I usually listen on Spotify, but I had to stop by to tell you how much I enjoy your podcast. I've been a Nintendo fan since the NES era and I love listening to your and Caito's take on all things Nintendo. The drive to and from work always goes by so fast while I listen to your show. :) You guys are a great team and I hope you continue to do the Nintendo Drive for a very long time.

What’s not to love about these 2 lovely people?! If you’re a Nintendo fan, I highly recommend this podcast. Not only do Sean’s intros (he’s basically yelling lol) always make me laugh, but Caito’s calming voice soothes my soul at the same time. Not only that but these two know a lot about Nintendo, so give them a listen! You won’t be disappointed!

Coinciding with the launch is the game's first season, 'Welcome to Aeos Island!'. The season battle pass will feature "many rewards", ranging from in-game currency to Holowear. Players are tasked with completing both daily and weekly missions throughout the season to raise their battle pass level and receive rewards based on that level. Additionally, players who purchase the premium pass will have the chance to earn extra rewards, including the Holowear Hip-Hop Style: Pikachu and Captain Style: Cinderace.

Nintendo is gearing up for the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. A new trailer was released last week and since then, Nintendo has highlighted a "Smoother Play Experience" with a variety of Quality of Life enhancements. For example, you'll no longer have to deal with as much chatter from a particular NPC in the game who is teaching you the basics. In addition to the visual enhancements, including running at 60 frames per second, there's now "optional" help from Fi, skippable cutscenes, the ability to fast-forward dialogue, autosave and skippable tutorials. Also, information about items will only pop up once from now on.

The Nintendo Switch (OLED model) arrives on October 8 and will cost $349USD or $449CAN. It features 64GB of internal storage and a 7” OLED screen with a slimmer bezel. The large screen's vivid colors and high contrast deliver a rich handheld and tabletop gaming experience. It features a wide adjustable stand that can be set to your preferred viewing angle for comfortable gameplay in tabletop mode. The Dock is upgraded as well, with two USB ports, a HDMI port for connecting to a TV and a new wired LAN port.

Antix @Antix64: It’s a brilliant purchase for anyone who’s interested in getting a Switch for the first time. The OLED screen is nice, but otherwise there’s not much incentive to upgrade from my current system, especially with the rival consoles out now.

ARGO @ARGO_227: No Bluetooth, no processing upgrade, only 64g storage - makes it a hard pass for me. I’m assuming this will just replace the current model. But if they are working on a ‘pro’, shouldn’t they have announced they are to keep people informed if they want to buy this or wait..

Josh Stapleton @mttgstreetteam

Some nice improvements, but it doesn't match up with all the wild Switch Pro rumors for the last few years. Still though, those were just rumors and on the whole I'm cool with this new version. I'll have a more concise opinion after hearing more in-depth details about it.

Mostly Martinez @MartinezMostly

If you don’t have a need for another Switch might be a harder sell. But if you do need to add an extra Switch to the family it’s a no brainer in my opinion. As my son has pretty much stole mine…I have a good excuse for a little upgrade that I am more than happy with!

Mike Fire Blaze Knight Fire @BlazeKnight0923

Not too exciting for a current Switch owner who already hardly plays Switch. The black and white color scheme is pretty nice though.

Essential Josh @JoshBones

Looks cool. I'm pretty shocked it's not graphically improved at all though. I wonder what the price point will be .
