    May 15 2026
    The Switch 2 is officially getting a price increase this September, but there’s still time to avoid the price hike. Join Logan Plant, Jada Griffin, Brian Altano, and Seth Macy as they talk about what the price increase means for Switch 2’s future, the new bundle that softens the blow for people ready to pick up the hardware now, and why Nintendo needs to introduce a Switch 2 Lite. Plus, more information from Nintendo’s quarterly financial report, including big numbers for Pokemon Pokopia and Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a very slow start for Mario Tennis Fever, and the final totals for Switch 2’s impressive first year on the market. Stick around for a ton of thoughts on Star Fox, including why we’re totally okay with it being another Star Fox 64 remake. Finally, we talk about what we’re playing, including Mixtape, Zelda: Twilight Princess, and the Best Buy kiosk demo for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

    Tomodachi Life Is Hilarious, But It Makes One Huge Mistake - NVC 808
    Apr 17 2026
    We’re living the dream this week on Nintendo Voice Chat, as the next Tomodachi Life entry is finally here. Join Logan Plant, Brian Altano, Seth Macy, and Miranda Sanchez as Logan and Miranda talk about their 35+ hours in Nintendo’s quirky, hilarious life sim. From the huge fight between Samus Aran and Reggie Fils-Aimé, to the best things we created just to see what would unfold, we talk about our favorite parts of Living the Dream. The game is a blast, but its lack of sharing Miis, creations, and screenshots puts a dark cloud over the whole thing. Later, the crew answers your Question Block submissions, including their favorite games that caused them to take notes, and a discussion on if Nintendo is doing enough to appeal to younger audiences in the age of Fortnite and Roblox. 00:00:00 - Intro & Tomodachi Life Review Discussion 00:30:37 - What's Missing from Tomodachi Life? 00:49:10 - What We're Playing - Graveyard Keeper 00:52:53 - Deadzone: Rogue 00:56:55 - UFO 50: Physical Edition 01:01:04 - Question Block! & Outro #nintendo #tomodachilife #gaming Learn more about your ad choices.
