SImply put: stop doing it. If more content was a consideration late into development, it should be noted so consumers know they aren't being fished. Maybe stop making them altogether if the dev team is this deprioritized for these games. It's stupid. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/support

"The Problem" is a subtitle that let's you, the listener, know it'll be an organized rant episode about a problematic situation we find with a particular decision that Nintendo, or one of their subsidiaries or partners have made that have resulted in an inferior experience or product. As you've read the title, today's topic is Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield. We love the game, but their are a few too many issues with it to not address it, so with Taj here in-person to lead off the rant, we delve into what could've contributed to this being a near-flawless Pokémon experience in its then-new form factor. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/support

We know Nintendo sits on titles and strategically releases them. So, why did this year suck until September rolled around? (Not counting Xenoblade 3, of course [eheh].) This is me giving content without having to wait on something big or relevant enough to strike for a full episode. Let me know if you guys would appreciate more of these! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/support

This conversation happens pretty often throughout the years, but even Mr Sakurai himself has admitted bringing every fighter back from Ultimate PLUS new additions would be quite the monumental and practically impossible task, so I thought I'd help paint a picture of what a realistic roster of fighters would like in the future iteration of SSB. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/support

NF & CJ discuss whether the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass is really worth it, and in our case, it'd cost us $80/yr. We discuss how it started versus how it's going, what Nintendo got wrong, what's still wrong, as well as what they got right & convincing factors. In a later discussion, we'll also touch on what this could spell for the Nintendo Switch's successor.

This show will no longer be news focused, as far as panel discussions go. News Review will be solely hosted by NF to ensure quick delivery, as essential news should be. In Review will be the focus as a result along with PokéLogic, which will continue after I move within the next three months.

We get personal with our very first experiences with video games. Warning: it gets loud and is unbelievably funny(to us, at least.) We've decided to give you this slice separately, as it deviated from the main talks of the Direct and we wanted full focus on that. So, enjoy this little slice of us sharing more of our personal lives!

This episode, a bit dated, is Táj's thoughts on Pokémon Z, as well as us considering will they or will they not, with the Gen 4 remakes finally becoming a reality, is it possible under a new name? We also get Táj & CJ to reminisce, as well as hype about Diamond & Pearl in 2021! NF will be purchasing Legends Arceus, but what is it? How will it play? What's the story like? Should they go the distance with experimentation in this new form of Pokémon? The three of us delve deeply into all this here! (There seemed to be a connection issue on my end throughout the Pokémon Z portion of the episode. I was unaware that it was or why it occurred, so sorry in advance.) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/support

In NF & CJ's first episode as a duo (shocking, I know!), we are long overdue on talking about the long-awaited announcement of an improved Nintendo Switch, only it isn't quite what the majority of fans & analysts expected. If you're still interested in what our thoughts on the matter is, pop in for this episode of In Review! (The second PokéLogic episode IS next, I promise! It was supposed to be released two weeks after the S2 premiere, but when this got announced, I thought we'd have it covered the day of or following. No worries, though! It'll be here next week!) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nfreviews/support

With CJ back for our return to PokéLogic, we review topics from the show's past, from how we felt Let's Go would've turned out to what Sword & Shield brought us, including The Isle of Armour & The Crown Tundra; let's just say we REALLY had a lot to say about The Crown Tundra. In the next episode, we'll consider a "will they/won't they" of sorts on Pokémon Z or something similar to Legends Arceus, which is another topic we'll be discussing alongside the long-awaited Gen 4 remakes and what all this means for Game Freak moving forward.

Arguably Nintendo's best E3 since the Nintendo Switch era, CJ joins us for the first time on News Review to go over everything that caught our eye, as well as some great deals! From Metroid Dread to WarioWare, and from Danganronpa to Super Monkey Ball, we got a lot from this that supplied everyone's taste buds with "decadence", including a new "Sequel to Breath of the Wild" trailer. Crazy hype really comes across in this special E3 episode. Hope you join us for S2 on June 24 when we're back with a new PokéLogic episode, also featuring CJ!
