Every detail of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is finally on the table, and we're going to slam into every one of them head-on!

JV is joined by David to explore the stars and fight off the Legion menace! We talk in-depth about our impressions and experiences with Starlink, and then catch up on a lot of news that we may have missed over the past week.

There ain't no party like a SwitchCast party, 'cuz a SwitchCast party is a Mario Party! We're starting off mellow with Will: A Wonderful World, but hop on the party train with Super Mario Party. Then, we dig into the "Party Game" genre and discuss what we consider (and love about) party games in this week's Switch Focus.

We're charging up and slashing through a couple of great Nintendo Switch side-scrollers, with reviews of MegaMan 11 and Ninjin: Clash of Carrots. Then we dive deep into a discussion of the 2D side-scrolling genre as a whole in this week's Switch Focus!

We're dishing up a double dragon reviews this week with a powered-up look at Dragonball FighterZ, followed by a calming stroll through the Little Dragons Cafe!
