Review
Johnnnnnnnnnr726 - I switch from NVC to your podcast. You are short and right to the point on Switch news. These games like Skyrim and Doom I’ve never played. I am more of a sports game person. With my birthday coming up FIFA and NBA are a must. But for the holiday season not sure what game I would get. And your show keeps me changing my mind. Keep up the good work.

re: the NES and SNES Classics... after wasting several months of my life
trying to score an NES Classic (and later an SNES Classic), I finally
got fed up with Nintendo's incompetence and went ahead and built an
emulation station using a Raspberry Pi. I now have a better experience,
with more games, including non-Nintendo consoles, and wireless
controllers. I can only devote so much time of the day stalking online
sites (even using services like NowInStock which often didn't respond
fast enough for the handful of minutes things become available), so if
Nintendo isn't going to take these devices seriously enough to want my
money, then lots of people like me are going to have moral shifts in
order to obtain the same (or better) experience.
Re: Metroid poll... I actually jumped from the original NES right to the
Wii (having switched to PC gaming in the interim) so I'd happily play
whatever Metroid games for Switch get produced. Metroid is my second
favorite franchise, after Zelda. Despite having a emulation box, the
appeal of playing portably and in HD would be sufficient for me to buy
remakes of games I already can emulate the originals of.
re: FIFA18 sales... not all Nintendo Switch owners are sports fans. Not
all sports fans are FIFA/soccer fans. And not all Switch-owning soccer
fans are fans of bloated, crippled games where the savefiles are almost
the size of the entirety of Super Mario Odyssey, and you can't play
online with your friends. Incompetence and laziness should not be
rewarded, and if EA is going to use this as a metric for whether they
bring additional games to the Switch, well that's their loss and
meanwhile we've got plenty of other games to play. There are only so
many hours in the day anyway.
