With the Switch about to enter it’s sixth year of life, players seem set to have a lot to look forward to in 2023! In this week’s episode, your hosts Nick, Nicolas and Dennis are kicking off January with a roundup of the (surprisingly large) list of indie games that Nintendo announced during our holiday break, including Sports Story, The Punchuin and more. We’ll also unpack some new Fire Emblem Engage details revealed in recent previews, including more on its structure and gameplay loop! There’s a ton of exciting news to discuss this week, and we can’t wait for our listeners to kick off a new year with us!
