After the success of Woolly World, players have been looking forward to what visual treat Good-Feel would come with next, and it's finally here! This week Tim, Patrick, and Izsak review Yoshi's Crafted World, another playful romp in dino land. The franchise of late hasn't exactly been known for its blisteringly difficult platforming, but is there enough there to hold our interest? Does the homemade arts & crafts aesthetic stay fresh? Is controlling a giant, cardboard Yoshi as fun as it sounds? Check it out for our full review.
After the review, the guys discuss the recent rumor of two new versions of the Switch that may make their way to stores by late summer. While this is all speculation at this point, what sort of modifications could we expect, and what would we want? First, however, Izsak concludes his month-long opus to play one indie game per week, concluding with what might be a nice little multiplayer gem called Not Not - A Brain Buster, where players are tasked with executing simple instructions with split-second timing. For all this and more on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast, have a listen!

This week on the NXpress Nintendo Switch Podcast we start by reviewing Tetris 99 which combines the tried-and-true puzzle gameplay with his own particular blend of mayhem. The game, which is free to download (provided you’re a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber), is perhaps the least expected take on the battle royale genre – but some would argue the best. Somehow this leads into a heated argument of whether or not NES games stand the test of time.
In our main event, we discuss our individual gaming habits including our preference for purchasing either digital or physical copies as well as how many indie games we each play on a regular basis. In between all of this, Patrick has nothing but great things to say about Degrees of Separation, a puzzle platformer where cooperation is built into every move. From the sounds of it, this might just be his favourite game he's played all year. It's another jam-packed show this week so sit back, relax and get ready for some more Nintendo love.
