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. I appreciate it.Tweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord NewsSquare aggressively developing for the Switch (thanks tom from discord)Middle Range GamesHulu for Switch via official press release.OthersGameplay / ThoughtsGraphics comparisonsLightning Round19% of Ubisoft sales came from M+R (Sure to change now that Assasins Creed is out)Kimishima on all things SwitchFire Emblem Warriors update on its wayPossible Zelda

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

Now when I go into a 2D section it’s just classic Mario. Did 2D costumes get cut?

I need advice on my next Switch game to purchase. I have very specific criteria, and want to see if you have any ideas.  I want a game to play with my wife. She likes a VERY narrow window of games. She likes LEGO games, but only from movies familiar to her.  She likes sidescroller, no 3D. We loved played Mario Bros Wii together. So much fun. And Lego Star Wars, bonded over that game.  And the final caveat, must be 2 player so we can play together. Any ideas?
