Nintendo News Report

A bilateral panel of Donald and Daan talk about Smash, a game where Santa beats up Jesus, Gris, what Sunsoft did for six freaking years before discovering mahjong games, the FlipGrip, Smash Ultimate 1.2 (plus a glitch?), updates to Overcooked 2 and Stardew Valley, the Kinda Funny Games Showcase, the 1 cent eShop game, too many games, and a possible name change in 2019. Give us folders, you cowards. (Recorded December 14.)

This week, Donald, Justin, and special guest Bryan talk the following: Super Smash Bros Ultimate (early impressions) and The Game Awards* announcements consisting of Persona 5's Joker as DLC #1 for Smash, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 from the combo that brought you Metroid Other M, Mortal Kombat XI gets over here, Donut County (from @PeterMolydeux) is coming to Switch, and so is Crash Team Racing. For some reason. (Music this week is Last Surprise from the Persona 5 soundtrack, and thanks to @DrForester for the album art. Recorded December 7.)

This week, Donald, Justin, and Neal discuss the following: A look ahead to the Keighlies, Pokemon Let's Go, Donald's belligerent and numerous eShop buys on Black Friday, Toki, Smash Bros Ultimate, The Turkey Five, an act of trolling from Eiji Aounuma, WayForward as Tom Henke, and RIPieces to the Nintendo Creator's Program. Recorded November 29, and "spoiler free" refers to the Smash talk specifically.

Donald, Justin, and Zach talk Bug Butcher, Outrun and Outrun tributes, Pokemon Let's Go, the anniversary of everything... ok, two Zelda and two Smash games, the monster Switch and other eShop sales, early returns on Let's Go, and dip into the chatroom for another revival question. Recorded November 21.

Excelsior! (RIP Stan Lee) This week, Donald and Justin talk Let's Go Pikachu, SNK 40th Anniversary, You Don't Know Jack, the ramipercussions of Sony having jack and squat to show at E3 2019, the Detective Pikachu trailer, cheating in Gradius, and because we want Youtube juice Five Nights At Freddy's. Recorded November 16.

Donald and Justin celebrate Youtube's arrival on the Switch by talking about the games we've played, the passing of the original Mario, Sakurai's DLC statement, Nintendo's latest shareholder questions are out, the Switch Online titles have a date, and 40+ games on Switch in one week. Bonus discussion: Farewell, Hajime Tabata. (Original record date: November 9)

It's Donald, Neal, Justin, and Zach talking about Smash Ultimate. And Yoshi's Crafted World, and Switch sales + the first leaks of Black Friday, but it's mostly Smash Ultimate. Also, help Donald out by deciding if Twitter is worth using: http://www.strawpoll.me/16762142 (Original record date: November 1)

This week Donald, Justin, Neal, and Zach talk Diablo III, SNK 40th Anniversary Collection, God of War 2018, Starlink, sales news from the UK and US, Meltan, and a whole lot of chatter about Smash Ultimate in light of rumors that aren't happening. (Original record date: October 25)

Donald and Justin are joined by Daan Koopman to talk about games that are better on Switch - Valkyria Chronicles, Diablo III: Eternal Collection, Starlink, and Dead Cells - then it's the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee postgame content (spoilers for Breath of the Wild, there's a reason), discover a lost Kingdom Hearts game, and ferret out the Switch bundle of choice this year.

Alex has a major announcement at the top of the show, then it's talk about Mega Man 11, Torna, TWEWY: Final Remix, the possibility of a new Switch, more news on Meltan, and the rest of the week in Nintendo news.
