails about our "bad opinions" as well as what other console is the best complement to a Switch owner. We close the show out with a big discussion of news topics that include Byleth in Smash Bros, new Fire Emblem DLC, the Pokemon expansion pass and a trailer for Nintendo's first theme park in Japan.

Triforce Assemble! Hey everyone, as you can probably tell this week is all about Nintendo's latest spin off in the Zelda Franchise, namely Triforce Heroes. Both Nbz and Bally have been playing it online and give their take on this fresh new co-op adventure. Will they be able to overcome lag and save the realm? You'll have to listen and find out! Nbz has also been dabbling in a bit of arcade esque fun with Luftrausers on Steam and is pretty happy with the fast paced action of it all. After the break we dive into a few more of your e-mails, before closing out the show with a discussion about Nintendo's new mobile game/app/thing Miitomo, the new account system and club nintendo replacement. Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Strap yourselves in everyone, its a long show this week, and for good reason! This week we have a guest, namely Jon from the Nintenshow podcast to add a different perspective to all things Nintendo. We start the show by talking about what games we've been playing recently, including OlliOlli, Elliot Quest, Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Persona 4 Golden and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D! I told you it was a long one! After discussing these many titles we come back after the break to answer one e-mail regarding the Club Nintendo rewards in North America before transitioning to our retrospective on the Nintendo DS, where we talk launch stories, favourite games and titles we'd love to see released on the DS Virtual Console. There isn't any discussion about the Zelda delay or the latest Nintendo Direct, but if you head on over to Nbz's youtube channel you'll find 2 videos where we break down both of those big stories! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey folks! This week we continue our lockdown podcasting but we've got plenty of video games to take our mind off the world. The boys kick off with an update on Animal Crossing and explain why they have started using spreadsheets. We then get into Streets of Rage 4, one of the surprises of the year and discuss our history with beat-em ups. Bally finally finished Final Fantasy VII Remake we get some final thoughts, before Nbz closes out the segment with Mega Man 5! After the break we answer your e-mails about podcasting and the show, as well as what Nintendo game we would be given certain restrictions. We close the show out with a discussion of Nintendo's recent financial news and speculate on what the rest of the year looks like for the company in these uncertain times.

Hello everyone, and welcome to our first huge milestone episode! We have been doing this podcast for 100 weeks now and this is indeed the 50th episode. And just in time, Bally has finally finished The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! He is pretty happy with one of the most beloved games in history and we have a good chat about the end of his experience. After that we have a long discussion about the new free DLC for Shovel Knight, namely Plague of Shadows. It takes the levels and bosses of the original game and remixes them for a brand new character. Its pretty awesome and both Nbz and Bally are very pleased with the final product. After the break we begin our countdown of our top 50 games of all time. This is a long list and was a lot of fun to put together, so let us know if you enjoyed the format! Finally, thank you very much for listening to this show for the past couple of years. We have had a lot of fun making it and hope to continue long into the future! Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey everyone! This week we are back to a regular show having bombarded your feed with a massive podcast last time. Hopefully you're all caught up because there are a bunch of things to talk about. First things first we talk about the games we've been playing. Bally has taken a break from Fire Emblem to finish up a trilogy he's been working on for a while with Uncharted 3! Nbz meanwhile picked up Platinum's latest Switch exclusive, Astral Chain and has some early thoughts about it. He also played through 2 big indie games that have been talked about in the Switch sphere for a little while, namely Ape Out and Yoku's Island Express. After the break we pick up with some of your e-mails, first discussing if playing a lot of a game in a short period of time affects our enjoyment and then having a fun chat about what Scottish references there will be in Pokemon Sword and Shield. We close things out chatting about a bit of news including the recent Indie World direct and rumours about Overwatch on Switch.

Welcome back folks! This week on the show, Bally keeps trucking through his backlog of Humble Bundle games with Shantae & The Pirate's Curse. Nbz speedran his way through the 4th Ace Attorney game, namely Apollo Justice and offers some most likely unpopular opinions about everyone's Nintendo darling, Super Mario Bros. 3 (p.s. he still likes it...kinda).

Apologies for the change in audio quality at the end. Bally's mic had this horrible popping during his final segment, so I had to pull in the Skype audio instead which is why the quality drops. Hopefully we won't have any problems like this next time!

