Switch Island - Nintendo Podcast

Lewis, Laurie, Dan, Max and Ben are your hosts for what will go down as possibly our most chaotic episode yet. All in the name of charity though, and after what's been a bumper weekend of content we're very happy to say we've surpassed our Movember donations goal of £1000. So thank you, dear listener, for your amazing support for a great cause. Have a great week.

A quick reminder to all of you wonderful listeners that we're about to embark on a whole weekend of content and silliness, all in the name of charity! We have a goal of £1000 that we'd love to hit over the weekend, so if you're able to contribute, well that'd be lovely, and you can do so here: https://movember.com/t/the-cross-players We'd love to get our whole community involved, setting us ridiculous challenges and spreading the word, so please tell your friends and keep in touch via Twitter and Twitch. We love you and thank you all! twitter.com/thecrossplayers twitch.tv/thecrossplayerslive PS. Yes, that really is the original voice of Lara Croft. Surreal.

Hello there intrepid explorers! Join Laurie and Nate as they blast off into our spoiler-free Pikmin 3 Deluxe CrossSection. Find out what it’s like to have a four year old co-op partner sabotaging your best efforts, and just how many of the poor Pikmin the guys carelessly sent to their deaths in the hunt for fruit. Let us know what you thought of the game and if you haven’t played it yet, grab the demo!

Hullo there! For our big release week episode, Lewis and Ben are joined by Adam from Switch Indie Fix, who has been getting to grips with his sexy new Xbox Series S. Dan even shows up after a while to bless us with his majestic presence and to discuss the latest releases and everything we've been playing. We won't plug Patreon like we normally would at this point, but some of us are attempting to raise money for charity by growing creepy-guy moustaches. We're over halfway towards our team goal of £1000, and if you'd like to donate you can do so here: https://movember.com/t/the-cross-players That felt like a strangely sensible description this week, didn't it? Ballbags! There you go.

Wotcha. Get this Watch Dogs: Legion review in your lugholes sharpish. Andrew and Ben share their thoughts with Sean Capri and Ryan Turford from The Xbox Drive. Go give 'em a follow and tell 'em The Cross Players sent ya: https://twitter.com/thexboxdrive

Andrew! Dan! Max! Nathan! What happens when you put four knowledgeable, witty and handsome guys onto one podcast? We'll never know. Instead, here's Andrew, Dan, Max and Nathan. Video games!

Good day, you plague-ridden rat! (that's a quote from the game, I'm not just being rude). Bloodborne was one of our Game Club games for October, and Steve & Ben have some things to say about it. They're joined by friends of the show David & Jordan from The Thirsty Mage podcast. Two of the nicest and most knowledgable fellows you're ever likely to encounter, so give them a cheeky follow @TheThirstyMage on Twitter. An extended version of this episode, minus the BAFTA nominated intro, is going out on The Thirsty Mage feed, so go drop those guys a sub if you're *ahem* thirsty for more. And as ever, if you'd like to support us, receive an exclusive podcast every week and have your say on future Game Club games, you can do so over at patreon.com/thecrossplayers

The first rule of Game Club is that Andrew will never buy Rocket League. Andrew, Dan and Ben are joined by our beloved Patreon supporter Jason to look back on our Game Club games from October 2020. Those games were Rocket League, Bloodborne, Super Metroid and Resident Evil 7. We debate which game is the pick of the bunch and also reveal which games we'll be playing in November.

Dressed in their finest Halloween attire, (twitch.tv/thecrossplayerslive for evidence) Lewis, Dan, Nathan and Ben go to town on some meaty news, namely the Cyberpunk delay and the big old Nintendo Partner Showcase. They also talk about the games they've been playing and of course make time to poke fun at Patreon supporters. You too can have that honour by throwing as little as $1 a month at us, over at patreon.com/thecrossplayers, giving you access to weekly bonus content, regular giveaways and a whole lot more. Ok, a bit more.

The chaps get round the digital table to talk all things gaming, including the news that Steve from Minecraft has lost his lovelength privileges in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

Unlucky for some, it's episode 13 of CrossCast. Released in October. Very close to Halloween. AND Lewis is back in the hosting chair... Oh no, we're all doomed! Joining Lewis in his triumphant return are Mike, Rich and Andrew, who discuss the latest news and what they've been playing in a longer-than-usual episode. So sit back, relax, and let that soft Scottish drawl overcome your senses. He'll drop your guard, and then before you know it you'll be just another of his victims... 'You're my wife now, Dave...'

