Like you my wife is getting me Nba2k18 for my birthday at end of month and well i was curious about what demos were available to play. I was on eshop and scrolled down to games on sale and saw the nba was 30% off bringing down to $42.00 through 11/27. I myself not very into buying digital cause really don’t want deal with multiple sd cards someday. However $20 off is damn good so I told if she aint buy it yet we should buy the digital copy. Hard to pass up that sale. Even people interested in the $100 version of the game which to me i personally would not pay more than $60 for a game is on sale for $60. I guess sometimes it pays to wait. Tweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord NewsZelda wins the golden joystick award for Game of the year’Ejji Aonuma lead the acceptance.Director Fujibayashi busy working on DLC pack 2 (still later this year)Dark Blue Joycons (Nintendo Minute)

I have picked up rocket league yet because don’t have a chance to play yet but in comparison to MK8 online. When ever me and my daughter play together split screen online we just use our profile names so like I am the only one with Nintendo account. My daughter as a child account linked to mine and her own user name while my wife just has a user name although she really not a gamer. Sorry email long but player is the main user online and then you pick the other user name. There is no adding a 2 to the first name.Tweet @runjumpstomp     Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord NewsSwitch eShop lets you filter by games with demos.ARMS 4.0 comes out today!

Tune in at twitch.tv/runjumpstopThank you chat!Review Email - Runjumpstomp@gmail.comHi RJS,I want to share a story with you about my 3DS and microSD card. I have 300 3DS digital titles, a mix of Virtual Console, eShop titles, and first party downloads. 300 is the max a 3DS can have if you did not know that. I actually have more than that, but I can't hold them all. This all takes up around 80GB. The 300 hundred limit is 60 pages of 3DS titles where 5 titles per page are listed in data management.About a month ago the microSD card would not allow writes. I don't know what happened or changed. It was bricked, but still readable fortunately. I purchased a new 128GB card and copied all the files over successfully.I was fortunate that the card was still readable and wanted to warn others to make backups. Can you image downloading 80GB of 3DS titles along with DSi titles. Also, I would have lost my save games and backups.The story had a happy ending, but I was sweating it, until the new card and a backup had been completed.CheersTweet @runjumpstomp     Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord NewsRocket league local online worriesTwo online accounts?I doubt it.

Tune in at twitch.tv/runjumpstopThank you chat!Review Email - Runjumpstomp@gmail.comA few weeks ago on the podcast you mentioned that you were fed up with Amazon not delivering on time but didn't really want to switch to buying games from Best Buy because you would have to go pick them up. I wanted to let you know that Best Buy will ship games to you for free. I recently stopped buying from Amazon and joined the Gamer's Club program and it's great so far. Mario Odyssey was the first game I got with the club, and I got a $10 bonus coupon for buying, along with $5 off for joining the club. Long story short I'm getting Doom for $32! The reason I decided to go with Best Buy over Amazon is that Amazon makes you preorder to get the discount. I was forcing myself to buy games I wasn't sure about because I wanted 20% off, but that is no longer an issue.-JoelTweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord NewsNintendo projecting to make 25 million next yearDoom lets you play with friends  (Looking at you EA)Has Been Heroes update!GameplayDarwin ProjectLightning RoundAce Attorney coming to SwitchSci Fi vs FantasyPress Release Coming soon!

I know a good rule of thumb with podcasting is that you probably have twice as many listeners as subscribers, so I hope that's encouraging.Thanks for covering news, offering your honest opinions on games, as well as getting into meaningful topics like accessibility. I listen to a lot of shows in the gaming industry, so I always appreciate when someone takes the time to form a nuanced opinion on something and deliver it well.Keep it up! I know it's a lot of work.

Tune in at twitch.tv/runjumpstopThank you chat!Review Email - Runjumpstomp@gmail.comJust listened to episode 102, and wanted to offer input on the 2D costume issues in Mario Odyssey. The only time I ran into this issue was when I was not wearing a matching outfit. I had on the racing suit but the caveman hat and when I went into a 2D level, I was wearing the classic outfit. Any other time I was wearing a matching costume it showed up in 2D as well. Haven't done any specific research on this, but I do remember this instance that caused me to pay closer attention to it. Thanks for a great Nintendo news podcast.JeremyTweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discordMultiple people mentioned this but I think that Kodiak Moonwolf summed this up perfectly.  Think I have an answer in regards to the 2d stuff on odyssey (I posted in spoilers but i know you're not reading it) So I think i've just worked out the mystery of the costumes, and what happened with that person who emailed in on the Podcast, It looks like that if you're wearing a full costume (i.e. hat and body) then when you go into 2D, the game has a sprite for it. but i guess, they didn't make sprites for all the possible combinations if your different costumes.  I tested by going into a 2d section wearing a full costume, sprite showed up, but when i went in with different parts, it defaulted to the standard marioNewsMore games shipping unfinishedBlame the suits not the devs.Did Nintendo control Mario + Rabbids more than they say?Nintendo shares the blameEA WaitingGameplayStill working my way through SMO.  Played some multiplayer with my son last night, we d
