While I believe that support will continue for some time, I do believe the architecture will be outdated before long. With that said, the Switch, being a hybrid console seems to be the potential filler for the handheld gap that the 3DS would leave. I find it hard to believe that Nintendo would completely walk away from the handheld market with their considerable market share and little competition.  ·         Do you think that Nintendo will ever return to a solid state home console, or will future iterations have the same aesthetics as the Switch?·         If the Switch is the successor/replacement to the 3DS in the handheld market - How will Nintendo be able to return to the home console market and how do you think it would be received    They have stated in the past that the Nintendo Switch has been a journey. A long time in the works on behalf of Nintendo even stating the GameCube handle being part of this journey. I feel like going from the Switch to a stationary box would be a step backwards in innovation through technological limitation may continue to widen the programming gap for companies that develop on multiple platforms. It is hard to say what the future holds. I for one only play in handheld mode for various reasons (including TV time lol) and never want to be stuck tied to a television again!Love the show!

I learned of you while you were on the SwitchCast with KC. I don't always have time to listen to long weekly podcasts so I like how you do shorter episodes with more throughout the week.I hear that you enjoy the motion controls on Splatoon 2. I have been playing Splatoon since release day of the original on Wii U. One of my favorite games, but I've been stubborn on learning motion controls. I feel like I can't get any better unless I switch to motion controls. People have given me tips on the proper use of them, but I feel like I still use the right stick too often.Do you have any tips on getting used to motion controls and what is the proper way to use them? Like should I be touching the right stick at all or seldom and how often should I be resetting the camera? I feel like I need to see someone play in motion controls to really grasp it.Thanks and keep up the good work,Trevor NewsWe were having a discussion in the Discord about the Zelda timeline which is complicated.  And Bravd said “I think that the way they portray Ganon and the things they say about him that BotW is the very last story ever.”Overcooked comes out on ThursdaySplatoon had a good first weekend.Mincraft is now 1080p in docked mode  Lightning RoundLEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is coming on November 14.Battlechasers Nightware playable at gamescom 2017Lost Sphear Launches January 23, 2018That is all we have time for today, if the re is a story that I missed let me know!#askSwitchCraftRunjumpstomp@gmail.com subject line Sw

Didn't work very well for me. It feels very awkward. I'm usually not a fan of any motion controls though but don't mind using gyro aiming for splatoon.  Interested to hear other feedback. I will probably just stick with the pro controller for nowBeats Alive posted to the discord - Motion controls for Splatoon 2 is a no-go.  That was way too awkward.On video services like Netflix and YouTube for the SwitchCapt_Logun posted in the discord - Imagine a world where you’re watching a show on Netflix and someone wants to watch their show on the main tv; Easy to imagine right?

This was her first video game level completed and although proud I was left with a question.  How do I continue to introduce her to video games? The only other game she has ever played was Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with the joy-con steering wheels and all assists turned on, she loved this and I cherished the moment along with her.I know this is a personal question and I would not hold it against you to not answer but I relate to your podcast perhaps most on a fellow fatherly gamer level and just wondered how you introduced your kids to gaming and how you progressed those skills.I'd very much enjoy this subject to be a segment on one of your podcasts (just a suggestion), givin' some of your past experiences as I would love nothing more than to share my passion for Nintendo and games with my daughter as she grows.Keep up the great work, and we will all keep listening and coming back for more. NewsSplatoon 2 Direct Thursday July 6th,10am ETNintendo Press ReleaseBlaster Master zero gets more new characters!  Shovel Knight and Shante!These aren’t just skins!  Inti Creates is a fantastic dev, I’m really impressed with BMZTelltale likes the SwitchNintendo Shareholders meeting translatedPlague Tale not coming to Switch due to lack of powerTHQ Nordic also complains that the Switch isn’t powerful enough.Pac-Man Vs. has Download play with Namco Museum!eBay removes listings for SNES classicThat is all we have time fo