Andrew, Steve, Mike, Dan and Ben are back, talking video games in a style that critics are calling 'vaguely amusing and rarely informative'. Occasionally I'll listen through these episodes before writing a description, but this one is about 30 minutes longer than usual and I'm not sure I can endure 2 hours of in-jokes and knob gags. Fair play to you if you can make it through the whole thing though. And heck, if you're still thirsty for more you can get an extra podcast every week by contributing as little as $1 per month at https://www.patreon.com/thecrossplayers I've also been told, by Andrew (who seems much nicer than the others - when I sprained my wrist back in July he even offered to bathe me!) that I should include the following links in these here show notes: Listen to Nathan's music: https://soundcloud.com/nathandelune/forgotten-woorlds-demo Listen to Dan's music: https://soundcloud.com/thecastrosuk/tracks Listen to Ben's music: https://delusionists.bandcamp.com/ Listen to Mike's music: I dunn

Join Lewis and Laurie as they revisit their youth* and discuss the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection on Switch. Will they be enjoying their time with the games? Will the cameras be causing them to wall jump in despair? And what’s Lewis got against motion controls? Tune in to find out! Stick around for the post show as Lewis regales us with his trip into Edinburgh to buy paint. Exciting! *Sadly, Laurie never actually experienced 'youth' as he was born with the mind of a 36 year old. He would often be found chastising other children for running too fast or laughing too loudly. But that's probably a story for a Patreon podcast... ...Speaking of which, please consider supporting us at patreon.com/thecrossplayers as it helps us to keep producing content like this in addition to our unmissable weekly show!

This week, Mike, Ben, Laurie & Dan talk through the latest gaming news, whilst debating whether the storage space on the next generation of consoles could be a deal breaker. Enjoy! Join in with our Game Club over at -- thecrossplayers.com/discord

The first rule of Game Club is don't give Andrew any wine. Here's our inaugural Game Club review, where we sit down and pick through the 4 games our lovely community has been playing in the last month. Steve, Andrew and Ben are joined by our patron, friend and all-round sexpot Eamon, as they share their thoughts on PUBG, Battletoads, A Short Hike and Hotshot Racing. The more people who get involved in Game Club, the better and we'd love to hear your thoughts on October's games (revealed in this very podcast) so come join in the conversation at http://thecrossplayers.com/discord Patreon supporters even get to have their say on the games we play each month and get an exclusive pre-show podcast every week. I can think of worse ways to spend $1 a month, so why not sign up and get involved? http://patreon.com/thecrossplayers

Behold! Our mighty dissection of a game that is hot as hell at the moment; Hades from Supergiant Games. Ben takes a deep dive into the game alongside our friends Adam from the Switch Indie Fix podcast and Jeff from the Nindie Nation podcast. Follow those guys on Twitter at @switchindiefix and @nindienation and check out their podcasts for all your Nintendo Switch indie news and views. And hey, if you like what we do, please consider supporting us at patreon.com/thecrossplayers as it helps us to keep producing content like this in addition to our regular weekly show

Look, I'm just going to come right out and say it - Andrew made me name this episode 'Blowing Each Other & Taking Loads'. When I first took this job they told me it was a gaming podcast but the more I get to know them I'm starting to think there's something more sordid going on. So if you like video games and filth, please enjoy. And if you're a bonafide pervert please consider supporting at patreon.com/thecrossplayers Honestly, I don't know how much longer I can keep this up

Nathan, Laurie, Dan and Ben tackle the chonkiest news of the last week as we were blessed with showcases from both Sony and Nintendo. As well as unpacking all that and all the usual bollocks, Dan and Laurie were finally able to exchange their differing opinions on Ghost of Tsushima. You could cut the sexual tension with a knife.

SPOILER WARNING! Steve, Laurie and Andrew just couldn't shut up when they got together to discuss The Last of Us Part II, so here is part 2 of what is likely to end up being a trilogy of spoilercasts. I've never played TLOU2 so I have no intention of listening to this episode, which puts me in a weird position when writing this description. Like, I'd love to tell you how great it is, but that would be disingenuous. They're three of the smartest, most eloquent people I know but technically it could still be rubbish. Oh God, it could just be an hour of them slagging me off. Why do they hate me??? But I digress, this is APPARENTLY about The Last of Us Part II, so if that sounds good to you then please enjoy.

Here's a podcast about video games presented by four guys from the UK (one might be Irish?). They find each other funny and seem to have developed a following based mainly on in-jokes and colourful language. I don't know much about video games or humour, but if you're into those kind of things you might like it. On this episode they talk about a new kind of Xbox (I've heard of those) and Super Mario who I have also heard of. Hey, maybe I should ask them if I can come on the show since I actually know about as much as them, if not more. Anywho, they told me to include a link to patreon.com/thecrossplayers where you can give them money in exchange for extra content and to be called a prick at the end of every episode. Jokes on them though, I don't pay them anything and they call me a prick every day. Suckers.
