  • GigaTigga reviewed the show

    • I just bought a Nintendo Switch after not having a console since the Nintendo 64, and I subscribed to several Podcast to get up to speed on News reviews etc., and out of all the ones I subscribed to this is the one that I did not unsubscribe from.  This so far has been the best switch podcast I have discovered so far.  Keep up the good work.

    Just a quick note to say how much I enjoy your SwitchCraft podcast. I've not been able to leave a review, my podcast service  does not do reviews.
    I really like your more mature non bias approach to Nintendo related stuff. You are not afraid to point out when something is bad with Nintendo.
    
    A couple of quick questions about Splatoon 2.
    
    I really enjoyed the splat fests, but I hate giving my T shirt back, do you think it would be good to keep them ? the rest of the game gives out new clothing all over the place, yet takes your splat fests  T back as soon as the event is over. It would be nice in a couple of years to go over the collection just to see what splat fests you had taken part in.
    
    Do you think they will ever add offline play for the multi player modes ? I.E play turf war with bots ? I play MK8D battle mode with bots all the time, and it's not too bad.
    
    Please keep up the good work.
