It's a full house this week with not one, not two— but three guests joining Rick and Patrick to discuss the best Nintendo Switch games of 2018. It’s the last episode of the NXpress Nintendo Podcast for the year and we discuss fifteen of the best games released on Switch this year including Celeste, Yoku’s Island Express, Iconoclasts, Pokemon Let’s Go, The Messenger, Into the Breach, Wandersong, and Dead Cells. In addition, we set aside some time to review Gris, the indie adventure-platformer developed by Nomada Studio that has been getting rave reviews since its release. Closing the show is a follow-up review of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In between us reviewing all of these games we also discuss Nintendo’s success of the past twelve months and whether or not the Big N had a good year.

After months of waiting, Nintendo has finally debuted their Nintendo Switch online service which comes with a new retro gaming offering in the NES app. This week, Marty Allen joins us to discuss the pros and cons of this new service. Before all that, we touch on a few indie games we haven’t yet had time to talk about on the podcast including Into the Breach, a turn-based strategy game which just so happens to be one of the best-reviewed games of 2018, and Minit, a really clever indie title consisting of sixty-second rounds in which the player attempts to uncover mysteries and lift a curse. Meanwhile, Rick and Marty go back and forth with their love and hate relationship with Dead Cells. Finally, ending the show is a twenty-minute discussion on what we want to see improved, added and updated in the new Animal Crossing game set for release on the Switch in 2019. All this and more!