Bally closes out thoughts on Pokemon Sun, a game which has haunted him for years. He also checks back in with 20 hours of Fire Emblem progress and is getting to grips with it. Nbz meanwhile has unexpectedly been playing another recent Switch release - Dragon Quest Builders 2, as well as dipping into Game Pass on PC with Sunset Overdrive! After the break it is time to rank the best Nintendo games of all time in a big old list! We debate, make deals and backstab each other in our quest to create a list of the Top 50 Games of All Time on Nintendo platforms!

Hey folks! We're back with more podcasting and more Nintendo chat. Nbz kicks things off with Nintendo's newest, hottest release...a remake from the 1980s with Famicom Detective Club! He discusses the first game, The Missing Heir, and how it feels both modern and archaic in equal measure. Bally meanwhile checks in with Abzu, a relaxing underwater game from a few years ago. Nbz closes out the segment with Ori & The Will of the Wisps on Switch and implores everyone to go buy it as it is on sale. After the break we answer your emails on the Nintendo consoles we own and what will happen when the Switch eShop shuts down, before closing things out with a discussion on Giant Bomb's recent departures and reminiscing about our memories from the site.

Hey everyone! We kick things off this week with another Animal Crossing update and checking in with some of the new features Nintendo has been rolling out. Nbz also uses this as a chance to talk about getting new Joy Cons before discussing the Mario Maker 2 shaped hole that he fell down. We also discuss Spyro 2 from the Reignited Trilogy and Cat Girl without Salad, a strange April Fools joke game that has neat ideas. After the break we answer e-mails about what old Nintendo peripheral ideas we'd like to see them return to as well as discussing the current state of Mario spin off titles. We close things out with our hopes and dreams for Breath of the Wild 2 as well as some speculation about what the game will actually be.

Hey folks! This week we've been switching podcast hosts, so the feed is a little wonky at the moment with missing episodes. We discuss this at the start of the show and hopefully it should be fixed soon. In the meantime we have some Nintendo games to talk about! Kicking things off we get into a big discussion of Kentucky Route Zero, a game that has taken literally 7 years to come out. Nbz then chats about Thumper, a violent rhythm game that requires a lot of skill and dexterity. After the break we have a big old second segment going through our thoughts on the Switch after almost 3 years. We grade it in a number of categories including Hardware, 1st Party, 3rd Party, Marketing and Services!

Hey guys! This week on the show Bally has had a lot of time to play video games, so much so that he binged his way through cult classic Zelda-like Okami HD on Switch and is very positive on it! Will it take Wind Waker's throne? You'll have to listen and find out! He's also been playing the recently released strategy rougelike Bad North on Switch and shares his war stories with us. Meanwhile Nbz picked up the sequel to one of this show's favourite games, Guacamelee 2! After the break we dig into some of your e-mails on emulation and e-shop pricing.

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you're all having a good holiday and hopefully this extra long podcast will accompany you on your travels! This week Nbz wraps up Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and then both boys tag team 3 different games! We start with Gorogoa, an out of nowhere gem of a puzzle game on Switch, and then move on to the much beloved SteamWorld Dig 2! We then talk spoilers on The Champions Ballad DLC for Zelda, so if you want to skip that, then go to 44:15 in the podcast! After the break we go into your 2017 GOTY lists before closing things out with a bunch of GOTY categories and our joint Top 5 list! It's been a great year for the show and hopefully next year will be even better.

Editors Note: In the first and third segment of the show Bally's audio is a bit fuzzy. We aren't sure what happened but it should be bearable if not as crisp as usual!

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the show. This week Nbz has indoctrinated Bally into the cult known as Overwatch as the boys have been playing the game non stop on Switch. They've also played a recent indie release, The Last Campfire - a Zelda style puzzle game with a lot of charm. Nbz has also finished Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2, a follow up to the retro Castlevania revival from a few years ago. After the break we answer your questions on our most vaulable video game possessions, as well as our thoughts on the dearth of traditional handheld style games on Switch, before closing the show out with a discussion of the original Fire Emblem release and the continuance of Nintendo's limited release policy.

