Episodes

Season 2 Episode 41: We're Live! 25.05.2021

Tyler and I recorded for the first time in person and we did it without distracting one another....Big W. Oh yeah we talked about some gachas, amiibo paywall, Mario Warriors game (lmao), Age of Calamity DLC, and we pitched Video Game movie ideas. We'd be great directors is what I gathered from that. *Timestamps* 0:00 - Advertisement + Introduction 4:20 - Gacha updates 12:50 - Fast Travel Locked Be...

Season 2 Episode 40: The Fire Emblem Episode 18.05.2021

Our actual episode this week is somewhere in the Skype database but we only have 18 seconds of it. So, enjoy this backup episode with ARandomGamersCorner on all things Fire Emblem!  *Timestamps*  0:00 - Introduction  1:58:08 - Genealogy of the Holy War remake rumors  Songs Used: - Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light Theme, Conquest Ablaze (Fire Emblem: Awakening),...

Season 2 Episode 39: Hypothetical Battles W/Smash Bros Context! 11.05.2021

I presented Tyler eight evenly matched fighters and we discussed who would win in the lore of the Super Smash Brothers world. It was fun, and funny discussing what exactly has occurred in Smash Brothers lore. Before that, we talked New Pokemon Snap not hitting one million sold (yet) and put on our economics hats and tackled Nintendo's latest fiscal year summary. They made money. A lot of money. *T...

Season 2 Episode 38: Imagining Nintendo's Mute Protagonists on the Big Screen 04.05.2021

Apologies in advance, but allergies had Tyler and I in a chokehold. Him the sniffles and I the drowsy medicine, but we powered through. New Pokemon Snap has a mixed reception and maybe that's because new players don't really know what Pokemon Snap is. Nintendo said they'll pursue animation projects beyond the Mario movie, which got us thinking: What IPs could pull that off? Miitopia demo, our favo...

Season 2 Episode 37: What Makes A Successful Gaming Franchise? 27.04.2021

"Take Two....and Action!" DR. IVO ROBOTNIK IS A PATRIOT BROTHER. HE BLEEEEEDS THE RED, WHITE, AND THE BLUE BROTHER! Sorry, I don't know what came over me. We've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem Heroes and New Pokemon Snap releases this week. How will it do? Better then Age of Calamity, we think. What would be the best indie rep in Smash Brothers that isn't Steve, what makes the franchises we know...

Season 2 Episode 36: What Are Our Coolest Gaming Moments? 20.04.2021

Indieworld was announced the second this episode got scheduled to release. We still talked about it. Titanfall is coming to Apex Legends and Tyler finally beat Monster Hunter Rise. After all of that, we give some of our coolest gaming moments, things we experienced within the game or things we actually played through and did in the game. I'll say it: Video games provide cool moments. *Timestamps*...

Season 2 Episode 35: Remasters, Remakes, Personalities, and Sothis 13.04.2021

Sonic Colors is rumored to be getting a remaster. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn are rumored to be getting remakes. Metroid Prime 4 is rumored to be in development. Guess which one of those is the lie. Tyler and I took a personality test based on our video game preferences and we couldn't be more different. Finally, Brock loves Fire Emblem: Three Houses but seems to have trouble re...

Season 2 Episode 34: We Pitched a Mario and Sonic Game 06.04.2021

I don't even know where to start. Not much to say other than Tyler asked me to pitch a game and boy oh boy did I ever. It might be the best Mario and Sonic + Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus, Kirby, Splatoon, Super Monkey Ball, and Yakuza game ever. *Timestamps* 0:00 - Introduction + Advertisement 17:00 - The Mario and Sonic game pitch 56:45 - How many Pokemon could you name in one hour? Songs Used: Wii Sh...

Season 2 Episode 33: Monster Hunter Rise'in to the Top of the Charts + Ranking Video Game Character "Swag" 30.03.2021

Monster Hunter Rise in just three short days has shipped four million copies and had a bigger opening weekend in Japan then Animal Crossing. Woah. Super Nintendo (Mario) World opened and we are already discussing franchises that could be turned into theme parks so it really is Super NINTENDO World. We read a Monster Hunter soapbox, ranked swag on video game characters, and gave some game suggestio...

Season 2 Episode 32: We've Been Hoodwinked + Mobile Game Culture 16.03.2021

"We have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, let a stray, run a muck, and flat out deceived." - Stephen A Smith Our "friends" teamed up and decided to tear our Pokemon Starters tier list to the ground....awesome. Just for that I'm ordering a Chikorita plush to spite them. Besides that we had a rather light episode, with much of the discussion being about mobile games place in the gaming landscape, which...

Season 2 Episode 31: Guess That Exclusive! (Nintendo Switch Pro Edition) 09.03.2021

Tyler really doesn't want 3rd party exclusives on a $400 console. I don't blame him. Pyra/Mythra are now officially in Smash Brothers and good golly they are fun to use. Nintendo Switch Pro rumors are heating up, including that some 3rd and maybe even 1st party exclusives may hit the system AND that it's a matter of when, not if it gets announced. Super Nintendo (Mario) World opens next week in Ja...

