Switch Island - Nintendo Podcast

Lewis, Dan and Ben take a break from real world woes for a good old game of what we're now calling... Dr Fact's Big Fact Hunt. We hope you're all safe and well and get a few giggles out of listening to these three pillocks. Oh, heads-up - Ben's mic sounds a bit weird for the first 15 minutes (don't worry, he's not self-isolating in a cave).

Well, well, well. This is a pretty special episode. Dan and Ben had the pleasure and extraordinary good fortune to sit down and talk games with none other than the head honcho of IGN and co-host of Nintendo Voice Chat, Peer Schneider. Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it. We encourage you to show Peer some love and let him know what you think of his game, food and drink picks by tweeting him @PeerIGN Thank you for your continued support, because none of this would happen without you.

Join Lewis, Andrew, Laurie and Ben as they run down the game announcements from the March 2020 Indie World Presentation. * Please note, the above description was written by Andrew while he was very grumpy. No time to write playful descriptions when you've got 47 other podcasts to appear on.

This episode is hosted by Dan, Andrew, Ben and... and what's this? A wild Mikey Boo Boo appears! Join the boys as they give a very Switch Island take on the recent Nintendo Direct Mini and share their initial thoughts on the game that, quite frankly, ripped off our whole island theme - Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This episode was recorded in the middle of the day, with absolutely zero alcohol involved. These truly are strange times. Stay safe, everyone. We love you.

In what is almost definitely our first ever one-man podcast, Dan self-isolates with nothing but his shiny new soundboard for company. He didn't want anyone else on the pod, just him and his soundboard. I get it. It's fine. Totally cool with it. HEY DAN IF YOU LOVE YOUR SOUNDBOARD SO MUCH WHY DON'T YOU ASK IT TO DO A WEE ON YOU? WILL YOUR SOUNDBOARD DO THAT??? I'LL TELL THEM EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW I WILL. This episode is also available in video form, which you lovely bastards can watch here: https://youtu.be/nyYJdWuvWG0

Laurie, Andrew and Lewis put on their party hats and scoff some cake in celebration of the Switch's 3rd birthday. Admittedly, the cake they're scoffing is probably hella hard by now, but our dear Patreon supporters got this episode back when it was timely and relevant. We invite you to become part of this elite group over at patreon.com/theswitchisland The boys also find time to discuss Fire Emblem (again), Two Point Hospital & 1-2-Switch, of all titles!

This week, the chaps talk a whole load of nonsense about Andrew's dodgy curtains, coronavirus disruption, the upcoming releases, and our top three games of the Switch's first three years!

Lewis, Laurie and Ben grab their body pillows and questionable mouse mats to discuss Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. They also somehow make Sonic The Hedgehog 2 sound vaguely perverted as only The Switch Island can. You can also assist us in our quest to help Andrew remember that other games exist by tweeting @oddment84 GET OFF FORTNITE, ANDREW

On this episode, your hosts Lewis, Andrew & Ben are joined by an actual, proper journalist and a legend in UK gaming coverage, Chris Scullion. Join the boys as they talk about Chris' career, his DIC game choice and even squeeze in time for a Big Fact Hunt. Please note we can not be held accountable for any factual errors made during this episode as we were NOT drunk during the time of recording. Don't forget, the simplest (and cheapest) way to support The Switch Island is to leave us a review on your podcast service of choice. We'll also happily read the best ones out on future episodes.

Andrew, Ben, Laurie & Rich met up in the real world to enjoy drinks and random snacks sent directly to our table from our lovely friends and followers (thank you, you crazy bastards). The boys cover many topics, including hot takes on the Animal Crossing Direct, Ninja being a bellend and some other stuff we're too drunk to remember. Mum, if you're reading this, we love you and we're sorry.

The Switch Island Podcast is your one-stop-shop for all things Nintendo! In episode 44, the guys talk about when the latest direct might drop, as well as discussing the games they picked up in the recent eShop sales! #AnimalCrossing #NintendoDirect #eShopSales ------------------------------ If you enjoy consuming our content as much as we love making it, you can support us directly by contributing to our Patreon: patreon.com/theswitchisland ------------------------------ Hop on over to the island and get involved with our super-friendly gaming community: Twitter: twitter.com/theswitchisland Discord: discord.gg/hZ5NW3w

On this episode Lewis and Ben are joined by Nintendo Life video producer Zion Grassl all the way from the good old United States of US America. Listen in to discover whether Zion's game choice is good enough to keep him on the island or whether his food and drink choices will let him down... As a special bonus, there's a questionable musical interlude that we're already regretting including. But it's too late now. Enjoy! If you're still reading this (thanks!) please tweet @ThatDoctorFact with the words DONT QUIT YOUR DAY JOB LEWIS And if you're STILL reading this then you just might be the sort of wonderful person who may consider supporting us from as little as $1 a month over at patreon.com/theswitchisland

On this week's show Lewis and Ben are joined by none other than Zion from Nintendo Life. The boys have a nice little chat about all the games they've been playing recently as Zion very politely pretends to understand everything Lewis is saying. They had such a good time that Zion may be back sooner than you'd think...

This is a big one. Lewis, Dan and Ben welcome Kevin, Sergio and Darrel from Nintendo Jump Podcast to discuss their game, food and drink choices. There's also a cameo appearance from an old favourite we haven't heard from in a while...

In the words of Timbaland as Aaliyah's 'Try Again' begins: 'It's been a long time'. Sorry! But now we're back in your ear holes with a brand new Express, this time hosted by resident Scot, Lewis Wilson. He's joined by Laurie Eggman64 (you need to change your surname by deed poll now, Laurie) and Mr Andrew Dickinson as they chat all about the future of Splatoon, Pokemon Sword/Shield, Little Nightmares and Dead Cells. If you've read this far, please tweet the word FRIDGE to Andrew @oddment84.

This week, we tackle the latest pokemon direct, as well as this weeks game releases! The topics in full; 1. Nintendo Switch Sold Out! 2. Pokemon Direct Hit or Miss? 3. Are Video Game TV Shows & Films Good Now? 4. Luigi’s Mansion is another average release? 5. Who else would we want to make a handheld? Thanks for listening!

Laurie takes a break from strapping babies to his chest and has a go at hosting this episode, alongside Dan and Rich. They cover a load of games they've been playing and it's all very wholesome and lovely until Rich ruins it with his potty mouth.

This week, Jon, Ben, Andrew, and Dan all jump on to discuss their topics of choice. Their picks; 1. This years predictions 2. Next gen consoles 3. How can you complete a game in 2020 4. Ports from the WiiU Enjoy!

Happy New Year! Let's welcome 2020 with one final look back at 2019 as Mike, Lewis, Dan and Ben hunker down for a game of 20 questions and yet again prove that they really shouldn't be hosting any sort of gaming podcast. Play along at home with your friends and family, but definitely NOT with children, because Mike struggles to say Big Fact Hunt on multiple occasions.

As we approach the end of 2019, Mike, Andrew, Sticky & Ben take a look back at the year in gaming and highlight some of the more slept-on titles which weren't covered in our main GOTY podcast. While you're listening you can play a fun game - try to pinpoint the exact moment when Sticky's PC has a meltdown and he drops off the call completely. We weren't just ignoring him for half of the episode, honest.