The time has finally come. Nbz has played Super Mario Sunshine. BUT before that, we have other video game to talk about! This week we are joined once again by Devon from EmblemCast who is here to defend Mario Sunshine alongside Bally. Devon kicks off what we've been playing with Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the most recent Nintendo re-release and has really enjoyed it. He also touches on Bug Fables which Nbz played earlier this year. Meanwhile Nbz is baffled and intimidated by Return of the Obra Dinn, a game that has become somewhat of a darling in recent years while Bally finally ticks another Metroidvania off his backlog with Guacamelee 2! After the break it's time to discuss Mario Sunshine in every aspect possible. The movement, the look, the levels and that gosh darn FLUDD. It's a very chat and we hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone, here are Nbz's Top 10 games of the year! If you want to watch the video version it is linked below. (Note this was originally made for a video format so a lot of the references made are to that directly and not the podcast feed!)

Its Zelda, Zelda, Zelda this week as we break down all our thoughts on A Link Between Worlds!

Hey everyone, this week we have a bit of a mish mash of a show for you! We kick things off with a brief what we've been playing covering some smaller games. Bally talks about Golf Peaks, a neat little puzzle game he picked up with gold coins on the Switch e-shop. Nbz has also been using some My Nintendo coins and grabbed Splash or Crash for 3DS, a game about dropping a stone down a well. After this we answer an email about spoilers in video games and the culture around spoilers generally. When we come back from the break we break down the latest news about Mario Maker 2 from the 15 minute direct, before chatting about Detective Pikachu and all our thoughts on the debut Pokemon movie. We do end up talking spoilers, so when we get to that point, skip to 1:32:00 in the podcast to avoid them!

Hey everyone! This week we welcome another guest to the show: YoFizz! Nbz and Fizz did a couple of podcasts together before, so you may well have heard his voice in other places! We talk about a variety of games in what we've been playing, including Pokken Tournament, Wind Waker HD, Mario Maker, Kirby: Crystal Shards, Advance Wars, Danganronpa 2 & Stardew Valley! After the break we catch up on some of your e-mails, before we close out the show with a discussion about video game streaming and what role Nintendo can play in the streaming world going forward. Remember to send all your correspondence to our E-mail Address: ThisNintendoLife@gmail.com

Hey folks, we're back! It's been a while since we recorded so we have a ton to talk about, including Nintendo's latest release WarioWare: Get It Together that we've both been playing and enjoying. Bally and Nbz have also been diving deep into Axiom Verge 2, the follow up to the cult classic Metroidvania and have a lot of good things to say about it. Nbz meanwhile finally finished the behemoth of a game that is The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve, one which he thinks holds up as a series best, and we close things out with a quick chat about What The Dub, a ridiculous party game that is excellent for stag weekends. After the break we answer your emails about the Game Boy games we want to see come to Switch Online as well as ranking the sales potential of Nintendo's releases for the end of the year. We finish things up with a discussion about how much we spend on video games and the price of the hobby in general, spurred on by a supposed price drop that the Switch is getting in Europe.

Hey everyone! E3 is coming soon so we thought we'd get this episode out early and not make our predictions redundant! Before we predict though, we discuss some games! Bally has finished up Runner3, played the Mario Tennis Aces Demo and played the modern classic Inside! Meanwhile Nbz whipped through Bloodstained Curse of the Moon - a modern classic Castlevania game if ever there was one! After the break we of course talk predictions for E3, while also bringing in some that you sent to us! Look out for our reactions to Nintendo's presentation on Tuesday June 12th and Happy E3!

Hey folks! This week on the show all the Nintendo news keeps coming, even after the big Direct in February. Before we get to news though we dig into what we've been playing starting with Bally who has finished up Wargroove and can't be more happy about it! Nbz meanwhile checked out some of the shadow drops from the recent direct including Tetris 99, the Daemon X Machina demo & the Yoshi's Crafted World Demo. He has also been playing the incredibly weird Pool Panic on Switch. After the break we dig into some e-mails you've sent our way including our thoughts on how to change 2D Mario and what other video games we would create the "Ultimate" version of in light of Smash Bros Ultimate. We then close things out with a discussion on various pieces of news including Reggie Fils-Aime's retirement, rumours of Xbox games and Gamepass coming to Nintendo Switch and finally the big reveal of the latest Pokemon games, Sword and Shield!

Hey everyone! This week the Switch train just keeps on trucking as both Bally and Nbz having been playing the latest portable multiplayer hit, Rocket League! Nbz also talks about Wolfenstein II and how it's narrative pulled him through a genre he otherwise doesn't usually tackle! After the break we answer some more of your emails (send in your GOTY picks for next time!), before closing out the show with a discussion of The Game Awards 2017 and who we think will win the various categories!
