  • JBarrett - reviewed the show.  

    • I’ve listened to a lot of nintendo Podcast over the last few years, and I’m glad I had the opportunity to discover this one!  The quality, research, insights and pacing of this podcast are all perfect, and the run times of each episode never feel overwhelming.  I really enjoy the music and retro cutscenes that bring me back to my childhood as well!  I worked in radio for several years and know how hard it can be to run a solo show, but RunJumpStomp makes it seem easy, and that’s what a true testament to his talent.  I highly recommend this podcast to any Nintendo fan or anyone who enjoys video games.  Keep up the great work!

    • Very different combat system (thank the maker)

    • Healing > pull potions out of the enemy > land on ground for you to pick up

    • Seems to be a real focus on switching weapons a lot to take advantage of cooldowns.

    • No indicators on whether or not a mob is hostile.

    • Combat role is based on weapons/blades you’re using.

    • You chose your abilities based on how they counter your enemy, information is right on the screen in the top right.

    • I think we can expect a top down Zelda, or traditionally portable games for the Switch based on this comment
