#fanatixfour #nintendoswitchSuper Mario Party Jamboree is the BEST game in the seriesRe:Direct2024-10-08 | Support Re:Direct through our Memberships &/or Merch! ➡️ shop.watchredirect.com
Super Mario Party Jamboree is next big Nintendo Switch game on the horizon & based on what we’ve seen in overview trailers, previews, and other gameplay footage it’s looking to be the best Mario Party game since the days of its prime on GameCube & N64.
Nintendo’s banger holiday slate of games for 2024 is continuing in a little over a week with the release of Mario Party Jamboree & as someone that has felt down on the franchise on the whole since the late Wii days, Jamboree is looking good and I’m excited for various reasons I wanted to talk about!

Nintendogs was one of Nintendo’s premiere franchises in the DS & 3DS eras with games like Nintendogs Chihuahua and Friends selling well over 20 million units in the franchise's prime. “Nintendo Switch 2” is the perfect opportunityto bring it back…
Grand Theft Auto is one of if not THE biggest franchises in gaming. Nintendo Switch is one of the biggest consoles of all time. It's time to combine their powers next gen with Switch 2 & GTA VI
Switch 2 has a lot to live up to when it comes to nailing a solid launch lineup. Here are a few suggestions that could help it exceed those expectations…

Nintendo Switch was blessed with a LEGENDARY 1st year comprised of launch titles that are still lauded as some of the best games on the platform today - some best of all time even.
With Switch’s successor (which the internet has chosen to preemptively dub “Nintendo Switch 2” - or typically just “Switch 2”) getting closer by the day, rumors of Switch 2 leaks dominating the conversation, & Nintendo being relatively quiet about the whole thing - AJ figured now’s a good time to join in the Nintendo Switch 2 predictions & speculation!

2024 has been full of failure for some of the biggest names in the industry & the cause can be easily traced back to the incessant need to be on the bleeding edge of tech & other forms of greed. Meanwhile, Nintendo has been on the best run of its existence with the comparatively minimal Nintendo Switch.
Along the way, many have criticized them for this more reserved approach assuming that it would leave them behind their competition but now, with their competition doing things like speedrunning failure like PlayStation with the release & subsequent of Concord & the controversial announcement of PS5 with a $700 price tag. Or Xbox with its many layoffs after spending billions to acquire the talent they are leaving jobless.
Nintendo clearly saw the writing on the wall. Their strategy has left them looking to be the only truly sustainable business heading into their next generation console "Nintendo Switch 2" (or whatever it'll more likely be called). Let's look at what got us here. . .

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is less than a month away. With its impending highly anticipated release as one of the biggest Nintendo Switch games of 2024, there's a lot of questions Nintendo has yet to answer. In this video AJ does some analysis of all of the important information we know from everything from the reveal trailer & previews all the way to the recently released Still World gameplay trailer as well as what he hopes for features Nintendo has yet to showcase like DLC, additional abilities, more support characters, & more!

2024 has been a BIG year for remakes, remasters, ports, reboots, reimaginings - YOU NAME IT of old and relatively new games alike. The internet has been having a very normal one about it & tbh I don’t disagree… not COMPLETELY at least. It’s been hard to put a finger on why so I did some research on the history of the practice, interviewed WayForward for a developer/publisher perspective, & talked with Kevin Kenson to figure it out.

Naysayers have underestimated Nintendo time and time again, and the Switch is NO exception. In fact, it's a very blatant example. From pre-launch Nintendo NX doom predictions to whispers of a "slow year" in 2024, Nintendo consistently proves the skeptics WRONG. The latest Nintendo Direct has solidified a promising 2024 AND 2025 on the horizon. AJ wants to dive into all of this and more reasons why Nintendo Switch is the best console we've ever seen.

Palworld is the current hot topic for not only the Pokémon community - or even the gaming community - but rather for a lot of people that even have a slight relationship with either of the 2.
It’s pretty polarizing with anyone that cares to engage at all either loving or hating the game for various reasons. AJ happens to fall into the latter camp after playing the Game Pass version of the games for several hours - & he wishes he didn’t, here’s why (spoiler: it’s not for the reason you’d probably expect from a lifelong Pokemon fan).
UPDATE - Looks like Nintendo & Pokemon Company have had enough? MONTHS later they have officially filed a Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc.
