Episode 166Summer games season comes to a strong close with Nintendo's (presumably) last Switch-centric Nintendo Direct - and they certainly close things out on a high note. From Zelda to Metroid to Mario & Luigi to Dragon Quest, there seems to be something for just about everyone in this packed games showcase. In today's episode, we discuss all the games shown at the Nintendo Direct. As always, we conclude with the games we are playing (Linkito, Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak).
