This week on the NXpress Nintendo Switch Podcast we briefly discuss plagiarism and the Fillip Miucin scandal (with reason) as well as piracy, and the takedown of Emuparadise, via threats by Nintendo. In our main event, Patrick, Rick, and Tim spend a good twenty minutes trying to decide which Mario games belong in the “Super Mario” series and which don’t. Should The Legend of the Seven Stars be included? Should the original Mario Bros. arcade game be included? There’s a lot to debate but after much deliberation, we’ve come to an agreement. All this and more!

This week on the NXpress Nintendo Switch Podcast we discuss the latest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct which pretty much exceeded our expectations. Joining us is Goomba Stomp staff writer Zack Rezak to help us review WarioWare Gold, the latest entry in the WarioWare series challenging players to complete consecutive "microgames" at increasing paces. Gold features both new microgames and microgames from past entries in the series for a total of over 300 microgames, so there is a lot to talk about! Finally, we end the show with a follow-up on Octopath Traveller. All this and more!
