Nintendo Voice Chat

In a VERY surprising Nintendo Direct, Star Fox 64 is getting the remake treatment with a brand new Switch 2 game simply dubbed, Star Fox. This remake is a complete overhaul of the original with brand new graphics and cutscenes as well as mouse controls, an expanded campaign mode, challenge mode, and a very strange but VERY nintendo AR mode where you can turn your face into one of the games pilots for online play across GameChat. Nick and Brian give all their thoughts and reactions to one of Nintendos most suprising and abrupt announcements in years.

This weeks show was hosted by Brian Altano and Nick Limon, it was produced by Nick Maillet

We’re living the dream this week on Nintendo Voice Chat, as the next Tomodachi Life entry is finally here. Join Logan Plant, Brian Altano, Seth Macy, and Miranda Sanchez as Logan and Miranda talk about their 35+ hours in Nintendo’s quirky, hilarious life sim. From the huge fight between Samus Aran and Reggie Fils-Aimé, to the best things we created just to see what would unfold, we talk about our favorite parts of Living the Dream. The game is a blast, but its lack of sharing Miis, creations, and screenshots puts a dark cloud over the whole thing.
