NWR Connectivity

Recorded just hours after the Indie World Showcase, John and Alex highlight a few games before discussing the weird sequel-based hype cycle around indie titles. They follow this up with an in depth discussion of how Nintendo probably didn't tell their investors they were terrified to make a new system. Things wrap on with some listener mail in which they pontificate on what console developers would be willing to share their exclusives.

Neal gives his impressions of Switch Sports prior to its online functionality clicking on. He's holding off on scoring the game until he can play all its modes (though that didn't stop the rest of the internet) but he still has plenty to say about the offline experience. But that's not all, Neal has been busy! He's also been playing Bugsnax in its new Switch form, along with Parkasaurus. John meanwhile needs to correct some commentors on his Star Wars: The Force Unleashed review who he feels wildly misunderstand the relationship between Anakin and Palpatine, which leads into a mild Star Wars tangent. The fellas cover a couple of recent news stories including Splatoon 3's release date and the Mario movie's delay before digging into some listener mail.

Neal is off this week but John and Alex have plenty of news stories to get through. Nintendo faces workplace allegations and Sega faces graph making difficulty. Xenoblade 3 cares not for your puny human release dates and there may be an assortment of new platforms coming to NSO in the near future.

After taking a week off, Neal and John were surprised to find their show had somehow gained several episodes, and people were disappointed in their Castlevania takes. Someone has to be held accountable and Alex was closest. But beyond that we play and reviewed a whole bunch of games including MLB The Show 22, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and Chrono Cross. We even find time for a little listener mail.

As Konami continues to bring more and more Castlevania games into the modern era (and seemingly doing everything they can to not make a new one), our Castlevania Advance Collection Game Club begins! And strangely, no one was willing to join our hosts to talk about the first ever portable Castlevania title: Circle of the Moon.

It's a racing themed episode this week with a few small detours along the road. Neal revisits Chocobo GP in its hellish post-launch state, and both John and Neal revel in F-Zero X's release on NSO. John returns to No Man's Sky on Playstation VR to prepare for the Switch version comparison. The Zelda inspired Tunic also launched on Xbox shortly before recording and John manages to get in some early impressions. Finally with new tracks arriving for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the fellas decide to come up with a top three ranking of the best Mario Kart games?
