Lewis, Andrew, Ben and birthday boy Dan get together to discuss all things gaming, in their own borderline incompetent style. Join us live every Tuesday at 8:30pm UK time and get involved in the chat over at twitch.tv/thecrossplayerslive

Lewis, Andrew, Dan and Rich welcome you to the dawn of a new era and our new flagship show, the CrossCast. Now that we've gone cross-platform and all inclusive, we're even more keen to hear from YOU, so join us live every Tuesday at 8:30pm UK time and get involved in the chat over at twitch.tv/thecrossplayerslive

Join 9 absolute guys as they embark on an epic journey from the salty shores of The Switch Island, in search of new adventure in exotic lands. Will they survive long enough to hoist the CrossCast flag proudly atop this rickety old ship? Or will they succumb to madness and cannibalism? Let's hope not as 3 of them are vegan and thus provide barely any nutritional value. I'm alright though, I've hidd...

Join Lewis, Dan, Ben and Rich for all the usual goofs and gaffs as they debate which console generation beats all others. What do you think? Let us know over on Twitter @TheCrossPlayers PS. We left the Wii U off the artwork for this episode simply to annoy Andrew.

Hot on the heels of the latest Smash fighter being revealed alongside some brand new amiibo, Lewis, Dan, Andrew and Ben discuss which amiibo they'd like to see next. A few gremlins in the stream this time around, right from the intro music onwards but we did our best to make this one listenable. For the full, drop-out filled version you can head over to https://youtu.be/XaFt9P0LbvE to watch the wh...

On this week's show, Lewis, Dan, Mike & Ben take a long, hard look at Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition, as well as Streets of Rage 4 and 51 Worldwide Clubhouse Classic Games. Or whatever it's called.

Hullo there! In the absence of any meaty news, Lewis, Dan, Laurie and Ben get all misty-eyed and look back on the games they loved as kids. They also chat about the games they've been playing this week, including Trials of Mana, Hellblade, Moonlighter and Rocket League. We love interacting with you lovely folks during the show, so come join us live over at twitch.tv/theswitchisland every Tuesday a...

Join the Switch Island numpty boys as they discuss Paper Mario: The Origami King; the games they've been playing and have a cheeky round of Indie in a Bottle, to decide who gets to play another eShop gem.

*deep breath* Lewis, Dan, Ben, Mike, Andrew, Laurie and a lesser spotted Pete come together to celebrate our 50th episode in trademark chaotic fashion. Throw in a bunch of interaction from the lovely folks watching live over at twitch.tv/theswitchisland and we've got ourselves a proper Switch Island knees-up. Thank you to everyone who helped get us this far and here's to the next 50!

Dan, Mike, Andrew and Ben take a look at the latest Nintendo news (spoiler: there isn't any) before dissecting the games they've been playing this week, including ARMS, Streets of Rage 4 and Lonely Mountains: Downhill. Next week it's the big one, episode 50, so we encourage you to join the party at 8:30pm BST on Tuesday, over at twitch.tv/theswitchisland

This week, the guys talk about the crazy Animal Crossing: New Horizons numbers, a Splatfest rebirth, Trials of Mana, Streets of Rage 4, and play a game to determine which chump is going to play the worst reviewed game on the Switch... Enjoy! Please follow your boys on Twitch at http://twitch.tv/theswitchisland and join in while we record this mess, every Tuesday at 8:30pm BST. You can also watch t...

Hey, Good Lookin! No, not you. Excuse me please. Join the boyz from the Island as they pitch their ideal picks for a world in isolation. Wrestle with Dan, Andrew and Steve as they navigate the troubled waters of what Switch games, Film/TV series and F2P game you should be spending your time with during the lockdown. One will emerge from the rubble victorious, a crowning achievement of humanity. Fo...

