Switch Island - Nintendo Podcast

This week, Ben, Rich and Andrew are joined by new Islander Laurie as he attempts to smuggle Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker onto the island. Regular listeners might be thinking "why are you telling us his game choice already? You've ruined the surprise! I hate you!". Well, it's definitely not because Laurie's face isn't suitable to put on the cover art (he's actually quite dishy, definitely top 5 on the island). The reason is that we want people to find our content, so by including the games in the episode titles, the more searchable they become. Bet you wish you'd never asked. Anyway, this is a long description isn't it? Well it's been a rough week and it's just nice to have someone to talk to. And hey, you can always reach out to us if you want to chat - @TheSwitchIsland on Twitter is your best bet or join our Discord (links below). It's like a family. A weird family full of nerds, but a family nonetheless. Thanks for listening. The Switch Island ------------------------------ If you enjoy consuming o

This week, Laurie makes his debut and pretty much predicts the NOW ANNOUNCED Nintendo Direct. Young Mike gets hammered on a fine whiskey, and then everyone chats on about Astral Chain, as well as the latest Switch news & upcoming releases. Lovely stuff.

They say "don't sh*t where you eat" but on a desert island there's really not much choice. With that in mind, we've kept things strictly in-house for episode 19, which sees islanders Dan and Rich attempt to get their game, food and drink choices onto the island. This one is also a bit special as it marks the first time that we've met and recorded a podcast in person. Alcohol may have been consumed. ------------------------------ 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: YouTube: youtube.com/theswitchisland Twitter: twitter.com/theswitchisland Discord: discord.gg/hZ5NW3w

After the Indie World presentation, the lads had some thoughts! Hit the play button to the listen to the thoughts! They're good! Honest!

Well, the guys have had their wicked way with Dan and persuaded him to buy Fire Emblem. However, is this really a GOTY contender? Listen the team debate this, and a number of non-Fire-Emblem things. But, i'm not going to lie, it's pretty much just Ben and Pete waxing lyrical about Fire Emblem. Have we said 'Fire Emblem' enough yet to help our SEO? ... Fire Emblem.

On this episode we welcome Sean Capri, co-host of the fantastic If We Ran Nintendo podcast. Let's see if Ben, Mike and Rich are impressed enough with Sean's game, food and drink choices to permit him safe passage onto our resplendent island. ------------------------------ 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: YouTube: youtube.com/theswitchisland Twitter: twitter.com/theswitchisland Discord: discord.gg/hZ5NW3w
