Switch Island - Nintendo Podcast

There can only be one winner and Jason is joined by Lewis and our patron Alex to try and decide which game will be our game of the month for June 2021. The boys work their way through June's games, which were Ratchet & Clank (2016), FIFA 21, Spiritfarer and Starlink. But, before all that we tried to come up with the perfect physical game club and we devised a new Patreon goal podcast, The Croc Pod! 

Like a fine wine, somethings are worth waiting for and this is no exception for our special E3 episode. Brew yourself up a nice cup of tea/coffee/Horlicks, get comfy in your favourite armchair and join Ethan & Jason on a relaxing journey through their top five moments of this years E3 extravaganza with bonus tangents that will delight on all levels  If you agreed/disagreed or have other thoughts on anything you've heard or just want to chat games then head on over to our discord, where you will find other like minded people and if your really lucky Lewis will show of his pair off Crocs (his pride and joy!)

On this episode, and as is the way with Game Club hosts, we witness Jason's inevitable descent into megalomania, as he callously casts aside his usual co-hosts in favour of our Patreon supporters Lalena and Mark. One can only assume Jason plans to assert his dominance over these kind souls in a desperate bid to get his own picks onto July's Playlist. Will his evil plan be successful or will Lalena and Mark fight back and even save Jason from the path towards self-destruction and ultimate doom? Tune in to find out and have your say over on Discord.

Dan and Ben were joined by Gary Gray and our old mucker Andrew to watch the Xbox and Bethesda E3 conference, and what a show it was. This is a brief summary of their thoughts, straight after it happened!

Bonus episode o'clock! Get ready for the hottest of hot takes because Ethan, Jason, Dan and Ben literally just watched the Ubisoft Forward E3 2021 presentation and here's what they thought. But what did YOU think, sexy sexy listener?

It's E3 season and that can mean only one thing - every single gaming podcast needs to do a prediction show. Never ones to rock the boat, we've gone ahead and done just that, as Ethan plonks himself in the hot seat and stares deeply into his crystal ball alongside Dan, Ben and Nathan. What do you think of our predictions? Swing by Discord to let us know!

Gamer Jason rounds up a merry band of misfits to review our Game Club games of May 2021. Thanks to our lovely Patreon supporter Alex for joining us on this one. You too can be as cool as him by getting involved over on Discord or Patreon. Oh, did I mention Lewis and Ben are on this episode too? Nah I didn't. You know why? Because I hate them. There I said it.

Join Lewis, Dan and Ben as they offer their uniquely gobshitey take on the latest gaming news and what they've been playing. To be part of the conversation, come on over to Discord and say "gloves up and stay buttery".

There's a new king of the Game Club castle, as Jason takes the hot seat to guide Ben & Dan to choose some suitable games for the Game Club in June! Dont forget to head over to thecrossplayers.com/discord to join in on the voting! 

With Ori and the Will of The Wisps being part of this month's Game Club (get involved over on Discord!) Ben had a chat about it with Perry from the excellent Talk Nintendo podcast. Being conscientious podcasters, they recorded that conversation and... this is it!

Nate, Ethan and Laurie get together to pick apart a whole lot of gaming news and give their views on New Pokemon Snap, Returnal and NieR Replicant. They even make time to sneak in a fun little game of their own. Enjoy!

Tissues at the ready as Andrew, Max and Jason round up and review April's Game Club games. Want to get involved in Game Club? Of course you do, it's a nice way to have shared experiences with a very nice group of people, and Lewis. To join in the fun, come on over to Discord and say hi.

Hello there, dear listeners! Kick back and relax as Lewis, Dan and Ben have a good, old-fashioned chat about gaming gubbins they've picked up and played, including but not limited to a console, a peripheral and a bunch of old games Lewis stole from his own mother. The bastard.

Oh hello there! Can you believe it’s been 10 days since our last episode? Feels like longer, doesn't it? Hey, you had a hair cut! Suits you. Really brings out your eyes. There's a lot of other stuff that's changed in the last 10 days. For example, we've changed our podcast hosting service so if you're reading this, that means it worked. We're also tinkering around with one or two new formats, and this episode is one such experiment. Basically, it's the Pick Up and Play section from CrossCast, expanded out, giving the team a little more time to nerd out about whatever has been tickling their fancy of late. With that in mind, join your hosts Nate and Laurie as they have their say on Immortals Fenyx Rising; Concrete Genie and Bravely Default II. Enjoy and hit us up on Twitter @TheCrossPlayers to throw some feedback our way about this format!

Dan, Lewis, Laurie and Ben get together to discuss a whole load of video game stuff in a style some critics have described as "pretty shite but at least they don't mention Prince Philip".

For this week's CrossCast, Ethan, Nate, Dan and Ben were joined by Sam Webster, producer of the Grindstone soundtrack, one of our favourite OSTs from last year. This episode was actually recorded a couple of weeks ago but was a real bastard to edit - we’ve done our best to make it as listenable as possible and hope you enjoy!
