This week on the NXpress Nintendo Switch Podcast, we discuss the latest Nintendo Direct including the announcement of Luigi's Mansion 3 and Animal Crossing on the Switch, not to mention the high-definition versions of some of the most beloved Final Fantasy games of all time and a special edition of the groundbreaking Katamari Damacy. And that's not all! We also discuss the Nintendo Online service, the Nintendo Entertainment System Controllers, and the stunning Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros. Ultimate set. Before any of that, Tim reports on his experience at PAX West and shares his thoughts on the best indie games he played at the event. Finally, in our bonus content, our guest Maxwell N joins Ricky to review The Messenger, yet another indie game taking inspiration from the action-platformers of the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. Retro throwbacks are a dime a dozen these days, but we'll let you know if The Messenger is worth your time and money. 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!

NXpress Nintendo Podcast 116: Switch's Third Party Boon and E-Rated Games
Friday Nov 24, 2017

It's a more discussion-oriented show this week, as Tim and Patrick are joined by veteran Goomba Stomp writer Izsak Barnette to talk about the recent burst of third-party games on the Switch, as well as their prospects. Doom, L.A. Noire, and Skyrim are just a few of the heavy hitters that have already arrived; how do they survive the translation to Nintendo's hybrid, and will they be embraced by the Nintendo faithful? Does the future look bright for Switch developers not named Nintendo? And what games would we like to see next?
Next, the guys talk about a recent article from Izsak that touches on the need for more high-quality family games in the industry. Mario can't do it by himself, people, and though the gory dismemberment of games like Doom and gleeful crime sprees of the Grand Theft Auto series are plenty fun, maybe they aren't the best thing to play at Thanksgiving with the nieces and nephews.
Before all of that, we give Izsak the first-time guest treatment, as well as talk about what games we've been playing lately. For all this and more, have a listen!
