Nintendo Voice Chat

The Nintendo Direct had TONS of great new reveals to get excited about, and Brian Altano, Seth Macy, Reb Valentine, and Peer Schneider are here to talk about them all! With everything from F-Zero 99, to Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and the reveal of Princess Peach: Showtime gameplay, we're breaking it all down. There were even some great 3rd party reveals, including Unicorn Overlord from Vanillaware, a Trombone Champ port FINALLY coming to Switch, and more on Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story. There's a lot to talk about, so let's jump in! 
 

Wow, Nintendo had a week, huh? We learned the Tears of the Kingdom crew won't be putting out DLC, but are instead moving on to a whole new game. That kind of rules but also sucks. And it wouldn't be a full episode of the Nintendo Voice Chat podcast without a good discussion about Switch 2 rumors, a rumored Nintendo Direct, and then some actual Nintendo facts via Logan Plant's interview with Doug Bowser.
