Sunday, July 6, 2025 • Duration 02:39:09
I'm just gonna say it: Squeakross is the best Picross game I've ever played.

Plus: final thoughts on Ruffy and the Riverside! First impressions of Fast Fusion! Talking about price increases and AI and how weird people are being about who's making Donkey Kong Bananza! And so much more!

Au Revoir, Nintendo Switch – Bonjour, Nintendo Switch 2!
Thursday, June 12, 2025 • Duration 02:27:52
I got sick over the weekend, so I've recruited Matt to join me in ushering in this new era of Nintendo Switch 2! On this episode, we're giving our first impressions of Switch 2, Mario Kart World and more... but not before spending a little time looking back at the first Nintendo Switch. We've gathered a whole bunch of great community submissions from y'all, sharing your favorite games and memories from the past eight years! It gave us a great excuse to celebrate some great games on a platform that's meant so much to all of us.
Thank you to Qumu & for the use of our intro and outro music!
My Nintendo Content Creator Journey
Sunday, May 11, 2025 • Duration 01:33:14
I've been doing content creation (and specifically Nintendo-focused content creation) full-time for over three years now, if you can believe it. How did I get here? It's a winding journey and involves a lot of sacrifices... so I thought it might be kinda interesting to get into? Plus: thoughts on recent indies like Shotgun Cop Man, Nintendo financial results and more!
This past weekend, I was lucky enough to attend the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in Dallas, Texas. I got to hold the Switch 2! I got to play games like Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4 and more. I have THOUGHTS and plenty of YOUR questions to answer!