HULLO THERE! Join Laurie, Dan, Ben and Lewis for for some TSIP goodness. To call this episode extravagant would be a massive overstatement however the lads discuss the newly dropped updates for Super Mario Maker 2 and Splatoon 2. They also graciously fondle the upcoming release of Streets of Rage 4 and in an unprecedented turn of events they even play a new quiz (sound the alarm). Seeing as you’ve...

On this episode Dan and Ben are joined by our good friend and host of the Switch Indie Fix podcast, Adam Phillips. True to form, he picks a classic indie game as his game choice, but it's a divisive one... Follow Adam @switchindiefix and let him know what you think of his choices!

Lewis, Dan and Ben take a break from real world woes for a good old game of what we're now calling... Dr Fact's Big Fact Hunt. We hope you're all safe and well and get a few giggles out of listening to these three pillocks. Oh, heads-up - Ben's mic sounds a bit weird for the first 15 minutes (don't worry, he's not self-isolating in a cave).

Well, well, well. This is a pretty special episode. Dan and Ben had the pleasure and extraordinary good fortune to sit down and talk games with none other than the head honcho of IGN and co-host of Nintendo Voice Chat, Peer Schneider. Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it. We encourage you to show Peer some love and let him know what you think of his game, food and drink pick...

Join Lewis, Andrew, Laurie and Ben as they run down the game announcements from the March 2020 Indie World Presentation. * Please note, the above description was written by Andrew while he was very grumpy. No time to write playful descriptions when you've got 47 other podcasts to appear on.

This episode is hosted by Dan, Andrew, Ben and... and what's this? A wild Mikey Boo Boo appears! Join the boys as they give a very Switch Island take on the recent Nintendo Direct Mini and share their initial thoughts on the game that, quite frankly, ripped off our whole island theme - Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This episode was recorded in the middle of the day, with absolutely zero alcohol i...

In what is almost definitely our first ever one-man podcast, Dan self-isolates with nothing but his shiny new soundboard for company. He didn't want anyone else on the pod, just him and his soundboard. I get it. It's fine. Totally cool with it. HEY DAN IF YOU LOVE YOUR SOUNDBOARD SO MUCH WHY DON'T YOU ASK IT TO DO A WEE ON YOU? WILL YOUR SOUNDBOARD DO THAT??? I'LL TELL THEM EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW I...

Laurie, Andrew and Lewis put on their party hats and scoff some cake in celebration of the Switch's 3rd birthday. Admittedly, the cake they're scoffing is probably hella hard by now, but our dear Patreon supporters got this episode back when it was timely and relevant. We invite you to become part of this elite group over at patreon.com/theswitchisland The boys also find time to discuss Fire Emble...

This week, the chaps talk a whole load of nonsense about Andrew's dodgy curtains, coronavirus disruption, the upcoming releases, and our top three games of the Switch's first three years! If you enjoy consuming our content as much as we love making it, you can support us directly by contributing to our Patreon: patreon.com/theswitchisland ------------------------------ Hop on over to the island an...

Lewis, Laurie and Ben grab their body pillows and questionable mouse mats to discuss Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. They also somehow make Sonic The Hedgehog 2 sound vaguely perverted as only The Switch Island can. You can also assist us in our quest to help Andrew remember that other games exist by tweeting @oddment84 GET OFF FORTNITE, ANDREW

On this episode, your hosts Lewis, Andrew & Ben are joined by an actual, proper journalist and a legend in UK gaming coverage, Chris Scullion. Join the boys as they talk about Chris' career, his DIC game choice and even squeeze in time for a Big Fact Hunt. Please note we can not be held accountable for any factual errors made during this episode as we were NOT drunk during the time of recording. D...

Andrew, Ben, Laurie & Rich met up in the real world to enjoy drinks and random snacks sent directly to our table from our lovely friends and followers (thank you, you crazy bastards). The boys cover many topics, including hot takes on the Animal Crossing Direct, Ninja being a bellend and some other stuff we're too drunk to remember. Mum, if you're reading this, we love you and we're sorry.
