Hello fellows! It's safe to say that Mario is one of the most versatile video game characters. The plumber and his colourful cast have appeared in various genres of video games, ranging from sports and puzzles to RPGs and educational games. What do you think makes Mario so adaptable to different genres? Additionally, is there another genre you’d like to see Mario make the jump to?

How the hell is Mortal Kombat 1 going to run on the stinky Switch??

Hey all, I'm excited for you guys and I'm sure I'll be tuning in often! So, growing up with Nintendo I had many attachments and accessories for my handhelds like the eReader and extended grips, and enjoyed games playing with controller peripherals like the zapper and Mario Kart steering wheel joycon accessories. What are some of your favorite peripherals and accessories, first party or otherwise?

Hello punchers!! As I finished watching the Playstation showcase and being disappointed I can’t help but noticing more and more that the age of IPs having multiple games each console generation is ending. Sometimes not even that. What are your thoughts on this topic? Switch is hitting 6 years and so far we have got: 1 Mario 3D Game. 1 Zelda 1 Smash No new Mario Kart, No 2D Mario, No Starfox, No Donkey Kong, etc etc…

Hey NintenDudes I know you're just getting things off the ground but if you could have a guest on the show to pick their brains, who would you choose? (No restrictions) Much love from the Pacific Northwest! (OR)

Love the show! What are your top 5 games played on Switch that are not Nintendo first party games?

Nun-chuks, Wiimotes, Joy-Cons, Dual Screens, Konga Drums--Nintendo veered from the competition by focusing on innovative gameplay rather than computing power. What are your personal favorite Nintendo hardware 'gimmicks'? Which ones actually changed the way we play and understand video games? How might Nintendo be different today had they stayed uniform with the hardware trends of their competitors? ♥️ Brady

Show Segment Idea! Couch Co-op. Share a memory you have with a specific multiplayer game. For example, you could all share your favorite Smash Bros moments. These personal bits of nostalgia make for the best, most interactive/relatable, feel-good content.

Hey there Punching Uppers! What do you guys think of “censorship” when it comes to localisation for Nintendo games? For example, Fire Emblem Engage was moderately censored in the west for obvious reasons. The Japanese Nintendo fans actually found out about this on Twitter (more particularly some of the support conversations in FE Engage such as ones with Goldmary and Etie, or Alear and Anna) and started joking and making fun of the western releases for being so censored. Where do you guys draw the line for Nintendo’s “censorship” in their localisation, if at all? Do you guys think this is a cultural thing? Thanks! And love you all!

Gene Gene Gene, you cannot escape a classic LSM correction. Final Fantasy 13 was NOT the first Final Fantasy game on Xbox. That “honor” goes to Final Fantasy 11 the largely mediocre MMO that was on Xbox360 and PC.

Now that you guys host a podcast all things Nintendo, will you still refer to the Switch as the Stinky Switch or something a little more pleasant?
