But GTA6 sure isn't coming to Nintendo Switch, which is fine because we have GTA6 at home! We offer suggestions for alternatives to GTA on the Nintendo Switch, as well as talk about our 2024 Nintendo predictions, what announcements we're excited about from the Game Awards, and read your predictions and questions. Join Reb Valentine, Logan Plant and Seth Macy on USS Friendship for another exciting episode of NVC.

Dive into the latest buzz in the gaming world on today’s episode as we unpack everything from the mysterious new features of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 to Universal Studios' new Donkey Kong Country themed park. We're peeling back the layers on the rumors surrounding the Switch 2—could magnetic Joy-Cons be a game changer, or is it just another piece of wild speculation? As we ponder over what Nintendo might be keeping under wraps, brace yourself for a flood of inevitable fake leaks that might stir the pot even more.
We've got a review discussion for the new Endless Ocean: Luminous game, which unfortunately didn't manage to impress, scoring a lowly 4 out of 10 in our review. What went wrong, and what could this mean for future titles? We also touch on some lighter notes with our Miiverse updates—Reb is on a secret gaming adventure and a scavenger hunt, while Logan and Seth dive into their latest gaming exploits, ranging from Knuckles to Manor Lords.

Someone Got to Feel a Switch 2! - NVC 709

The Nintendo Game Boy turned 35 years old on April 21, first releasing way back in 1989, the same year as Tim Burton's Batman, Back to the Future II and of course, Super Mario Bros. 3 (in Japan). And in a lot of ways, that underpowered, 1-bit handheld defined what Nintendo was for the next 35 years.

We also talk about the Silksong that wasn't in the Indie World showcase as well as take your Nintendo questions.
