What’s up Brick Fister’s If only one model of the current Switch can survive past the launch of the Switch 2 which should it be? The smaller cheaper Switch light? The Redbox Switch for Labo Suport. The Switch OLED. I’ll hang up and listen now .

Hopefully it’s not just used to draw a maze or some shit in a 1,2 switch like game. It would be good if they released some RTS games and made use of the mouse. What do you guys think?? Keep on gooning.

2025-02-10 05:23:20 +0000 UTCHello Fisters, Gene, I need your input on the Kendrick Super Bowl halftime show? Is Drake totally dead now? Kendrick’s A Minor chain was a great touch. Have a “THEY NOT LIKE US” type of day

I was shoveling snow this weekend and the song came on my spotify playlist and I noticed that the singer actually says rivers in the dessert. So I agree with Gene. This is not the best song in the game.

2025-02-10 04:41:45 +0000 UTCHey Puncher-Uppers and First Lady to Kazekage Moriarty! Wario Land 4 is coming to NSO this week. It's easily one of my favorite GBA games, and probably the best in the series. Do you think it's time we finally get a new entry, or do you prefer the Big N stick with WarioWare? Cheers!

2025-02-10 02:29:06 +0000 UTCYo brick breakers, We've seen a lot of prognosticators talking about realistic potential launch titles for Switch 2, including Mario Kart 9, possibly a new main line Mario, Metroid Prime 4, etc. But I'm curious about you're thoughts on the long shots. What games would you love to see shock the world? For instance, I would love to see a revival of Startropics or maybe find out that Sakurai has been working on another Kid Icarus. What do you think? I'd love to hear your creative, fresh ideas as well.

2025-02-10 01:50:38 +0000 UTC"What's up, box pounders? So, I've been hearing about butt gulping for a while now, and I finally decided to give it a shot. Took a nice shower, spread the ol’ brown eye, and tried to slurp up some water—pure science, you know? Turns out, I must not have the gift like Micah does on those special occasions because no matter how hard I tried, nothing went in. Guess I’m just not one of the chosen ones. Stay hydrated, y’all."

2025-02-10 01:21:54 +0000 UTCWhats up Punching Up Crew, This one is for Micah and it’s regarding your GameStop dilemma. Just use all the GameStop credit and preorder the switch 2 as soon as they allow preorders. That should dry up all that dirty GameStop credit. I did a very similar thing when I traded in my series s and used the credit to pay for part of my ps5 pro. Just a thought. Love the show!

2025-02-10 01:20:42 +0000 UTCSort it out Nintendo, literal inventors of the D-pad, for making 2 consoles in a row without a proper D-pad.

2025-02-10 01:15:13 +0000 UTCWhat's sup trio, A question for Micah, I hope you got KCD 2 by now and started it or this question can be ignored. How are you finding the combat, I see people saying difficult & after 6 years 3 retries of the first game it finally clicked but still the combat was difficult, in groups impossible. KCD 2 I'm finding a breeze, the combat feels so much better and refined. How are you finding that specifically & any other improvements that stuck with you :)?

2025-02-10 01:01:45 +0000 UTCHey, Upper-Punches! PSN was down for about 24 hours. It was a huge story. My question for you guys and gal: If Nintendo Online went down, how long would it take for you to notice? What would make you notice? Is this a hidden strength of Nintendo?

2025-02-10 00:44:26 +0000 UTCHey Punchers, In the future, moving forward how would you feel if we started seeing more games target the Switch 2 as the lead platform to develop on? (To be clear not all games) It would likely force developers to lower the scope of graphical fidelity but also force them to learn tricks to optimize their game to run on weaker hardware. This can potentially make games cheaper to make. For example, the latest Prince of Persia was developed with Switch as the target and it runs in 1080p, 60 FPS, while the PS5 port runs at 4K and up to 120 FPS. We get solid performance for the Switch while different platforms can benefit from these optimizations, even platforms like the Steam Deck too. To be clear some games do benefit from not being held back from weaker harder and focusing on fidelity such as Alan Wake 2. Ultimately I find that there is something deeply broken about how we're generations past the PS3/Xbox 360 and it's still a gamble if we can even get a stable 60 fps console port while games generally look only marginally better than they did last generation. Maybe I'm jumping the gun here since we don't know how powerful the Switch 2 is. This is just my two cents on a broader subject in regards to where gaming is right now, especially in the AAA space, but I would like to hear how you guys feel about this, also because I feel like I'm missing a lot in regards to this larger conversation.

2025-02-10 00:43:37 +0000 UTCHello, you lovely punchdrunks! Do you all think it would be smart for Nintendo to include Mario Kart 9 as a pack-in game for the NS2? Nintendo would lose out on sales of a game with an inherently high attach rate, but if it was included and had some online features, Nintendo could offer in-game purchases such as new karts, new costumes, different paint types, etc. Many would view this game inclusion as a generous offer from Nintendo while potentially allowing for much more revenue from the game similar to the likes of Rocket League, Fortnite, and GTA Online. What say you?

2025-02-10 00:20:55 +0000 UTCWhat's up fellow stinky switch user's, Question what is everyone's "one last thing" hope at the april 2nd direct? I'm hoping for a Xenogears remake so Tetsuya Takahashi can finally finish that second disc. What say you?

2025-02-10 00:18:40 +0000 UTCHey puncher-uppers! As an Alabamian, I need to give you all a little education on white barbecue sauce referenced in last week’s episode. It was invented by the owner of Big Bob Gibson’s BBQ in Decatur, AL (only a few miles from where I live), and it is traditionally used as a BBQ or dipping sauce for smoked chicken. It has a spicy, vinegary taste that cuts the fat and smoke of a proper Barbecued chicken. The mayonnaise flavor is not overpowering. I would recommend Micah get a good white sauce recipe, smoke some chicken, and then dip the whole smoked chicken in the sauce. Give it about 5-10 minutes to tack up before eating, and I can guarantee you and Colin would be pleased! He might even make all your Naruto fantasies come true. Thank you guys for the stellar Nintendo content, and keep powering up.

2025-02-10 00:05:18 +0000 UTCHappy Super Bowl Sunday Mario Fisters! I would love to see a Legend of Zelda collection like Super Mario All Stars. What games would you like to see in a Holy Triforce collection? Personally I’d love Majoras Mask, WindWaker, and Twilight Princess