Season 2 Episode 30: All Time Video Game Weapons Draft W/Brock and ARandomGamersCorner! 05.03.2021

This episode was a ton of fun. Shoutout to Brock, that guy shows up and gives 100% everytime. Shoutout to ARandomGamersCo, a new but awesome podcast. We look forward to doing more in the future and I really hope you all enjoy it! *Timestamps* 0:00 - Introduction 4:14 - Rules and rundown 6:00 - 1st Overall Pick Songs Used: Just Desserts (Final Fantasy 7 Remake) Podcast Information: Gmail: switchitu...

Season 2 Episode 29: Back to the Sinnoh Onc...Wait, Twice More? 02.03.2021

7 year old Kolby and Tyler absolutely loved that Pokemon Presents. 19 year old Kolby and Tyler also absolutely loved that Pokemon Presents. Why? Because Meganium was in it, duh! Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are finally real and are coming to Switch, but not without questions. Gamefreak decided to dive into the "How can we make a Breath of the Wild game?" with Pokemon Legends: Arceus...

Season 2 Episode 28: Oh Yeah, We Are Back 23.02.2021

Oh hey guys, another dry we...(Pokemon encounter music starts playing)..! Oh my goodness, a wild Nintendo Direct! That's right baby, we had a real Direct and it was glorious, albeit Twitters thoughts. Pyra and Mythra in Smash is cool, Mario is on the links again, Skyward Sword HD is $60, and Splatoon 3! Twitter also has been debating Mario 3D World + Bowsers Fury vs Mario Odyssey and we decided to...

Season 2 Episode 27: Mario is Through with Bowser and his Son 16.02.2021

From this day forward, Mario is tolerating 0% of the Bowser family shenanigans. Bowsers Fury is an incredible 3D Mario experience and is worth the go for old and new players. Nintendo freshened up some trademarks on old Zelda titles which leads us to believe a 3D Collection is on the horizon (yuck). Post Malone is the main event for a Pokemon virtual concert and he cost so much that they won't be...

Season 2 Episode 26: 3 Spots Left, Infinite Possibilities, Who Makes the Fighter Pass 2 Cut? 09.02.2021

Monster Hunter rep, Paper Mario, Master Chief, (gulp) Jonesy, the options really are endless for Sakurai and the gang. Breath of the Wild 2 rumors suggest a Q2 release and we tell you why you shouldn't believe it. Netflix mentioned a live action Zelda series and Nintendo heads sunk that ship instantly, along with claymation Starfox. But hey, Sonic Prime! We were a little low on content this week,...

Season 2 Episode 25: The Nintendo Switch is a Successful Console 02.02.2021

And 79.87 million people agree. Wandavision is awesome and normies don't like it. Bowsers Fury takes 6 hours to beat but it'll be a fun 6 hours. Festivale hits Animal Crossing: New Horizons and all we know is that a giant peacock is hosting it so that's pretty cool. Q1 for Nintendos Financial year draws to a close and we get an updated look at hardware and software numbers. Also, people are saying...

Season 2 Episode 24: Which Fire Emblem Characters Would We Cut From Smash and What Happened on Mt. Silver? 26.01.2021

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is the best selling, and best Musou/Dynasty Warriors game ever. It's been one year since Byleth in Smash (#HoesMad) so we discussed how many representatives should Fire Emblem have and who would we cut. A website ranked Pokemon Sw/Sh characters, our podcast friend Brock asked us some questions, and what happened on Mt. Silver? Did it happen? Who won? Was there even...

Season 2 Episode 23: We Correctly Tiered All 24 Starter Pokemon 19.01.2021

Bowser is on steroids and we kept mistaking Sunshine for Odyssey (sorry Sunshine fans). New Pokemon Snap looks amazing and it will be the game that gets Nintendo out of bankruptcy, as Tyler put it. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remake rumors are a blaze which leads us to believe they won't actually happen. To close we told you why Chikorita is actually the best starter. Also, wouldn't Lets Go Sinnoh b...

Season 2 Episode 22: RIP Nintendo Directs (2011-2021) 12.01.2021

Nintendo Directs are dead (not really, but we think they are!). With so much expected of everyone's favorite Japanese game company this year, we all wonder how we'll get the information we are starving for. Maybe Nintendo Directs, maybe random video drops, Tik Tok? We were wondering, so we even read a Nintendo Life soapbox on it! A demo came out. That is always cool. And finally, shoutout datamine...

Season 2 Episode 21: Happy Anniversary Zelda and Metroid and Pokemon and Kid Icarus and everyone! 05.01.2021

Happy New Year everyone! With a new year comes anniversaries, and boy oh boy does Nintendo have a lot of them this year. We talked about a whole lotta that and gave you guys the rundown of our Pokemon Nuzlockes.
