Punching Up, Episode 10 | The Swan Song Year for the Nintendo Switch
Added 2023-09-19 16:00:05 +0000 UTCThe Nintendo Direct makes clear that we are nearing the end of the Switch life cycle, but there's still a lot of meat on the calendar. It's a lot of remakes, rereleases and remasters like Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Paper Mario A Thousand Year Door, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, all strong signals that their big teams are working on new projects. But Princess Peach Showtime! shows that Nintendo is still experimenting with new gameplay formats. Also we take a lot of questions and comments from the community, including whether we're a family-friendly show, and our favorite gaming composers of all time. Enjoy the show!

2023-09-21 17:44:37 +0000 UTCThe first Mario vs Donkey Kong on the GBA is really fantastic. It's an indirect sequel to DK94 on the gameboy, which I need to play some day. Bring it to NSO Nintendo.

2023-09-20 15:04:18 +0000 UTCSteam deck is always mentioned and recommended, but no one ever mentions the Rog Ally. For people who want a little more power, better screen and not be locked exclusively to steam store it's great! Being a Windows 11 OS I've got steam, EA app, Xbox gamepass, emulators (even switch if you wanna delve into that rabbit hole) and whatever else you can think of! It's even great as a Portal too I've got PS remote play on it too

2023-09-20 08:19:14 +0000 UTCGene park having some serious "juvenoia". People all through time think that generations before them are somehow in trouble. Even Socrates thought the next generation sucked. But it is just people forgetting what it was like to be young.
