Nintendo is famous for holding on tightly to their IP's, but with speculation of a new Animal Crossing game on the Switch, I thought how big it would be if Nintendo returned the cross-play favor with Microsoft and put out an Animal Crossing game on Switch and XBox as well as some features that would tie in with IOS/Android as well! I know it would likely never happen, but I feel that Animal Crossing would be a great cross-play IP and I think it would not only be great PR for Nintendo, but drive even more software sales as well. If not one of Nintendo's own IP's, do you think we will ever seen Nintendo create software that we could see on another gaming system? Hope all is well! Continuing to enjoy your show week after week! Keep up the great work! Joe (LuvMyNES) Unpatchable Nintendo Switch Exploit Makes Every Nintendo Switch Hackable — Neither Nintendo nor Nvidia have commented on the issue as of yet.

They're still trying to negotiate with Nintendo whether a possible Wonderful 101 Switch release could happen but it always helps when the people in the audience at Reboot clap if they'd actually buy a Switch version of Wonderful 101. So anybody who would buy that, please clap... After the talk, Eurogamer caught up with Inaba to clarify things. A translator listened to Inaba's reply and then said:

My wife and I occasionally upload songs we record to YouTube. Just a simple setup, my acoustic guitar and our voices, recorded on a phone. Lately though we have been discussing getting better equipment or software to improve the sound quality. We are on a very tight budget though. Do you have any suggestions for mics or recording/editing software? Thanks, and keep up the great work, week to week. By the way, my favorite part of your show is the little audio breaks when you throw in random game related music or sound effects.
