I sent you a friend request. I’m Nintendork with the weird looking mii, and blue hair. Second thing I’m getting Super Mario Odyssey when it comes out, but one thing I don’t like is how much Nintendo is spoiling it.  I’ve been trying to avoid as much Mario Odyssey coverage as I can.  Because I want to be surprised about how cool the game is. What do you think of how much Nintendo spoils their games?ThanksJosephTweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord Stop by the live stream sometime!  twitch.tv/runjumpstompNewsFIFA for Switch only accounted for 1% of all copies sold.Don’t expect remakes for Metroid anytime soonGameplaySNES classic Menu Music is awesome.Not reviewing the games right now.  Perhaps I’ll do a retro review segment in the future.  So far I’ve only played Super Mario RPG.Artwork that goes on the sides of the 4x3 content is very nice. Controllers are spot on, cord is long enough, but could be longer.Awesome that it comes with two.Bonus that the controllers can be used on the NES classic (if you’re lucky enough to have both)Rewind feature - Right now I can’t see myself using this much but it's really cool to have.  You load a save and hit rewind and then you chose the moment to start playing again.Steamworld Dig 2http://store.steampowered.com/app/571310/SteamWorld_Dig_2/Lightning RoundF-Zero InterviewStardew Valley 5 Oct.

They seem to have a lot of problems running on the Switch.Do you think we will have the same problem as we did with the Wii U where 3rd party developers will stop trying to make these games on the Switch?Seems like they are having the same problems bringing games to the Switch that they had for the Wii U.  The big difference is the success of the Switch versus the failure of the Wii U. Developers have a big incentive now to get their games on the Switch where they didn’t have that on the Wii U.  It just seems like too big of a task and I imagine it’s a lot of work for these developers to try and put these games on the Switch.Should we accept the Switch as a system mainly for Nintendo made games and smaller indie type games?Love the show.Thanks,TrevorTweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867 Discord runjumpstomp.com/discordPer your comment on the podcast, I still play ARMS and love that game.  No Pokken for me either. - Crzylgs15agreed @crzylgs15.

Short and Sweet, I have listened to 3 or 4 episodes, and I highly recommend it.  I can tell from listening that he is really engaged with his fans, which is amazing.  I think it would be cool to have guests on the show, and hear their opinions.  Just friends of Bill would be cool, and maybe bigger names later.  Great Job!Email - Runjumpstomp@gmail.comHi Bill.I have been a long time Nintendo fan and have had all their main line home consoles that have come to the UK.Since buying the Switch I have been listening to lots of podcasts to keep up-to-date date with the latest news.The two I have settled on are Switchcraft and NVC. I feel that NVC gives me the multi voiced, multi opinionated mainstream view and Switchcraft gives me a more considered, nuanced and intimate experience.I love the shorter but more frequent format, I think about 30mins is about the sweet spot.Anyway keep up the good work.JulianFrom sunny Essex, Uk. Tweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867Justin from Pennsylvania Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord Stop by the live stream sometime!  twitch.tv/runjumpstompI’ll be streaming the SNES classic on Friday after I pick it up.NewsStardew Valley news - Thanks to Eearslya in Discord.If it releases this year it will probably be only the single player with multiplayer coming to PC first.  Switch gets it first on console next year.Jackbox 4 coming to Swtich October 19th.  Just in time for Thanksgiving!New ARMS stage coming tomorrow!Nintendo World Championships Metroid Samus Returns will be one of the games played.Participants were sent a new 2DS with the game, so they could practice.October 7th 5PMFree admissionI’ll be hosting it on my stream.  GameplayDeath Squared (review copy) 80 levelsMove boxes around changes things in the level Transparent barriers LazersSpikes to kill you.Son didn’t care for it.  He got bored

Great show. I listen to many podcasts covering a range of topics from politics, current affairs, sports and video games.I very much listen on the commute to work on crowded London trains and for this reason your show Nintendo Switch Craft stands out above the rest. Informative, unbiased, clear and perfect for someone who has a busy work life.On the digital v physical discussion, I have always bought physical on the basis I know I can trade-in games if I need to. I do also keep games I like, and have a proud collection. Predominantly a PS4 player, but since getting a Nintendo Switch I have been purchasing digital for the first time. I want to play without the hassle of juggling physical cartridges, allowing the Switch to truly feel portable. For the PS4, physical discs are going to continue being my form of choice. Digital will be my preferred delivery for the Switch.Lastly, keep up the great work. I know you a small set-up, but in terms of quality and passion you are on par and even above some of the more established big-budget podcasts out there. The fact you try support your wife's business through this adds that extra charm to the work you put into this project/hobby/passion of yours. I can feel the family vibe each time I listen to Nintendo Switch Craft.Appreciate if you have read up to this point, a rather long email I know. Thanks and regards from the other side of the pond.Sanjay, LondonTweet @runjumpstomp  Voicemail 260-RUN-JUMP  260-786-5867Have a ton of news today so I’m going to hold the voicemail for another day.Discord runjumpstomp.com/discord Stop by the live stream sometime!  twitch.tv/runjumpstompI’ll be streaming the SNES classic on Friday after I pick it up.NewsSquare responds to the speculation about FFXV  (TRANSLATION)Bethesda confirms that Doom is 720p 30fps (Solid) docked and undocked.No motion controls (bottom of the story)Sonic Mania update (FINALLY)

Adding in the ability to turn the joycons sideways for play would make playing this game multiplayer easier.  Would also lead directly into what the switch is amazing for (local portable multiplayer with one system)I’d definitely recommend Semispheres 9.99 if you enjoy mellow puzzle games like this or the bridge, then its definitly a game for you, and 10 bucks isn’t too steep a price either.Lightning RoundNintendo now uses 2FA !!!

I had more than 60 games. Of those 60 I had about 12 cartridges and the rest were all digital.I know this is very much a first world problem, but changing cartridges was a pain. I'm just saying I have really experienced this issue. Just consider over 4 plus years, playing 300 days a year.. that's 1,200 days.. and multiple games a day.. that can be thousands of cartridge changes.So obviously the bad things about digital:1. They cost more, you can't get the good Amazon.com prices2. I had to buy my own 200GB storage card for $783. If you get some bad games or finish a game you don't want, you're stuck with them and can't trade them in...All 3 of those items add to not an insignificant amount of money, I.e. Hundreds of dollars more to go all digital..The advantage of all digital: user experience.. it's more fun and easier and convenient.For me, video games are all about fun, so yeah I'm splurging and making it a luxury item to go all digital and I'm glad I have.Tweet From Rebecca@RunJumpStomp RE physical+download: it's fine if it can be downloaded with a used copy as well.
