Thanks for playing my voicemail on air! It was cool to hear.I teach fourth grade in a school district around Dallas. Of course, as soon as I hung up I thought about some other things I could have said- the switch is my first home console since the gamecube. Up until the switch came out, I just played my ds and 3ds and of that just mainly pokemon games. Part of the appeal of the switch to me was that I would be able to use it at school to play games with my kids- whether it be as an incentive or part of a lesson or something like that. Nothing like that has occurred in my class yet, but we will see. I have a vision of having my class play Mario Kart and collecting some sort of data on it. That would be pretty cool I think.Anyway, I'll leave a review for your show on iTunes one of these days. Thanks for all you do for the switch community.’TeacherInMe on twitterScott emailed2 things:1) you said that if you buy the physical version of Resident Evil 1 and2, you don't have to worry about the file sizes. I actually think Iremember reading somewhere that even the physical version would onlycontain #1 on the cartridge and then a download code for RE2. Which ofcourse is horrible, and one reason I might pass on this.2) You asked what size MicroSD cards people had. I got 128GB because I'mbuying physical of everything I possibly can. Due to resale andlongevity I don't trust digital downloads. As a result, this is going toaffect my purchase decision of RE1&2.Voicemail NewsReggie says Nintendo is trying to hit its 10 million console mark for holiday 2017ARMS getting custom controls!!!!Why wasn’t it at launch?Rumor of Nintendo Direct on September 13thGameplayNeuroVoider is a twi

Love how articulate and succinct you are. I'm currently debating whether to take the plunge or not - I probably will 😉 - but just quickly... Where the hell is Switch Sports? Or a Mario Bowling? The thing that made the original Wii so popular. The thing that would show off the Switch and its controllers and would almost single-handedly sell an awful lot more units. Feels like a giant elephant-sized hole in the line up. Have you heard of anything? Tennis. Bowling. Air hockey. That sort of thing. Indy or otherwise.Cheers, Keep up the good work.James, London.VoicemailNewsDragon Ball Xeonverse 2 trailer 9/22Also has 5v boss fights.3v3 online battlesGraphics look awesome.Has motion controls as well as traditional.The actors are certainly happy. GameplayThe bridge - Chapter 1Lightning RoundSMR removed from app store but its backSonic Forces Bonus Edition available on AmazonComing soon!September 5th[Switch] R.B.I.

Shoevel Knight Amiibo, NBA Amiibo, Portable Dock and SNES Cancellations

Don’t forget to subscribe to the show in your favorite podcasting app!   Patron This episode of SwitchCraft is brought to you by Patrons like DoortoDoorGeek!  Support SwitchCraft and my other content for as little as a dollar and get exclusive rewards, at  https://www.patreon.com/runjumpstompFeedbackMarcReymon - reviewed the show.  The best Switch Podcast. Period.  Gather ‘round kids.  Let me tell you of why I think this podcast is the absolute pinnacle of Nintendo Switchery podcast perfection….First and foremost , RJS has the voice, the disposition, and maybe most importantly) a love for all things Nintendo.  Put all that together in a padded studio and you’re cooking with gas my man.  The show lasting on average 30 minutes is absolutely perfect for someone like me who is just about always slammed with work, traveling, or just trying to catch up on sleep, I can always squeeze in a half hour show to get caught up on the latest and greatest news within the Nintendo universe.  I really can’t say enough good things about the show;  it’s my all time favourite and I highly recommend it to anyone who is just as much of a Nintendo fan as I am.  Thanks again RJS. I wish you lots of success in the future.  I’ll be there supporting you every step of the way!JCavuto gave 2 stars and said there are many better Nintendo podcasts out thereSevin Korbo gave 1 start - Just falls short of what other podcasts bring to the table.  One person rattling off news by himself does not a good podcast make.  Yeah he has a nice voice, but I can’t stand it for so long, unbroken by any other voices or other opinion.  That’s what makes Nintendo Voice Chat so good, they have multiple people with diverse gaming backgrounds.  One person just can't cover all the Switch has to offer from a place of authority.JJeco also gave one star - A little one noteEmail Karl Emailed - Hey there, hope you are well.I have four friends who own a switch. Yet I'm the only one to have downloaded the Switch online app.  There reasons for not downloading is that it's very bare bones, and is not particularly useful.I've come up with a couple of simple ideas which could entice people to use the app. Access to the E shop, allow me to buy content, when I'm away from my switch. Allow me to buy Amiibo data, and use my phones NFC to use data on my switch.  Some of the Amiibo are hard to find, and some folk do not want the figures. Having a digital collection with out the clutter but all the benefits would be great. Access to my game screen shots. Take a pic in game, Up load to Lakitu (the Nintendo cloud) and have access to them on my phone, to do with as I want. Most people take there phone everywhere, so have some sort of street pass, maybe swap friend codes of people you pass.Are there any features you think would make the app better .........VoicemailNewsNindies @ Night stream on HyperRPGShovel Knight AmiiboNYKO unveils their portable dockNBA2K

Now that I am downloading a lot of your suggestions, I feel a good topic to discuss is expandable storage. What micro-SD cards are a must have and what one should we stay away from. I'd love to hear that on an upcoming episode!Thanks, and keep crushing the competition. Only Switch podcast that matters in my opinion.Sean Speed class (Go for class 10)128gb is the sweet spot for price, but if you can afford a bigger card then go for it.I bought this oneHere is a 256 gb class 10 from Samsung expensive though VoicemailNewsPre-orders for the SNES Classic Mini went up around 10pm PST at Best Buy. 20 minutes later the were out.
