U Deluxe, a Wii U title port that has been topping the video game sales chart. After that Patrick chimes in on his impressions of Travis Strikes Again and Hollow Knight. In the main event, the gang discusses what games they want to see ported from the Wii U to the Nintendo Switch. All this and more.

This week on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast, Goomba Stomp writer Kyle Rentschler joins us to discuss an article he recently published listing his month-by-month predictions of what Nintendo could be releasing throughout 2019. His list is separated into three parts: Main Attraction (announced or rumored big thing that will definitely happen), Backup (announced or rumored smaller things that will definitely happen), and Wild Card (an unannounced thing of varying size that may not but probably still will definitely happen). We go through his list and decide which of these predictions is likely to happen and which are most unlikely. Before all that, Ricky reviews Catastronauts, a sci-fi party game from Inertia Game Studios that drops teams of players in a fight for survival against alien adventures. Meanwhile, Patrick reviews Iconoclasts, a game seven years in the making by developer Joakim Sandberg. All this and more.

The Best Video Game Soundtracks 2018 Awesome Mix Tape

As I do every year, I've made another awesome mixtape sampling my favourite songs from the best video game soundtracks of 2018. Included is the fully orchestrated soundtrack by Yasunori Nishiki which was composed to reflect the details, personalities, upbringings, and motivations behind all eight characters – as well as music from Shadow of the Tomb Raider by Montreal composer Brian D’Oliveira, who spent three years travelling through dark corners of the Amazon and remote Mexican villages collecting the rare instruments used to compose the soundtrack. Of course, you will also hear music from John Paesano (Spider-Man), Dan Romer (Far Cry 5) and Bear McCreary, responsible for the emotional score for God Of War which features dark, pounding percussion and a deep, male choir chanting a series of ominous notes. As always, I try to keep the mixtape just under an hour.
