The SwitchCast - A Nintendo Switch Podcast

Suit up for the most mecha-tastic podcast of the season, as we review the Nintendo Switch exclusive Daemon X Machina. Then we have to bundle up, because Northgard is blowing into town with RTS competition. This week we also saw the release of the Nintendo Switch Lite, and we'll be sharing our initial impressions (as well as yours) in the Switch Focus!

It's time to play the chain game... Astral Chain that is! "The Month of JV Games" kicks off with this sci-fi Platinum Games gem. We then move into the Switch Focus to chat about what we want from a collector's edition, and hit up all the week's Nintendo Switch news, including a preview of the actual gameplay for RingFit Adentures.

If you like it then you better put a ring on Switch! Could this mysterious new peripheral launch Nintendo's next exercise fad? We talk about it in today's Switch Focus... just before Nintendo revealed the actual game that's coming out with it! But we'll talk more on that next week. We also put on our cloaking devices and chat about Incvisigun Reloaded on Nintendo Switch, and take a moment to discuss the mobile sensation that is Pokemon Masters. 

Overwatch for Nintendo Switch, new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighters, Little Town Hero, and so much more to talk about from the Fall Nintendo Direct! I don't even have time to write about them all here. Just listen and enjoy!

JV enters the Shadow Games with Yu-Gi-Oh! on Nintendo Switch, just as KC... --- WE INTERRUPT THIS PODCAST TO ANNOUNCE NINTENDO MOBILE GAMES DROPPING! --- Mario Kart Tour is shown off just before we record, and Pokemon Masters is released AS we record. But we still manage to cover all the week's Nintendo Switch news and new releases.

Happy Indepedents Day! We have a load of new Nindie reveals to run through, right after we finish running from a masked murderer in our review of Friday the 13th: Ultimate Slasher Edition for Nintendo Switch. KC also takes a few moments to catch up with Fire Emblem: Three Houses... you know, after EVERYONE in the community told him to play it.

Whether it's from ne'er do wells or blue humor, we're talking about how to keep your Switch safe with our show this week. So strap in tight for our review of Our World is Ended and much more!

Hark! In this special (mostly unedited) mini episode, JV is joined by David to talk about Fire Emblem Three Houses, and how we feel about the newest entry of this illustrious franchise.

Soak up some rays while listening to us review the new accessible fighting game Fantasy Strike for Nintendo Switch! In the Switch Focus, we talk about how we enjoy our Nintendo Switch in the summer and on the beach, and in the news we review all the newest Super Smash Bros. Ultimate updates that were just added and much more!

Special guest Hermes descends from Mt. Olympus to feast on his fellow deities in an in-depth discussion of God Eater 3 for Nintendo Switch. We also chat about our new SwitchCast logo options, and all the week's Nintendo Switch news, including the final Splatoon 2 SplatFst!

JV's makes some fun with Super Mario Maker 2 for Nintendo Switch, KC turns everything upside-down with Stranger Things 3, and we discuss our favorite level editors throughout gaming. As always, we also have all the week's Nintendo Switch news and new releases to run through too!

What a surprise! We cover the surprise announcement of the Nintendo Switch Lite, cover the community’s reactions to the (more) portable version of our beloved console, and discuss the new Auto-Battler genre that’s taking the gaming industry by storm.

Being broke can be fun with plenty of free to play titles coming to Nintendo Switch all the time. But is this trend good for gaming overall, or is the future filled with loot boxes and other "surprise mechanics?" We also review the latest news, including a deeper look at Pokemon Masters and Rin rants about Pokemon Sword and Shield limiting its pool of Pokemon.

Special guest Darrel Wright joins us to talk about the Smash Madness League and to discuss how competitive it can (or can't) be to play with items. We also jump into reviews of retro RPG Cosmic Star Heroine, rhythmic Rogue-like Cadence of Hyrule, and robust racer Crash Team Racing for Nintendo Switch! This week, we lost a huge part of the community in Etika. If you or anyone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

One week of E3 coverage was simply not enough, so we're catching everything we missed from day three of the event, in particular Phantasy Star Online 2 for Nintendo Switch, and Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. Plus, we'll hear what the listeners paid most attention to from throughout the show. We also have a truckload of Nintendo Switch game reviews to get through. That includes two very different metroidvania titles in Timespinner and Giga Wrecker Alt, plus the puzzle punching competition of Crystal Crisis.
