The June Nintendo Direct has come and gone, giving Nintendo Switch owners more reasons to keep their devices charged this fall. On this week's episode of The Pow Block Podcast, Edward and Corey discuss the biggest news and takeaways from the recent Nintendo Direct, the new figures from Smile Fest 2024, Limited Run Games' slew of new physical releases, and what to expect from the Switch in the coming months.

Later, they debate the question of physical vs. digital video games as some recent notable titles like Hi-Fi Rush, Alan Wake II and Senua's Saga: Hellblade II did not receive mainstream physical editions. This debate was recently discussed in a Boss Rush Banter by contributor Shane Kelly. Many listeners may have noticed that some larger third party Switch releases are also released as a code-in-a-box at retail. Finally, the group answers listener questions posed in The Boss Rush Network Discord and Patreon posts.
